Trump humiliates his own country as well as any that associate with them on a daily bassis.
Does that count?
You beat me to it. I’ve seen many clowns in politics, but none came even close to the level of Trump and his army of incels. Makes the future portrayed in the movie Idiocracy far too optimistic.
When ever the comparison to Idiocracy is made I feel the need to point out that in the movie they actively sought out someone smarter than them to help solve their problem. While in real life they actively seek out sycophants no matter how dumb they are because they don’t want to solve any problem.
I would love for an Idiocracy style outcome because I feel you are right, it would be way more optimistic than our current situation.

Yeah, that’s exactly what I meant when I said “it’s far too optimistic”.
Though they nailed the corporate greed, ads everywhere and people unable to perform simple cognitive skills (what’s happening with kids these days as they don’t develop that skill because they use AI for that in school).
I remember seeing all the ads around the screen while watching “ow my balls” and thinking it was absurdly exaggerated. But now youtube/tiktok exist and they seemingly took their playbook from that movie.
I’d like to point out that Japanese politicians do the same thing at Yasukuni Shrine for their own fallen soldiers (including several war criminals) because that’s what you do in Shintō if you don’t want a bunch of people who died violent deaths to become angry kami who destroy your country. It regularly causes outrage in neighbouring countries.
Edit: clarity
Oh, this? It’s my shrine to the fallen Waffen SS soldiers that I pray to so they don’t become angry ghosts. Yes, it has to have a swastika and a copy of the Mein Kampf, how else are the ghosts going to know it’s their shrine? No I’m not a Nazi, I just wear the uniform and do the arm thing when I’m praying.
Yep, same thing, zero difference, excellent cultural analysis, good job. ( ˘ ³˘)
I mean she also likes to visit shrines honoring war criminals in her own country. Though to be fair she skipped this year after becoming PM
Maybe she just respects the killing innocent people game and doesn’t care about which team the person is on.
Respectable people acting in a respectful manner.
Who’d thave thought?

Is there a single leader anywhere in the world more dedicated to national humiliation than Takaichi Sanae?
That’s an interesting point…
& given her political-alignment, … worrisome.
What’s here goal, then??
What removal-of-progressive-something is it she’s investing-in?
When is that plan’s ripening going to be torpedoing Japan’s worth?
How?
