You’ve been avenged Asanuma! DIE BITCH! :japan-cool::stalin-gun-1::stalin-gun-2:
Fuck Shinzo Abe. How this dude got a pass for all his vile shit while Xi got demonized is a crime.
I feel like it’s pretty safe to assume “fuck that guy” but what did he do now? All I know is he was some conservative in charge of Japan for a long ass time
I’m about to sleep but I’ll quickly say that he was involved in a lot of wwII era denialism and visiting the war shrine of war criminals that committed crimes in Korea and China. He shifted Japan into a more aggressive foreign policy by courting NATO and the US military in the name of “peace.” He’s been praised by Steve Bannon for his hard-right conservatism. Abenomics basically being Reaganomics and the Ainu and Okinawan people suffering more under his nationalist policies. Oh yeah. Didn’t allow refugees unless they were women, which is very sus. Not sure if that’s still the case anymore.

A rather unremarkable politician?
Something the other person missed is that Shinzo’s party “reinterpreted” the part of Japan’s constitution that forbids them from having a non-defensive military, clearly signaling the country’s intent to join the US on any imperialist adventures in Asia despite the overwhelming majority of Japanese people being against it.

One of the biggest eye openers for me was realizing how the people Western media demonizes are invariably the ones who oppose its hegemony, while fascist butchers who happen to be West-aligned get glowing praise
