An assistant professor at one of the most prestigious universities in the U.S. has said that the “clear solution” to Japan’s aging society is for “mass suicide and mass ‘seppuku’ (ritual disembowelment) of the elderly”.

    Actual Japanese here, even within the dark humor context, I wholeheartedly agree with Yusuke Narita.

    It’s precisely the gerontocracy in Japan why the nation is heading extremely far right. The aging oppressive population needs to retire, vacate, and leave the younger generation capable of making their choices. We are the lowest GDP first nation because of elders oppressing.

    I’m glad Yusukeさん is in the 🇺🇲, but I’m afraid he’ll be deathcamped soon.

    I’m thankful 28 folks read the article correctly. Fuck oppression.

      I know this is meant to be a joke but it is incentive.

        Were you meaning “pertinent” or “appropriate”? Incentive has always been a noun in my experience.

    Aren’t we all committing mass suicide already tho? I mean, have you looked at earth lately? I mean I want to kill myself as much as the next person, maybe more, but if we are ranking demographics that should go first, my vote is for the rich not just the elderly

      Your comment made me so sad that we kinda are in a more capitalist way.

      We’re withholding meds from old people by taking away their health insurance, not giving them any income, and pushing them into the street.

      In the US, Social Security benefits is from $553-$943.

      Boy we are so fucked.
