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.

In Edwardian England maybe. My gut feeling seeing that is just a reminder of human trafficking and how Chinese immigrants largely had to be female to the US, and forced to be prostitutes sometimes contractionally to pay off the person who secured them a passport. Maybe it was just some sexism, but it sent a chill up my spine to be sure

Sure, but I should add this this was pretty much Japan’s immigration policy with people moving from poorer countries like the Philippines. Not even refugees. Just people working in Japan who decided they wanted to stay longer.
