According to knowyourmeme, this is a photo from a 2018 session of Japanese Parliament. The guy in the center is calling for a vote on a controversial bill, and a bunch of opposition party members are attempting to physically prevent him from doing so. Apparently this is a thing they do in the Japanese Parliament sometimes?

From the article:

It should be noted that physical altercations are not exactly a rarity in Japanese Parliament

I'm actually surprised. Not because I believe Japanese are passive and peaceful, very false stereotypes.

But this one got me by surprise. Backstabbing and assassination - I could see it, brawling not so much.

God that'd actually be amazing.

Then some dude comes out of nowhere in the finale and offs Definitely-Not-Shinzo-Abe with the power of GUN

If you look up politicians brawl or something on an image search, you find a lot of these photos from all around the globe... I didn't know that was a thing. What a pathetic display.
