Reader’s Question:
What kind of people are the anti-Tachibana supporters? I can somewhat imagine the anti-Tachibana sentiments from people like Yamamoto Taro or those on the left, but I’m not sure what demographic the critics of Tachibana-san belong to. Could you elaborate on who specifically becomes an anti-Tachibana supporter?
What Kind of People Are Anti-Tachibana Supporters?
The opinion that Tachibana Takashi’s
supporters and detractors share similar human traits is indeed an interesting perspective. Given the extreme nature of his actions and statements, it’s reasonable to think that both his supporters and detractors become more radicalized in response to him. As a memorable episode, the other day while working part-time at a judicial scrivener office, a colleague and I started discussing Tachibana-san. When we talked about his public speaking activities, my colleague remarked, “He’s just like a nuisance YouTuber.” It sounded humorous, but there was a deeper meaning behind that comment. Some resonate with his methods, while others oppose them. Ultimately, the people surrounding Tachibana-san are likely captivated by his ability to communicate, but at the same time, they may feel anxious about his radicalism.
The True Nature of the Detractors
When contemplating Tachibana-san’s critics, I am struck by the observation that many of them are middle-aged men who are socially disadvantaged. They carry daily stress and often vent their frustrations online. I can empathize with their feelings as I sometimes want to vent my own frustrations online too. Without a platform to express themselves, frustration can build up. It’s fascinating that while Tachibana-san’s support base includes many socially vulnerable middle-aged men, his critics are often similar individuals. His messaging may feel like a reflection of their own situations. His words might serve as a voice for societal discontent and conflict.
Vigilance for the Future
Recently, there has been concern online regarding the attack on Tachibana-san, highlighting that radical actions come with risks. Such incidents may lead to copycat offenders. It is a situation that requires constant vigilance. While his ability to communicate will likely continue to draw attention, it is essential to remember that wielding influence comes with responsibilities.
