An assistant professor at one of the most prestigious universities in the U.S. has said that the “clear solution” to Japan’s aging society is for “mass suicide and mass ‘seppuku’ (ritual disembowelment) of the elderly”.
Actual Japanese here, even within the dark humor context, I wholeheartedly agree with Yusuke Narita.
It’s precisely the gerontocracy in Japan why the nation is heading extremely far right. The aging oppressive population needs to retire, vacate, and leave the younger generation capable of making their choices. We are the lowest GDP first nation because of elders oppressing.
When I read he actually used the word “seppuku”, I immediately knew that it wasn’t just suicide he was talking about. He’s also saying that the oldest generation needs to admit they screwed everything up beyond repair, and answer for it.
The links have other links to sources, so nested sources.
The Sega video has citations on how our economy got dwindled by greedy kusojijii forcing us to work for longer hours and years than they ever did.
I’m too overworked to find you an encapsulating video essay on how spiralled to death our economy got fucked over by our boomers.
Koreans have nothing on how fascistic our society already is.
Yusuke Narita lives in 🇺🇲. The article references folks ICE has abducted that maybe legal Japanese-US citizens, on their way to whichever deathcamp Trump sent these workers to.
People tend to conservadorism as they age, due to cognitive decline and loss of plasticity of the brain. It’s a global phenomenon and usually make them make bad decisions in regards to what’s best for the public or public interest.
That’s why I think there must be age limit to occupy public lidership roles.

Is it 参政党 and their ilk were mostly voted for by the younger crowds whereas the olds stayed with the LDP, at least from the exit polling I saw. I mean, for me personally, the LDP is too far right, but Sanseitou is definitely a lot further off. Some older also split to the DPFTP to show disappointment, but I’m less clear on those numbers.

I’m glad Yusukeさん is in the 🇺🇲, but I’m afraid he’ll be deathcamped soon.
I’m thankful 28 folks read the article correctly. Fuck oppression.
Thanks for the added opinion and context.

What on Earth is with the links.
A link to a Lemmy micro-opinion, a link to a Sega video, and a link to some random article.
