This essay argues that media abuse—fabrication disguised as truth and pseudo-moral posturing—has become the greatest engine of inequality.
It exposes how intellectuals and cultural figures are mobilized to damage the nation while evading responsibility.

The following is an editorial that I disseminated to the world on January 12.
The greatest engine that produces inequality consists of governmental mismanagement and inaction, and the tyranny of the media.
*By media tyranny I mean the practice of mobilizing incompetent scholars to fabricate outrageous lies as if they were truth, thereby inflicting enormous damage upon the nation, while operating with minds rendered chaotic by degenerated leftist ideology… originally, these people are, at best, comparable to those in the middle to lower half of my own classmates… although, to be clear, among my classmates there was not a single person like them… yet they wield power exceeding the separation of powers… that is, they dominate newspapers and television stations and have shaped Japanese public opinion.
At the same time, this is an occupation made possible precisely because over 90 percent of the Japanese people work from morning till night in the real world of business; for example, those who choose the path of so-called scholarship, then somehow misunderstand their own worth, shelf their many deficiencies as human beings, puff themselves up as university professors, and attack a government that is currently conducting extremely sound policies.
Or cases in which someone who is nothing more than a writer, simply because he won a Nobel Prize or happens to be older than the prime minister, publicly abuses the prime minister—who has carried out the finest governance in recent years—before a crowd in Hibiya Park or somewhere similar.
Or further, cases in which an intellectually deficient figure conceals the fact that he plagiarized a genuine American female writer, and just as Masayoshi Son amassed absurd personal wealth in contrast to the impoverishment of the people, rose to prominence in inverse proportion to the severe downturn of the publishing industry, was elevated by publishers, became a massive bestselling author, and turned into a billionaire.
While staying at the world’s most luxurious resort hotels—luxuries unimaginable to children raised in the one-in-six households living in poverty—writing books, installing ultra-high-end stereo systems at home, and sipping ultra-expensive wine.
For someone like me, who had no choice but to begin life with nothing, John Lennon, The Beatles, and Bob Dylan remain inseparable parts of my very soul, in complete contrast to such a person.
When that person plagiarized an American female writer who established her fame by drawing inspiration from Bob Dylan’s “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right,” and casually used a Beatles song in the process, I felt a sense of discomfort, and thus, some years ago, I instantly grasped the entire sequence of events.
The correctness of my intuition is evident today, as this man, far from the spirit of the Beatles, installs ultra-high-end stereo systems at home, sips ultra-expensive wine, listens exclusively to classical music, and cozies up to world-famous conductors in the hope of somehow obtaining a Nobel Prize.
A person who stands as far as possible from the way of being embodied by the Beatles or Bob Dylan.
Without even realizing that he possesses a level of historical awareness below that of a kindergarten child—having grown up merely reading the 朝日新聞—he repeatedly issues statements of the most extreme pseudo-moralism, claiming that Japan must continue apologizing to Korea forever.
Worse still, he sneers at the entirely natural reality that people who have noticed Asahi Shimbun’s falsehoods have begun speaking out everywhere, dismissing it as the ideology of cheap liquor.
