【🇯🇵 vs 🇪🇺 🇺🇸】In Japanese society, possessing strong political beliefs often leads to harsh discrimination and social persecution. 於日本、政治信念之保持者受苛烈差別与迫害。
敬請万安自日本( ・ˇ _ˇ・)ノシ!Respectful greetings from Japan( ・ˇ _ˇ・)ノシ!
妾留学欧州時頗驚事、西洋人大多数有強烈政治思想。When I studied in Europe, I was quite astonished to find that the majority of Westerners possess very strong political convictions.
日常会話政治話題頻出、屡激議論勃発、異政党支持者相互憎悪敵対抗争、是常態也。Political topics frequently appear in everyday conversations, heated debates often erupt, and supporters of different political parties routinely hate, oppose, and fight each other.
社会分断顕著、懸念且内戦!Social division is striking, and one might even fear the possibility of civil conflict.
日本人一般忌避政治話題故、妾頗驚嘆之。Because Japanese people generally avoid political topics, this was very surprising to me.
於日本、所有強烈政治思想人士、為「政治豚」、必被誹謗迫害。In Japan, anyone with strong political beliefs is called a “政治豚” (Political Pig, Sus Politicus) and inevitably becomes the target of slander and persecution.
例之、妾高校時代同窓生、有一匹政治豚。For example, during my high school days, there was one such Sus Politicus among my classmates.
妾友或日目撃豚弁当是豚肉甘辛焼。One day, a friend saw this pig’s lunchbox: it contained sweet-and-spicy braised pork.
豚共食癖令妾友痛心、彼女捨弁当中身、交換之以野生豚所好葉、種、花、根、塊茎、生昆虫等。Grieved by its habit of eating its own kind, my friend threw away the contents and replaced them with leaves, seeds, flowers, roots, tubers, and live insects—foods preferred by wild pigs.
(敬乞賜赦彼女、妾実試制止、而彼女当時少年浅慮無分別、不傾耳妾進言。Please forgive her. I did try to stop her, but she was young, shallow in judgment at the time, and refused to listen to my advice.)
蓋感激女子之手料理故乎、豚乍泣食之。Perhaps grateful for a girl’s hand-cooked meal, he ate the meal while shedding tears.
見之而妾思、悪! 此所謂豚餌哉! Seeing it, I thought: “Ugh! This is what you’d call pig feed!”
妾沈思、何故政治豚受斯様処遇於日本国乎? I reflected deeply. Why do Sus Politicus receive such treatment in Japan?
如何処遇政治豚於諸君国乎?How do people in your countries deal with Sus Politicus?
若諸君国不苛烈処遇政治豚如日本、諸君欲苛烈処遇政治豚如日本乎?If your nations do not treat Sus Politicus as harshly as Japan does, would you wish to treat Sus Politicus as harshly as Japan does?
