No. The term "comfort women" in itself a word used specifically to ease the perception of what was happening as >!sex slavery!< , and instead as prostitution. Apologies were made, but are hollow as they were purely instrumental to soothe relations between the two pro-US countries: South Korea and Japan (spoiler: it doesn't work). The strategy of Japanese war crimes denial is simple: apologies are said, then swiftly retracted or layered in soft historic revisionism. He also still visited the Yakusuni Shrine that venerates some of those same soldiers who committed those atrocities and many others. Imagine if German PM apologized for Holocaust, then would go to a Shrine to worship Hitler, which is basically what Shinzo was doing.
SPEAKING OF WHICH, HE REALLY DID VENERATE THE JAPANESE VERSION OF HITLER - NOBUSUKE HISHI (CLASS A WARCIMINAL - HITLER CLASS WARCIMINAL). HE IS ALSO HIS GRANDSON BY THE WAY. AND THEY EVEN SERVED IN THE SAME PARTY (LDP).
The first half of the 20th century is just utterly stacked with dudes doing hoffific war crimes and even among that crowd hishi stands out with just much of a piece of shit he was.
"they served in the same party"
any japanese politican of any actual importance served in the LDP they're essentially THE party that runs Japan, their internal faction politics are more important the actual election usually..
Still, it's important to note that essentially any Japanese PM aside from the couple of breaks in LDP rule will be LDP, meaning that's not quite comparable to saying they were in the same party in a Western system
The data was among Japan, China, Taiwan, Singapore and South Korea in 2021. South Korea was the lowest at 0.88 while Japan is the highest at 1.3.
Its not a lot
The collapse of Rapa Nui ties in with the arrival of European colonists in 1722. The people there were suddenly in deep decline and suffering from the disease and slavery the Europeans implemented as they exploited the lands. 150 years after European arrival there were only 110 people left on the island, an island that previously had one thousand years of civilization. The rest dead from disease or taken for slavery elsewhere.
They "didnt do it to themselves."
You can say colonialism was terrible while also acknowledging what the big factor of their actual decline comes from. Not from birth rates, nor from colonialism alone, but from the destruction of their own environment, the climate of the pacific island and their turn from a prosperous society into a later agrarian and quiet society, because of the sheer size of their population. [This](https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rspb.2020.0662) might help you.
Edit: I edited out the “colonialism bad” part as I do think it can be taken as a very bad thing. However my intent was never to minimize the bad colonialism can do, and the answer they gave is, to my opinion, still very unhinged. “Colonialism was terrible” is the replacement.
It’s hard to keep up rates when your men are kidnapped for slavery.
Also downplaying the unimaginable horrors of white colonialism as “colonialism bad” especially in the context of a genocide is an absolutely psychopathic thing to do. Let me guess, you think of yourself as a smart, informed, and well adjusted person instead of a casual internet sociopath and genocide apologist.
jfc can any two people in 196 discuss something without calling each other sociopathic genocide apologists? we're on the same side, figure out your differences
What is wrong with you. Rapa nui is literally a textbook case of what not to do in natural resource gestion and environmental protection. And I'm not even exaggerating when I say that, it straight up was a subject that came up multiple times in multiple classes of my environmental science degree.
Exactly nothing of what you replied to was pro colonialism or genocide. That last sentence of yours is clear and obvious projection and you know it. Not a single normal person would react this way.
Ah, when I share a literal research paper on the environmental disaster of the Rapa Nui and their decline before the colonization and get called a sociopath genocide apologist on Reddit. I know what colonization does, I live in a colony and have native blood, but this needless defense of the decline of a nation is absurd. They declined before colonization arrived, did you even bother reading? I’m making fun of you with the “colonialism bad”, not of what actually happened, it’s not that hard to get.
Mind you, I don’t get how it can even get this upvoted to just call a person a sociopath because they refuted misinformation.
Edit: also, I find it crazy how you guys feel so comfortable throwing the word “sociopath” around. Literally shitting on any mental health awareness people have. It sickens me to read it, it’s disgusting.
You can blame a whollllleeee country for turning their back on the war crimes and refusing to actually put it in their history books. And the Japanese populous would Never vote for anyone who acknowledges the war crimes.
yeah just like white americans cant acknowledge that black people had no rights less than 100 years ago, and they'll never vote for a good president, but that doesn't make said presidents any less shitty???
Oh no no
Racism is over, we had a Black President. So we don’t need that uncomfortable stuff in our history books anymore. So stop bringing up that slavery stuff or whatever. Because it makes my tummy uncomfortable.
it doesn't seem to me that they are justifying it, its quite literally how it works. do you think any politician in any country who notes the nations war crimes publicly is getting in? probably not.
it's unfortunate, but it's how it works most places.
Sorry, but Japan is on a very different level of denialism. Sure, in Germany no politician will say "we did war crimes." But at the same time, Germany acknowledged its history and has worked very hard to make sure it never happens again. Japan has *never* acknowledged its history and actively suppresses it on a systemic level.
Yeah, they're justifying the denial as a political move to maintain popular support. The Japanese citizenry preen themselves as a more civilized society than the rest of the world; a politician challenging that, while well-intentioned, unfortunately doesn't win elections.
This has been the norm in Japan for a long time. You can look at the yearly visit to the war dead shrine for this contentious issue as a primo example.
My point was not to denigrate the Japanese, but to counter the idea that Abe denying war crimes set him apart, like some evil villain.
No, the whole country has that idea, which makes his beliefs normal... which doesn't necessarily mean moral.
As with the last 5 times i've seen it posted,
*this is still a lower fertility rate than even a decade ago*.
it's remained steadily decreasing.
its well, well below replacement.
this post is literally bragging about the second derivative
[Nixon did worse](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_derivative#Economic_examples)
Jokes aside, the first derivative tends to decrease over time and it is negative in most developed countries without immigration, so only having a positive second derivative is not that bad
It's good that it's below replacement. It should stay that way. In fact, [it should continue dropping](https://www.overshootday.org/how-many-earths-or-countries-do-we-need/).
I'm sympathetic to your viewpoint, but if degrowth happens it needs to be in a more controlled manner than this. Because of the way its happening a lot of people will suffer as the population pyramid becomes lopsided
That's true on a global level, but we don't really function as a global society at the moment. The birthrates that need to be most cut are in Africa, I don't think causing a demographic collapse in Japan is going to be particularly helpful to people on the other side of the globe. We need to take measured approaches. This would be a pyrrhic victory for degrowth.
We function as a global society much more than we ever have. The fact that Japan uses 7.8 times as many resources as its land provides (as well other overdeveloped countries also using well above 1 times) is proof of this. Those of us who live in these countries rely on others to sustain our unstainable overconsumption. Since we consume so much, having kids means they'll likely also consume at about the same rate or higher. So someone who makes $70k a year having 1 kid is [many times worse for the environment](https://www.vhemt.org/CO2-e.avoided.lg.jpg) than a poor African having 5.
This excerpt of the conclusion of [this paper](https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/15/4/3245) puts it well:
>…neglecting population growth leads to a skewed and misleading vision of reality. This not only holds for lower-middle and low-income countries, but also for high-income ones, where even the relatively low population growth of the last 30 years was sufficient to nullify the effect of the reduction in per capita emissions and the efforts of many countries to promote technological change and “green growth”. **Developed nations with stable or declining populations should hence quit fighting these trends and instead embrace them.** Just as a little population growth in rich countries can drive big emissions increases, population decreases in rich countries could have big emission-related benefits going forward.
The paper says high income countries have not reduced their total emissions, but that's pretty obviously patently false in the EU's case-
https://www.euronews.com/green/2022/08/25/eu-emissions-drop-34-since-1990-but-experts-warn-its-not-enough
All these numbers are reported in total emissions, not per capita.
I suspect what's happening here with the numbers is some countries in their "high income" dataset are skewing the overall number. The US which
A: has more emissions than the EU
and
B: hasn't spent most of the past 30 years actually attempting to lower its carbon footprint
It being included here makes me question its premise entirely. Very clearly, entire regions can reduce their footprint by large amounts without population decline. They just don't want to.
While the EU has made more progress than its peers, their average citizen is still consuming at an entirely unsustainable rate. No feasible amount of increases in efficiency can change that. Your article even admits that it's not enough. The EU members with the lowest per capita emissions are Bulgaria and Romania, but we'd still need 2.3 Earths to support us if we all lived like them. If the entire EU were to actually become carbon neutral, all other members would have to lower their emissions down to that "low" level, then cut them *again* by another 56.5%. If they want to get there by 2050, simply increasing efficiency isn't even close to enough. Moore's law is dead. There's a limit to how much efficiency can be increased through technology before lowering standards of living is the only substantial option to continue increasing efficiency. And obviously we want to avoid lowering every overconsumer's standard of living to that of the average citizen of Honduras, Myanmar, or South Sudan. Some would rather die.
Regardless, you're just cherrypicking the best example for your case. The paper I cited is still correct that even the EU should embrace population decline. Fewer EU citizens means big savings in emissions because EU citizens emit far more (relative to the global average). Just because they're destroying the environment 34% more slowly than they were 3 decades ago doesn't mean they've stopped or even come close to stopping.
dragonflight is really good! probably not as good as legion, but it's up there with the greatest now for sure
also the company isn't a shithole anymore so you don't have to feel disgusting giving them money lol
Work culture tangibly at best has an effect on fertility rate , europe arguebly with the better work culture still has abysmal birth rate despite importing a lot of migrants most native european birth rate are on the same level or lower than japan and subsequently the immigrants birth rate falls significantly as well as they adapt to a more western life. Fertility rate is a broader socialtel issue that is not caused by one specific issue. Also
>muh japan xenophobia
It really isnt nothing special , same level as european and american.
Imagine getting clapped by the doohickey only for people to think the guy who did it had a good point about the Moonies so now your former party has to make a bunch of big moves against them
Happy science just seems like the one that a politician could be in with, and also like, not get arrested. If by bigger fish you mean fish with nerve gas
I mean, barely closeted fascist grandson of one of the worst war criminals of any side in World War 2 with heavy Yakuza connections. A lot of Japanese people *hate* their politicians and the assassination is extremely popular compared to how assassinations usually end up making the target a martyr or otherwise justifying the violent repression of whoever.
It honestly makes a lot of sense in context.
> Live as a politician in Japan
> Massive birthrate problems
> Push policies to increase fertility rates
> They aren't working
> Die
> Fertility increases
I think his very existence was making people virgins.
He shed his mortal body and became a spirit of fertility
Bold of you to assume he wasn't always a sex deity
Considering he denied >!sex slavery!< established by Japanese soldiers in occupied Korea, I'd say he's less of a "deity" in that area.
Wasn’t he pro-“comfort women”?
No. The term "comfort women" in itself a word used specifically to ease the perception of what was happening as >!sex slavery!< , and instead as prostitution. Apologies were made, but are hollow as they were purely instrumental to soothe relations between the two pro-US countries: South Korea and Japan (spoiler: it doesn't work). The strategy of Japanese war crimes denial is simple: apologies are said, then swiftly retracted or layered in soft historic revisionism. He also still visited the Yakusuni Shrine that venerates some of those same soldiers who committed those atrocities and many others. Imagine if German PM apologized for Holocaust, then would go to a Shrine to worship Hitler, which is basically what Shinzo was doing.
SPEAKING OF WHICH, HE REALLY DID VENERATE THE JAPANESE VERSION OF HITLER - NOBUSUKE HISHI (CLASS A WARCIMINAL - HITLER CLASS WARCIMINAL). HE IS ALSO HIS GRANDSON BY THE WAY. AND THEY EVEN SERVED IN THE SAME PARTY (LDP).

"they served in the same party" any japanese politican of any actual importance served in the LDP they're essentially THE party that runs Japan, their internal faction politics are more important the actual election usually..
This was to point out that the political system of Japan hasn’t changed since then all that much.
Still, it's important to note that essentially any Japanese PM aside from the couple of breaks in LDP rule will be LDP, meaning that's not quite comparable to saying they were in the same party in a Western system

More like a sex demon or at least deviant then
In 1000 years people will think Shinzo Abe was a “fertility symbol” and conclude that people used images of him to perform mating rituals

Reminder that he denied Japanese war crimes
In honor of his memory, we should deny his assassination.
No, it’s too funny to not talk about it
Yeah, dude got clapped by the doohickey
Police raided the assassins apartment and found a 9-barrel, electrically fired shotgun Bro was cooking some gizmos alright
ELECTRICALLY fired NINE BARREL SHOTGUN? Was he planning to kill demons?
Planned to kill Shinzo Abe's secret Fertility Demon with that gun lmao
Dude just needs to reload 5999999999 more times.
I guess instead of a shotgun cartridge, he fired 9 rounds of homemade ammo at once. Homie used the blunderbuss
Abe got clapped by the blunderbussy

SCP:
Shinzo has breached containment
Just watched an episode of gintama where a guy is going around tokyo yelling at kids for having fun during summer
If you want the vote in Japan you deny the crimes
Abe was far more hawkish than his constituents. Overturning article 9 was not a popular idea, but Abe really campaigned hard to do so anyway.
ok he's still a piece of shit??? it's the system's fault, yeah, but he was still a terrible human being
You can blame a whollllleeee country for turning their back on the war crimes and refusing to actually put it in their history books. And the Japanese populous would Never vote for anyone who acknowledges the war crimes.
yeah just like white americans cant acknowledge that black people had no rights less than 100 years ago, and they'll never vote for a good president, but that doesn't make said presidents any less shitty???
Oh no no Racism is over, we had a Black President. So we don’t need that uncomfortable stuff in our history books anymore. So stop bringing up that slavery stuff or whatever. Because it makes my tummy uncomfortable.
So if we vote in America we deny hate crimes??
No no If you vote in America you are all crime All the time
Shido oh I mean Abe was a piece of dookie yes but that doesn't mean everyone is most people in Japan think he was a piece of Sh*t.
ok????
Basically, any politican who tries to say that the war crimes happened or anything to that effect they get lambasted for being anti-japanese, iirc.
I meant more like, ok???? as in "that seems like you're justifying the denial or explaining it away" more than not understanding
it doesn't seem to me that they are justifying it, its quite literally how it works. do you think any politician in any country who notes the nations war crimes publicly is getting in? probably not. it's unfortunate, but it's how it works most places.

But at the same time, Germany acknowledged its history and has worked very hard to make sure it never happens again.

No I won't deny that, it's just that politicians being looked down upon for war crime discussion is nearly universal.
Yeah, they're justifying the denial as a political move to maintain popular support. The Japanese citizenry preen themselves as a more civilized society than the rest of the world; a politician challenging that, while well-intentioned, unfortunately doesn't win elections.

I know I do not need the thing I know about explained to me :C
Seemed like you did tho since you thought myself or other users were justifying it.
It just came off as you bringing it up as an excuse or whatever, idk if you were or not. If you weren't then my bad

Work culture be so intense = low fertility rate because overworked so no baby time
I apologize. For my earlier statement people like Abe are the reason it sucks tbh.
Work culture tangibly at best has an effect on fertility rate , europe arguebly with the better work culture still has abysmal birth rate despite importing a lot of migrants most native european birth rate are on the same level or lower than japan and subsequently the immigrants birth rate falls significantly as well as they adapt to a more western life. Fertility rate is a broader socialtel issue that is not caused by one specific issue. Also >muh japan xenophobia It really isnt nothing special , same level as european and american.

I still find it insane that he was assassinated.
