        He also was being critical towards Zelensky and Ukraine for entering to NATO in that last speech.

        Man, is it bad that I am not feeling like ‘hooray’ for this nor any death at all? I mean, I’m not sad at all, just like if a random pedestrian I know nothing of, died overrun, but I feel that no death is satisfactory nor anything of the like, and I’m like having a little of cognitive dissonance for being remotely compassionate from later years…

          I actually feel more or less the same (some memes will happen regardless ofc). He was just completeley replaceable. Bourgeoisie politicians, even worst ones like Raegan or Thatcher or Wałęsa, while fully responsible for their deeds, are just a tools of the ruling class and if they disappear they will be replaced by another, there’s always more from where they came from.

          Also, individual terror is counterproductive, even if it was against someone with real power.

          • It makes me feel better to know that understanding circumstances do actually work in a way of being more compassionate and feeling more humane. I am seeing a lot of people like celebrating X deaths in ways that they make me cringe in a “woah, angst edgy” and not just for Abe, but in general. The best thing I ever heard was when the DDR instead of killing all nazis basically reeducated them and gave them another chance as human beings, and fuck, now I’m too soft for this shit, specially when I know that years ago I was a reactionary piece of shit because where I was born and the people I met, and still changed… I can’t simply rejoice in the death of no one, comrade… I just can’t.

            Yeah, a random political assassination of a prominent figure isn’t good for the country, even if said figure was a monster. It just opens the door for more chaos, conspiracy theories, and propaganda fodder against AES.

        • I’d assume not rejoicing when a person dies, even if they’re someone you believe is a bad person, is pretty normal

          If it’s someone I really despise, I might have a brief spike of happiness before realizing that their death likely won’t have any effect on the system

            I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t eagerly waiting to see Blair, Bush and Kissinger kick the bucket. It may not change anything but I don’t want to share the same planet as those monsters.

            • I understand it, really. But would you rather see them sincerely apologize and denounce what they did, or to die before they can? Just asking in good faith, comrade.

                There is nothing they can do to make up for what they did, millions of lives destroyed and nations ruined in the name of greed and power. These people are irredeemable, even if they were sincere, it means nothing, a sincere apology won’t bring back the dead children. Some things cannot be forgiven.

                • I would improson them somehow in a way that helps the cause and not letting them to partake of the benefits a normal citizen would or something, tho…

          I guess it depends on how much you hate the person, as a javanese-korean i am in a state of utter euphoria knowing that living sack of shit got atleast 10% of what he deserves.

          • I know what you mean. I come from a family were a lot died in concentration camps due to they being suspected of being either commies or Jews, and rejoiced as fuck to everyone that could be related to their deportation and consequently their assassination, but as of now… I can’t, I simply I’m unable to rejoice at it, since what I really wanted is for that for never happened… Not saying you shouldn’t feel relieved by Abe’s death, even if he wasn’t a direct responsable for that, he carried a legacy where he could have choiced the correct option of making Japan recognize the atrocities and retire all the monuments, etc. That’s just how I’m going now.

    Yes, the CPC gave two iron poles sticked with tape to some dude to kill Abe, typical blackop.

  • Imagine thinking blaming China for this changes ANYTHING about the apparent trajectory of tensions.

    Like god damn. You got the whole of western society ready to go full death cult.

    At this point, you could blame China for anything and folks will believe it and want war.

    Charlie… You messy heaux; the west cant consent to their destruction any more than they are now. We are maxed out.

      The Western ruling class is legit hysterical over China. The US and it’s allies won’t be happy until they’ve provoked China into retaliation.
