Doing anything in public that goes against the official narrative is a big deal in Japan, which is a very obedient society.
But hey, this is more than I have ever seen anything in Australia! I would love to see even a dozen people bring out a nice Trump statue and go marching on Swanston St.
Fair point. I'm not downplaying the value of the march, just the exaggeration.
Going against the official narrative is not really that big an issue. Rather, it's acting out of coordination with "the group". So having a group around you grants permission. In fact, Japanese will get more power from being in a group than many other cultures, even if that group is not mainstream.
It would still take guts and commitment to do a Trump march, tho, although because he's American, its not that big a deal. (It doesn't threaten the Japanese establishment.)
