in japan, assassination is a legitimate form of political protest
Traditional Japanese forms of protest:
- Kill others
- Kill yourself
The title of this post is disturbing.
Y’all up in here bitchin like you weren’t just giggling bout that guillotining billionaires meme
The thing that makes gallows humour gallows humour and not violence is the humour part. There is a huge difference between joking about guillotines and actually using them
Yeah, the difference is actually getting results.
Can someone link to this story. What am I missing?
Yagami Tetsuya assassinated Abe Shinzo, former PM of Japan, while he was drumming up support for a candidate from his party. The motive was his mother draining the family savings account to donate to a Christian cult known as the Unification Church, aka Moonies. He actually wanted to kill the Moonie leadership but deemed it unrealistic, so he went after Abe who had ties to the cult. After the assassination, it came out that a lot of Japanese leadership had ties to the cult and there was a bit of a witch-hunt.
