Kato said Japan had lost its moorings and that individuals, disconnected from traditional family, work and community anchors, were floating like helium balloons on air currents.

"And if there is a nationalistic mood that takes over the country, all of these balloons will begin to drift in a very strong way along this current."

Political scientist Maruyama Masao criticize its behavior, "we are inspired by atmosphere easily so that our political standard is very low."
I feel that we need to try to think logically.
