My question to younger Japanese: What immigrants? You're one of the least immigrant friendly nations on Earth.

A 19-year-old woman who attends a vocational school in Wakayama Prefecture became a supporter because of the party's proposal for the "liberalization of mask wearing" in the 2022 House of Councillors election as official COVID-19 policy.

And seriously? You're famous for wearing masks before Covid, but now it's suddenly an issue? What alt-media are these clowns consuming.

the most anti-immigration people are often the ones who haven't met an immigrant in their life. this is how right-wing scaremongering works, they exploit people's unfamiliarity with the topic to convince them it's somehow a threat to them
