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 It is universally evil o be an ethnostate, and ethnostates engage in a lot of similar and predictable behavior.
Seriously... I think ethnostates should be on the same level as theocracies and universally embargoed.
@AeonCypher @benroyce what if we just didnt have states

@imanormalperson @benroyce My experience with Anarchists, people who were well read on intentional communities, is that they:
- Have important things that just aren't done.
- Have important things that get done by a tiny fraction of people until they rage quit
- Enact injustices against vulnerable people in their group
- Allow abusers and manipulators to thrive amongst them

No thanks.

@benroyce @AeonCypher come on man i thought you were better than this how can you oppose political violence while turning a blind eye to the violence of the state
@imanormalperson @AeonCypher i'm not a peacenik. the problem is stupid violence. if it comes to violence we'll be ready. we have to be smart
@benroyce @AeonCypher show me a government what wouldnt have let my parents abuse me
@benroyce @AeonCypher if stupid violence is the problem than the liberal government where i live should have shot my mother in the fucking head
