the Japanese state doesn’t want to ban the death penalty for the same reason why it celebrates the genocides it committed against its neighbors. it’s a very useful tool to keep people passive against its abuses
fun fact: the japanese death row inmates only get 1-2 hours notice of their execution. They wake up every morning not knowing if today is the day they die. I think that’d be so torturous.
That is a few people not the entire nation. There are also 25% supporting fashists and nazis in germany, brits that support their empire, russians that also want stalin back, that is different than state supported things like that like in all of china enjoying propaganda against japan, america and south korea from childhood, or in USA where they teach slavery being a good thing and not killing the natives
ask the average Japanese what they think should be done about the Korean minority of Japan and there you have your answer. xenophobia and chauvinism is commonplace, the fascist PM wouldn’t have won the election otherwise
You’d think it would involve katanas and beheading or something like you’d see in the movies. Nope, hanging. The Japanese death penalty is typically hanging. Wild, I know. No swords involved. Sorry if this ruins your Monday. I know I was disappointed. Sometimes movies lie, though.
Death Note would have a gash plot if Japan didn’t like a bit of punishment that wasn’t compatible with life.
Admittedly, I’d be much more likely to write in the Inconvenient Note so arseholes would find themselves wearing wet socks every day; encounter people who never finish their sentences; have to find a towel lying about the house before showering; or have every underfoot surface feel like a box of Lego.
Seems like the dudes in favor of the death penalty seem to be the usual suspects… And then there’s Japan, who straight up went
for no discernible fuckin reason LOL

That’s the prime minister, the head of government.
Japan is a country that frequently practices the death penalty.
Really? I did not know that. Gotta look into that

I didnt know japan still had the death penalty in the first place
I’d think that a country that is extremely safe wouldn’t need it anyways…
