Abe Shinzo’s assassin achieved his political goals

1. If you let an assassination go to waste that’s 勿体ない

2. A lot of people sympathize with him as well.

   These whole event can be a case for philosophy & morality studies.

3. The Economist is a neocon, neoliberal rag that runs cover for the right wing junta ruling Japan masquerading as a democratically elected party by running with the feeble excuse that demographics is the reason for 30 years of constant economic failure.

4. Maybe a foreigner should off a prime minister the next time someone kidnaps one of our kids.

5. My understanding from talking to Japanese friends is something additional to what is stated here. They said it’s shameful that this cult was supported by the LDP but is actively supporting North Korea which is lobbing missiles over japan. Assuming that’s all true it means LDP was supporting a threat to National security.

   That’s a different level than getting money from gullible older people. But not sure details but that’s sorta the Japanese perspective it seems.

6. Be the change you want to see I guess…

7. So did Abe. He is getting more of his talking points pushed through in death than he did while alive.

   Japanese military 2 electric bogaloo here we come!

8. Shinzo abe was scum but murder is seldom justified

9. If only he had waited a few more days until after the election to give the opposition the chance to win a few more seats here and there (not like LDP was gonna lose), or had done the deed a few months earlier to actually affect the election in a more positive way once the LDP’s Mooney problem was brought to light.

   Either way, Abe’s gone so it’s a win.

10. 史上最悪のジップガン
