Abe is affiliated with the openly ultranationalist organization Nippon Kaigi (Japan Conference). He is considered a right-wing populist and ultra-conservative within the LDP, and some media and books have referred to him as a far-right politician.
His aggressive nationalist policies as prime minister were criticized by opposing forces as "reactionary" or "fascist", and he was evaluated by Steve Bannon as "Prime Minister Abe is a great hero to the grassroots, the populist, and the nationalist movement throughout the world". According to Professor Dominique Tasevski, his legacy can be specified due to nationalism, historical revisionism, and a deterioration in Japan-South Korea relations.
From his Wikipedia article. The globalists dislike him for being pro-Japan. He also was based and ordered/posed with a bunch of Taiwanese pineapple like Pompeo after China banned it.
Sounds like a good guy, but also worked with Bush Jr…Could go either way
I don't know a whole lot about the guy other than some years ago I remember when a bunch of left-wing Japanese were calling him a fascist for trying to create a national military beyond their basic security forces.
Edit: watching a live feed on YT rn and a bunch of the commenters are celebrating it, saying he got what he deserved... others are already blaming China (on no evidence apparently).
“Abe became prime minister of Japan in 2012 and served until 2020, finishing out as the longest-serving prime minister in Japanese history. He cited poor health as a reason for his resignation. He had assumed office at a time when Japan's economy had been mired by low growth and strong disinflationary headwinds.
To counter this, Abe championed a number of economic reforms such as monetary easing, heightened fiscal stimulus, and other reforms that have become known as Abenomics.
A vocal critic of China, Abe sought to strengthen ties with the United States and the West. He was regarded as a pioneer of the "free and open Indo-Pacific" concept that has since been integrated into the framework for the U.S. strategy for the region. The concept called for stronger coordination between countries with similar interests in the region. The goal was to appeal to smaller nations in the region that had been reluctant to choose a side in the rivalry between the U.S. and China.
Additionally, Abe was known for his efforts to bolster Japan's defense capabilities.”
Is he good guy or bad guy? Dunno much about him.

Anyone that is pro-nationalist is going to be viewed as opposing their goals.
Given Abe's relationship with the real POTUS, I'm inclined to believe that he was indeed one of the good ones.
I believe so.
Yes...a tragic loss and wondering if DS took him out because he's a successful populist like POTUS.
They only try to kill the good guys. Bad guys still sit around eating ice cream.
And falling off bikes whilst simultaneously shitting his trousers.
me neither
