A nice picture to symbolize the resistance against Abe's policies.

As much as I keep seeing and reading about these protests here on JT, I rarely see it being covered on TV news.

For how often and for such large numbers that are gathering for this important matter, it's a real shame this isn't being put into peoples living rooms more often.

You wont because the media is loath to go against a sitting PM and his policies. They dont want to be kicked out of the "club" of lapdogs that run around the Diet fighting for scraps of information to report.

My heart goes out to these people standing in the rain tryin to take their country back from a fascist dictator. Thank you all for standing in the rain and having to conviction to do what most of us here can't. I salute you and offer a word of encouragement from my PC.

Abe the Tojo clone.

Nothing but respect to these people. And not just any rain, in the middle of a typhoon.

Good on these people. It's a shame they would have a better chance of being heard in China, despite trying to emulate it.

Pretty soon, some media expert is going to come up with a CCP's version of Godwin's law.

And no. In China, an organized protest must be approved by the central government and if not, the consequences are that of Tianamen Square in 1989.

The protest should be covered in japan's prime time news on all major networks. Japanese people are being cheated. The media sells it, they live the role.
