A Thatcherite East Asian woman who like metal. Congrats Sanae Takaichi. You are my hero.

QuoteAs a young woman in the late 1970s, Sanae Takaichi commuted six hours a day by bus and train from her parents' home in western Japan to attend university. She was a fan of heavy metal music and Kawasaki motorcycles who yearned to move out. But her mother insisted at first that she stay home, forbidding her from living in a boardinghouse before marriage.

"I dreamed of having my own castle," Ms. Takaichi wrote in a 1992 memoir.

On Tuesday, Ms. Takaichi won election as Japan's prime minister, the first woman to do so in the nation's history. It was the pinnacle of an improbable rise in politics and a milestone in a country where women have long struggled for influence.

Ms. Takaichi, 64, who grew up near the ancient Japanese capital of Nara, defies easy labels. She once spoke bluntly about the challenges of working in politics as a woman in Japan, yet she is now the leader of the traditionalist, male-dominated Liberal Democratic Party. She has expressed concern about Japan's reliance on the United States, but has also said she hopes to work closely with President Trump. She is an amateur drummer who idolizes bands like Iron Maiden and Deep Purple, yet she also wears blue suits to pay homage to her other hero, the former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher.

Ms. Takaichi, a protégée of Shinzo Abe, Japan's longest-serving prime minister, who was assassinated in 2022, is expected to move Japan farther to the right, responding to a recent populist wave that bears some similarities to Mr. Trump's MAGA movement. She has embraced hawkish policies on China; pushed the message that "Japan is back"; played down Japan's atrocities during World War II; and promised to more strictly regulate immigration and tourism.

"She wants to make Japan strong and prosperous for the people of Japan and for the world," said Yoshiko Sakurai, a prominent journalist and activist who has supported Ms. Takaichi. "She is open to the outside world. But she also understands that we have to be really good Japanese. We have to know our own culture, traditions, philosophy and history."

I am one quarter Japanese, but I don't know much about Japan. I am more interested in the three quarters of me that is German.

I wish her all the success in the world tackling Japan's litany of problems. BUT, the prime minister of Japan is not the same as the prime minister of Canada. In Canada it as an all powerful position much more powerful than the POTUS in the U.S.

The new pm of Japan cannot rule as a dictator like Trudeau and Carney. She must seek consensus or her party will dispatch her in favour of a more compliant leader. That is the reality of Japanese politics. In some ways it is better than Canada, but it means a pm is a puppet.

Best of luck to her.  I hope her policies get under the skin of all libtards everywhere.

I know how hard it is for any Japanese leader to make any real change. Still I hope she can do that.

I gotta kid that speaks, reads, and writes Jap! FACT!

Did he take an East studies program in university? How did he learn Japanese?

I can speak intermediate level Japanese Lokmar.....as well as Mandarin, Taiwanese and some Dutch.

Quote from: DKG on November 24, 2025, 07:14:36 AMDid he take an East studies program in university? How did he learn Japanese?

Actually, no. I keep telling him he needs to go get a credit for it. He mostly learned from internet sources and he met a few people that spoke it that helped him along. I cant remember what N level he is but he's way beyond the first 2 levels available at the local university.

Awesome! I admire people who are multi lingual!

That pm has a lot more power than people think Shen Li Shen.

'Carry Trade'. Go look it up.

Even your fellow Singaporean & millionaire Sean Foo refers to it as a potentially earth shattering (7:00 minutes of video)


If this PM gets the bank governor ta pull the trigger on interest rates, watch out. It could send stock markets & the world economy reeling everywhere. That could impact your investments & everyone else too Shen.

She's got a lotta clout & she knows it. So do nations dependent 9n the carry trade as well.

Carry Trade is likely the big reason Trump is cozying up to Japan, saying nice things about them.

Pussycat, remember what I told you last night after we had sex last night about derailing threads. it is not how you get people to interact with you.

Tell your boyfriend that spamming/derailing threads is in violation of the rules. If he continues to do it his posts will be deleted. I would move them to another thread, but I don't know how to do that.

And yet threads are derailed all the time. It's a line item in my upcoming December Forum Inspection Report.

One such example is Herman's incessant posting of fat chicks on unrelated threads.

There is a difference when it happens organically. Joe is a seventy five year old troll who gets his jollies from derailing discussions.

Ah, that makes perfect sense.

Organically derailed threads differ from non organically derailed threads and are permitted.

Thanks for clarifying that.

I'm deeply sorry that life in Canada scarred you so deeply Shen Li Shen & you have grown to hate White people so much.

Your hatred & envy of White Women is evident.

You may not like my opinions because they don't fit your narrative. However I don't shy away from criticism of politicians I voted for or are more aligned with my political persuasion.

Ie - I was critical of both Biden, Trudeau & thought both should have been replaced much sooner.

And I agreed with your criticism of NDP Premier David Eby & his handling of that Cowichan land claim affair. And I voted for the guy. I'm also inclined to believe that he might have difficulty getting elected another term.

So I don't make up or ignore facts just because they don't fit my narrative DKG DKG.

I know free speech hurts & is a difficult concept for ya'll to grasp on the Blue Cashew. But it seems to exist on the BF & VF forums.

Quote from: JOE on November 27, 2025, 07:46:36 AMMeanwhile halfway around the world thousands of Ukrainians have lost their lives in a brutal war & lost all of their possessions. Many children have died there or have lost parents in that War.

And still these whiners on the Blue Cashew complain that they have it so bad in Canada. Wahhh!Sob!

That's the way it is everywhere. You got people complaining that someone parked too close to their car in a shopping mall and they could have scratched it, meanwhile across the world 10,000 people get wiped out in a typhoon.

Everything is relative.

You SHOULD be worried! If he ever ACTUALLY shows up and throws himself at me, he's getting several hawt loads from my S&W 357. Maybe start shopping for a new faggit, Thiel!  :crampe:
