This is the British Mind running on racism, terrified of people in the Sea now....

"Immigration! Immigration! Immigration!" the Politicians and Media bellows at us, and the weak willed among us go along with it, bombarded relentless on tales of The Other coming to rape us all....

:youtube: 🇯🇵 **YouTube Generation Propels Japan's Anti-Foreigner Politics Into The Mainstream**

"_Kato said he believes the Chinese, the biggest cohort of foreign residents in Japan and among the largest visitor groups, are quietly taking over the country. Chinese are also often the focal point for anti-immigrant rhetoric propagated online._"

The Home Office would rather gas all these people and steal their glasses and false teeth.
So would a third of the country, and another third would go along with it just to fit in.

And then they'll come for Queers like me, and who will stop them? Will I have to be smuggled out to Ireland or something? Just so shitty people can lord it over others (until the Fascism slits their throat in the night)

#Japan’s #FarRight party makes electoral gains with anti-globalist message

Japan’s #Sanseito party wins big with ‘#JapaneseFirst’ push and #AntiImmigration rhetoric.

20 Jul 2025

Excerpt: "Japan’s far-right Sanseito party has emerged as a major winner in the country’s upper house election, riding a wave of #nationalist rhetoric, anti-immigration warnings and populist pledges on tax cuts and social welfare.

"Once seen as a fringe movement born on YouTube during the COVID-19 pandemic, Sanseito was projected on Sunday by national broadcaster NHK to secure up to 22 seats in the 248-member chamber, dramatically expanding its presence beyond the single seat it held previously.

"The party, which only holds three seats in the more powerful lower house, has broken into the political mainstream by capitalising on voter frustration over economic decline and rising living costs.

"Sanseito leader #SoheiKamiya, a 47-year-old former English teacher and supermarket manager, has been at the forefront of this shift. He has stirred controversy with conspiracy theories about vaccines and 'globalist elites' and openly credits US President #DonaldTrump’s 'bold political style' as inspiration.

"According to an exit poll by local media, Japan’s governing coalition is likely to lose its majority in the upper house where it is forecast to secure 32 to 51 seats.
#JapanFirst’ movement

"In an interview with Nippon Television after the election, #Kamiya defended his 'Japanese First' slogan.

" 'The phrase was meant to express rebuilding Japanese people’s livelihoods by resisting globalism. I am not saying we should completely ban foreigners or that every foreigner should get out of Japan,' he said.

"Despite his denial of #xenophobia, Sanseito has built its platform on fears of a 'silent invasion' by #immigrants. Political analysts say this message resonates with many Japanese voters facing a stagnant economy and weakening yen, which has drawn record numbers of tourists and fuelled inflation."
