He denied the existence of Japanese war crimes during WWII, including Japanese soldiers taking women in occupied territories as sex slaves which he claimed was consensual. He pushed for significant increases in military spending at the cost of health care and public infrastructure.
Yeah, I ‘d take Boris resigning versus Trump denying in a heartbeat. There’s really nothing equivalent in these comparisons. Boris and Donald are both despicable. That’s where the similarity ends. Boris actually fucked off. Overdue, but still.
For sure will fail. Nothing will happen. If anything does, it’ll be like, six months of white collar prison and a huge fine that he won’t even bat an eye at. That’s the us!
Like everything in American politics, it is ultimately a pointless dog-and-pony show to keep the common man distracted and incensed. Nothing will come of it, and his successor(s) will know that they can do the same shtick and get away with it, and our lives will be caught up in the turning of the gears.
If they had anything to actually arrest him for. Or atleast prevent him from running, don't you think they'd have released it way sooner rather than waiting?
The tories finally ditched Boris Johnson over a scandal where he appointed a known sexual predator to the position of Deputy Chief Whip. Over forty of his ministers resigned. He tried to go on but just couldn't, so now the tories are voting on a replacement.
I've seen quite a few people s33m to celebrate Abe being murdered, and I don't like it. Abe wasn't a great person, denying war crimes is disgusting, I don't think he should be remembered fondly. But celebrating another person's death, where it has no benefit in stopping harm (Abe wasn't in office and wouldn't have done more damage if left alive), just feels like a reflection of the worst qualities of humanity. I don't think schadenfreude is good for the soul...
Abe still had a massive amount of power though. This is comparable to Trump: yes, he is no longer president, but his opinions have still a massive weight.
I mean, it wasn't just denying Nazi-scale atrocities. He also annually visited the shrines, and he was still a big figure and still active. He was giving a speech in a public space when he got shot, not in some private home.
Agreed. If for too long you stare into the void, and all that. If we welcome the murder of a political opponent we lose the part of ourselves that makes us fundamentally different from those same people.
The difference is that lots of people in America don't think anything will happen to Chump. Just like nothing happened to him for the 4 years that he was in office.
The idea that Boris and his government's resignation was a done deal within 24 hours is kinda weird. That shit had been brewing and stewing for a longggg time and Boris held out for as long as legally possible, and even illegally in some instances
Can someone give the general opinion of this guy?

Was president for like a number of years of one of those G5 countries or smth
*50 ministers. But don't worry, us Brits are enjoying the downfall of those awful toffs.
it’s so nice to watch them all just leave - i’m so scared about what’s coming next though
What’s going on? Why are so many resigning?
i can't keep learning about major news events like this because APPARENTLY Shinzo Abe was assassinated
Same here, I knew about Shinzo Abe but, this is the first I heard of the Johnson thing.
Well he's not Prime Minister anymore.
Reddit memes are a large source of news for me.

"Boris actually fucked off" is the funniest way I've read about his resignation and looks like something the lads in
Yeah its almost apples and oranges
Rule34 artists work fast, but shitposters work faster
An artist in the hand is worth two in the circlejerk
Let's not forget our REAL soldiers, today was probably a hard day for wikipedia editors too.
Not surprising. There were too many shitposts about him even when he was still alive.
If 9/11 happened today, there would be memes made before the second plane hit.
so is the trump thing like actually happening this time? or is just another try that will probably fail?
Always the latter. He's gotten away with everything for decades and there's no way in hell politicians are gonna be the ones to do anything about it.
I wouldn't be surprised to see an indictment at the end of it, and maybe even a conviction depending on how they go about it.
For sure will fail. Nothing will happen. If anything does, it’ll be like, six months of white collar prison and a huge fine that he won’t even bat an eye at. That’s the us!

He's a politician/billionaire, which is like double invincibility against literally any crime in the US
The January 6th hearings can/will never result in indictments because congress doesn't have the authority to do that, the Department of Justice does.
You really think the US Justice system wants to deal with that many “what-if’s?”
Nothing will happen to pseudo-rich mushroom dick’d orange man. He’ll outlive most of us too, despite being an obese piece of shit.
If they had anything to actually arrest him for. Or atleast prevent him from running, don't you think they'd have released it way sooner rather than waiting?
What's Shinzo Abe up to now?
he was shot. He has been declared dead.
Death, mostly
Not much of anything anymore
Stupid question but what's indiction?
Basically it’s a formal accusation that they’ve committed a crime
Also, why is there a ‘c’ in that word? For example, look at indictment vs interdict
I think it would be really funny if The Queen suddenly croaked it this week too.
Oh THAT’S why I saw someone say that on tumblr
Better yet, today.
one can only hope
I suspect I'll be seeing this comment in a few days
God, I hope Klaus being hit by a bus becomes a meme template.
Klaus is a walking meme tbh
This is how I learn about Shinzo Abe dying? Who needs news when you have shitposts.
ohh so that's what's been happening
What happened in Britain?
The tories finally ditched Boris Johnson over a scandal where he appointed a known sexual predator to the position of Deputy Chief Whip. Over forty of his ministers resigned. He tried to go on but just couldn't, so now the tories are voting on a replacement.
Australians, feeding their politicians to the sea:
Genuinely think the Aussies have the right idea tbh
Wait has that happened more than once?
Imma keep it real with you, 57th Prime Minister of Japan Shinzo Abe
This year is just kinda like extra extra cursed huh
Dunno what you're on about, this Boris situation is the best comedy show I've ever seen.
That's what I've been saying for 15 years
Cursed? Every event listed here is blessed.
Even years. It’s always the even years.
if i had a nickel everytime a head of state named abe was assassinated, id have two nickels, which isnt a lot but its weird it happened twice
You son of a bitch. Now I have to get a reward
Why do I have to learn international news like this?
My brother in Christ, you went to Reddit
Conspiracy theory: Shinzo Abe killed Kazuki Takahashi. This was retaliation.
bruh
Yugi still got shooters in the streets.
From Kazuki Takahashi?
Most sane w*eaboo politics take
But consider: Takahashi's ghost killed Abe
I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT A FUCKING TWEEY BY SOMEONE I FOLLOW
Any kind gentleman that could give some information on what is going down in the UK? Missed all of it due to exams
thank god abe's dead. he was such an asshole.
Genuinely asking , why?
Facism has no place in this world.
And that’s how Regina George died
I can't keep learning news like this guys
I've seen quite a few people s33m to celebrate Abe being murdered, and I don't like it. Abe wasn't a great person, denying war crimes is disgusting, I don't think he should be remembered fondly.

Question. Why did you write s33m and not seem?
Abe still had a massive amount of power though. This is comparable to Trump: yes, he is no longer president, but his opinions have still a massive weight.
Personally I will indulge in a little bit of schadenfreude when a man who continually denied war crimes against my country dies
I mean, it wasn't just denying Nazi-scale atrocities. He also annually visited the shrines, and he was still a big figure and still active. He was giving a speech in a public space when he got shot, not in some private home.
Idk. Do we really need to spend energy protecting the sanctity and respect of human life when it comes to pure evil?
Oh thank goodness I was starting to think I was the weird one for not wanting to laugh about someone getting murdered in broad daylight
The man was extremely right wing. I think everybody should celebrate his death.
Agreed. If for too long you stare into the void, and all that. If we welcome the murder of a political opponent we lose the part of ourselves that makes us fundamentally different from those same people.
Yeah
I have had my fill of once in a lifetime historical events, can we please stop now?
And Eastern Europeans not giving a fuck :D
Tumblr users must have had that third meme on a hotkey. Is there such a thing as “too soon” on Tumblr?
I gotta stop getting my news like this
Maybe I'm just cynical, but I think anyone who seriously thinks Trump will be indicted by this limp-dicked DOJ is either stupid, naive, or delusional.
Trump isn’t gonna get indicted lol
Oh my god I had to scroll to see that last picture and it hit me like a bus full of schoolchildren.
Man what a fucking week eh
Literally nothing is going to happen to trump, unfortunately
Chillllll….,Too sooon
Trump and Johnson: one is an illegal insurrection of a psychotic lunatic and the other is Johnson leaving office when told to leave.
The difference is that lots of people in America don't think anything will happen to Chump. Just like nothing happened to him for the 4 years that he was in office.
THIS IS HOW I LEARN ABOUT ABE!?!? Really!?!?
The idea that Boris and his government's resignation was a done deal within 24 hours is kinda weird. That shit had been brewing and stewing for a longggg time and Boris held out for as long as legally possible, and even illegally in some instances
[This will not improve Japan's declining birth rate]
Then the republicans took back the house and prosecuted all those who prosecuted trump and republicans
I don't understand anything in this post
Abe is a Japanese name (pronounced Ah-beh).
Too soon
It’s the news. It’s supposed to be quick.
It’s never too soon.
Way too early, my dude. Way too early
