Yeah the CIA hasn't been known to groom and provide people materials they need to destabilize political forces they don't approve of. Never happened. The idea of it happening is so crazy. They definitely haven't had their grubby fingers in every nation's pie since their inception.

Going to preemptively declare this as 100% glowie shit.

Not just because the guy manages to sneak in and fire something that looks like it came out of Duke Nukem 3D without police or security services noticing or stopping him.

Also because it’s preferable to some rando loser pulling something like this off, and killing one of the good politicians.

  • making the workplace more accessible for women to ease the burden on single earning men
  • Set goals for percentage of women that should be in work forces for companies and in Parliament (his initial goal was 50% by 2020 but then 2020 happened)
Is that a good thing, really? I feel like I can’t escape the narrative that this sort of thing is what is partially dooming (exaggeration maybe) the western world. Double the work force which leads to a halving in the value of labor, then less women having kids which is bad in a country (Japan) already having population issues. Not trying to divert the conversation, I just think it’s interesting this is seen as one of his great accomplishments when in the US especially it’s heavily scrutinised recently.

This isn’t my opinion, I’m reiterating it because I’m curious what the counters are, so maybe if you disagree provide one. I mean it’s a fact the value of labor dropped when women entered the workforce, that’s a serious issue.

Wait.

Japan is cucked because sitting and drinking whiskey all night and buying hookers with your boss and coworkers has reached such epidemic levels, that the government is trying to discretely ban it?

I’d like to hear your definition of a limp wristed, cultural faggotry then.
Bosses are using their position to inflict whiskey dick on their employees, to keep them single so that they don't have a life outside of work.
 
Richard Harris' speech on "why not shoot a president?" in The Unforgiven is unironically based, by the way. Japan is a very authoritarian society. The populace have an autistic level of respect for authority and conformity except for the few schizos willing to assassinate people, but I think even those schizos wouldn't dare go after the emperor. I mean, this guy didn't even kill the CURRENT prime minister, he killed the previous guy. What I'm saying is fuck the US and the gay constitution they pushed on Japan which is not even a third as good as the US' own constitution. Japan should chuck it out of the window. Absolute monarchy would totally work in Japan and I'm not actually convinced that a whole lot of Japanese people even give a fuck about democracy in the first place. They don't have the Shinto beliefs in the emperor being divine anymore, but their blind respect for authority is still strong enough for the emperor to have enough pull. Same opinion on Russia (even moreso, because they still have a fairly large Orthodox Christian "the king is appointed by God" faith and also because they've been ruled by the same guy for a million years now anyway). In an absolute monarchy, there are barely any important politicians to kill. The PM is still important, but in no way can be construed as the leader of the nation. In an authoritarian society, an absolute monarchy is the most stable. Jappos love government-san and would rather seppuku themselves than suffer the dishonour of crossing the road without permission. They are the perfect populace for royal dictatorship and would still be under absolute imperial rule if it weren't for those meddling kids at the Manhattan Project.
Lol you're a fucking retard.
Absolute monarchies (and other forms of autocratic government) can ensure stability for a while. However, their fundamental problem is that they end up promoting technological and economic stagnation, because power is concentrated in a small group of elites that fear creative destruction.

Technological changes threaten the power of the elites. See the industrial revolution, where autocratic monarchist states (such as Russia, Austria, and Qing China) were suspicious of new technologies such as railroads, because they threatened the feudal system that the elite derived their power from. Railroads come in, that means peasants can leave and new ideas can come in, which makes the population harder to control and extract wealth from.

The same dynamic plays out with economic change. Changes in economic conditions (such as industrialization) mean that people other than the elites can generate wealth, and become potential threats to power. A new class of increasingly wealthy entrepreneurs is a threat to the elites.

Together, these factors mean that an autocratic absolute monarchy has very little reason to promote economic or technological growth, in the name of stability. The problem with that is that it eventually dooms the nation to conquest or exploitation from without, and internal upheaval from within. Which makes the very premise of absolute monarchy (stability) irrelevant.

Of course, you could have an intelligent monarch who realizes this and works to promote development within his nation. The problem here is that monarchs are people, and people are mortal. What prevents a total retard whose in the line of succession (such as Wilhelm II or Nicholas II) from getting into power when the competent guy kicks the bucket?

Absolutism is a dead gay ideology, along with communism, multicultural democracy, and fascism.
 
I obviously can't speak about the characteristics of this nigger-rigged gun, but the patterns from most shotguns don't spread anywhere near as quickly as movies and video games have convinced many people of.
you do not want to be anywhere within 100 yards of a guy with a shotgun loaded with 00 buckshot to begin to feel comfortable about falloff, and in most fiction shotguns stop working after about 5 yards. even birdshot is effective to like 15 yards. reduce the range by like 30% for a short barreled shotgun - but people wildly underestimate their effectiveness

Not everything is a glowie gay op, as hard as it is to believe sometimes there's loonies out there who want 5 minutes of fame at any cost, did you see the videos before he got shot? He was out in the open just like that, easy target.
 
I have been trying to get my head around the positions of all of the players involved, at the time of the shooting. The international media is a shitshow of info and pics. The female that you see fall over in the background is an odd one. I think she had her back to everything when shit kicked off and is in a few pics, in various states of fall, whilst a chap, in a suit, is looking at her. Maybe he pushed her over but he doesn't make a move to the incident though, as far as i can tell. Ireckon she is sporting a big ol' bruise on the back of her head, whatever happened.

I wonder if she got hit in the back of a leg by something from the weapon. Maybe off the gaurdrail by Abe? .

Like the outcome of the eventual trial is already obvious. He’s gonna get the death penalty.

The things that are not known are his motives and the effect this will have on Japan going forward.

The last thing anything remotely comparable happened was in 1978 when Aldo Moro, PM of Italy, was kidnapped and murdered by the Red Brigades.
 
Shame, I always thought Shinzo Abe was a good guy. Imagine the hubris of his security to think a former PM could just talk on a street corner without anybody watching his back. It just blows my mind that they would let an unknown person get that close, especially from behind.

Think they just don't worry about getting blasted with homemade blunderbusses considering they shouldn't have guns.

Gotta admit, no one predicted that twist
