YouTube - Insane Japanese Politician

This is a Japanese politician who ran for Governor of Tokyo County. Every politician is given equal airtime in Japan to explain their platform, and the TV stations can not edit it and are therefore not responsible for its content. He garnered 15,000 votes.

I remember in north west united states that ran on the platform of never telling a lie who almost won a seat in congress. There was a documentary on the guy, but I can't find it. Regardless do you think a man who is totally against the establishment win a seat in elected office such as governor or congress?
 
I thought we just elected one like that...you know, Obama. Destroy everything, tear down the country, etc.

I'm kidding! It's a joke! :rofl

No seriously, this guy sounded like a Japanese Hitler. Or just plain looney.

15,000 people in japan liked his message enough, he also ran in America or at least reached out to the people of America for help in his cause. He says he represents 6 billion people, the 1/30th of people around the world that never get representation because they are against the establishment.

He is also an accomplished musician....
 
So is he trying to get political support for anarchism?

"Gentlemen! I despise each and every one of you."
:lol:

I just found my new signature line..
 
I would rather our election coverage be as straight forward and determined based on the candidates education, experience, ideas, and ideals rather then the size of the candidates or supporting parties pocket book.
 
I soooooo would have voted for that guy. He cracked me the **** up.

It's not like my vote counts anyway. :mrgreen::2razz:
 
There is no beating around the bush with this guy, I kind of like it, he is as straight forward as you can get.

I liked his no bull**** message, but why would you vote for a guy that says that you must "obliterate everything"?
 

Six billion people, the 1/30th that don't get representation, huh?

I didn't realize there were 180 billion people in the world. I guess that explains the LA traffic.

No, he meant that we, the Americans, are 1/30th of the world's population and he represents the 6 billion other people in the world. He's basically arguing that we have such a strong influence on the world, everyone else should be able to vote in our elections. He's either crazy or telling us to be isolationist, or (more likely) both.

"Shut up! England is America too!" :rofl


EDIT: Watching the first video confirms my theory that he is crazy.
