[Sad news] Citizens: "I'm against war!" Prime Minister: "We're not at war right now? Lol" ← Netizens' reactions to this lol
If you watch the news recently, you'll see people shouting "I'm against war!" on live broadcasts of the Diet. The Prime Minister's retort in response to that was arousing the excitement and the performance was too high, so I put together a summary. Are you missing the point or getting to the heart of the matter? Which is this lol?

People: ``I'm against war!''
Prime Minister: “We’re not at war right now? (Smiling)”
Citizen: “Gununu…”
This is already half a comedy lol

The person on the other end probably wants to say, "Protect peace," but the answer is too obvious.

No, that's just a plodding way of thinking, ``We're not at war now, so it's peaceful.''
<span style='color:blue;'> I'm waiting for a tsukkomi saying, "I guess you're against it because there's a risk of getting involved in a war." </span>

If you ask someone, ``So what should I do specifically?'', you're bound to find yourself at a loss for words.

Did the Prime Minister receive training somewhere for this inciting skill?
<span style='color:red;'> The silent pressure of "I'm against war!" → "Yes, I'm against it too. So?" is too great. </span>

This is proof that the slogan "against war" has become too superficial and lacks substance.

This. It looks like he's just opposing it because he's stopped thinking, so the Prime Minister can easily provoke him back.

<span style='color:red;'>Prime Minister, I can hear a voice in my heart saying, ``I'm more confident that I'm keeping the peace because I'm diplomatic than you guys who feel like they're doing their job just by shouting "I'm against war!"</span>

In fact, if peace could be maintained in Japan just by shouting against war, it wouldn't be a problem.
Opposition parties should also come up with a better alternative lol

Well, if people with low tolerance for provocations heard this response, they would probably go crazy.
The words "against war" may no longer be a magic spell, but just a greeting.
What do you all think? I look forward to a heated discussion in the comments section!
