I don't understand this

#Germany's reckoning for #WWII was large

But #Japan's was not

Thus Japan continues to have issues on the topic

But it's just so fucking stupid. There's nothing to gain from an incomplete reckoning

It's just so nasty

@benroyce Nations that refuse to recognize their crimes against Humanity, abuses of minorities, rail against being discussed for one reason only: They are benefiting from what they did or continue to do.

Any nation worthy of its people is answerable to the history they were part of. They cannot, by virtue of any victimhood caused to them, justify abuses to people who did not cause them suffering, directly.

Japan continues to devalue women of all strata and status. Nothing learned.
