Recently in the news Mayor of Osaka city, Hashimoto has been in hot water with the international community. This ex-governor turned mayor claims that "comfort women" during world war 2 were necessary because men need comfort and the women taken from various parts of Asia just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Here he states that it was terrible that women were forced into this, but at the same time it was necessary instead of paying Japanese women for prostitution. That's a huge slap in the face to Japan's neighbors because Japan is still acting like everyone else is inferior and still part of the "Japanese Empire" when in reality Japan is getting owned by almost all of its neighbors. Hashimoto had been working on bridging some gaps internationally, if I recall correctly, but it seems he has taken a sharp turn to blend in with all of the other contemporary politicians he once seemed so adamant about replacing. On top of it all, Hashimoto claims that Japan needs a dictatorship to run more smoothly. Maybe this will help ease Japan out of all of its social problems of people not wanting to marry, have kids, or in some cases work or even leave their house/rooms. If Hashimoto were really intent of having a narrower governmental system he could have implied that Japan go back to its imperialistic state with the Emperor, but instead he wants a dictator. I think that Hashimoto just wants to be a dictator to monopolize everything politically about Japan, as he is currently unable to in his meager position of Mayor of Osaka City.
On another note, Hashimoto Isao has been working diligently on recording visually how many times nuclear missiles are detonated around the world (and where) since 1945. If you want to check it out, it is Here where you can watch in detail what he has actually spent his time researching on. It is really cool and terrifying to see that human beings have done so much damage within teh past 70 years that is has been working on nuclear anything almost.
Well, I can no longer keep my eyes open... so good night! Thank you for reading!
