On Tuesday, Japan’s parliament installed Sanae Takaichi, the new leader of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), as prime minister. The elevation to power of this ultra-nationalist, pro-war figure comes with a new ruling coalition that is rapidly pushing establishment politics even further to the right.

    Japanese people are currently protesting against immigration… while having one of the lowest immigrant count as % of population, and solely depending on that for any gain in population. So yeah, Japan isn’t looking to bright right now. But then again, it’s the same country that has been deliberately designing suggestive outfits for schoolgirls for decades. I imagine Japanese and American government officials are good pals.

      If the school uniform (the real one, and not the one you saw in anime or whatever) is suggestive to you, then I’m afraid it’s not the government problem.
