The fuck is wrong with Japan?
I know they don't have a real democracy but I'm pretty sure Abe being kirk'd in broad daylight and no one giving a shit about him says something about what the people there actually want
I have family in Japan and the entire reason they moved there was because they wanted to live in a country that absolutely nobody will bother them with politics. Tells you both a lot about them and also a lot about Japan that they absolutely love it there and never want to leave.
i may be off base here but iirc a lot of that was because of the backlash against the fact that a korean-based cult had so much influence on japanese politics, and japanese nationalists are pretty rabid in their hatred for korea (and china ofc), not that there was broad popular disapproval for the LDP in general
According to recent polls from Kyodo News, 69.9% of the Japanese public still support Sanae Takaichi. According to Yomiuri Shimbun, this is actually HIGHER than the approval rate that Shinzo Abe had one month after his first term as PM. Furthermore, 60.4% of the Japanese public support expansion of the military, and 48.8% support βcollective self-defenseβ in the event of a cross-Taiwan strait conflict (44.2% oppose it).
If anything, the Japanese government broadly reflects exactly what the people there want.
The new japanese chud-in-chief has decided to demonstrate that Japan wasn't paying attention last time they were taught a lesson.
And then there is Germany who wants Ukraine to do their Operation Barbarossa 2
honestly, I was about to post that, seemingly, fascist countries simply don't learn their lesson, and they get back up to their old tricks quickly.
but that makes me uncomfortable considering the implications. What do we do with countries that have fallen to fascism?
I've been dedicating a lot of time to that lately. My response is going to be: let them learn their lessons by themselves. By this, I mean, China is poised to be the next global hegemon (if we can't consider it to be already given its industrial base). Essentially: once socialism is global hegemon, keep rogue fascist countries unindustrialized, demilitarized and sanctioned up and down. Estonia, Finland and Poland want to go full fascist and cry about communism? Cool, let them. Fascism will eat them inside out, they'll never be able to catch up to communists economically if they remain in fascism, and seeing the grass being greener on the other side, they'll do the communism themselves.
There's an idea I've heard people spread about a 100 year or so repeating cycle of authoritarianism/fascism. Capitalism will inevitably lead to fascism. If no progress is made towards advancing socialism, anything that is done to overcoming fascism is merely slapping a bandage on an infected wound.
What do we do? Resist by whatever means we can and organize the working class. Every step towards that goal, no matter how small, chips away at it. Fascism is doomed to fail. We just need to help it along.
What do we do with countries that have fallen to fascism?
Don't put other fascists 
in charge of the rebuilding project
You get rid of the rot. You get rid of the people (from the positions, not execution), the political structures, and capitalism, to rid the country of fascism and the potential of reinfection.

Japan losing the Imjin War
Japan losing the Second Sino-Japanese War
Japanese fascist: Let's start another war with China. The First Sino-Japanese War wasn't a fluke. We will surely win this time.
Xi should blow it the fuck up. We don't need Japanese fascism again.
Xi, take my energy. 
WTF is going on between Japan and China
Japan has a new fascist PM
They want Third Sino-Japanese war
Every once in a while the fascists get an itch to be humiliated in war yet again.
Who is jealous of Zelensky's golden toilet and wants in on that grift
You see in the early Seventh Century the Japanese Prince Shotoku Visited Sui China.....
the US wants to get a war going before China pulls too far ahead in every way, but in typical fashion the US does it through a proxy
China tried to warn Japan....
"Those who play with fire will perish by it."
Imagine declaring war on China while the Mandate of Heaven is active lmao
Not even Temujin was bold enough to do that and he had the finest army and supply chain the world would ever witness until the Napoleonic era
If its anything like Ukraine, prepare for forty billion newly minted liberal war experts to immediately purchase rising sun bandanas
Leave it to liberals to side with the Axis forces of WW2. 
I've seen some mfs call it "classic japan flag" we are definitely getting another wave of Banderite apologia but with japan
It does predate Japan's colonialism and involvement in WWII....but that's not saying much when they were living under a rigid caste system with an absolute monarch. Oh and that dynasty was also still in charge during WWII. Afterwards, but also before. Uhh...someone tell about the history of the swastika next and how it totally isn't the same or something?
Alright. Good luck with that.
ghibli style ai generated pro-war movie
pretty sure there is a legal imperative in the UN charter for China to do something about this.
..is that Sam serious?
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Seems more like Japan's gone Mental more than anything.
It was nice knowing everyone.
Pointless gesture. This is just nationalists doing nationalist crowd riling things.
βThe deployment can help lower the chance of an armed attack on our country,β Shinjiro Koizumi told reporters on Sunday as he wrapped up his first trip to the base on the southern Japanese island of Yonaguni. βThe view that it will heighten regional tensions is not accurate.β
If I were facing this almost insurmountable problem I'd probably launch missiles at it before flying the bombers over. In fact I'd probably launch missiles at it for target practice. What's Japan going to do, escalate? lol
