The casual racism of Japan’s #Sanseito party isn’t heart-warming—but their push to revive 1925 “Peace Preservation Laws”: downright bone-chilling If you think it's just about good-old fashioned nationalism, you're not paying attention @UnseenJapanSite substack.com/home/post/p-16…



The Prime Minister of Japan is stepping down and stepping up to the plate--probably the bat-shit crazy Takaichi Sanae. The one who talks directly to the Japanese gods. And who gave raving reviews to the book, "Hitler`s Election Strategy." lite-ra.com/i/2014/09/post…
Japan is experiencing the same kind of anti-immigrant backlash that America and Europe have experienced. But its leaders can act now to make sure things don't get too bad. noahpinion.blog/p/the-anti-imm…
Japan for the win. Economics isn't my forte, but I understand enough to call this one for Nippon. Despite Trump’s bluster, the new U.S.-Japan trade deal is a quiet strategic victory for Japan. While Trump touted “reciprocal 15% tariffs,” Japan actually negotiated down from…
What a GD loser. He's deflecting like his life depends on it. Freaking pedophile.

🚨TRUMP EXPLODES AT CNN AFTER THEY REVEAL EPSTEIN WAS AT HIS WEDDING: In a brief call with CNN today, Trump was asked about a photo of Epstein at his wedding. Trump said “you’ve got to be kidding me,” before repeatedly calling CNN “fake news” and hanging up. He’s terrified.
A foreigner served as an advisor for the "Japan First" party: Matt Braynard, an former Trump campaign staffer who founded Look Back America, an organization that supported the January 6 defendants, appeared on OAN as a "Sanseito party advisor."
In a Kyodo nationwide poll, 65.6% of respondents said they want stricter immigration controls, 26.7% felt the current regulations are sufficient, and only 4.4% favored easing restrictions.
One of the surprises of the election was Anno Takahiro, AI engineer & sci-fi enthusiast who won a seat under his Mirai ("Team Future") party. A newcomer to politics, his platform focuses on digitization, participatory democracy & tech-driven policy, with support mainly in Tokyo
So say we all.
Remember all of those hefty handouts Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski won in exchange for sealing the deal on Donald Trump’s behemoth budget bill? It looks like the president has found a way to get out of delivering. “I feel cheated." trib.al/kKjOO4F

I was hired to stuff losers like you into the locker after school. I have a troll quota to fill.
Is that's why you were hired? To full the Post's Black quota?
Would be a great help if foreign residents of Japan could spend a couple of minutes filling this in.
Dear Nikkei Asia followers and readers, We're conducting a newsroom survey aimed at foreign residents of Japan seeking their thoughts on the results of Japan's recent election, particularly with regard to the gains made by the Sanseito party. This survey is entirely anonymous…
Japan’s suica season in full swing 🍉 Do we go for square watermelon for 9800 yen or Godzilla’s egg for 9000 yen?
An impressive bank account doesn’t automatically make a man a provider. Being a provider type is a mentality, devotion and attitude
I was at a cafe and kept making eyes with a guy there and wanted him to approach me. I then heard his voice when he ordered a drink, and I was like, “Oh….never mind” Like smell, voice is an indicator of biological compatibility. I want children, so this is a non-negotiable
Good write up on Sanseito. Every country feels unease as globalisation and immigration accelerate. You cannot accelerate something without it being too fast for many people. Even the debate of the subject can feel uneasy, but it’s probably healthy.
These guys are nuts. They want to bring back the 1925 Peace Preservation Laws---it's like back to the worst future possible. substack.com/home/post/p-16…
