Easily the most effective assassin in recent history. He had a goal, his plan was to kill former PM, and his goal was… achieved?
Kudos.
Also, Shinzo-Abe was a genocide apologist from a family of war criminals. So, I sincerely mean kudos.
His grandfather was a Class A war criminal.
His dad trained as a kamikaze pilot, but the war ended before he got to compete a mission. Real shame.
Edit: here’s some extra bonus points:
- He didn’t kill anyone else
- Unification Church (Moonies) are a really disgusting and terrible organization.
- Shinzo-Abe was a real piece of shit. Please lookup just his education “reforms”, and that’s just the fraction of his bad acts.
Recent history? I’ve never even heard of anything like this in all of human history.
Assassin kills a prominent leader. Public opinion for leader falls and people tend to side with the assassin. Government makes reforms to achieve assassin’s goals. Name one other case like that.
Maybe the French Revolution, but that was a large group of people, not one assassin completely changing public opinion for an entire movement.
I meant the impact, or effect, not the intent.
Because as far as impact, Archduke Ferdinand, might want a word.
But yes, I agree with everything you said, with just with one big caveat: I’m not a historian.
If there’s something to mourn, I’d say the lost oppurtunity to have him procetuted (there was a trial about financial fraud at that time).
Incredible that the Japanese government effectively sided with a presidential assassin’s cause.
it helps the public response to the assasination was akin to “well he’s got a point”
Two things can be true at once.
Well, the guy is in jail for what he did, and as bad as his action was the government can’t just ignore the issues he uncovered.
Dude is one of the most successful assassins of all time, not only did he eliminate his target the response was exactly what he hoped to achieve
More like: wow, a rational response!
Just because someone delivers a message badly doesn’t mean the message is incorrect.

I wonder how the assassin is feeling about things right now? Wild story.
Do major religions next!
So does this solely affect tax status? Or does it mean that they must also divest corporate assets (real estate, vehicles, investments, etc.)? What are the practical effects of this action?
