Unbelievable, the lengths people go to to deal with their shortcomings.
Removing a monument honoring Black US soldiers has nothing to do with DEI. It’s erasure of history and it’s straight-up racism.

The Liberal Democratic Party is electing a new president on Saturday to unify the divided party and, in all likelihood, steer a minority government as Japan’s next prime minister.
A divided LDP heads to the polls to elect a new president

According to @asahi.com, only 15% of Japanese believe the USA “will protect” Japan in the event of a military emergency. About 77% of survey respondents do not think USA will protect its alliance partner.

Outstanding! It's a start.
As of April, Japan will make high school free for all with a budget revision that lifts income limits on subsidies to pay school course fees. Japan's far right is lambasting the move as a waste of taxpayer money. However, public opinion polls show fairly broad support.
