Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

They must be getting spooked by all the public admiration and sympathy for the assassin, which doesn't seem to be fading away at all.

A few months ago the prison where he's being held had to ask the public to stop sending him snacks since he can't eat so much and he doesn't have anywhere to store them in his cell.

Doesn't hurt that the LDP also fumbled really hard handling Abe's funeral and alienated a lot of fence sitters.

Do their prisons not have any sort of barter system? Can he not simply share his snacks and become the most popular prisoner? (If he wasn't already)

I used to be a skeptic on the whole "maker movement" thing, but now I firmly believe that more people ought to enjoy DIY projects.

I would also like to thank Shinzo Abe, without who nothing would have been possible

Love you big man (now that you are dead)

Direct action gets the goods

Judging by the success of this, more people in Japan should do assassinations.

Has anyone tried to figure out why this one worked? I know its too close to the event to really analyze it, but how did it galvanize the public in such a way? Is this type of thing repeatable?
