In Japan, there has been a peaceful and stable society without revolutions or coups.
Ironically, due to the continuation of this peaceful and stable society, ordinary people have been left behind.
Inherited positions and connections have led to a society riddled with economic disparities.
In today's Japanese society, it is harsh towards those who are poor, struggle with their way of life, or have faced setbacks in their careers due to various circumstances.
In fact, it's even worse than that.
The society is cold towards ordinary people who have diligently and patiently supported the country yet missed out on opportunities.
It's a cold society with no room for the resurgence of the defeated.
Looking back, thanks to the nameless ordinary people for 75 years since World War II, Japan has maintained a peaceful and stable society without revolutions or coups.
These ordinary people who contributed should have had the chance to hold power and wealth by now.
However, ironically, due to the continuation of peace and stability, ordinary people have been left behind, and a society of inherited positions and connections leading to economic disparities has emerged.
If you're born into a hereditary political family, you can buy education with your parents' political power and money, securing opportunities through influential connections.
Even if things don't go well, becoming a "political heir" of the family is the ultimate outcome.
With that role, any detours along the way become inconsequential.
It's nothing short of envy-inducing.
When observing the legislative body, the National Diet, it's clear that the ruling party's hereditary members dominate with impunity.
The opposition, on the other hand, uses "parliamentary salaries" and "political party subsidies" to try to rise to the level of ruling party hereditary members, engaging in a power struggle.
This is a dismal scene that makes everyone think, "This kind of democracy is unnecessary."
Yet, the government that oversees national politics isn't much better.
Graduates from Japan's top universities who were once bureaucrats have now become subservient to hereditary members, acting as mere servants and seeking their approval.
One might want to cry out, "Young people, this is the reality of Japanese democracy."
After all, no matter how smart a poor person is, they remain poor.
Even if you were aiming to become a bureaucrat during your days of studying, you surely wouldn't have become subservient to those who only boast of their lineage and wealth.
Yes, they, unlike you, are a bunch of people who can't become anything significant on their own.
Yet, why waste your abilities for their sake?
Is it really okay to spend your bureaucratic career as a troubleshooter cleaning up after hereditary politicians?
Is there no hero out there who can change this country in some way?
