This piece examines Hillary Clinton’s insulting remarks about Trump supporters, the reverse discrimination and victimhood business promoted by American liberals, and the spread of “IYI” through Japan’s political world, bureaucracy, media, and universities.
It argues that Dr. King’s ideals have been distorted, that the spirit of self-reliance in both Japan and America is being replaced by dependency, and it warns of the forces obstructing constitutional revision in Japan.

I cannot help but keenly feel the unbelievable spread of “IYI,” entrenched in Nagatacho, Kasumigaseki, the media, and the universities, all trying endlessly to drag down the Abe administration as it seeks to revise it.

This is the chapter I published on 2018-05-09 under the title.
“Hillary said that half of Trump’s supporters are racists, sexists, and homophobic.”
What follows is a continuation of the previous chapter.

The unbelievable spread of “IYI.”
During the presidential election, Hillary insulted Trump’s supporters by saying that half of them were racists, sexists, homophobic, xenophobic, and Islamophobic.
That was nothing less than “hate speech” directed at Trump supporters themselves.
And yet liberals are convinced that they themselves never engage in “hate speech.”
One may say that the hallmark of liberals is that, while never doubting the righteousness of their own cause, they maintain a thoroughgoing “spirit of intolerance” toward differing opinions.

I believe that the civil rights movement led by Reverend Martin Luther King Jr., which sought the elimination of racial discrimination, was indispensable for the United States as a nation.
I strongly believe that the movement symbolized by Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream” speech delivered in Washington in August 1963 showed the correct path to an “outdated America” in which racial discrimination had been allowed to prevail.

But have not liberals in recent years twisted Dr. King’s ideal.
In that speech, Dr. King said the following.
I have a dream.
That one day my four little children will live in a nation where they will be judged not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
What Dr. King was saying, precisely, was that America should become a great nation that does not discriminate on the basis of race or skin color.

And yet today, because of the minority-rights policies pursued by American liberals, reverse discrimination and internal division within the United States are advancing together.
For example, the Obama administration loudly called for the advancement of the rights of Hispanics, mainly Latin Americans.
But many Hispanics already believed that their identity was simply American.
In reality, as the generations passed from first-generation immigrants to the second and third generations, the consciousness of being Hispanic had been fading.
Yet the Obama administration, regardless of the wishes of the people themselves, deliberately sorted them into the category of “Hispanic,” making it seem as though their rights were being violated.

The same is true of black Americans.
For example, in America, if a black high-school student drops out, the far-fetched logic that “it is because white people once enslaved black people” is accepted as valid.
What should really be done is to undertake efforts to lower the black high-school dropout rate.
And yet why is it that people simply keep shouting, “Black people are still being discriminated against.”
“Help the black people who have suffered discrimination.”

Liberals, in order to protect their own vested interests, are steering society toward “dependency,” the exact opposite of the spirit of “self-reliance” on which America was founded.
If the problem of discrimination were truly resolved, they would lose the “goose that lays the golden eggs.”
In The Melancholy of Japan and America Poisoned by Liberalism, I believe I wrote with particular emphasis on how such a “victim business” is corroding America.

Finally, while the situation on the Korean Peninsula is becoming tense, in Japan some opposition parties are refusing Diet deliberations and, working in tandem with the media, continue repeating their criticisms of the Abe administration.
The Constitution of Japan is the ultimate unequal treaty imposed by GHQ for the purpose of preventing Japan from rearming.
I cannot help but keenly feel the unbelievable spread of “IYI,” entrenched in Nagatacho, Kasumigaseki, the media, and the universities, all trying endlessly to drag down the Abe administration as it seeks to revise it.
