    Fucking finally holy shit! Fuck the Moonies, fuck the LDP, and especially fuck Abe-san for being such a fascist. May his spirit wander Tokyo restlessly forever

    Most successful assassin in modern history, maybe all of history?

    He killed Abe for his UC ties, and a short few years later, no more Japanese UC.

    Has any other politically motivated assassination so directly, and spectacularly, achieved it’s aims?

    Wait what? Japan’s prime minister was assassinated? Why am I only hearing about this now?

      Imagine assassinating a head of state and the government listens to your grievances and addresses the problems that led to the assassination.

      …must be nice

        As someone who, for the last decade, has worked for Japanese companies - and by extension, many Japanese people - this sounds very Japanese.

          dude what

          The politicians represent you in a representative democracy, the whole point of their office is to be open to persuasion. I would be looking at that group’s effective network building and asking where are the groups representing my concerns/aspirations with such effectiveness

          I hope all aussies don’t share your mindset, otherwise it’s a lost country

      Because 1) he was no longer PM when it happened, but more importantly, 2) powerful people don’t want you getting the idea that political violence can be righteous
