Japanese government dismantles freedom of the press
Neo-nationalism seems to be on the rise everywhere. Look at the UK (Scotland trying to secede, the crazy extreme right-wing party getting seats in Parliament, etc.), France (the National Front did very well in recent elections), South Korea (IIRC, textbooks are edited to replace history with nationalist propaganda), Israel, Turkey, Russia, China, Donald Trump, etc. etc.<p>When is the last time you heard someone stand up and point out how dangerous nationalism is, how it&#x27;s historically led to wars, massacres, and other oppression and brutality. I suspect the public, hearing no criticism or counterpoints, goes along with the nationalists.<p>Where are the liberal and moderate conservative elite? Asleep at the wheel? Cowed? Complacent?
