It is kinda funny how political labels get made but, anyways, the Liberal Democrat Party in Japan won a landslide victory in yesterday’s snap election – picking up 316 out of 465 seats in the Diet, where Japan’s political power resides. This is a supermajority which will allow Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi to remake Japan as she sees fit. Back to that label – the Liberal Democrats are the Conservative-Populist/Nationalist Japanese party. Among the Party goals are a restriction on immigration and a build up of Japan’s military – that is, not allowing Japan to be turned into something Not Japan via immigration, and building up a force which make China think twice about disturbing the balance of power in east Asia.
I don’t know if this will mean Japan builds nuclear weapons – probably won’t. But I think Japan should. I’m sure they’ve got the technical know-how to build a credible nuclear deterrent within 10 years of the word “go”. But it is a sensitive issue in Japan, for obvious reasons. On the other hand, if Japan wishes to remain a fully independent nation, she’ll have to look after her own defense. I support our continued alliance with Japan and I can’t imagine a set of circumstances where we would refuse Japan aid in case of war…but no nation should place its chips on someone else riding to the rescue. The Europeans did this and look where it landed them.
What I am confident it will mean is the low-key rebuilding of Japan’s fleet air arm will be turbocharged…as well Japan’s development of first rank attack subs (and Japan is also helping Taiwan build first-rate submarines). Basically, Japan is going to back to being a Great Power. And in my view, we should mostly leave east Asia in Japan’s hands. There is strategic risk in this because maybe a future Japanese government decides it is time for Round II. This is a low-risk possibility and so worth it for us. An alliance of Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Philippines, Vietnam and Australia ultimately backed by us is vastly strong enough to curb Chinese ambitions. But I would like to ultimately see the US 8th Army out of Korea as well as withdrawing American ships from permanent basing in Japan. Our main Pacific base remains Hawaii and our forward base is Saipan (I have come to loath having bases on foreign soil – just too much diplomatic friction…I’d only agree to it if the base is ceded to the US either permanently or on a century-long lease). Long term, this starts to restore a normal world where powers and regional groupings look after themselves rather than to a globalist UN paid for by tax dollars extracted from Americans. Maybe one day we will have a one world government…but it can only happen in a sane way if the peoples of the world chose it. Not have it chosen for them by elites who then lie to the people to get it done.
Meanwhile, over in Aragon, Spain, the socialist government coalition got whacked in the regional elections. Supposedly Aragon is the bellweather for Spain…as it goes, so will the nation in the next national election. Don’t know enough about Spanish politics to judge that…but here’s the thing about both Spain and Japan: it was the youth vote in both places which propelled the Right to victory. The youth of the civilized world have had enough of it…enough of their future being stolen by an aging, dying Ruling Class. And think about this: the kids have been subjected to relentless Ruling Class propaganda since they were born. In schools, in media, in pop culture…everything has told them that their own countries are bad, their own people second rate, that they have to stop being what they are if they want to be good people…and this is now being rejected. Probably on instinct. It is also what happened here in 2024 and is happening in country after country…the youth is rebelling.
The Ruling Class will not go without a fight. In Spain, for instance, faced with its increasing unpopularity, the socialist government is going to legalize 500,000 foreigners living in Spain and allow them to vote in the next election. France is set to do this as well – and the reason why there’s a Labour government in the UK is because they did this years ago. The Ruling Class is electing a new people as the old people reject the Ruling Class. I don’t have much hope for Europe because of this – the demographics have been changed too much for there to be a non-violent way back and as all European peoples have been disarmed, there’s no way to fight the Ruling Class. But the rebellion is still there – and in nations where the demographics have not been fatally altered, the rebellion is winning.
It is ok to be what you are. I would never dream of going to a foreign land and telling them to be something they’re not. And this goes even for rather despicable peoples with really lousy cultures. Hey, I used to think differently – I used to believe that most people wanted to live in peace and freedom under law with everyone minding their own business. Found out in the War on Terrorism that some peoples appear to enjoy being rat bastards and will put up with poverty, disease and oppression as long as there’s someone lower than themselves to s*** on. Hey, more power to ya. Live as you want to live. And I, an American, will live as I want to live. Just as I expect a Japanese to live as a Japanese wants to live. And Argentine like Argentine. So on and so forth. I do believe my American civilization is the best – at least, it is the best for me. I want to keep it. Because of the peculiarity of American development, I don’t completely oppose immigration…but I refuse utterly the immigrant who doesn’t want to be American. I don’t want to see people wandering around my streets dressed in bizarre, foreign garb and speaking foreign languages with all the local signage unreadable…melting pot, not balkanization. Become American. Ditch all that Old Country nonsense that doesn’t fit in…and if you’ve got something on the Old Country’s menu that tastes good, lets have at it. In English. Wearing common American clothes. With it cooked up to food safety codes and served with forks and knives. Yeah, and we don’t just dump our trash on the streets or in the local river…we’re not like that here in America.
I do think our youth rebellion will work. That they will sort this out – and with just a touch of guidance from use geezers, they’ll be able to restore America over the next couple decades. I guess there really is a limit to what people will put up with…and we’ve at last reached it.
