It may be better for a Japanese citizen not to interfere in the U.S. presidential election and the U.K. general election, but if things continue as the media is predicting, the U.S. & U.K. ambassadors to Japan will probably be replaced, which I think would be good for Japan, and maybe for their own countries.
The attitude of these two ambassadors in Japan seems to be based on the misconception that as citizens of a civilized country who have come to a barbarian country, they have a duty to teach and guide the inferior people, and this is worsening the relationship between Japan and these countries. And since neither Washington nor London seems to understand this, the only solution to this problem is to hope for a change of government in both countries.
Europe and America have long been influenced by Christian ethics, which historically opposed LGBT equality. Only recently have they begun to address and correct this issue. However, in Japan, such peculiar ideas did not originally exist. Unfortunately, during the Meiji Restoration, Japan was compelled to adopt Western norms, including those related to LGBT rights.
Now, there is an effort to restore Japan's original, natural sensibilities regarding these matters. However, a radical approach is not suitable; simply reverting to the past won't suffice.
In the 19th century, Japan maintained its isolation and independence. Yet, Western powers coerced Japan into opening up and signing unequal treaties, using it as a strategic foothold for their expansion into China. To demonstrate its "civilization," Japan had to adhere to Western Christian societal standards, including the imposition of Christian ethics.
The situation in Japan differs significantly from that in Western societies, where efforts are being made to advance beyond traditional Christian ethics. Japan, on the other hand, is merely returning to its pre-Western-influenced state. The radical Western approach has significant drawbacks, potentially creating a new form of discriminatory alchemy.
