Gachi Nationalism "Aikoku Sha" Tachi No Fuan No Shotai (Chiku Ma Shinsho)

[Machine Translation] In 2002, in "Petit Nationalism Syndrome," the author observed people who were excited about the birth of the first child of the Crown Prince and Princess, young people who were excited about the World Cup in Japan and South Korea, and so on, and warned that the Japanese who say "I love Nippon" may be the budding of a rightward shift and fashion. Now, 13 years later, "playing patriotic games" is no longer a "game," and all of my concerns at the time have become reality. In this article, we analyze once again the current state and future of "patriotism" in modern Japan, from the Abe cabinet to netoyo, hate speech, anti-intellectualism, and the revision of the Security Treaty.

二〇〇二年、著者は、『ぷちナショナリズム症候群』で、皇太子夫妻第一子誕生に熱狂する人々、ワールドカップ日韓大会にわく若者たち、などを観察し、「ニッポン、大好き」と言ってしまう日本人に対して、右傾化とファッションの萌芽なのか、と警鐘を鳴らした。一三年たった今、「愛国ごっこ」は「ごっこ」ではなくなり、あの時の心配はすべて現実となってしまった。安倍内閣から、ネトウヨ、ヘイトスピーチ、反知性側義、安保改正まで、現代日本の「愛国」の現状と行く末を改めて分析する。
