Libertarian uses fascist argument
History of fascist apologism I see
That was in a comment comparing Japan to Turkey, so either you really failed to read anything else or you are expecting others to just believe you. In any case you are a clown.
What you said is meaningless. Japan isn't just unapologetic, they're actively denying that they committed war crimes. They're also governed by fascists who actively want to build the military back up, so "peaceful and harmless" for now maybe.
That I actually agree with, their future seems not so cute.
Consider also their 99% conviction rate and legal segregation
i don't wanna um actually and in no way do i think the current and prior administrations at any level which could be said to hold office has completely vindicated themselves (as i understand is the case as it is said from countries which were majorly affected, e.g. china and south korea)
i do think it's important to know the sequence of events and that there was something that some people might point to as "aha! we did apologize, what else do you want!!?"
I'm not the one to determine if a proper apology has been made, though I like to be informed what such folks might think and what the perpetrators likewise think, oh, and the history or sequence of events.
I pasted a condensed timeline here, source is wikipedia:
NOTE: This one is so lame, i don't know what the original is (i'm assuming it's translated) and this seems so watered down, especially because HE WAS ALIVE THEN ARRGHHH AND IT WAS DONE IN HIS NAME ARSDFLJKGSDKLJF
The trend is towards lameness I think. Even repeating the words someone else said before (to honor them or something) would be nice as what was said before seems to accept way more responsibility and, crucially, acknowledges the specifics of what happened.
None seem to mention the 'presumed supremacy' and 'pan-asian empire' that I think drove some of the ideology. I don't know what else to call that kind of obfuscation besides cowardice.
