With a green thumb and a sharp pen, Etienne is planting seeds of change in a digital garden of activism. His followers are either very eco-conscious or just really into seeing him rant about capitalism over a pun.

From Taisho-era history to contemporary politics, Etienne digs deep into Japan's past and present with the gleeful curiosity of a kid in a historical candy shop. Just don’t ask him about the samurai; he might just samuraize you with facts.

His political posts swing from incisive critiques to witty observations about current events, like a Michael Moore documentary fused with a stand-up gig—both hilarious and a little uncomfortable sometimes.
