"Seven lives for my country. Long live His Imperial Majesty, the Emperor!"
He wasnt even 20 when he did it
They still celebrate the assassination
OF COURSE THEY DID
o: Wouldn't you?
Well, a very small group of ultranationalists
MASH THAT DIRTY RED SCUM
Imagine if Japan went commie instead of POST WAR ECONOMIC MIRACLE
Dunno, I wouldnt be pleased if anyone was stabbed on stage commie or not memes aside
What's it feel like to KILL A MAN?
I dont think the kid had any regrets
🕶 I wouldn't know. I've only killed communists.
I don't think anyone would allow Japan to go Communist after how they had humiliated Russia in the past
I think what makes this assassination feel noble and not... like vigilante horseshit
Russia lost against so many factions like there
Well, lost alot for so little gain
Is that he was clearly ready to end his OWN life with it, and it was addressing the ROOTS of the problem, and not the symptom.
Hows that different from suicide bombers?
"Commie leader. Target. And DEAD. And now myself. Hail emperor."
I guess in suicide bombers its indescriminate
That kid had one target and one only
How is that different from double murder suicides?
Well he's not murdering random commies.
He's murdering HEAD commie.
He saved countless lives.
As much as I can respect that, I dont want to imagine commies retaliating in kind
The only thing that makes it seem noble
is the historical context of the action
Or take that as a reason. He was lucky the commie movement was tiny and that nip nipped it in the bud
Not the fact that he killed himself, but the context of how.
If communism hadn't been attempted yet?
I'd say this was way out of line.
It's the fact that we know what it does **every single fucking time.**
This would've been post-war, right?
Post WW2?
Or more like he loved his country and had the conviction to say that communicm will destroy it
1960.
Kid had the country in mind, and the emperor
Yeaaaah.
Even today, Japan only has to mention the idea of raising its military to make that side of the world scared.
