After UK’s move two years ago, Japan has also appointed a “Minister of Loneliness” to take try and reduce loneliness and social isolation among its residents as the country deals with rising suicide rates, Tomohiro Osaki reported for the Japan Times.
Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga appointed Tetsushi Sakamoto, who is already a minister in charge of dealing with Japan’s declining birthrate and promoting regional revitalization, to oversee government policies to deal with loneliness and isolation, earlier this month. Prime Minister Suga chose Sakamoto as his Minister for economic revitalization when he was elected in September 2020.
“Women are suffering from isolation more (than men are), and the number of suicides is on a rising trend,” Suga told Sakamoto on a February 12 news conference announcing the new role, according to the Japan Times. “I hope you will identify problems and promote policy measures comprehensively.” ….[ ]
Japan once again illustrates how an islander people isolated from the world can and do go crazy
If they were actually a social tribe, it would mitigate some of these trends, like some Pacific Islander tribes.
The UK also suffers from islander mentality, no wonder why they also have a Minister of Lonliness
Overreaction to the not so deadly virus with dumb social distancing and lockdowns is the problem. Appointing a useless bureaucrat won’t solve anything. Ending the lockdowns might.
If the majority of people weren’t such pussies covid restrictions wouldn’t have lasted 1 month.
No wonder. Especially in Japan.
There was an experiment by John B. Calhoun with rats in a cage, whereby the population was allowed (and stimulated) to grow without bounds. After a certain population density was reached, rats would get apathic, fail to groom, fail to reproduce, etc..

Put on your mask, stop complaining and shut up…peasants.
The first world can only exist in Loneliness and Low child births for so long.
This is happening to the young people in all the western countries, they’re too addicted to the internet to procreate, and pretty soon it’ll be too late for them.
Suicide has always been part of Japanese culture.
Seppuku
Harakiri
Kamikaze
You name it, they do it.
The obvious Fauci answer is three masks and 18 feet of distance.
More people will end up dying of Covid response, than Covid.
F—ing lunatics.
This is the true cost of all these insane Covid lockdowns and quarantines. No one is factoring in the mental health crisis from mandated social distancing.
