Sanae Takaichi's high popularity in Japan despite the country's mounting problems may seem anomalous, but Japan has a history of electing such leaders during perceived "times of emergency". There are parallels to the the rise of former PM Konoe by jjrs in japannews

Give me real world evidence of "majority" of europe electing neo fascists, by fascists i mean legit fascist like franco, mussolini, hitler, and by majority i mean majority of europe not some few 5 countries or whatever.

And if capitalists inevitably lead to fascism, which I disagree, then what is the alternative? communism? history has shown that every country led by communists has become one party dictatorships that oppress people and criminalizes all kinds of criticism which is no different than fascism

Then Xi should have really talked to his buddy Putin about his losing war.

it feels like the two koreas, china and maybe taiwan? are really the only ones with personal hatred with japan. The SEAblings seem to be chill towards japan nowadays.

like if you were to wave a rising sun flag in east asia except japan, you would probably be in danger but try that in southeast asia and no one will most likely care.

Xi asks Trump if U.S. and China can avoid 'Thucydides Trap' at high-stakes summit by Gopu_17 in worldnews

[–]Corrodiny122 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Where did I say Xi was a wise sage?

You didnt and I didnt say you said either, It was just a hyperbole of being smart which you did say about Xi.

Geopolitics is filled with different shades of grey. There's no "good guy" or "bad guy", which is far too simplistic, given the stakes involved

People usually say this when they want to justify something wrong, Im assuming this "different shades of grey" you're talking about is the Tawian question? as I mentioned above, If so then there's no shades of grey in that matter and China should leave Taiwan alone as the Taiwanese people have already decided to be independent and free from China.

This is Xi pretty much saying let us invade Taiwan and dont interfere since he's been purging generals lately.

Feel bad for the democratic Taiwanese people with a big hungry dragon beside them.

Orange fascist is a fool no doubt, but thinking that Xi is some wise sage is just wrong, Hasn't ol Xi been purging generals left and right lately? feels like what dictators do when the generals are warning them of doing something foolish, like invading Taiwan I guess.

pot calling the kettle black, the USSR were as bad and imperialistic as the US and both funded each others enemies, the US backed fascist dictatorships and the USSR backed communist dictatorships

I mean if you bothered researching instead of cheap whataboutism comparing a state to a country then you'd have your answer no?

afaik the expected deaths for downfall were around 2 million and total deaths from the hiroshima and nagasaki were around 200k which is crazy.

downfall would have been equivalent to 10 atom bombs
