RE: Draconian Japan: New Legislation Makes Nearly Anyone a "Terrorist."
It's even more absurd that this happens in such a tame place as Japan.
Are there large movements forming against this like when they changed the constitution?
Yes. As a matter of fact, I walked past a protest on Wednesday and thought "what's that about?" Now I know. Even protest, though, is still pretty tame here.
The people here would be fine on their own. There is such a strong sense of community and also independence. It's a shame so many think oppressive government like this is "just how it has to be."
Yes. I think that a big part of my faith in human potential and the self regulating nature of community comes from living in Japan for so long.
I like that tame-ness when it isn't indifferent. If they actual care and organize on a large scale around this issue I will have to try and find a way to save up money to go over and share ideas
