Of course politicians use every bit they can in order to divide and obtain votes. No one said in the japanese news that the attacker was a leftis or rightist, but hey free publicity. I really hate that there is a far right/far left in politics, why does it have to be just one or the other?
Sorry for this little rant but once I saw that he used photos of Kojima I just.... I'm trying to imagine how he found those images, like did he google search "japanese man 40 years far left"? It baffles me how this could be an accident Edit: the fact that he used this type of propaganda for his benefit after the tragic death of Shinzo Abe is repulsive, you can hate a politician, his movement and his views but at the end of the day it's a life, a tragedy and taking advantage of this situation just sickens me |

I don't care what his position is, Rieu needs to grow up and stop twisting the narratives towards his own benefit. People are fed up with sweeping allegations.

It wouldn't be hard to imagine a Hideo Kojima game where the Prime Minister of Japan is assassinated, and it turns out in a twist at the end, that it was actually Hideo Kojima.

I've seen plenty of people saying the shooter was far-right as well by basis of him having served 3 years in the Japan's Maritime Self-Defense Force, as only far-right people join the military apparently. Everyone uses national tragedies for their own political gain all the time and will continue to do so. |

I saw Kojima trending on Twitter earlier today, and was baffled when I found out why. Fact-checking literally takes a few minutes, yet people can't even be bothered to do that.

Doesn't matter who got pointed(famous or not) at. When it's the wrong person an apology is due.

I caught word of Abe's assassination off of Google News today and felt discernibly saddened by the tragedy. I'm glad, however, that I checked Google News before ANN because I can now enjoy this post's absurd hilarity (or hilarious absurdity? whichever) with a clean conscience.

Hey, if you can show evidence of a story of a far-left politician incorrectly identifying Hideki Kamiya or somebody as a political assassin, I'm sure ANN would run an interest piece on it. |
