I've seen a lot of proof over the years that a ton of those photographs that you see of shit like babies being ran hanging impaled from rifle bayonets were doctored. This is similar to a lot of photographs from concentration camps during the Holocaust. I thought I had some of that information saved in archives but haven't been able to locate it.
If there's one thing that I've learned from the time spent in the Holocaust thread on this site, it's that you can present all kinds of evidence supporting your argument but people will refuse to budge from their original position.
Go on and believe whatever the fuck you want to believe. I'm not letting this thread get derailed by shit that allegedly happened 80 years ago. Chinks and Gooks aren't even human so they can all fuck off to Hell for all I care.
In more pertinent news, Sohei Kamiya the leader of the Sanseito party has writted an open letter to Musk asking for action over the bans of prominent right wing Japanese X accounts. It'll be interesting to see how things develop, given that Sanseito is the only reasonable party out there.

The legend, Sohei Kamiya, used a slur against gooks in the Japanese language which is apparently "chon" during a speech. This of course spurred on gook pieces of shit in Japan to send letters of condemnation to the Sanseito.
It's going to be interesting to see how these elections go. It's great to see that parties like Sanseito are gaining a lot of traction among the general public. It's fucking insane to think that a party which is openly "Japanese first" is getting so much aggro.
All gook chon pieces of shit can get the rope. Sanseito all the way.

Well, the LDP is set to lose their upper house majority for the first time in 70 years.
Sanseito also appears to be one of the big winners this time round:
Right-wing Sanseito appears to have shaken up this election, and could win more than 20 seats in the chamber. It had just two before today's election.
Sanseito candidate Saya, who was elected in the Tokyo constituency, talked on TV about why she thought her party had been successful.
"I think us maintaining the 'Japanese First' policy and advocating for the gradual abolition of the consumption tax resonated with voters who are struggling as wage increases stagnate and the cost of living rises."
Another interesting observation from political commentators:
"A lot of the younger voters seem to like the Sanseito platform. Maybe because their social media game is better, but I think the large part was that there's a sense that the economy, especially for the younger generations, is not really doing well for them. I think they see that foreign tourists and also immigrants, maybe are having a better life than them."
Yeah I know, all politics is a grift and nothing ever happens, but this still gives me a glimmer of hope for that beautiful country.

Damn I had no idea he was this based. Calling out kikes is always the threshold that I look at in terms of how much bravery someone is showing.
So by the latest estimates, it appears that Sanseito is at 15 seats and the Conservative Party of Japan (another extremely based party) has 2 seats for a total of 17 seats.
In somewhat sour news, that chink nigger bitch Renho apparently won a seat. Fuck that disgusting bitch.
17 seats for super based motherfuckers in the Upper House ? Can you imagine the kind of language that they'll be using when talking about "migrants" and other nigger scum ? Fucking gorgeous.

A Tokyo sushi chef stabs his colleague to death in a burst of outrage. / Archive
How often do these crimes happen in Nipponland? Is it actually more common there, and the media chooses not to report about it? Is it because Japan is trying to keep a facade of being "calm and collected" while their neighbor Chinks and Gooks have more murder incidents that are more graphic, i.e. the Korean father that sang Happy Birthday for his son, and then grabs a homemade gun and shoots his son to death? / Archive

Often. The myth that Japan has basically no crime is pure insanity and bullshit. For example You will regularily read news about people killing their elderly parents and stabbings are also common.
Not so fun fact: Crossbows have been banned in Japan because several murders happened with them as murder weapon.

Are those elder killings supposed to be the ultimate way to say "Fuck you mom/dad?" Or do they do it for reasons such as the elder being a "financial burden"?
And it's interesting that the opposite is becoming a trend in Worst Korea, where parents kill their spouse and their children, and then kill themselves:

Experts blame cultural mindset of parent-child link as key cause
In May, Ji, 49, whose full name has not been disclosed, traveled with his family to South Jeolla Province. After dinner, he and his wife gave their two sons...

Significantly less often than in countries that flooded themselves with an unregulated torrent of 3rd-world criminals.

opportunistic violence from strangers is still a couple magnitudes rarer than the united states. Crime stats in Japan are as unreliable as any other country, but crimes that leave a corpse are harder to conceal. Westerners dont believe it until they visit, but there are no "dangerous" areas anywhere in Japan.*
Also, Japan's infamous conviction rate is caused by poor incentives for low level police to prosecute small crime that needs a lot of investigation and evidence like wifebeating and wire fraud, as opposed to some kind of systemic coverup of violent organized crime like a certain other island nation. The cops only move when they feel compelled to, so low level johnny somali type antisocial persons can terrorize the public for months before being put into the system as long as they dont physically hurt anyone, but when they get sent there, the sentences are long.

The most notorious example of a "poverty striken crime ridden slum", Nishinari-ku in Osaka is cleaner and safer than virtually every major US city. Even the alcoholic bums that sleep under the rail bridge are nice. Japan is safe because stabby schizos are sent to pillow rooms, violence isn't tolerated and gangs have been totally buck broken, not because of any specific racial or cultural trait. Every once in a while someone snaps and does a spree killing but objectively, things are a lot better than they used to be

Double posting but I've talked to sanseito supporters on the street and a lot of them seem to be politically clueless single issue or first time voters that are big into alternative health stuff like magnets and cancer cure conspiracies rather than actual race awareness or anti immigrant sentiment. I was confused by this because the official platform doesn't overtly mention anything particularly kooky but they are a large part of the older support base due to some early history. I had thr pleasure of interacting with some more reasonable guys though. Sanseito is a weirdly diverse party of pragmatist right wingers who are only in it to pressure jiminto (LDP ruling party) rightward, actual crazy people, and people who are rightfully angry about foreign capital driving up the cost of living. I can't compare it to MAGA because there isn't that much loyalty to leadership or agreement on what actually needs to be done.
My opinion is that it doesn't seem like a party that exists to do anything other than to pressure the ruling coalition into adopting the least radical policies as compromise. There isn't a coherent ideology and leadership is shady but the ruling coalition is in such a bad state that they'll have to concede somewhere.
As for the other far right wing party, hoshuto (the conservative party of japan), these guys have done nothing but be a pressure valve for the most retarded elements of the internet right. like most minor parties, they are not regarded as serious people. They are allowed to exist because they are clowns.
In japanese politics the upper house has a lot less power than the lower house. all they really do is review legislation and veto stuff so its common for the upper house to be fragmented while the lower house to be majority controlled. The real test for jiminto is if they can survive the lower house elections in 2028. If they can't, it's going to be chaos for sure. Japan isn't really built to operate without a majority party and nobody in opposition is actually prepared to take responsibility. Jiminto collapse means a leftward shift, so right infighting is going to bring them all down if they dont get their shit together. That means ejecting Ishiba for someone more establishment like Takaichi, even if they keep all his policy.
Edit: I forgot to mention but the biggest winner of the election was the most boring one that nobody talks about: Kokumin minshuto (democratic party for the people). These guys are basically jiminto defectors who got pissed off by the corruption scandals but generally follow the same center right pattern so they're the most palatable opposition party for centrists. In theory they should fall in line if it means preventing leftist coalition but i'm genuinely unsure what they even want in exchange for coalition or if they even know what they want.
tl;dr for july elections: ruling center right party is fragmenting, left wing stays mildly unpopular as ever, nobody is in charge, nobody has any plans, loud and "based" fringe party will probably fall apart once the smart people in it realize they're going to lose power to leftists if they don't get in majority in 2028. parliamentary politics ensures Nothing Ever Happens in a country where Nothing has Ever Happened since 1988

Any suggestions of stuff to do on a Japan vacation? Keep in mind I’m married so no weird shit. We’re landing in Tokyo and we’ll spend a few days there before heading north.

I hate Japan and the fact they soft powered the entire world. Everywhere you look there's thousands of instantiations of their shitty culture. Thankfully they suicide a lot and don't breed enough, so they will be wiped out from the face of Earth eventually.

So kinda like how retard YouTube Gainjinn say 'they don't have guns in Japan!' But my friend from Japan's uncle actively hunts and has a few good rifles. Am I wrong?
In his area, deer hunting is common AFAIK

there are almost no civilian guns in japan and there are virtually no gun homicides in japan (under 10 a year)
In fact, there are not enough civilian guns in Japan. The country has problems finding enough hunters willing to deal with dangerous bears because the local governments can't negotiate with the hunters association. population control for deer is also a problem. it takes more than a year to go through the process of owning a gun and it draws a lot of attention from the authorities
edit:
Heres a english article about the problem with hunters in Japan. In 2025 the problem got worse because bear attacks have doubled, and hunters are refusing to take on jobs for insultingly low pay until the government stops treating them like shit.
There's only a couple thousand actual hunters in the country that are equipped to deal with bears, and they are monitored heavily by the police. A hunting license is a very invasive and expensive procedure that has to be renewed every year and not worth it at all unless your livelyhood depends on having a large caliber hunting rifle. Your gun (singular, almost always) can be confiscated at any moment for any reason, and legitimate hunters constantly struggle with having to deal with every municipality's police on a individual level.
Crossbows and even normal bows are also extremely regulated. There was a case a couple years ago where a woman shot her husband with a hunting bow which drew attention to bow crime.

Don’t you just love having a white woman come and tell you how to run your shop in Japan?
Maybe you can celebrate with a Samantha Lassaux festival! Invite the blacks! They’ll be grateful too.

Isn't it "colonialism" or "white imperialism" to impose Western "woke" values?
Before the coof, Japanese usually only wore "face masks" when sick? There is definitely more of a prevalence of masking up since the coof, though not as bad now than during?
(One may be able to see the difference in videos recorded on streets, for example.)

People like this are going to turn Japan isolationist again.
