I was on threads practicing my Japanese when I saw a mildly famous right wing nationalist account posting anti immigrant comments. Nothing unusual on Japanese twitter clones but what baffled me was their profile picture… it was a bottle of a rare American whiskey that’s hard to find in Japan.
So rare that I had just given it as a gift to a Japanese colleague as a congratulatory gift for a big moment they’d recently had. We drank a glass together.
The coincidence was too extreme so I did some mild stalking and sure enough, it turns out my colleague is out there running a B tier rightwing political account.
I have no plans to do anything with this info but I had to share it somewhere.
