Outside a train station near Tokyo, hundreds of people cheer as Sohei Kamiya, head of the surging nationalist party Sanseito, criticizes Japan’s rapidly growing foreign population.
As opponents, separated by uniformed police and bodyguards, accuse him of racism, Kamiya shouts back, saying he is only talking common sense.
Sanseito, while still a minor party, made big gains in July’s parliamentary election, and Kamiya’s “Japanese First” platform of anti-globalism, anti-immigration and anti-liberalism is gaining broader traction ahead of a ruling party vote Saturday that will choose the likely next prime minister.
I was comparing the racist japanese candidate with the trump clown show
Yes, that’s how these things manifest. I don’t disagree. When I said “this post”, I didn’t mean yours, but the post in general, with all the replies. Some are saying the Japanese hate children, or they wouldn’t go there anymore because of the anti-foreigner stance, or that everyone is overworked.
It’s social media, if you get a half assed knee jerk reaction you got lucky… there are no intelligent discussions going on here
