      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.

      Whereas in the US, assassinating presidents used to be the fifth most popular sport.

    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…
