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

Let them howl

@chu

stupid assholes

just admit culpability

it's large and obvious and well-documented the crimes of imperial japan

but no

because why?

vile nationalists, the problem with every country in the world. and for the sake of the ignorance and bigotry of such losers, Japan will continue to suffer for it

self-inflicted damage due to idiocy

@benroyce

The Chinese are pissed exactly because of this. Just own it so everybody can move on. No. They have to pretend nothing ever happened and piss people off more.

@chu

China South Korea Philippines (etc) have every right to rake Japan over the coals on this topic

and they will

and they should

and Japan has no one to blame but itself

@benroyce @chu the more they deny it or try to hide it the more they should be called out on it.
