• This is a classic western misinterpretation of East Asia. If you actually read Japanese history you would know that the Japanese have a vibrant and deep history of assassinating their Leaders.

      Whether they are a leftist sympathizer, union leader, or simply not fascist enough, there are plenty of traditional and culturally appropriate ways to assassinate the leaders of Japan.

        It’s amazing. By utilizing the time honored technique of “korosu”, this skill has been passed down from generation to generation. People don’t seem to have enough respect for tradition.

        Unless we invent extreme life extension and make it available to everyone and they all want it, yeah, that’s guaranteed, current path or no

    Oh really? In Lithuania, murder is also illegal. It traces back from the spoken tradition of the ancestors. Some recent analysis has found traces of this social ban in 800 years old folk tale, Spruce the Queen of Serpents, in which, as a punishment for murder, the killers were turned into trees. It is weird how Lithuanian culture shares similarities with the Japanese! There must have been cultural connections at some point in time…

    I know you yanks like to go around shooting each other, but if you absolutely must challenge someone to a duel - do be so kind as to use your sword instead.

    If I can’t do any of my favorite murders then what’s the point of traveling? Stupid woke Japanese ruin everything.

    The rest of us are so used to murdering people every day. I never would have thought about it!

    I guess I can stop murdering for a little bit while in Japan. If you insist.

    Now I am worried I might have committed a faux pas unknowingly. I mean, they are so polite they won’t point it out. So now I am sitting here, years later, wondering if I might have, you know, murdered someone in Japan.
