Been watching this video about Japan’s “rebranding” post WW2/America fucking them over in the late 1800s and it makes it so apparent. Kinda sickening the right will preach about indoctrination then primarily traditional christian schooling will not provide the global context of the country’s actions
The messaging post WW2 is very obvious in retrospect, especially in relation to Japan essentially becoming a proxy state to spy on Japan/North Korea and setting up a western style economy in a country that was isolated from the world for a very long time
Yeah, and I would assume the (rightful) repulsion of the German Concentration Camps of Jews, etc., overshadowed the broader injustices of the Japanese of its neighbors. All western exploitation notwithstanding.

I’ve long known about what they did to their neighbors, but perhaps I also felt bad b/c of atomic bombing.
