The thing that upsets these types how Japan is often used as the poster child by "right wingers" for why homogenous societies work. The Truth lies in that Japan is overhyped. Even though they're homogenous, have a self-sustaining economy and lack violent crime, the Japanese suffer from an amplified version of consumerism, a low birth rate and even [perversion](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chikan_(body_contact)), to an extent.

There is a reason why it used to be common to mock people who soyjack over "thing, Japan", but not "thing" in any other context.

Muslim societies are neither functional nor safe. The idea that "leftists" would begin attacking anything the "right wing" praises is true though, and so is the reverse. Most people aren't able to think outside their political binary. The talking points change because controlled opposition needs to uphold that binary framework to function.
