First the Moonies and now this? Japan really needs to start doing something about cancerous cults coming from abroad. They have enough crazies as it is.
QAnon must really resonate with fucking idiots, and let's be real, the world is full of them. >

Holy shit those nut jobs are over there too >

Of course. Japan is famous for having stupid fringe ideologies run amok (conspiracy nutjobs, fucked up sects and cults, and various related extremists etc).
Aum Shinrikyo, Pana-Wave Laboratory, Happy Science, ESP Kagaku Kenkyuujo, World Mate, Räelism, Scientology, Jehova's Witnesses, Ho No Hana Sanpogyo, Sukyo Mahikari, Shinji Shumeikai, Mahikari, Unification Church, Zenrinkyo, Makuya, Kurozumikyou, etc to just mention a very small fraction of them. >


The group’s manifesto and website reflect the baseless conspiracy theory it stemmed from, saying it aimed to protect people from Satanists and the Illuminati – and that it respected former US President Donald Trump.

Insane how effective right wing American propaganda can be. Their country gets literally nuked and half a century later they willingly expose themselves to a disease, because the same country that nuked them told them it’s better than getting vaccinated. >

The reality is, because of large underlying social problems like unaffordable housing and a massive mental health crisis, the entire west is extremely vulnerable to conspiracy theories like qanon. Depressed, unmotivated, and disillusioned are the ones most vulnerable to conspiracy, and the above mentioned social problems breed all of those problems.
