talked to some Japanese right wingers and they aren't that concerned, they're taking a wait and see approach. Best scenario is he's just saying words to appease their independents and gain support, which is fairly likely but something does need to change since they've been in a recession since the 90s bubble burst. They've never been true capitalists though, always a planned with free market aspects economy.
You're assuming they're a capitalist nation, even economics is tied to social cohesion and hierarchy, they're Institutionalists mixed with Keynesianism. 96% of their corporations are tied to old samurai clans that haven't existed in 200 years.
The Japanese equivalent of "Just ignore them, guys. They'll go away."
I remember that being echoed in just about every community back in 2014 or so when that was paraded around in the Western entertainment sphere, and look where we are now.
Pretty much, the difference is that when the right there makes a fuss the politicians listen. Cultural values are making globalism slow as molasses there. Even their globalists can't shake the 'we are Japanese' aspects of their personality.

Exactly right! I was about to post the same thing, though it's not much of a silver lining. Especially since the bubble, they've been protectionist with special privileges given to zaibatsu and giant corporations too big to fail. Japanese typically don't want to run their own business. Everything is top down and consolidated. This is why they can never be as competitive as they once were. (unless they win by default when the entire western world cucks out) Even if the nationalists were to rise up, they wouldn't treat the economy much differently. We would only have a reprieve on the woke social issues.
Exactly. There's a reason they have the biggest commie party outside of China and NK, even if no one takes it seriously and they only have 11 of around 400 seats. Social cohesion, thinking of those around you and doing what's best for the group is part of their culture since the beginning. They aren't really capitalists and more Keynesian mixed with Institutionalism. Hell most of their big name companies are tied to the samurai era.

That worked out so well for Europe and the US.
Maybe tell them the slippery slope is very real.

Complying to appease people is still complying
So....No politicians are trustable.
They are part of the G7 after all.
