You who call the Japanese stupid, do you have a brilliant idea for Japan to break free from the US's tight ties and become independent?
The United States gave the northern part of the Korean Peninsula, which had been annexed to Japan, to the communist powers, and established a puppet state in the southern part, which was primarily anti-Japanese.
The CCP has used anti-Japanese propaganda to vent the dissatisfaction of the domestic people, and the United States has also used it to encourage it.
It seems that the United States has been working to surround Japan with communist and anti-Japanese nations, and then have them oppose the revision of the Japanese constitution, and to make Japan, which has no defense capability, do whatever the United States does.
Also, Japanese politicians who have made moves to amend the constitution or seek independence from the United States are often ousted in scandals or met unnatural deaths.
Then, what do you think Japan should do to break free from US rule?

As the current US president said in H!||ary's cheering speech in 2016, it is the US that created the current Japanese constitution.
Of course, this was a violation of international law, and even if the United States was victorious in the war, it should not have been forced on the defeated nations.
What's even worse is that this constitution sets a very high hurdle so that it can't be changed easily.
Constitutional amendment requires the approval of 2/3 of the House of Representatives, 2/3 of the House of Councilors, and 2/3 of the referendum.
On the other hand, Japanese educational institutions are dominated by leftists and communists. Because GHQ wiped out the conservatives from these positions and put the leftists and communists there. Of course, they have ties to American leftists or China, so they teach Japanese children that it is bad for Japan to have military power. Their education is like "Japan was an evil invader. It is an atonement to maintain Article 9 of the Peace Constitution."
The historical fact is that the United States hunted Japan and caused the attack on Pearl Harbor. But that fact is uneducated and lies to the students to instill feelings of sin. As MacArthur told the Senate shortly after his return to the United States, most of Japan's wars were for national security. In other words, even though Japan has made it clear that it was self-defense, not aggression.
That's why Japanese are not patriotic and try not to think about the Constitution. This has been going on for over 77 years. And now most voters are such educated people.
Not only the United States but also other countries are complicit in brainwashing the Japanese by supporting and believing in the distorted history rewritten by the Allied Powers.
If you want to say the Japanese people to "wake up from the brainwashing education and brush up their own defense capabilities by becoming independent from the United States," before that, you should stop cooperating with the brainwashing that you are complicit in and show the facts, I think, though.

What you are saying shows that you are not familiar with the postwar history of Japan and the United States, or the current situation in Japan.
It is left-wing thinkers and communists who argue that the pacifist constitution that the United States created keeps war away. After the war, GHQ removed conservatives from important posts. Left-wing thinkers and communists filled the vacancies instead.
Many sane silent majority do not have such naive thinking.
By the way, it is the Chinese and Koreans who are holding anti-base demonstrations around the base.
The United States first experienced the horrors of communist ideology during the Korean War. After that, there was a purge of communist forces in the United States.
In Japan, communists were detained as thought criminals until the end of the war. However, GHQ released those thought criminals.
As a result, communist thinkers came to have a certain amount of power. And GHQ was unable to carry out a purge of communists in Japan because they themselves placed leftists and communists in important posts.
Therefore, the only threats made to the Japanese communists were the threat of being purged if they defied the United States.
"Did MacArthur do well?"
Hahaha, he locked Japan in a "peace" constitution. He created a system to put Japanese under speech control and brainwash them with a distorted history written by the Allies. , he created a genocide system that slowly erased old Japan and turned it into a corrupt communist state.
I don't think this system is good for not only Japan but also America and the world.
Because if Japan disappears and is swallowed by China, the Chinese Communist Party will become the world's hegemon. (Well Obama has tried to do that)
But the United States, which can stop this genocidal system, will not do so because of its self-centered greed.
By the time you find out who's really stupid, it's too late.
