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.

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!
