Unfortunately,Takashi’s ideas are not that original.

Aaaand that’s why people need to be careful who they elect.

24 ( +25 / -1 )

Yea, let Japan go to nuclear wars with China or North Korea.

-14 ( +1 / -15 )

To put it very roughly, 'we should just wipe out races that have babies like idiots,'

The Japanese paradox; welcome! but not really once your on the inside. Your just a kind of experiment for our unique racism.

Minor the optimum word, why give this crazy nonentity a platform to preach his looney tunes?

The photo is a dead give away.

Why do you keep cheering for war? I know you want to see Japan lose but in a nuclear war there are no winners. What’s the point?

I voted him and to the party. Paying four thousand yen every two months to NHK is a burden for pensioners and the poor. The guy is not answering to the expectations of the people. We sent him to the diet to lower the fees of NHK.

1 ( +6 / -5 )

He's been watching too many Marvel movies.

At first I thought this guy had something going for him, in a positive light that is. Now I see that he really is a nutter that should be censured for comments like this, and kicked out of the Diet!

13 ( +13 / -0 )

Has this guy had a psychological examination? He’s a flipping nutter!

9 ( +10 / -1 )

I dont really think he is that fringe or outlier. Many of these politicians have this streak in them.

If I was to be honest, and submit a sample of the segment of Japanese I have known, I think the stat would show 15 to 20% of them have some kind of mental disorder. Not saying thats conclusive at all, just what I have sampled.

@Haaa Nemui

Why do you keep cheering for war?

That's what this Tachibana dude wants. He said this

People killing each other is part of God's system, too,"

-10 ( +1 / -11 )

thats what allot of them want. just as long as they dont have to do it

-1 ( +4 / -5 )

He had me at "destroying NHK" but lost me when he became Hitler.

8 ( +9 / -1 )

That's what this Tachibana dude wants. He said this

I realize that but every article you comment on regarding Japan and its relations with its nearest neighbors you keep cheering on the possibility of NK sending missiles to Japan and how Japan would lose in a big way. Is that what you actually want?

11 ( +13 / -2 )

Ahh . . . His Mom must be sooo proud of him.

Finally I got the reason why people keep on electing Abe as PM..

What an idiot

8 ( +8 / -0 )

.

They released this guy to detract from the Oct. 1 Consumption Tax increase - AND - thus, to make everyone feel glad the 'sane' LDP is in command and not this idiot.

5 ( +6 / -1 )

I told you guys. My comment on July 12:

FYI, this party (NHKから国民を守る党) is mostly far right-wing and pro-Abe. Keep that in mind.

But people praised him just because being anti-NHK is cool. はぁ~

"It's impossible to teach dogs. They're close to being dogs. There are an overwhelming number of people like that in the world," he says

Like you

4 ( +5 / -1 )

This is exactly why Asian nations do not want Japan to have an active military again.

3 ( +12 / -9 )

After Trump, Bolsonaro and Johnson, the world is clearly ready for the implementation of the next stage of the Russo-Chinese plot to install dribbling incompetents at the head of all potential rival governments...,

4 ( +6 / -2 )

What a sleaze.

Fringe parties: all fun and games until they start calling for genocide.

5 ( +5 / -0 )

Genetically speaking, he isn't smart.

1 ( +3 / -2 )

With opinions like that, he should be in the LDP!

In a separate video discussing racism, Tachibana suggests that discrimination and bullying are forms of divine providence.

"Isn't it good for things to be natural? The natural order God created. People killing each other is part of God's system, too," he says.

So killing each other is fine, but standing on someone's doorstep saying "Pay up, granddad!" is not?

7 ( +7 / -0 )

An anarchist, if I have enough motivation, this group would be the first I'd snap my fingers to

-1 ( +0 / -1 )

This guy is a muppet,and I think he just burned all his political chances with such silly comments.

9 ( +10 / -1 )

Does he not realise that if his policy of killing off the stupid was enacted, he'd be the first to go?

8 ( +8 / -0 )

Its too terrible what Tachibana said. Arguing for ethnic genocide, and calling other races as "like dogs" is unforgivable. PM Abe and LDP will condemn Tachibana in strongest terms in the Diet.

There is something about Tachibanas eyes that make him real creepy.

1 ( +10 / -9 )

The NHK can rest easy. Tachibana is finished as a politician.

12 ( +13 / -1 )

Genocide is unnecessary. The human race is committing slow suicide, by failing to address global environmental concerns. Politicians and climate chance deniers (like Donald Trump, to name a prime example) are the Dr. Kevorkians of humanity, as well as of a good portion of other species on the planet.

1 ( +5 / -4 )

Thanks a lot fool! Now NHK is probably laughing all the way to our front doors.

10 ( +10 / -0 )

While I dont agree on his genocide ideas, im 100% behind him on his NHK stance

1 ( +4 / -3 )

"... why give this crazy nonentity a platform to preach his looney tunes?"

Because he party he heads got nearly a million votes in the last election.

1 ( +2 / -1 )

Well, I guess The Party to Protect the People from NHK has just lost my support.

6 ( +6 / -0 )

Did NHK create the anti-NHK party to discredit anyone who opposed being forced to pay for NHK? This lunatic sure is doing NHK a big favor.

6 ( +7 / -1 )

I wonder how Takashi would feel if someone made that same suggestion but the race selected was Asian, oh silly me that would require some level of empathy for this narcopath to comprehend the error of his way.

3 ( +4 / -1 )

I don’t think even calling this ‘regrettable’ will get him out of trouble here.

6 ( +6 / -0 )

""These countries have babies to the point of idiocy."

Clearly so did your parents.

Anyway, wouldn't be the first time Japan killed other nations' peoples in the millions, but that this can be said and gotten away with in this day and age is Simply unbelievable. This guy needs to be canned IMMEDIATELY. If not, ask him what he'd think if other nations thought Japan should be part of the receiving end of that genocide. I mean, we know he thinks Japan is born of "divine providence" and it is okay to abuse other nations' peoples, but put it to him seriously (and ask him if he thinks there's a god, or if the Emperor is god).

Anyway, won't be long before Japan starts sinking as the water levels rise, and people like this clown will be forced to move and live Under another nation's flag, like China.

Tachibana is just one of the many loonies let loose from the straightjacket of a mindless Japanese miseducation that head into politics to stir the rancid pot in order to get attention and enjoy the cheap perks of power while slurping at the trough.

Here is Tachibana's comment against this Kyodo's article.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cRMaqrXHh0

And here is the Youtube stream in which he refers to "genocide".

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Orfd3WmZuLU

Actually it is a pretty interesting talk.

He is in a talk with a young idealist Kamiya Sohei, who believes the world peace can be achieved through education and Japan can contribute. Tachibana's comment is made in this context. Remember, he is in discussion with an extremely naive Japanese young idealist!

Naturally Tachibana reminds this young man some realities. One of which is about world population increase, which, both believe, leads to conflicts among people due to limited resources. The possibility of "genocide" was referred in this context. Of course, he is NOT advocating any genocide.

The young man insists that at least we can try teaching a way of peace not of war. But Tachibana is brutal in response. People will not follow him, at least he himself will not follow him, The fact is that human being is an animal. Instincts overpower reasons. In the wake of war, human, like any other animal, move to self-defense for his country, his family and himself, not going out to the world for peace work.

And so on.

Talk about drinking Kool-Aid..wow...

He seems to be a very "progressive" thinker. Perhaps if he were to practice what he preaches?

...we should just wipe out races that have babies like idiots,...

Then why don't he start with himself? Just by looking at his picture here you can tell his IQ which is at absolute zero. The world has enough problems without another idiot like him.

He's been watching too many Marvel movies.

yeah hed better just nickname himself Thanos and start collecting those Infiniti stones

And I thought Trump was nuts, but this guy is a serious contender for the crown.

adding he has "no motivation to do so though."

So, crazy and lazy. Good Trump-like combination there. Just what I like to see (sarcasm).

"It's impossible to teach dogs.

Only if you're incompetent. I taught my dog how to open and close certain doors (granted, the door needed the right kind of handle, but it could be done). You just need a fraction of a braincell, a modicum of motivation, and that's about it. But what can I expect from a nimrod like this? He's living proof that Japan seriously needs to do something about mental healthcare, because this guy is in desperate need of a straight jacket and a padded cell.

This guy was offended a lot in childhood. So he grew up a freak.

Those silly idealists and their desires for peace and an educated populace!

Why won't they understand that war and stupidity is so much better? More profitable too!

It's all right, he'll just say he was drunk when he made the comments.

"To put it very roughly, 'we should just wipe out races that have babies like idiots,' or something like that,

Then maybe he should wipe his own parents out. They have certainly produced an idiot.

5 ( +5 / -0 )

That's a pretty nutty thing to think and say, that "we need to wipe out"' anyone. Quite evil, actually. Too bad it was an evil crazy guy who started a worthwhile conversation.

We DO need to be able to at least TALK about people who, in pockets of the world, have lots of kids they can't afford to take care of. A population chart of several sub-Saharan African countries show them each having over a billion people within 100 years. Obviously that isn't going to happen; something will give and it likely (and hopefully) won't be genocide. But we're not allowed to talk about that.

Right here in the US, there are communities where multiple generations of people tend to start very young having a lot of kids out of wedlock they have no intention of supporting on their own without 100% reliance on public services -kids who grow up and demonstrate the same mindset- but we aren't allowed to talk about that. We're not allowed to talk about that at all. You'd be immediately canceled from your life by words that end in '-ist' and '- phobic'.

We're just supposed to smile like fools and hand our tax dollars over to Uncle Sam's and the states' coffers on April 15th year after year. The hope is that the trend will produce millions of new Democratic voters, so discussion of and negative effects is off limits.

I think the word 'nutter' applies here.

Yes perfect logic.

One guy making a stupid statement represents all of Japan. But people in your own country making similar statements get a pass, nothing to see here. Focus on Japan.

But that's just it. People are focusing on Japan. (Olympic hosts 2020).

And people expect better from Japan.

Good grief.

Actually this guy represents allot of what Japanese think. I have worked for some nuts like this. Their view of anything non Japanese is that is must be subjugated; same views from WW2 times. His eyes say it all.

If you love Japan and are a fan boy or girl, dont ever work for one of these; it will change your outlook from fantasy thinking to reality, real fast.

-2 ( +1 / -3 )

But just supposing you're right, that makes the Japanese about two to three times as mentally healthy as Americans, about 45% of whom, according to some sources, will suffer from some kind of mental disorder during their lifetimes.

everybody suffers from a "disorder" at sometime in their life. Might be depression, paranoia, anxiety, PTSD, etc. I mean serious conditions, like bi polar-ism, bizarre logic and thoughts, peter pan syndrome, etc. and I am just speaking on what I have observed and experienced. If I sampled the whole population, my stats might be closer to 60%. In a country with no firearms, thats alarming, at least to me.

According to Wikipedia, the man has admitted that he suffers from bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.

Why does this not surprise me?

0 ( +0 / -0 )

HE DID NOT SUGGEST THAT.

He said there are people who think like this and he isn’t one of them.

Japanese media has just been trying to make people’s image of him bad. I found this an insult to people who get information not in Japanese, using the language barrier.

As we failed to address the problem due to political correctness and a false belive in capitalism being able to solve our troubles, we are now faced with what some have warned us for decades now.

We are entering another "Reformation War" also know as the "Thirty Years" and this is being accelerated by people such as Ms Rakete as well as "Greta."

A Sweedish politchen suggested that we should star eating humans due to overpopulation wile in Japan another radical polititian call for a genocide of sorts to solve the problem.

Certainly are both radicals and maybe an extrem.

However, they are also a reminder of what will happen should we continue to fail to solve our problems.

We need a Chinese approach on a global level to solve our troubles and this in a civilized as well as humane manner.

Should we continue to fail to do so, than we will in deed end up with some radical and monstrous actions that we will latter condem as we condem the NAZI era today.

We should condem those who are causing such extrem to become enevitable.

It is urgent that we face reality and act in a responssible and humane manner.

I did not see the movies but according to what I read about it, you are insulting Thanos by linking him with the comment uttered. Thanos' idea was to wipe out 50% of life form to save the universes. The selection was random. So no racism in his scheme.
