Corrections/nuances: Portugal did abolish the death penalty in the 1800s. It also abolished the death penalty in 1976 because it had been reinstated for military purposes during WW1. Deathpenaltyinfo.org recognizes 1976 as the formal date. The point of that segment, and I will be clearer about assumptions/definitions on screen in future videos for sure so that’s my bad, is that a new constitution after the fall of an authoritarian leader has been associated with the formal abolition of the death penalty. That happened after Salazar with the new constitution. Japan also signed a new constitution, but with no formal abolition. Researchers found (source in description) that lynching predicts modern executions, but when you account for slavery - lynching does not, but slavery does. There’s a lot of variance in these studies, and the level that injustices in the past have an impact on today is not something I, a “professional” youtuber in a bedroom, am going to be able to explain well. Adverbs like “intimately” do not help because that’s vague and unclear writing. I do think this can all be true (would like to hear other’s thoughts) while it also still being important to point out that this makes the US different from Japan. As of right now, I don’t know how I stand on the death penalty. My instinctual feeling when someone kills 31 people by burning them alive like I mention at the end is yes. As it would be if my family was brutally murdered by someone. That being said, the non zero probability, especially in Japan with its high prosecution rate, makes the risk quite uncomfortable that I start thinking - better not. But then I can think that, that makes me some moral saint - that I would not take that chance with the death penalty - but I and the majority of the world would take that chance with locking someone in a cell for extended periods of time. So I’m not sure my morality is consistent. Long story short, I don’t really know.

Oh, the poor, misunderstood criminals! How utterly tragic that they are deprived of the luxury of a handy calendar reminder for their impending execution. Who could bear the heartache of such an oversight? Truly, Japanese society’s blatant disregard for their need to meticulously plan such significant life events is beyond comprehension. It’s not as if these convicts took the effort to book an appointment with their victims, thoughtfully ensuring they were fully aware of the exact date and time they’d be brutally slaughtered. "Excuse me, would next Tuesday at 3 PM suit you for your untimely demise?" Really, imagine the shock and horror these CONVICTS must endure, facing their end without a day marked in their otherwise busy calendars. How inhumane to rob them of the opportunity to prepare like it's a dentist appointment. Truly, it's society that has failed them, not the other way around. Japanese laws, shockingly, don't bend over backwards to pamper and coddle criminals the way Western legal systems do. Imagine that, a legal system that prioritizes actual justice over the comfort of those who have wreaked havoc on innocent lives. Heaven forbid! What a monstrous concept, that the focus should be on the victims who will never see another tomorrow, rather than on the sensitivities of those who brought about their untimely end. So, spare me the melodramatic sob stories and crocodile tears. Don’t project your self-righteous, virtue-signaling nonsense onto other countries that don’t coddle convicts. If only you could channel all this empathetic energy into supporting victims rather than lionizing those who wronged them. But no, please, do go on about the grave injustice of not catering to the meticulous schedules of those who have caused unimaginable suffering. After all, it’s far more important to maintain the pristine image of moral superiority, isn’t it?

I imagine the reason the death penalty was abolished in those countries with authoritarian regimes was because they massively abused it; so when the regime was ousted, the people were never willing to take that risk again. Of course this ousting never fully happened in Japan, and you could argue the country is to this day quite authoritarian in many ways. The question is more complicated in countries that have always been fairly democratic: there, I feel, it becomes more a question of conservatives against progressives; which is shown nicely in the US too.

Why are you talking about “black lynchings” in regard to the U.S. death penalty? The U.S. death penalty is not “intimately connected with its history of racial discrimination and enslavement”. If that were the case, then everything would be connected to it and no state in the U.S. would still have the death penalty. That statement smacks of critical race theory, where everything is about race in the U.S. What have they done to our youth in our classrooms? Why would you even bring that up? Isn’t that leading to the notion that if you are for the death penalty in the U.S., then you are racist…if they are “intimately connected” as you say? It’s a legitimate question with a legitimate concern. This isn’t just about your statement even if it were partially true, it’s your entire approach to it. EVERY human being on this entire planet has an ancestors who were slaves, every single one of us. Even isolated tribes that have “never” been in contact with other human beings? Yes, of course. The entire world’s history of slavery is another topic all together. That leaves me with only two questions: 1. How is the death penalty in the U.S. “intimately connected” with “it’s history of racial discrimination and enslavement”? 2. How is the execution carried out? You came close, but never explained it.

Norway didn't have a death penalty but they allowed it only for Quisling and some other traitors in the aftermath of WW2. It wasn't fully abolished until 1979 where it was technically legal for the military to execute people in some cases, but the last execution was in 1948 in the before mentioned aftermath of WW2. I think the conversation for allowing it again reopened to potentially execute Anders Behring Breivik, a man who massacred 77 people and detonated a bomb in the Norwegian capital in 2011. The fact that he is still alive is wild, but im also slightly glad that our state didn't abandon their morals for the sake of one man. (Only slightly glad, im pretty upset for the most part ofc.

Similarly to China, Japan's government would like everyone to think they are ethnically homogenous but that's factually false. Just as it is false that only one language is spoken in Japan. There's many different minority languages but with the exception of Ainu (officially recognized only in 2019) all minority languages are officially called "dialects of Japanese" by the government, like the entire Ryukyuan language family (11 languages), Tsugaru in Aomori, Hachijo of the southern isles or the Kagoshima language with all its dialects.

@hoogyoutube6 ай бұрын
I think there are actually a few separate arguments happening now, and it's important to address them separately. 1. Ethnic Homogeneity of Japan: The first argument is whether Japan is actually ethnically homogeneous. There is indeed some state-driven narrative promoting the idea of a homogeneous Japan, and the reality does include ethnic minorities like the Ainu, Ryukyuans, residents of Korean or Chinese descent, etc. However, by any standard metric-such as the relative size and diversity of ethnic groups within the country-Japan remains one of the most ethnically homogeneous countries in the world. Comparing a random town in Japan to a room full of United Nations delegates would clearly illustrate this point. The second argument, which you rightfully bring up, I think is much more interesting. 2. Usefulness of Ethnic Homogeneity as a Comparative Measure: Whether ethnic homogeneity is a useful metric for country-to-country comparisons in the first place. Regarding the more nuanced point about South Africa, it’s true that ethnic homogeneity is not always a perfect unit of analysis. Country-to-country comparisons are inherently challenging and often imprecise. I'm sure there's some researchers that argue that heterogeneous societies may face more internal conflict due to a lack of cohesion, while other researchers would suggest the exact opposite: that homogeneous societies might experience more tension from marginalized minority groups. Both perspectives can be valid, but they depend heavily on the specific context. In the context of the death penalty between the US and Japan, I gave one reason for why I thought it was relevant. That's what I think is the actual problem. This video was too short, too brief, and did not do the topic justice with the amount of detail that could still be included. I would like to stand by the US being more ethnically heterogeneous than Japan as a meaningful observation, but it's not that meaningful if you spend less than 10 seconds talking about it.

After the abolition for murder it was retained for treason and arson in a royal dockyard, as well as some military offences.)

I do understand you emotionally, but I’d rather you paid attention to the differences between generosity and human rights. The former is random feeling whereas the latter is a systematic theory that depends on deductive reasoning. The most typical example of deductive reasoning is math. If x and y are lines which are parallel, then they don’t cross. Here, you can’t ask why because it is something called an axiom. In deductive logic, you can prove many properties of lines or triangles but the absence of crossing points. This is true to human rights, too. Axiom; you have rights which can’t be alienated from you. See? Perhaps, you may think like this; then let’s change the axiom! Good news. It’s already tried by some enthusiastic people, namely Hitler, Stalin,Mao Zedong, Xi Jinping, and Meiji government (see the first article of their constitution. It was an alternative axiom). Do you think it sounds like religion? Surprisingly you’re right. Human rights is religion by its definition according to Harari, the author of Sapience, which I think is very interesting and provocative.
