So to recap (July 2022 edition) we got:

- 4th of July shooting in Highland Park + a shooting in Chicago

- anyone with a uterus has less rights than an assault rifle in the U.S.; right-wing Scotus can get hit by a plane

- Edit: Native Americans have been added to the list of people with less right than an assault rifle in the U.S.

- a third of the British Parliament resigning from various government positions cause of how much everyone hates Boris Johnson

- Edit: Boris Johnson has now resigned cause of how much everyone hates Boris Johnson

- Shinzo Abe, former Prime Minister of Japan, got shot while giving a speech

- Edit: *Former Former Prime Minister... he got Lincoln’d

- a far-right French politician accidentally pinned the assassination of Shinzo Abe on popular video game designer Hideo Kojima, which a major Greek news outlet relayed, only furthering the idea that Kojima did it

- the war in Ukraine is still going on

- the state of Canada can be summarized by this image:   https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/862558639735046146/995130724791365652/unkown.png

- Hunter Biden got trending on twitter for the hundredth time and nobody gives a shit seriously who gives a shit conservatives get him trending for literally breathing why is this still happening-

- Edit: ... Users of the well known “incel” website 4chan supposedly hacked the iPhone of U.S. President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden and allegedly exposed the both of them as pedophiles, among many other things. Sweet shitting Christ almighty, if this is true, I have been proven incorrect in possibly the most cursed way imaginable, and it is a testament to my willpower and spite that I have not fallen in alcoholism from this news piece alone 

- Baymax is a Leftist

- the U.S. House Select Committee began holding live public hearings for the January 6 insurrection and no one noticed

- Kazuki Takahashi, the creator of the popular anime and playing card game Yu-Gi-Oh!, passed away (R.I.P., may he finally be free to kick Shinzo Abe’s ass without consequence in that great dueling arena in the sky...)

- the Argentinian economic minister has resigned (an announcement that was made not through any official news outlets, but via a Tweet) following an inflation crisis that is crippling the country, but all you’ll find on Twitter is people excited about the new futbol jersey for the next World Cup (no one is surprised by this)

- Elon Musk backed out of his deal to purchase Twitter for $44 billion; it was believed he didn’t know the meaning of the term “pulling out” so this was quite the surprise

- Edit: Twitter is now suing Elon Musk for not buying Twitter

- the President of Sri Lanka (not to be confused with the Prime Minister, because they apparently have both) pulled a Ted Cruz and has fled the country after citizens stormed the presidential palace in a mass riot following the announcing of the country being officially bankrupt (which the Prime Minister, not to be confused with the President, totally didn’t cause via corruption in office). The citizens involved in the protest then stormed the house of the PM, and took a swim in his pool promptly before sacking and burning the place, thus proving the month of July is truly a Hot Girl Summer

Edit: Both the PM and President of Sri Lanka have agreed to resign their positions; that is two world leader resignations and one former world leader assassination in one week; I now have the sudden urge to drink myself into 2040

[ceilingstar07]

The suspect in a recent explosive attack on Prime Minister Fumio Kishida had sued the Japanese government as he could not run in the upper house election last year, and had criticized the state funeral for former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and politicians' ties with the controversial Unification Church, the Mainichi Shimbun has learned from investigative sources. Ryuji Kimura, a 24-year-old resident of the Hyogo Prefecture city of Kawanishi, was arrested on the spot on suspicion of forcible obstruction of business for throwing an explosive device at Kishida in the city of Wakayama where the prime minister's stump speech for a House of Representatives by-election was scheduled on April 15.[...]

In the brief for his lawsuit, Kimura apparently criticized the Kishida Cabinet's decision to hold a state funeral for Abe, who had been killed in the July 2022 shooting, without going through Diet deliberations, saying that "challenging democracy should not be tolerated." It has also emerged that he had called Abe an "established politician" and claimed that "established politicians have been able to remain legislators because of their collusive relationships with cults and groups with organized votes, such as the former Unification Church," now formally known as the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification.

Personally if my ties with a powerful cult had culminated with attempts on 2 prime ministers lives, id simply cut off all relations with that cult [18 Apr 23]

On one hand, gun control and acts of gun violence are serious issues and no laughing matter, but on the other hand former PM of Japan Shinzo Abe being shot and killed by a homemade sawn-off double barrel shotgun, on the day after UK PM Boris Johnson resigns followed by numerous government officials, is objectively hilarious.

Abe Shinzo shot

While much of the West has been paying attention to the political fiasco that is Boris Johnson, the former Prime Minister of Japan, Abe Shinzo, was shot in Nara Prefecture.

He is still alive (technically) but went into cardiopulmonary arrest; he is listed as being in critical condition right now.

The assailant is a 40-year-old man who was using a homemade gun - Japan has extremely strict gun controls. He did not attempt to flee, but right now no one has given any motive for the attack.

For those who do not know, Japan has a parliamentary system of government. While there is still an Imperial family, their duties are almost entirely ceremonial and they have even less engagement with the government than the British royal family.

Abe was the longest-serving Japanese prime minister, and provided a great deal of stability to a government which tended to discard PMs like used tissue paper. He stepped down in 2020 due to health reasons, but remained as a member of the Diet. He was making a campaign speech when he was shot.

Abe was generally popular, with rightwing policies (but, I should mention - rightwing for Japan, nothing like US politics). His least popular goal was amending article 9 of the Japanese Constitution, which severely limits the Japanese military, but he never succeeded at this.

Again, right now he is alive but in critical condition, and no one has claimed a motive for the gunman..

WHAT IS HAPPENING

WHY DID I HEAR ABOUT THIS FROM TUMBLR I LITERALLY LIVE IN JAPAN

The Yomiuri Shimbun 16:37 JST, July 7, 2023

The suspect indicted over the murder of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe wants no contact with his mother, according to sources. Tetsuya Yamagami has consistently declined offers of detention-house visits from his 70-year-old parent, and has not replied to her letters, the sources said.

Saturday marks one year since Abe was shot and killed while delivering a stump speech in Nara ahead of a House of Councillors election.

Yamagami, 42, is believed to hold a strong grudge against the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification, formerly known as the Unification Church. His mother donated large sums of money to the organization and continues to follow the group.

Abe was slain on a street in front of Yamato-Saidaiji Station on the Kintetsu Railway Line in Nara. The Nara District Public Prosecutors Office indicted Yamagami for murder and other charges in January.

The mother donated a total of around ¥100 million to the Unification Church. Yamagami has been quoted by polices as saying that he resented the religious organization and had targeted Abe due to his perceived ties with the group.

Yamagami, who has been held at the Osaka Detention House in Osaka since February, reportedly reads newspapers and magazines daily, including articles about the Unification Church.

Although he has accepted visits from some of his relatives, he did not meet with his mother when she attempted to visit him — apparently for the first time since his arrest — at the detention facility in April, according to several sources.

People around Yamagami are said to have told him that his mother continues to believe in the faith. He is said to have stated that even if he were to meet his mother, she would merely tell him that the religious group is righteous.

The mother reportedly said she wanted to meet her son and restore their parent-child relationship, and that she has not been able to fully explain her faith to her him.

According to relatives, the mother, who joined the Unification Church in 1991, donated money to the church by selling land and her house. She declared voluntarily bankruptcy in 2002. Yamagami is said to have given up on a college education due the consequent lack of family cash.

Sources said that Yamagami attempted suicide in 2005 in a bid to secure insurance money for his brother and sister, but that his mother, who was working for the religious group in South Korea, did not return to Japan at the time.
