“This isn’t the time to be drinking and having fun as the sakura blooms!
It’s not the time for hanami. We should share the pain of our fellow countrymen out of solidarity.
During the Second World War, everyone held themselves in check and bore the hardships.
We may have lost the war, but the solidarity of the Japanese of that era was truly beautiful.â€
What a dick bag.
What is Japan without Hanami? Would the victims want you to give up a national tradition to mourn about the losses?
I mean, its understandable to say "instead of Hanami, why don't everyone go help out at the effected areas?" but no. Its just "don't have fun by yourself!"
It also almost sounds as if Ishihara is bitter about Japan losing in WW2. Doesn't seem to understand that mass genocide was wrong. The Germans seem to have taken the lesson to heart, why doesn't Ishihara?
Screw that. If I had the money to do so, I would personally fly over to Japan, sit under a cherry blossom in front of Ishihara's face, and have a bottle of sake.
He wants Japan to return to a totalitarian fascist era. Its pretty obvious considered how much he hates all things "new", wants to control what you see on the internet, and bans just about anything he doesn't like.
Hypocrite Statement Counter: OVER NINETHOUSAND
How many times has this guy contradicted himself? Wasn't he the one who said "The earthquake is divine retribution against the Japanese for being corrupt"? I swear they shouldn't let people over the age of 60 vote, since that seems to be the majority of the population in Japan and they all happen to be conservative sore losers from the WW2 era.
"Ishihara wants to bring Japan back to the former glory of the imperial fascist rule? VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE"
While all the otakus who keep whining about how terrible this guy is won't actually vote against him because that would entail leaving the ****ing house.
