This is a classic western misinterpretation of East Asia. If you actually read Japanese history you would know that the Japanese have a vibrant and deep history of assassinating their Leaders.
Whether they are a leftist sympathizer, union leader, or simply not fascist enough, there are plenty of traditional and culturally appropriate ways to assassinate the leaders of Japan.
It's amazing. By utilizing the time honored technique of "korosu", this skill has been passed down from generation to generation. People don't seem to have enough respect for tradition.
Exactly. Instead you'll be rewarded with a paid vacation, and then either moved to a new station to continue your spree, promoted for your efforts, or be allowed to retire early with full benefits
Oh really? In Lithuania, murder is also illegal. It traces back from the spoken tradition of the ancestors. Some recent analysis has found traces of this social ban in 800 years old folk tale, Spruce the Queen of Serpents, in which, as a punishment for murder, the killers were turned into trees. It is weird how Lithuanian culture shares similarities with the Japanese! There must have been cultural connections at some point in time...
I know you yanks like to go around shooting each other, but if you absolutely must challenge someone to a duel - do be so kind as to use your sword instead.
Now I am worried I might have committed a faux pas unknowingly. I mean, they are so polite they won't point it out. So now I am sitting here, years later, wondering if I might have, you know, murdered someone in Japan.

Whereas in the US, assassinating presidents used to be the fifth most popular sport.
That is also a faux pas in the United States, it's overly formal and the preferred vernacular is "GET ON THE GROUND, BOY! STOP RESISTING!"
“He’s reaching for my gun!”
*"*GOUGE HIS EYES!"

Several other countries as a matter of fact, cops be cops after all!
Umm the politically correct phrase is ACAB
In Africa, every 60 seconds, a minute passes.
What about millions of years in the future if africa shifts towards the north/south pole?
Won't change when the night arrives. Might change the LENGTH of days, but at the end of them it'll still be night
Together we can stop this
Found the time cube zealot.
Spread the word!
If humanity continues on the current path, billions of people will die in the next century.
Unless we invent extreme life extension and make it available to everyone and they all want it, yeah, that's guaranteed, current path or no
They didn't say it'd be different if we weren't on the current path.
In Germany, it is tradition to end the day with the closing of one's eyes, and start the next with opening them.
Cops in Africa pull over more black people than white people.

The languages also both have a word for "three". Proto-world confirmed?
I think it has something to do with the westward movement of the Mongolian tribes
What are the other four? WHAT ARE THE OTHER FOUR?!
now we're gonna need someone to install twitter and tell us what the rest is as quick as possible
Seems the account got deleted or something. It's now named SUPER CHAT and has no posts or replies.

Many of us on Lemmy have Kitanas hanging on our wall, so totally ready.
Why is she hanging on your wall? Tell her to get down and act more human if she doesn't want to stand out
Mine's just a longsword sitting on top of my desk...
I really want to know what the other four things are. Not enough to go look, but enough to complain here.
If I can't do any of my favorite murders then what's the point of traveling? Stupid woke Japanese ruin everything.
Aww shoot! My vacation is ruined!
The rest of us are so used to murdering people every day. I never would have thought about it!
I guess I can stop murdering for a little bit while in Japan. If you insist.
He can have a little murder as a treat

I for one think more countries should make this very illegal.
That murdering you've been doing? Not okay
Well there go my holiday plans...
This is one of my favorite Japan related shitposts
Man, talk about culture shock!
That's news to me. Everyone here murders people, I thought it was legal everywhere! I mean, you just kill people, not that big of a deal.
/s
What? Sounds like a stupid fucking concept.
Racist.
Fox pass. O wait... Nevermind.
"Sorry, ma'am, we're gonna need to see the pass for your fox here before we let you through."
