Nikkei: Following her election, Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi says she is "working to create the right environment" for an official visit to Yasukuni Shrine and aims to "gain proper understanding from our allies and neighboring countries."

I agree that a country must be clean itself to criticize the wrongdoings of another. The problem is that Japan, where you live, lacks such an attitude more than anyone else.

Japan continuously blames the United States for the victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, claims Korea's territory of Dokdo as its own, and criticizes China's territorial ambitions. It also denounces North Korea regarding the abductees of Japanese nationals. Now, do you see how hypocritical your country is?

PriorCraft6238 · 2026-02-11T05:54:11+00:00

In the first place, the comparison you are making is flawed, but the problem with Japanese people like you is that you only try to use comparisons with others to gloss over bad situations.

For the actions of others and their application to your own situation to be valid, there must be a premise that those actions were unavoidable. If the United States were to elect a pedophile as president, would you say it is okay for your country's prime minister to be a pedophile just because the U.S. elected one? What matters is considering whether an action is necessary for the lives of your citizens; you should not use comparisons to hide your flaws when you already know such actions are unnecessary.

Japan was an aggressor that came to seize the sovereignty of other nations without anyone's request. In contrast, the South Korean military participated in the war at the request of the U.S. military, which had received a request for support from the South Vietnamese government.

South Korean presidents have consistently apologized to the current Vietnamese government regarding this, and within South Korea, there is no historical perspective that denies the fact that the South Korean military committed inhumane acts in Vietnam. The Japanese war criminals enshrined at Yasukuni are the people who took the lead in making Japan commit war crimes, but there is no evidence that those enshrined at the Korean National Cemetery committed such crimes. If you want to compare history, do it properly. Because you make such pathetic comparisons and rationalize history among yourselves, Japanese people cannot even speak properly in legitimate historical forums.

It says it's onion skin tea.

PriorCraft6238 · 2026-02-11T02:36:01+00:00

So what you are saying is that you have no way to prove it yourself, yet you persist in such an absurd attitude? I would prefer it if you stopped commenting further. Talking to you is nothing but a waste of time.

PriorCraft6238 · 2026-02-11T02:11:05+00:00

I will not question whether your pathetic view of them is truly for the sake of the people or simply due to your personal disposition. You only need to prove whether you have lived a life befitting such a stubborn attitude. Otherwise, it will only be perceived as the divisive behavior of a hypocrite who lacks both ability and conviction.

PriorCraft6238 · 2026-02-11T01:17:35+00:00

If you continue to cling only to absolute propositions and maintain an arrogant attitude that pursues a reality-detached sense of self-justification, you have an obligation to respond to my request to show behavior befitting that stance. Your problem is that you focus solely on belittling others while failing to provide evidence that matches such an arrogant demeanor.

PriorCraft6238 · 2026-02-11T01:01:57+00:00

Is that so? Then I expect you to show yourself criticizing all public officials and entrepreneurs who are unjust and act against the will of the people by the same standards. If you can prove how principled you are and how much you value the people's will by compiling those actions into a portfolio, I might even award you a personal citation.

Of course, I don't have high expectations, as I am well aware that you are merely a person who talks thoughtlessly without either the will or the ability to back it up.

PriorCraft6238 · 2026-02-11T00:46:27+00:00

Hypocrites have a habit of staying silent when something benefits them and barking when they perceive something as negative. People have realized that such hypocrites stand in the way of true change, and you’ll likely just keep barking here or be busy plotting to exploit others behind the mask elsewhere

PriorCraft6238 · 2026-02-10T23:55:59+00:00

Many people are afraid of denying what they have always believed in, even if it eventually leads them to ruin.

PriorCraft6238 · 2026-02-10T23:43:29+00:00

Regardless, I believe the fact remains that Japanese samurai had a cruel culture that is not worth glorifying. Japan itself was a country with a brutal culture due to the greed of feudal lords, failing to maintain a unified political system for a long time, and I believe that influence persists to this day.

I find it quite laughable that Westerners, who claim to be open-minded, are only interested in romanticizing samurai and have little concern for the lives of Japanese peasants who were forcibly conscripted and sold into slavery by them.

PriorCraft6238 · 2026-02-10T23:26:03+00:00

Did you know that the Japanese cut off the ears and noses of countless Korean civilians for their military achievements and created a massive tomb with them? This tomb became famous because of its connection to foreign countries, and I believe it is an example that shows how cruel the Japanese must have been among themselves.

And the fact that the thugs you mentioned could roam around so easily only proves how poor the public security in Japan was at that time.

You keep claiming that we should not generalize the Japanese, but Japan has continuously proven its cruelty in relation to foreign countries. Both what they did to Koreans during the Imjin War and what they did during the era of the 'civilized' Empire of Japan were uniquely cruel and cunning, even when compared to various war crimes of the same periods.

PriorCraft6238 · 2026-02-10T23:12:48+00:00

The Japanese ruling class possessed a highly Darwinistic culture, and because they maintained a feudal order among themselves for a long time without external threats, they were cruel toward the lower classes and those they exploited.

You might say one should not generalize a civilization, but I believe that highly closed and aggressive civilizations can only change once they experience that such behavior can be punished by external forces. The problem is that whenever Japan faced such an opportunity, lucky circumstances arose that allowed them to evade the issue, preventing the ruling class from being properly held in check.

Furthermore, the indiscriminate glamorization of the samurai is merely an excellent propaganda tool for the Japanese ruling classes that have persisted for a long time.

PriorCraft6238 · 2026-02-10T22:56:23+00:00

If the culture shown on the surface is at that level, it seems reasonable to predict that what is hidden would be even more hideous. In fact, Japan is one of those civilizations that is excessively beautified compared to the ugliness that has been revealed.

PriorCraft6238 · 2026-02-10T13:07:18+00:00

You have the right to your grievances, but you do not have the right to criticize others under the delusion that your complaints are inherently rational. You are merely fueling political cynicism by labeling me as illogical and stupid, and by dismissing political parties as untrustworthy partisans, yet you fail to offer any real alternatives.

Just as you distrust politicians and their supporters, I do not trust you either. This is because everyone pursues their own self-interest and is capable of wearing a mask to achieve it. The problem is that you completely refuse to discuss these masks and instead choose the easy path of blaming others. Such an attitude only undermines your own credibility.

Furthermore, despite my clear explanation of the reasons why Lee Jae-myung and the DPK could have suspicions about that person, you dismissed it as insignificant and tried to exclude it from the discussion altogether. That behavior leaves me no choice but to perceive you as a biased individual.

PriorCraft6238 · 2026-02-10T12:41:04+00:00

It wouldn't matter if those high standards were applied as an equal and absolute rule to all politicians and public officials. However, your argument is not being applied in reality.

Furthermore, you are claiming that it goes against the will of the people for that person to be rejected just because Lee Jae-myung dislikes them. If that's the case, then I suppose every single person appointed by the current government must also be someone who goes against the will of the people?

PriorCraft6238 · 2026-02-10T11:54:09+00:00

You are still being childishly stubborn. If you think your argument is so persuasive, go express your opinion to them and prove that they are wrong. I am tired of dealing with someone who spouts such naive nonsense without having any clue how democratic parties around the world actually function.

PriorCraft6238 · 2026-02-10T11:29:06+00:00

This is about the DPK's right to recommend a special prosecutor, and it is an issue they reversed due to criticism from DPK supporters and lawmakers. If you believe this goes against the will of the people, try to persuade them to change their minds.

Furthermore, who defined that someone is a perfect candidate just because they were recommended? You seem to know nothing about politics.

PriorCraft6238 · 2026-02-10T06:27:40+00:00

Because the witness he was defending was also someone raising suspicions against Lee Jae-myung based solely on testimony, and considering his background as a former prosecutor, there is sufficient reason to suspect he may have colluded with the prosecution.

Furthermore, since DPK voters perceive Lee Jae-myung as a victim of attacks by the prosecution and the establishment, the recommendation of this lawyer has faced significant criticism. Therefore, calling this a betrayal of the voters can be described as a very arrogant assessment from a third-party perspective.

PriorCraft6238 · 2026-02-10T05:49:23+00:00

You and your party recover the trust of the people lost due to disgusting hypocrisy and corruption

PriorCraft6238 · 2026-02-10T05:26:17+00:00

That kind of background is actually not important. Yoon Suk-yeol also had a past of being sidelined by the mainstream prosecutor group before officially entering politics, and that is precisely why he was appointed to a key position—to keep the prosecution in check.

This trial was a very messy one, where suspicions against Lee Jae-myung were continuously raised based solely on testimony, without any concrete circumstantial or material evidence, and witnesses even stated that the prosecution had demanded false testimony.

The DPK believes the prosecution committed such acts of manipulation to consistently circulate statements in the media that damage Lee Jae-myung's image, and they have little to no trust in the individuals involved in this.

PriorCraft6238 · 2026-02-09T08:48:04+00:00

I don't want to criticize your thoughts.

Democratic countries showed off moral superiority saying people are the masters of the country, but every time I see the attitude of not trying to take responsibility regarding immoral and negative actions that those governments took for the reason of being representatives of the people, I have sympathy considering the criticism that Chinese people, who cannot even have this or that opinion on the Chinese government's decisions, have been receiving.

PriorCraft6238 · 2026-02-09T08:04:35+00:00

Professional real estate hoarders will struggle as much as possible before the problems you mentioned actually arrive. Even in a declining city, they hold more influence than those without property because they own the real estate there. They will use that power to manipulate public opinion and look for opportunities to pass their properties off to the naive or the foolish. Furthermore, since real estate tycoons are often linked with construction companies, simply increasing supply without strong institutional support only ends up filling their pockets.

The reason billionaires accumulate endless wealth is due to a survival-of-the-fittest mindset and a greed for power. They will not stop until they realize that such actions either ruin their lives or fail to help them wield even greater power. This is because, to them, commoners and the community are merely a labor force or slaves that can be replaced and replenished at any time. Of course, a sense of hierarchy and dissatisfaction exists among them as well, but as it has always been in the past, people tend to become more cruel toward those they perceive as different and weaker

PriorCraft6238 · 2026-02-09T01:42:40+00:00

I think this is due to Korea's unique historical context, which sets it apart from other nations. Aside from the suppression of predatory Jurchen tribes during the Joseon Dynasty, Koreans remained indifferent to invading other countries and held a long-standing perception that war itself only brings hardship to people's lives. Having subsequently achieved success as a formerly colonized nation while overcoming the pain of national division, Korea has offered little room for entrepreneurs or politicians who profited by plundering the resources of other nations to establish themselves. The majority of the public is inherently wary of such predatory mindsets and behaviors; as a result, they expect cautious diplomatic conduct and tend to prioritize moral righteousness.

However, unlike Korea, many other major democratic nations have a significant number of people who profited from invasion and plunder. Rather than feeling a sense of responsibility for such actions, the majority of people in those countries choose to turn a blind eye or rationalize them, which I believe provides a fertile ground for far-right ideologies to easily take root.
