In a live news show, @YaleEconomics AP #YusukeNarita asserted that the “only solution” to resolve the aging population issue in Japan is to “let elderlies commit mass suicide before they become a harm to society.”
I ask you. @Yale, is this acceptable?
@Yale Assistant Prof. Narita later said in an interview that he was only being “metaphorical,” that he meant for the elderlies to ‘depart’ on its own to make ways to their privileged position. But that’s NOT how you use the term #集団自決 (mass suicide).

The term he used “集団自決” was commonly used during wartime for forced mass suicide by the Japanese Imperial Army, especially in #Okinawa. In other words, it is NOT a self-initiated suicide but one that is forced upon from those in power.
