This passage was written in response to the chapter published on November 6, 2018, titled “The Juche-oriented regime in the South is trying to accelerate unification by strengthening domestic authoritarianism. Japanese people should be on guard,” entering the Ameba official hashtag rankings.
The author discusses the importance of Hiroshi Furuta’s writings and argues that the Japanese media has deliberately ignored the work of genuine scholars and serious thinkers.
The essay also criticizes the hypocrisy surrounding the U.N. human rights system, the obstruction of speech on the internet, and what the author sees as the disastrous state of Okinawa resulting from Japanese politics and media having long followed the narratives of the Korean Peninsula and China.

The truly foolish and idiotic condition of Japan’s media, politics, and Okinawa has been precisely that they have followed the line of the Korean Peninsula and China, the very ringleaders of hatred.

A chapter I published on 2018-11-06 under the title, “The Juche-oriented regime in the South is trying to accelerate unification by intensifying authoritarianism at home. Japanese people should be careful,” has now entered Ameba’s official hashtag ranking at No. 12 for Mongolia.

It was only after I stopped subscribing to Asahi Shimbun five years ago in August and began subscribing to four monthly magazines that I first came to know a genuine master.
I express my respect for him as the finest example of a late-blooming great figure.
He is the world’s foremost scholar on the Korean Peninsula, yet in recent years he has deepened his field all the way to the roots of Western Europe.
The essay by Hiroshi Furuta, one of the greatest scholars in the world today, is a terrifyingly powerful essay.

Regarding the days he spent on Korean Peninsula studies, he once said, “I wasted forty years.”
When I came to the passage in which he said that in a dialogue with someone, I burst out laughing.
His gift for humor is also absolutely first-rate.

The reason I began, at a certain point, though it is a very difficult and laborious task, to adopt the method of sending out each sentence as a title when introducing their essays to Japan and the world is, needless to say, that the essays of true scholars and true men of letters are not things like what is spoken about on television wide shows by gatherings of fools and half-baked people, nor are they the sort of thing one hears in barbershop chatter, but rather each and every sentence is the result of forty years of discipline and sixty years of reflection, standing infinitely far from the sort of thing one skims while doing something else and then imagines one has understood.
Moreover, they stand on a plane exactly opposite to the left-wing childish, sanctimonious, prearranged harmony of Asahi and NHK.
Even I myself often reread them and newly recognize their greatness.
How much more so, then, for those who are mediocre to begin with and whose minds are stolen away by smartphones and the like.

And yet the goo office, though it is inevitable under present conditions that I criticize the Korean Peninsula more often, while Japan’s true treasures, working at their own expense, finally reached the U.N. Human Rights Committee, whose member states are themselves utterly laughable, being composed, with China at the forefront, of human-rights-abusing states, and unable to endure that hypocrisy any longer, the United States withdrew from the U.N. Human Rights Committee last year.
This time, they finally began a counterattack against South Korea with facts and succeeded in having a splendid essay published in English.
Yet Japan’s media has not covered at all this one of the finest examples in recent years of the highest form of what Japanese people can be.

Filled with anger over that fact, I first began in Japanese, and the day before yesterday I finally reached the English text published on the U.N. committee’s site and started the work of making it known to the world.
Most people would not even know of its existence from the English alone.
Ordinary people do not go out of their way to visit the Human Rights Committee’s website.
Still less do those who only read their own language know anything about it.
And yet, just when I had begun that work yesterday, goo suddenly declared that I had exceeded the posting limit and made posting impossible.

It seems to me that goo, just like media outlets such as NHK and TBS, is vulnerable to Koreans of Chongryon and other villains.
Even Moe Fukada, who alone is now truly fighting a solitary battle for Japan against a major problem in the IT world, namely China’s theft, and who is exactly the kind of true national treasure of whom Saicho said that he continues to illuminate one corner, has continued to suffer harassment just as I have, such as having her search numbers suddenly reduced to one hundredth.
The internet is, in its essence, the greatest library in human history.
But there are also the lowest type of people in human history who abuse anonymity, mostly people from countries of “bottomless evil” and “plausible lies,” or people who carry that DNA.
After all, Syngman Rhee illegally and unlawfully seized fishermen and confined them in extremely poor conditions, truly the DNA of the yangban, and made the Japanese government accept, as the condition for releasing those fishermen, the release of several hundred Koreans who had been imprisoned in Japan for crimes including murder, and to let them settle in Japan with permanent residence.
As I have already written, when I thought of what the descendants of such people are doing in Japan now, I shuddered.

When I see the setup in trivial television dramas and movie trailers where the father is said to have been a murderer, I have come to think that perhaps those things too are in fact all made by their descendants.
Those people attack me constantly.
Their persistent attacks have taken control of TBS and NHK.
goo probably does not stand a chance.

In other words, defeated by their special skills, Japan has long gone on calling the state in which bad money drives out good morality, the Personal Information Protection Act, hate, and so forth.
The truly foolish and idiotic condition of Japan’s media, politics, and Okinawa has been precisely that they have followed the line of the Korean Peninsula and China, the very ringleaders of hatred.
