We don't ignore the genocide in Ukraine because we don't know.

We ignore it because we don't want the responsibility.

Admitting the truth forces a choice: intervene or admit you are letting it happen.

Looking away is just a way to be complicit without feeling guilty

The haters said the Japanese opposition couldn't do it. And they were correct. Honestly, great call by the haters

I can't help but think of conversations I've had with senior CDP folks about how they intend to reach younger voters. Just absolutely crickets.

The most underrated force over the last few years of Japanese politics is generational change. The end of Boomer domination of the society and its politics, people for whom high-growth era was "normal".

Takaichi is riding this wave, but....she is the last boomer standing (1961)
NHK called Iwate-3 for the LDP. Ozawa is out officially.

I think it bears stressing that while the polls were pointing to a big LDP victory, this is shaping up to be even bigger than the most optimistic (for LDP) projections. Which, again, the story is as much the utter failure of the CRA as Takaichi's popularity.

i think it's fairly simple: the opposition just don't know how to reach zoomers

this isn't helped by every left of centre party being lead by old people

The UK: Less than two years into office, is this the end for this Labour Government?

Japan: Okay but what if we try just ONE MORE term of Liberal Democratic Party government? Yes we know we're on our fourth decade of economic stagnation and they've been in charge 90% of that but what's the harm?

LDP supermajority in the lower house, higher results than anything they've achieved in the 20th century
Can I ask what this means for Japan in general as someone totally unfamiliar with their politics?

On a day with so much awfulness just taking a moment to note with admiration a dignified leader
🇲🇩🇺🇦 Moldovan President Sandu said that she is against her nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize, because there are more worthy candidates - Ukrainian prisoners of war.

Sandu emphasized that it is Ukrainians who are truly sacrificing themselves for the sake of peace and security in Ukraine and the EU.

It's funny watching Chomsky get "Stalin-image-airbrushed" out of far-left narratives and spaces right now.
