Meet the leader of one of Japan's ultra nationalist groups
by Mark Frauenfelder from on (#40YZY)
Almost every time I visit Japan, I see black vans driving down the street with super loud megaphones blaring an angry rant. These vans are operated by people who are members of Japan's ultra nationalist movement. In this video, Asian Boss interviewed Shusuke Morigaki, leader of a group called Minzoku No Ishi Doumei (Alliance of the People's Will). He says he first became interested in ultra nationalism after reading about Adolf Hitler as a youngster. "I mean, yes, everybody hates him, but on the flip side he was loved by many people," he tells the interviewer. "People say, 'Don't love Hitler. Don't praise Hitler.' And if you praise him [it's taboo]. I think it's so wrong that people are educated that way."
