Pseudo-moralists condemn governments after crises yet denounce preparedness as abuse of power.
This contradiction has weakened Japan’s security and economy.
The essay warns against narratives that ignore real geopolitical threats.

When we ask who pseudo-moralists are, they are the kind of people who, once an incident occurs, uniformly criticize the government for being completely unprepared, yet when the government attempts to establish a solid security system, condemn it as an abuse of power.
I have repeatedly stated that they are childish in every respect and the most pernicious.
Their foolish conduct, or rather their mental structure, becomes obvious when one looks at the present situation in which China frequently violates Japan’s territorial waters and airspace around the Senkaku Islands, revealing a kindergarten-level foolish malignancy.
Or, for those with sound minds capable of imagining a scenario in which China places the South China Sea entirely under its control and presses forward to subjugate Japan, the danger should be instantly clear.
As I have mentioned many times, these people, led by the Asahi Shimbun, have inflicted enormous economic damage on Japan, amounting to a total of 1,400 trillion yen.
I realized through China’s actions in the South China Sea that China’s intention is to force Japan into complete submission.
Media such as the Asahi Shimbun, with their unparalleled foolishness and superficial moralism, have guided Japan in a direction aligned with this Chinese intention, repeatedly insisting that Japan must not grow larger or stronger while continuing to elevate figures such as Kang Sang-jung.
In the same way as Kang Sang-jung has long promoted laughable arguments that Japan should not become large or strong but instead exist merely as a Far Eastern country mediating between China, South Korea, and the United States, these media have effectively advanced narratives acting as proxies for South Korea, and it would not be an exaggeration to say so.
Not only that, they have continued to damage Japan’s honor and credibility through numerous fabricated articles.
It was the Asahi Shimbun and the so-called cultural elites who aligned with it that elevated people resembling proxies for South Korea to party leadership and even to the office of prime minister.
They drove Japan’s world-renowned electronics manufacturers into distress, created hundreds of thousands of unemployed when related industries are included, and while allowing the man who has driven Toshiba into hardship to reap enormous profits, joined him in repeatedly claiming that NTT, another company Japan boasts to the world, was a monopoly.
Japanese readers who subscribed to the Asahi Shimbun were made to think exactly as its editorials instructed.
I was one of them, and in this respect as well I feel deep regret.
Nevertheless, it is only natural to feel anger toward the Asahi Shimbun.
For it was media such as the Asahi Shimbun that continued to advance arguments that impoverished Japan’s representative electronics manufacturers—and thus the Japanese people—while swiftly turning merely greedy individuals into some of the wealthiest people in Japan.
The Japanese state and its people may already be beginning to realize that the rhetoric of “liberalization” and other claims promoted by these people are extremely foolish and dangerous utterances produced by minds inferior even to those of kindergarten children.
