The neolib poo poo is definitely part of it and you can see a clear connection between the hikikomoris and the herbivores and other childless adults with economic factors in surveys and statistics. For example no one there can afford childcare so one of the reforms to encourage births is to make it free. Shows how desperate they are to go against their neolib instincts to do that. but I also just kind of think once a society gets advanced enough everyone stops loving and Japan is the most advanced country on Earth

The neolib consensus is actually pissed off about the Japanese government because it does the opposite of what they prescribe, at least when it comes to spending.

I'm no expert in Japanese politics or culture but so far as I can tell the country is just as liberal as most "Western" countries. It's just that they have a notoriously apathetic citizenry about voting. Not so different from us - the Right are far more militant about voting than more Left Wing or Centrist people.

apparently his age and it being his first offence.. still at least he's got 16 years probation after he gets out, here's hoping he slips up an violates.

Also, i really really want to find a court transcript of this sentencing hearing..

https://www.dailyprogress.com/news/...01af2dad7f.html

quote:

Borden’s parents gave testimony that Moore later indicated may have hurt their son’s case.

Borden’s father, Rick Borden, a retired Air Force pilot, insisted his son had done nothing wrong and repeatedly tried to show the court “evidence” he had collected on his own.

“I absolutely do not think my son did anything wrong,” he said, before launching into a digressive rant Moore had to cut off.

Rick Borden said his son was passionate about history and had learned from him that communists were “the mortal enemy.”

He described his son as being traumatized by the beating, likening the attack to “target fixation.”

At several points during questioning, Moore stopped Hallahan and had him redirect his witnesses’ testimony to the crime being heard and not other events of Aug. 12, 2017, and Harris’ own behavior before the beating.

“I’m not going to let this sentencing hearing be about something else,” the judge said.

And one where vocal leftists have been literally murdered in broad daylight on camera by the fash, as ever likely with the tactic approval of the police. Probably also at the point where the people who run the government and corporations are all sundowning too.
