反転「パヨクも強い時代はあった話」

80年前に日本の天皇は人間ではなくて神だった。その１年後に彼は神ではなくて人間になった。それに伴って世の中の考え方も180度変わった。国民は天皇のために死ななくても良くなった。どんなに戦争に反対しても警察に捕まらなくなった。
About eight decades ago, Japanese emperor wasn’t one of humans but the untouchable “God,” but one year later, he wasn’t the Messiah but one of the ordinary citizens.

Various immense and enormous earthquakes might attack Japan would force Tokyo university graduates to lose their privileges they enjoyed since they graduated from there, in short, their diplomas cannot make positive contributions to what they are because their social status shouldn’t make a vital difference in the confusion and catastrophe, although they made bloody efforts to capture a reception letter from their desired university.
In the case of challenging chaos, the muscles’ blocks would be the ultimately dependable beings because they have the ability to control such catastrophic situations with their physical strength and powerful intensity.
