    Being out on the street alone speaking hard truths is incredibly scary, mad props.

    Not sure I’m a fan of the Aussie’s lib take though. One guy out every day being a nagging voice isn’t enough, you can’t point to this guy and absolve yourself of not doing anything. You don’t have to be out there every day putting yourself in danger, but just nodding at this guy and giving him a thumbs up and saying he deserves a statue ain’t it.

          It’s probably not that dangerous to be doing… pretty much anything you can imagine in Tokyo. Yeah a bunch of passively fascist nerd losers are gonna think “fuck that guy, he’s caring about things and doing it publicly which is highly improper” but out of all the places you could do this, this specific place has gotta be near the bottom of the list of places where anything is likely to happen to you as a result.

          I also think it’s not really dangerous in the immediate sense. Yes his name and face is known publically and by authorities but being alone is the reason why they don’t care. You see that this is treated like maybe how legalizing psychedelics is treated in the US.
