Japan has also seen its first female prime minister. Delightfully (sarcastically), she is an extreme right-wing politician who despises LGBTQ+ people, reinforces patriarchy, lines her own pockets with slush funds, and pushes xenophobia. Immediately after taking office, she has been talking about bills that restrict citizens' freedoms, such as relaxing the Labour Standards Act and introducing a crime for desecrating the national flag. It's utterly hellish, isn't it? I wish the state would just disappear. No borders, all mankind brothers. #cafe #reading

Personally, I don't find the appearance particularly... That aside, Japan faces numerous problems. First is the misconception that Japan is a single-ethnic nation. This ignores the Ryukyuan and Ainu minorities, as well as naturalised citizens of Korean and Chinese descent. Fundamentally, there is a lack of respect for other ethnicities and cultures. Moreover, having achieved rapid economic growth after the war without reflecting on its invasions of Asia during the world wars, Japan has developed an inflated sense of self-importance, acting as if it were Asia's leader. It looks down on other Asian peoples. It probably fancies itself as America's 51st state or something. With American backing, they'd likely arm themselves with nuclear weapons and seek war at any moment. They don't perceive war as inherently wrong. Their logic is that losing is bad, while winning is good. Military expansion makes perfect sense to them.
