Warum versenden sowohl die LDP als auch die Sanseito-Partei Ausgrenzungsbotschaften gegenüber ausländischen Einwohnern? Ein altgedienter Politiker enthüllt die traurige Wahrheit: „Eine ausländerfeindliche Politik ist beliebt.“

I hope „weak yen“ or „downfall economy“ will also be popular then. Why not? Too harsh maybe? Well, at least we won’t be there anymore so everyone will be happy, right? \s
I just can’t keep up with this, seriously. No matter the country, you can count competent politicians with sense of pride in what they do on one hand at best.
People love to scapegoat.
Yeah, that is the sad truth that some try to avoid. The drivers of anti foreigner policies in Japan are not Sanseito or the LDP, it sadly is the Japanese population itself. In a democracy politicians, for better or worse, are supposed reflect and act on the popular will. And they do in this case.
The Japanese population will have to experience a Japan with no immigration, like not enough nurses, no farm workers, no workers in aged care and then maybe the popular opinion will change. But sadly that will take it’s time.
The thing about the illegal aliens messaging is that a racist government can create them with a stroke of the pen. They create the problem in the first place to use a political chip to get people to vote for them.
I can see them allowing Romani and Manouche Gypsies into the country just so they can get on the soapbox and complain about them
Was out for dinner with this week and the conversation got to the COL and all the salary deductions and I got an incredulous “ You pay the PENSION?“ This isn’t even an anti-foreign person, but it made we wonder how many more have no clue that the legal immigrant community contributes just as much as they do each month.
…there needed to be a whole article to explain this!?
we knew this lol… how is this news
Wages have stagnated in Japan for thirty years, social insurance keeps climbing, rents are up, services feel squeezed. That pressure is real and Japanese peoples lives suck now and the government and ruling class doesnt want the people rightly blaming them for how much it sucks.
Keidanren and the LDP have spent decades suppressing wages and importing cheap labour through the technical intern and specified skilled worker schemes, precisely to stop a shrinking workforce from translating into higher pay. Japanese workers and foreign workers are being exploited by the same class.
But neither the LDP nor Sanseito can name that, because it implicates their own funders and their own governing logic. So the anger gets redirected downward. The foreigner becomes the stand-in for the boardroom. It costs companies nothing, requires no redistribution, and as the politician admits, it polls.
That is why it is popular. Not because it is true, but because it is the one explanation the ruling class is willing to let the working class believe.
Punching down at invented boogeymen is easier than doing the work of making a better society.
