        The cancellation of the Aichi Triennale 2019 exhibit “After ‘Freedom of Expression?’” is about #FreedomOfSpeech in #Japan But it touches upon the #ComfortWomen issue I recommend watching "Shusenjo: The Main Battleground of the Comfort Women Issue"https://youtu.be/OtNuze8mNUQ

        オランダはかわいそうな被害者ではありません。 350年間、強盗としてインドネシアに居座っていたら、新たに日本軍という強盗が来て殴られた、それだけの事です。 日本は中韓、東南アジアには誠心誠意謝罪するべきだが、欧州に対しては「お前が正義の味方ぶるな」と返すのみで良いと思います。

        It is true that foreign correspondents in Tokyo are second rated... Just passing on the left wing propaganda without even verifying nor investigating the facts. Such an easy job. Wake up!!

        And did you know that they are screening a film at the exhibition, in which the Showa Emeror’s picture is burned by a gas burner and it’s ashes stamped on? This exhibition is funded by our public money. How arrogant of you to shame Japanese.https://twitter.com/jocx_tv_kawada_/status/1157553747393781761?s=21 …

        And this is the hand gestures made by the governor of Aichi prefecture hosting the Trienniale 2019, and the director of the exhibition, the far-left activist Daisuke Tsuda. V signs with their palm inward. You know what it means.https://twitter.com/ohmura_hideaki/status/1156575238076846091?s=21 …
