And for Russia: "Enough about your horrific past. Let's talk about your horrific future"

same with eastern germany.

and now the eastern germans are nearly as sick as japan not understanding that most values in their society are based on shit and shit people.

key is to keep them miseducated. just like NHK Japan is constantly spreading fake news about history and nobody stops them. where is the nhk japab report about the mass rapes of south korean women? where is the report where they talk to japanese citizens about their ww2 guilt? all i see is normies and facists crying about hiroshima and "it should never happen again".

well, WRONG. It should happen again if Japan keeps being such a shithole. no justice no peace,right? so no peace for japan!

I... don't think Japan refusing to apologize is quite worth war. This isn't the 19th century.

Just casually advocating nuclear genocide nbd

well, WRONG. It should happen again if Japan keeps being such a shithole. no justice no peace,right? so no peace for japan!

I'mma go ahead and assume this is coming from a very personal place (i.e.: fairly recent family history) and let you be.

It’s an interesting topic. The root cause being that in Japan, the same few families who ran the country in feudal times are still in power today, i.e. politics, economy, and the shadow police force aka the yakuza.

Why were they not completely removed after Japan lost WW2? Because of an US policy called the “reverse course”.

Basically the US was so afraid of Japan becoming communist, that they left the old fascists in power who they knew would never turn communist.

The few people who got sentenced for Japan’s war crimes were not the ones who ordered them. Actually the Emperor Hirohito was, but this was kept under the rug because the US suddenly decided to play softball.
