Mr. Fix It posted:I don't think he's making it, but I also don't think there would be any reason to delay the announcement once Kishida was in front of reporters. I think he's clinging to life, or at least was at that moment. Maybe, but if japan is anything like what i'm familiar with, the verbiage is a solid 10 out of 10 "he dead as hell" just before anyone's allowed to say so

i don't know if i'm really in favor of it but there's even less permissiveness towards prompt reporting of death, and possibly no equivalent to the western threshold of "injuries incompatible with life" where someone's so obviously dead that you don't need a formal declaration by a doctor anymore, like what you had in the Dreamworld ride malfunction. korea adds another level to it where they habituated suicide erasure through the fan death myth

No matter how much I learn about these loving cults I never know anything. I can learn twice as much in one day as I have ever known about the unification church and still know nothing. If this whole event is precipitated by the historical predations of it or a similar cult, I'll have to read endless explainers despite literally knowing people who had to live and escape the whole moonie jamboree.

the killing of shinzo abe was such a fascinatingly successful action not because of apathy. the presence of and actions of the unification church are the story behind the story in terms of "how what they are made this reaction make sense" — there was no effective condemnation of the attacker's motivations, it just immediately turned a spotlight directly at the unification church's political inroads and corrupt practices enabled by it. i have always had a lot of hate in my heart for the tongilgyo but it was never something i could translate to a western audience what kind of presence they have and what it turned into or why specifically you could end up caring about it like this. It would be like if scientology basically had pet presidents and was the largest individual church in the states by 2035, then one day president vivek ramaswamy gets exploded by the Killdozer while giving a stump speech and made it very clear it is because vivek had spent his entire political career being a scientology asset, and Sea Org took Killdozer guy's whole family to the cleaners and left him in poverty. and within a day of the killing, like three quarters of the entire country goes "oh! THAT'S why he blew him up? well, ... I mean ... yeah ... its not that i agree with killing political leaders, necessarily ... but ... i mean, if it was because of scientology ... yeah that got pretty bad huh" and from then on out its months of similar stories coming out about scientology graft snaking vines deeply into the political system and absolutely, no hyperbole, ruining lives completely
