Shinzō Abe was an (indirectly) elected politician, though. The consequences for his actions should be people not voting for his party again. Murdering him because you disagree with people who voted for his party is not just an attack on one person, it's an attack on democracy.
What the recourse should be for those at the top of corporations whose decisions negatively impact millions of people is far less clear. "Voting with your wallet" isn't really a thing if you only have bad choices.
- secstate 2y agosorry for the downvote, but you misunderstand the motive of his asssasin. Abe and his family were directly involved in a church movement that had harmed the assassin's family. Strangely, it had very little do with politics, and so elections could not have righted the perceived wrongs.
- InsideOutSanta 2y agoFair enough.
