I'm happy as a Japanese person to see you cover this lol. It's true, Japanese people are way more progressive than the government. Japanese people just have notoriously never voted so only old people who believe right-wing ideologies did. It's slowly changing though, more young people have been voting because of how bad Japan has been economically the last 20 yrs or so. LDP has been in control for a long time and they're definitely more right wing than your average democrat. I would say more similar to 'centrist' USA policies. I'm relieved Takaichi didn't win because she was a right-wing nut job just like Abe Shinzo. I think Ishiba will be really good for economy, social progression, and diplomacy. As well has not being as passive about military matters.
The voting rates are not too much lower for young people, or atleast they didn't used to be. The problem was Japan had elderly super-majorities lockdown total control of the political system decades ago and NOW that compounded with the plummeting birthrates have made it impossible for the young to exert any influence and they have started to give up on voting because they can't change the outcomes.
Him: literally dresses up as a cartoon villlain My brain automatically, without even a single hint of irony: “Oh, that seems good, that’s a good sign! There’s no way he could be that bad of a guy if he’s willing to do something silly like this for fun.”
@@Serious_Face Ah yes, the original Japanese spelling! No, wait, that's 魔人ブウ... Now that I think about it, there aren't any English letters in the original spelling! In all seriousness, people getting anal about the "correct spelling" of anime characters' names is my pettiest of pet peeves. Frieza and Buu weren't spelled with English letters in the first place, so being anal about spelling them as "Freeza" or "Boo" isn't getting you closer to the "original spelling", it's just insisting on an unofficial spelling for the sake of feeling superior (the "Freeza" one is especially bad, since the character い is usually romanized as "i" rather than "ee"' and "Freeza" instead of "Furiza" implies a completely different pronunciation to people familiar with Japanese and romaji -- something more like "Freh-eh-za".)
It’s not at all normal for Japanese to call themselves “Christians.” They also don’t call their “Christian” wedding ceremonies “Christian.” They call them “Western.”
Ishiba is a bit of a mixed bag, but it’s actually really nice to see someone become PM who doesn’t just spew out the same nonsense over and over again. Japan has a huge problem with politicians who just say things that sound nice but mean actually nothing when you look at the statements they make. Watch American Psycho and look at the scene where Patrick Bateman makes his political speech in the famous restaurant. That’s exactly what it’s like, over and over again in Japan. Ishiba is becoming PM with actual policy ideas that if enacted, would radically change Japan. Joint control of military bases in Okinawa, more rights for LGBTQ people, more comprehensive immigration policies, etc… Most importantly “Asian NATO” would go far to protect places like the Philippines and Taiwan from bullying by the PRC.
I love that Japanese politicians are out about their love of anime like the Japanese Ambassador being really into demon Slayers music. The closest thing we get here in America is Obama liking Hip Hop and the less said of Canadians dressing up the better
@@katyungodlyactually, it's because we have this weird you about seniority equals professionalism and therefore you need to be like old-fashioned and blandish shit in order to get any form of authority and it doesn't particularly help them in the United States. All of our politicians are way older than the citizens And are very stuck in their generational periods. Like there are very few 80-year-olds in the United States that like The expanse or anime or things like that
@@katyungodlyI wouldn’t say that lol. For example just out of my head the cowboy stereotype is a very American thing, so it’s the hamburger. The world loves American culture so they imitate a lot of things, so be sure you live it and see its adaptations in other places, you don’t notice that it’s an American thing.
*comments once on Japanese politics* Vaush: “I am now right wing! I am now right wing!” This is a quote taken completely in context. Everyone please take it as seriously as possible.
Ishiba from what I understand is 100% the best outcome as Sanae Takaichi is supposed to be literally Japan's Giorgia Meloni as Takaichi is apart of Abe's far-right faction. Shigeru Ishiba is more closer to the Moderate wing of the party.
Still crazy that only 1 out of the top 3 candidates in this election didn't regularly visit the war crime shrine in Yasukuni. Thankfully he won, but still a bad sign for the nation's politics.
The LDP is a party of nationalists. It has been that way since day one. Unfortunately the Japanese voting system, in the same way as the British one, requires the opposition to move mountains to dethrone the LDP. Even if the LDP never wins the popular vote.
@@davitdavid7165 they're referring to the fact that the other two were even on the ballet after things like that. 2/3rds were bad and the election was NOT an all for the 1/3 landslide.
Agree that the Japanese population is definitely more progressive than their governance would suggest. Also, crucially, this seems to hold true even for some of the major subcultural blocks that we would typically expect to have strong attachments to some sense of tradition. For example: The largest sect of the largest organized religion in the country, Jodo Shinshu (Pure Land) Buddhism, was one of the first schools of Buddhism to perform gay marriage ceremonies. Also, they’ve had trans people to live as monks and study to become ministers for some number of years now. I don’t know if there was ever even any internal debate or discussion about this-I could be mistaken but I’m not aware that there was ever an explicit ban-but the prevailing attitude about it today seems to be "Well yeah, why not?" Obviously can’t map every societal comparison 1-to-1 with so many cultural differences, and I’m pretty sure the average citizen still holds handfuls of weirdly regressive/conservative-ish views, but I think that the general well-being and welfare of others-even if only in the abstract-remains a pretty meaningfully ingrained cultural value that still seems to matter a fair amount to most people there, and I think that always goes a looong way towards predicting which side people will lean towards on emerging, socially "difficult" issues. Source: I have relatives in Japan. (Potential bias: My relatives are very kind.)
He is once again based, because the so-called "political correctness" is completely nonsensical and hypocritical bullshit. There should be plain old *civility* and *human decency,* not "political correctness".
Hes doing a good job at distancing himself from the soy part of the left. I people with this mindset existed in 2016 i wouldve not gone trough my right wing pipeline years. Back then influencers were either hitler or composed of 100% soy
To be honest, as Japanese person, this is what I expected. On one hand, Ishiba did argue for gay rights. On the other hand, he is yet another Nippon Kaigi member. The current trajectory of LDP seems to be going more moderate, including a more pro-immigration stance, pro gay marriage stance and etc. I guess we will see how he leads Japan in the coming years.
Japan is currently projected to continue shadow-dominating the world's pop-culture for the foreseeable future, so - at the very least - I'm glad to see a PM that is more amenable to world interests as opposed to fascism, which Takaichi is a fan of. Also, isn't the Japanese voting system basically all mail-in vote cards that are sent to each, individual citizen? Why the hell is their under-70 response so low?
Japan is not shadow dominating anything other than extremely niche areas (ie sushi and anime). South Korea, Germany, and many others have way more global pop culture influence than Japan. Yes tourism went up in Japan recently due to the weak yen, but again their numbers are nothing compared to France, Italy, or Thailand.
@@noseboop4354eh I disagree. Japan’s metal scene is way bigger than it was before and has gone international in the form of bands like baby metal plus their idol culture has been a thing WAY longer than Korean idol culture.
@@noseboop4354 if you don't understand how Japanese pop culture is the primary influence of _literally all the countries you've listed,_ I don't think you know how cross cultural pollination works.
I think it has something to do with the depoliticizing of Japanese culture after 1960 by the LDP and the US to maintain Japan as an anti-communist bulwark. That edifice has been crumbling for decades, and now it's reaching a breaking point.
@@MrGksarathy I mean, that does make a lot of sense. Even without that, though, any democracy dominated by one political party is going to intentionally suppress voter turnout. I just find it odd because Japanese society is so super collectivist at its core, which would suggest citizens would inherently care/pay attention to - at the very least - their local elections. At the same time, it's entirely possible that the current neoliberal stance of "democracy" is at direct odds with that sort of, shall we call it, "communistic" understanding of their place in society. The "breaking point" that I personally have been monitoring for awhile has been the disconnect between a couple of related factors: the distrust of the out-group and the desire to strengthen the in-group. It can lead to a specific kind of political nihilism unique to Japan, which I think actually makes it one of _the_ best breeding grounds for socialist revolution. Y'know, despite the fact that Japan is by far the most capitalist-minded nation. But I also think it's because of that fact that a lot of Communist ideology is starting to establish itself among the younger generations who are seeing the direct effects of ultra-capitalist policies shaping the destruction of their futures.
It's still very worrying how close we came to having a literal fascist as PM, and I suspect that's a sign of things to come. Ishiba basically got the position solely because of seniority and if Koizumi had been the pick in his place there's a real chance Takaichi would have taken it. It's really, really bad.
South Korean TV was surprisingly positive about Japan sailing a warship through the Taiwan strait the other day. Maybe an Asian Nato that's not led by Washington DC would be best to keep the satus quo.
Worlds ending, and yet there is hope, this hope comes from a silly Japanese man becoming PM Edit: just saw the photos of the Israeli tanks prepping to invade Lebanon, there is no hope, its jover
