This story is like if Hide and Creed had a baby
"EXtrEmisM" he seemes to have been in a relatively semi dogmatic anarcho kinda group
I feel like a group that does multiple bombings count as extremist, but maybe that's just me
Yeah, I'm pretty left leaning, but these guys basically said "You Mitsubishi laborers work for a colonialist corporation, therefore you're fair game." That's beyond fucked.
Are those labourers in some minute way culpable for the evils perpetrated by their employers? Sure, I could see an argument for that. After all, they freely chose (or at least as freely as one can choose in a society where labour is compelled for those with little money) to sell their labor. Is that commensurate with death? No way in hell.
The second you consider a plan involving injuring blue collar workers who are just trying to make ends meet, it's time to rethink your philosophy.
"I disagree with McDonalds' business practices, so I shot the kid behind the counter at my local franchise."
Didn't it say no one was injured in the attack he did?
Usually the kind of guys that support this kind of crap usually align pretty darn well with the kind of guys that think that “the revolution must be protected at any cost”
If it's not being done on a snowboard, a skateboard, or a surfboard I don't want to see "extreme" being thrown around.
No no no, that's X-treme. Totally different thing.
Whoa what a reaction. I wasn't going for validating what they did by criticizing the replacement of information about their political ideas and actions with the word "extremism". But that seems exactly how people understand the term. As if there was a righteous or acceptable "middle" the degree of deviance signified how good or what smth is... The political compass needs to know what things are about, not how "x-treme" they are.
Or we need to use that term on any bombing of people, like for example "the extremism of [any us president]". Step 2 would be picturing what benefit that would add to the conversation
They bombed people.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
He told them he had terminal cancer and wanted to die under his real name, Satoshi Kirishima, instead of his alias, and disclosed previously unknown details about the bombings, police said.
“We believe that the man who died at the hospital after claiming to be Satoshi Kirishima was actually the suspect,” National Police Agency chief Yasuhiro Tsuyuki said Thursday.
Born in 1954, Kirishima was a university student in Tokyo when he became involved in extremism and joined the East Asia Anti-Japan Armed Front, a militant group that carried out a series of bombings targeting major Japanese companies in the 1970s.
He was wanted on charges of setting off a timebomb in a building in Tokyo’s upmarket Ginza district in April 1975 in which no one was injured.
While on the run, Kirishima did not have a mobile phone or health insurance and had his salary paid in cash to avoid detection, according to NHK public television.
On Friday, police investigators raided a construction company where he had worked using the alias Hiroshi Uchida for about 40 years, NHK and other media said.
