Fumio Kishida " The Man with Glasses Who Increases Tax": The Opposite - Emperor Nintoku (Essay)

Emperor Nintoku

Fumio Kishida

Whether he was a real person or not is up for debate, but Emperor Nintoku (the 16th emperor) is known as a monarch who was kind to his subjects, as his name (Jin: gentle) suggests. When he looked out of the palace, he saw no smoke coming from the kitchen and realized that his subjects were struggling to make ends meet, so he exempted them from taxes for three years and did not re-roof the palace.

Truly "Jin". However, in modern Japan, there is a man who is the exact opposite, "Non-Jin: Never gentle". He is Prime Minister Fumio Kishida. This guy taxes the people at every opportunity and boasts they can achieve a primary balance surplus of 800 billion yen in fiscal 2025. In other words, he has robbed the people of their money and transferred it to government offices. He has been nicknamed " The Man with Glasses Who Increases Tax". He gives away that hard-earned tax money to foreign countries such as Ukraine without consulting the people.

The voices of resentment from the Japanese people are gradually growing louder, and it has been almost a year since the cabinet's approval rating fell to 20%. However, Japanese politics is controlled by the corrupt Liberal Democratic Party, and its head, Fumio Kishida, has not resigned as prime minister and is clinging to his job.

It is especially noteworthy that he has done nothing in response to the major earthquake in the Noto region in early 2024, has not repaired the roads and water supply even six months after the earthquake, and has publicly declared that he will "abandon" this region, while at the same time saying that he will go ahead with the construction of the World Expo and international resort hotels in all the national parks. This man is a psychopath without a human heart. Far from being gentle, he is cruel.

Note: On August 14, 2024, Fumio Kishida announced that he would not run in the next LDP presidential election. This is a late decision.

「増税メガネ」岸田文雄：逆―仁徳天皇（エッセイ）

実在の人かどうか、議論の余地はあるが、仁徳天皇（１６代）は、その名（仁: gentle）の通り、臣民に優しい君主として知られる。彼が宮殿から外を見たとき、炊事の煙が上がっておらず、臣民が生活に困窮していると見て取った彼は、その後３年間租税を免除し、宮殿の屋根も葺き替えなかった。

まさしく「仁」。だが現代日本には、その真逆を行く「不仁」の男がいる。岸田文雄内閣総理大臣だ。この野郎は、ことあるごとに国民に課税し、２０２５年度のプライマリーバランスを８０００億円の黒字にできると威張っている。つまり、国民から金を強奪し、役所に移転したことに他ならない。ついたあだ名が「増税メガネ」。その血税を、国民になんの相談もなくウクライナなどの外国にホイホイくれている。

日本国民の怨嗟の声も次第に大きくなっていて、内閣支持率が２０％に下落して１年になろうとしている。でも日本の政治は、腐敗した自由民主党が握っているので、その長の岸田文雄は、それでも総理を辞めず、職にしがみついている。

特筆すべきは、２０２４年初の能登地方の大地震に対して、何もせず、地震発生から半年経っても道路、水道を直さず、この地域を「見捨てる」と公言し、一方では万博、国立公園の国際リゾートホテル建設は進めると宣言している。この男は、人の心のないサイコパスである。彼は、仁：gentleどころか、残忍である。

注：２０２４年８月14日、岸田文雄は、次期自民党総裁選への不出馬を表明した。決断が遅い。

for the record, the ‘low income’ threshold in some bay area counties is $104,000. many complaints about ‘rich people’ in the us are complaining about the wrong people.

I still have my issues with the Haunt Couture line, but I'm really glad that they went back to the classic style of face-ups for the newer ones.

(Image description: Two close up photos of Cleo de Nile from Monster High of her Haunt Couture dolls. The first one is her original Haunt Couture doll, while the other is her Midnight Runway doll, in which in her eyes resemble the style of her original gen 1 doll.)

Silly Game Time: What would your monarch-style, descriptor title be if you were given the choice?

For example, I would be "the Eccentric". But some kings of France have been "the Great", "the Good", "the Pious", and "the Universal Spider" (yep, that one is real and belonged to Louis XI in the 1400s).

well you've given me a tough act to follow (someone should make a spiderverse oc based off that tbh) but how about, "the Birdsong" or smthn? like, whevever birds are singing, they're signin about me. that's the kind of ego trip i'm on when i've got royal propaganda to make

Can't even mention that a store near me is clearly using abusing the TFW program because they refuse to pay little more than minimum wage in a high cost of living area (also you won't get benefits and you'll only be part-time) because the fascists and right-wingers will jump in to say it's about immigration and white replacement.

No, it's because rich white people want to hoard even more money and found an intentional loophole to both make more money (via paying employees less) and also have more power over employees, employees who may or may not know Canadian employment laws (or safety laws) and even if they do, don't have the ability or support to try to hold the company accountable.

You can absolutely criticize the federal government for keeping the loophole open but it predates Trudeau by decades and it was Harper who both expanded the program and added a way for companies to fast-track TFWs. It was also under Harper that companies started firing Canadians (or not hiring them) and then requesting permission to mass-hire TFWs instead.

But the way the right wing talks, you would think Trudeau started this whole thing and the poor multi-million and multi-billion dollar companies are being taken advantage of. Also that housing prices, lack of new developments, and zoning issues started with Trudeau and are the fault of mass-immigration he has a boner for instead of being an issue for decades and experts warning this would happen if governments didn't act ASAP.

Instead the neolibs and cons kept cutting back and kicking that can down the road, a can that started being kicked by Mulroney and the Conservative Party.

i love the labour party love how they've gone from being like "we need REAL CHANGE...." to just spending two months with half of them hiding and the other half gesturing at rachel reeves while she goes 😬😕

[maslows-pyramid-scheme]

This probably sounds super pedantic, but I hate how people, and especially businesses and governments, are re-framing 'commuters' and 'clients' as 'customers.'
