    Google is not the arbiter of knowledge, but the combined search engines are certainly a decent indexer of it. To claim something is ‘common knowledge’ when we’re unable to find a hint of it anywhere online, and is based solely on something you read a couple decades ago, is pretty ridiculous.

    Honestly if it was something you read 20 years ago and there’s nothing about it to be found today, there’s a chance it was nothing but racist nonsense. (Not saying you’re racist or anything, just that the source might have been and you got taken in).

    Japan “is heading for an economic and fiscal catastrophe, but Takaichi doesn’t seem to understand it,” Koichi Nakano, a professor of political science at Sophia University in Tokyo, observed last Thursday. He warned political spectrum was shifting to the right and predicted that Takaichi’s “bet” to “personalize politics” and “create a system for which she is barely accountable” would likely win. He was alarmed by Takaichi’s intention to cut consumption taxes while simultaneously increasing defense spending, which would in turn “antagonize China and militarize the tension.” What’s more, Tokyo has agreed with Trump to invest $550 billion in the United States. “It doesn’t make much sense in terms of security and economic policy,” said Nakano.
