“Don’t Equate Japanese Conservatism To American Conservatism”

I, personally, do not give a good long crap what a random idiot from TikTok thinks about politics; I, as a journalist and author and human being who generally prefers living among people who are not morons, give several good long craps what that person thinks, because what they think happens to also be what they broadcast to their followers, sans a preliminary 10-second Google search to validate their opinions with facts. Otherwise, I wouldn’t give the commencing subject of this piece the time of day. But comparing Japan as a “conservative country” in an American political context is pants-on-head stupid, and besides, look, this guy is out here on his feed making “content” implying that certain recently deceased white supremacists were not in fact racist at all; he has earned my contempt.
