1. The left have never liked Abe, and the right are furious with LDP’s affiliation with the Unified Church (which they always knew but never wanted to face), together with a weak leader small wonder why there’s so much opposition

2. So…elections again soon?

3. Why would the longest serving PM not deserve a state funeral lol

4. They could at least save on the coffin lining by using Abenomasks.

5. Sure, some people didn’t like Abe. But it seems to me there’s more of an annoyance at Kishida having stepped out of line so ‘Well we can’t have that, better all object, hey?’ attitude. The whole conversation is tasteless. He was assassinated in the street ffs.

6. Hehe pp

7. Could anyone explain why PM Kishida want to hold a state funeral? I want to know the real reason about that.

8. That’s fucked up…

9. State funeral is paid for by tax payers’ money.That’s most politically disengaged folks are pissed off about.

10. Seems reasonable for a recently long serving prime minister, who was assassinated, to have a state funeral
