Politik Kills comments

What fresh hell is this?

It’s not like it’s never happened before. It’s not like the central government doesn’t know what to do. It’s not like it’s a one-off occurrence. This country suffers from major earthquakes all the time! How can people still be shivering in freezing conditions with no water?!

oh, of course, there’s the 2025 Expo to prepare for. That’s much more important. So much so that building materials won’t be sent to Ishikawa.

unbelievable, Kishida. Just unbelievable.

Quotas are the most inefficient form of ‘efficiency’.

American fear of socialist institutions (bc socialism = communism right?) is hobbling what could be a successful democratic experiment. Among a host of other things.

Japanese politics is not as toxic and bat guano crazy as US, but it has its own problems, like baked-on dinosaurs who inherited their privilege and power and have no idea about, nor regard for, the general population.

Neither is in a healthy state, fit to really lead, but I’d say that Japan is far more stable than US.

Yet again @sakurasuki gets only downvotes, this time not for expressing an opinion but for facts, supported by credible links.

I know and have met some police here. They are not the kind of people you should trust.

She’s a hero and a role model to all.

Holden Colorado?!

I can remember when Holden was Australian.

Yes, it was reality until Reagan destroyed it.

Aso would have to be the luckiest man in Japan. Born into his privileged position of power, consistently surviving making gaffes and faux pas that would damage a more thoughtful person’s career. He is a rusted-on relic of everything that is wrong with society here.

H.R. Pufnstuf!

Further evidence of the calibre of ‘people’ who force themselves onto the public as ‘leaders’. These out-of-touch-with-real-people elites, born into their positions of power, are nothing but egotistical, pathological, self-interested parasites.

Of course they will get away with this.

Massive class action is needed. Bring this criminal organisation down through the courts.

These coming of age days seem to be more and more being hijacked by ne’er-do-wells (“When do they do well?” “Ne’er!”), of course always young men that have been treated like kings through childhood, or mistreated in rough homes.

Anyone who has spent any time in Japan Inc. will know that this is a deeply societal problem, although when Japan was rebuilding itself after WW2 it was a boon to the country. Now it’s a millstone around the neck of the country, dragging it further down while the bureaucrats will of course do nothing to change it.

Of course, many keyboard warriors will jump on @sakurasuki for his ‘bias against women in the workplace’ etc, but his statement goes for anyone. There are some people who don’t want to be in executive positions. There are many who recognise that they are not qualified for that role, so they do not strive for that.

The onus is not entirely on companies’ policies, but on society as a whole here. Little boys are still treated like kings, and little girls are still treated completely differently, and so the cycle of misogyny, inequality, patriarchy, and sexism will continue indefinitely.

Israel creating future generations of enemies who will never forget and never forgive.

Good luck with that, Glasses!

Reaffirming the types of people who wish to become cops here.

Who the hell is doing all the downvoting?!?!

I’m in Kirishima, way way south of there, but shocked just the same. Stay safe people.

Falsified safety tests over 3 decades. Testing components, then installing different untested components. They won’t survive this no matter how deep or long their apology bow is at the press conference. They. Are. Toast.

Could this be another corruption scandal like Daihatsu? So much corruption in government and primary industries here.

With the amount of research and development that goes on here, the cause could not be because of any lack in this area. More likely the result of corruption.

Gosh, hope that didn’t spoil your Xmas breakfasts.

Such a revolting part of the culture here. Both host and hostess clubs, cabaret clubs, even ‘snack’. Exploitative, misogynistic, demeaning. Most of the locals I know will never see this as a bad thing.

What did he think the helmet would do from that height so as to negate the need for a harness?

in Japan, you have to wear a helmet for any situation that requires you to look like you have some kind of importance attached to you. Not to mention the magic red cones. Unfortunately, these superficial ’safety’ measures don’t cover actual life threatening events.

Good to see these Fred Flintstones getting their comeupance. Should be much more accountability in Japan Inc.

After killing 3 white-flag-waving Israelis, the watching world calls out Israel. Not after killing more than 18.000 Palestinian civilians. We all know why Biden and others won’t condemn Israel and Netanyahu as the war criminals that they are.

Yes, he’s a moderate and the alternative could be that Takaichi piece of work. But as long as he is at the head of these never ending scandals, no governing will be done.

They are all the worst elements of society.

It’s projection and distraction. To quote @Bass4funk, pure and simple.

The levels of narcissism, arrogance, and sociopathy are through the roof!

I think the LDP should be relabelled a criminal organisation, or at least the Abe faction.

Ok, he’s handsome, a gentleman, a great athlete… but I’m sick to bloody death of hearing about him. The tv (even as I type this) incessantly bleating about him. Make it stop!!
