Ghost in the Shell season 2 is real now?
Wait, was that one event referenced in that season an actual historical event?
>Drip by drip, the public learned for the first time that the ruling Liberal Democratic Party had maintained an informal political alliance with the Unification Church, and that Yamagami had correctly identified Shinzo Abe as standing at the pinnacle of the relationship as far as Japan’s government was concerned
This guy opened the article with how Abe was "far right" and other similar such nonsense. Says him and his buddies are with the Liberal Democratic Party, then he goes right back to saying Abe's right wing, and saying "how could the right possibly justify their connections with this predatory group?". Wikipedo says the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan is conservative. The liberal party is conservative? Is this really true? Or is this just western hard leftists calling anything right of Mao "literally Nazis", since Japan is overall conservative?
