Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Women “would have their uteruses removed when they turn over 30,” Naoki Hyakuta, leader of the Conservative Party of Japan, said in a stream on his YouTube channel on Friday.

On the channel, he also said that he would make it law for “women who are single after 25 years old not to be allowed to marry.”

(...)

Later, Hyakuta posted an apology on his X account. “I cannot deny that the expressions were too harsh,” he said. “I apologize for those who were offended.”

Free tube tying for everyone above 25? I knew about some villages in poor rural India and african countries that did this to limit teen pregnancy and over population. The complete opposite of what Japan is dealing with

I read uterus removal, not tube tying. Maybe a pedantic difference, but is he explicitly trying to highlight the threat value for the statement?

Odds are, neither the politician, nor the translator know the difference.

Free tube tying is really different from forced removal of a healthy organ, which is just mutilation.

I've added some qoutes from the article

A meaningful number of people globally want "revenge" on COVID. They are impotently raging along with the nearest angry person they can attach to. They don't understand their feelings but they feel generally cheated. Many real issues layered on to, but that's the motivating foundation.

They also are failed adults that just want a "daddy" to feel like he will make things better or "beat up" problems on their behalf (or more likely just make them feel like that's happening, regardless of reality).
