it fucked me up being in Japan because i had never heard about any of this and my professor insisted on teaching us about this (he was not japanese) but none of the japanese students were aware. not one.

that’s partially bc under shinzo abe the entire nation of japan went through a period of extreme historical revisionism that denied japan’s involvement in war crimes and the establishment of the comfort women system—to the extent of altering textbooks!

Very few Americans especially understand how much worse the Japanese regime was even than The Reich, and we even helped them cover it up. Disgusting. Sleep well won-ok!
