Believe it or not but Lemmygrad admin is not my daily job and I have to do that as well, so it might be flooded in the meantime 😤
Japanese people? Hit or miss like many others.
Japanese government? Fascist puppet stooges of the US. Unrepentant war criminals who are revisionist and deny their government’s crimes in WW2 to this day and to this day honor their WW2 war criminals with visits to the shrine where they are housed. They are at this moment re-arming and becoming increasingly aggressive towards China who they victimized in the last world war and who they deny the simple solace of acknowledgement of their crimes (Japanese nationalists harassed the Japanese author of a book on the Nanking atrocities until she killed herself and the official schoolbooks don’t tend to mention it or downplay it and other atrocities like comfort-women).
Fuck the Japanese government. Fuck Japan as it exists, has existed for over 80 years now. It’s culture is also largely reactionary. Yes there are good Japanese people, good Japanese media, even left-leaning types there. Many anti-militarists but they don’t hold sway.
Just like when I, an American say fuck America, worst nation, I am not saying every single person there is without redemption. I am pointing out the reality.
the nationalist faction of the conservative party in japan only holds about 20% of the seats in the diet and does not represent the overwhelming views of japanese people or the government, although it holds a lot of institutional power and sway, and the ultranationalist lobbyists are even smaller still. its an extreme stretch to claim that any current japanese politician is a war criminal since japan has not sent combat troops anywhere. japan has also apologized on different occasions for different things they did in ww2 and you could easily verify this by putting in google “japan apology for ww2” or something similar. and saying japanese culture is also largely reactionary is insane and shows your ignorance. everything your saying to demonize the country is an extreme stretch and not “pointing out the reality”
