422 The Deepening Darkness

“The Deepening Darkness”

Japan is in peril today.
Anyone with a keen eye can sense it.
The darkness is gradually thickening.

The news the mass media presents,
Seems to have a completely controlled and intentional agenda.
NHK and commercial media outlets use the same single entity as their source for information.
Democracy is based on correct information.
If the information is fake, democracy has already collapsed.

Government policies are also dictatorial and hypocritical.
Unscientific responses to new coronavirus variants,
The forced passage of the LGBT bill by the Liberal Democratic Party,
The semi-mandatory enforcement of the My Number Card,
The return of South Korea to the “whitelist” as a preferred trade partner,
And the resumption of currency swaps between the two countries.
All of these policies ignore the will of the people.
This seems almost like National Socialism.

A nation is a reflection of the collective consciousness of its citizens.
It is the citizens that are responsible for bad governance.
The main cause is apathy towards politics.
It’s a convenient situation for politicians,
They can do as they please.

In a democracy, it is the citizens who choose politicians.
Do not choose politicians who prioritize popularity and vested interests.
Instead, choose ones who prioritize the citizens and the national interest.
Choose ones who are not swayed by changing tides and do not betray justice,
Politicians are elected by the people.

Currently, voter turnout for national elections in Japan is in the 50% range.
About half the population does not vote.
People’s apathy toward politics is destroying the country.
The only ones who can illuminate the deepening darkness in Japan,
Are its people.

「深まる闇」

感性が鋭い人であれば
今の日本の危うさを感じているだろう
その闇は徐々に濃くなっている

マスコミで報道されるニュースは
完全にコントロールされた意図を感じる
NHKも民放もニュースソースは金太郎飴
民主主義は正しい情報の元に成り立つ
情報が捏造なら民主主義は既に崩壊している

政府の政策も独裁的で偽善的だ
新型コロナの非科学的な対策対応
自民党によるLGBT法案の強制可決
マイナンバーカードの半強制執行
韓国のホワイト国復帰と通貨スワップ再開
いずれも民意を無視した政策だ
これはまるで国家社会主義ではないか

国とは国民の心が反映した姿
悪政が蔓延っているのは国民の責任なのだ
その主な原因は政治への無関心
政治家にとっては何とも都合のいい状況
やりたい放題と言っていい

民主主義では政治家を選ぶのは国民だ
人気取りや利権を優先する政治家ではなく
国民と国益を第一として考える政治家
易きに流されず正義を裏切らない政治家
それは選挙によって選ばれるのだ

今の日本は国政選挙の投票率が50%台
約半分の国民が投票に行っていない
国民の政治への無関心が国を滅ぼす
深まる闇に光を照らすのは
他でもない国民なのだ
