And they said adventurism is bad

Well he does have glasses, maybe he pulled it down to ensure they didn't fog up at a crucial moment

Japan has one of the highest percentages of government disapproval w 80% rate in the population. Even if it's "conservative" or whatever the undeniable fact of the westernn vassalage of the Japanese state is so under discussed

Japanese people are much more aware of their country's relation with the US than most people might think.

Oh yeah for sure. I just thought it was funny that in addition to destroying Shinzo Abe's legacy, he also stopped America from exporting its transphobic propaganda to Japan at the same time.

Literally the same party in charge since WW2

i can't wait for movies about the doohickey

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

I'm waiting for the anime where Yamagami spends three eps charging up the doohickey like a fucking spirit bomb with all the hatred of everyone in Japan for Abe.

Why has it taken me all this time to realise that Shinzo Abe got himself Abe'd?

[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Lincoln getting shot with a the-doohickey is a funny mental image

We need one more step, with Booth replaced with that classic image of Yamagami, I'd do it myself but I don't really care that much

[–] BeamBrain@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago

It worked on Luis Carrero Blanco.

the-doohickey the ultimate weapon in the game, only obtainable after you defeat an obscure optional superboss

Most successful adventurism of all time?

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

What does this actually mean? Will Sewakai members/believers be forced to make their own party outside of LDP? Or is this functionally just going to end up being a rebranding?

What I mean by this is that functionally are all of his faction members staying in the party and therefore just becoming a block that is currently not organised into a faction but will be in the near future when a political issue warrants it? If they all exist in the party and they all share enough of the same politics to be a faction currently then "dissolving" the faction doesn't change anything other than removing Abe's legacy, history, and attachment to anything that has ever existed. They're scrubbing him from history as if he's a shameful taint. But fundamentally it won't affect their politics going forwards and they'll reorganise into a new faction when something happens.

GOOD question
