World News@lemmy.world•Foreign business owners face frantic scramble to leave Japan amid tighter visa rulesEnglish
221·22 days agoThe right wing populist party sanseito and rise of populist policies is also driven by younger voters (below 50) in Japan. For those who don’t follow Japanese politics closely, the Liberal Democratic Party has been in power for decades and moves in what ever direction it needs to to maintain power. Far right Sanseito influenced Japanese politices enough since 2020 to push Japan in that direction, because the LDP just absorbs the platform of contenders.
Disenfranchised voters below 50 in a country that’s be stagnant or declining for 35 years. Not just elderly like you might think. Now the boogeyman scapegoat is foreigners.

"The speech of the party is emotionally rather than logically appealing. Therefore, they appeal to the sensibilities of the politically inexperienced and have increased their support.
According to Japanese political analyst Hiroo Hagino, the party is supported by the younger population, who have become disappointed with politics centred on the elderly. According to a JNN survey, a higher proportion of young people voted for Sanseitō in the last election than other demographics. Some Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) officials expressed worry that they might lose votes because both parties have conservative policies. Most of the Sanseitō voters did not support the Kishida government. The appeal of Sanseitō among young people is partly linked to the social crisis Japan is currently experiencing. Growing inequality due to slowing growth since the 1990s and persistent inflation, which is eroding purchasing power, have dampened the hopes for the future of younger generations, many of whom do not have permanent jobs."

World News@lemmy.world•Hardliner conservative Sanae Takaichi becomes Japan’s first female leaderEnglish
22·8 months agoShe has openly aspired to be like Margaret Thatcher, the first woman to become British prime minister – known as the “Iron Lady,” a nickname that has since been used for Takaichi herself.
That being said, if you go back 100 years, Japan has only had 7 or so prime ministers that lasted 3 or more years. Most last 1-2 years or less. I’m not sure how much she can change, but its worth watching what new coalitions form with the LDP and also the rise of Sanseito (MAGA inspired Japanese-First party) in future elections.

Also GrapheneOS but not sure how far along any of this is: “We plan to partner with OEMs to have devices produced meeting all our requirements, providing additional privacy/security features beyond them and ideally shipping with GrapheneOS rather than massively lowering our standards.”
Edit: here’s a recent post from GrapheneOS from August 2025:
