It was to kiss Japanese behinds. They also allowed most Nazis to also get off scot free.

@Emmaem111 That's nonsense. Their culture allowed them to do that. Other soldiers in other countries did not do such things and they had suffered even more. Japan had a toxic culture in the 1930s. Some of that still remains.

Covered up to appease Japanese conglomerates.

Why do you want to live there? You'll never be accepted.

@rg3721 He doesn't criticise his country nearly as much as America. America which saved his country from communism.

@jc_so_riyl They are not clueless. There concept of honesty and justice are Western concepts. Japan, unless they are Westernized will not follow that and so it's honourable to worship killers. It's also OK to lie in Japan as long as you don't upset the society or make things uncomfortable for others. In the West we grew up that lies per se are bad, they don't have that unless they grew up in the Christian tradition - about 1-2 million of them.

Look up Nanking.

It's also not true that Germany teaches about WW2. They teach the Holocaust only but for example most Germans don't know that their Third Reich killed 20% of the Polish population in WW2.

Westerners don't. Chinese and Koreans do. And anyone who survived Japanese POW captivity. So unless you mean Westeners by 'people' then yes, but if you mean people as all Homo Sapiens then billions do consider them evil at that time. And sadly many Japanese now seem to ignore this history.

@ryelor123 Sorry this is not true. Yes Japanese are different but also Japanese are the same as us. I don't know if you personally know any Japanese but I do and I find Japanese closer to central Europeans than to Anglos. It's you guys who are different I could say. Secondly NO. The Nazis were not about simple eugenics which has been mostly ended unless you speak about termination of pregnancy for reasons of preference or to terminate babies with Donw's Syndrome. The German Nazis committed horrible acts of industrial un-aliving of millions of Jews, Poles, Roma, Greeks, Belarussians, Ukrainoians. Russians, and others. If you claim they can't defend that, that is pure nonsense. How can you defend un-aliving innocent people? What is your argument pro it? There can be no arguments from this. Japan gets a pass because the Americans needed and need Japan against the USSR and PRC. That's all. Japanese like the West Germans got off scot free for WW2. In West Germany many ex- NSDAP returned to work. You can see how the German BNP was made up of Gestapo for example. Or how NSDAP doctors returned to work for the West German republic.

Many Japanese have a superiority complex. Thankfully the rise of other countries will make you people more humble and that will be good for your mental and moral health in the long run. You still have too much self absorbed nationalism.

Racism does that. They didn't consider the Chinese human even though Japan was civilised by Chinese culture in ancient times.

@scroopynooperz9051 Well it's sort of valid. It was never conducted properly as research methods were in their infancy in the 30s and Japan was also way behind the West in those.

@sinaiis957 People do this to people right now, today. There is no need to speak of animals. What gets me is that some people concern themselves with the plight of animals more than of people. I think the NSDAP party was such a party which was more worried about trees than human beings. The Society of prevention of cruelty to animals was founded in Britain ahead of laws to protect little children from exploitation.

@sinaiis957 Forgive me but I see an environmentalist agenda here. These people were seen as inferior because of racism but not even that. People of same race have been seen as inferior. To this day people from former Eastern Europe are seen as inferior by those from the rich countries. I think for lack of better use people were seen as animals because what else is there? There are human beings, animals and plants and inanimate objects. Man is the only rational animal. We are special because we think rationally and we are self aware and we make moral judgements. (other) animals don't. But that does not justify cruelty to animals. The sad thing is that here we had experiments on even children and obviously on people who could communicate that they suffered, similar to what the Germans did in the 30s and 40s. As for what's acceptable it is definitely acceptable to experiment on animals for important reasons but not cause them suffering. And it is definitely acceptable to un-alive animals to eat them or use their byproducts but only in the way that does not incur suffering on them. It is only acceptable to un-alive people either in self defense or defense of others against aggression and also try to do it with least pain and also in the case of capital punishment where that is judged to be moral. Both of these fall away in the matter of innocents. It's never permissible to harm innocents on purpose or by intention. The bombings of London, Warsaw, Tokyo, Berlin, Hiroshima were all immoral acts where the civilians were purposefully targeted. If military or factory objects were targeted and civilians unalived incidentally and unavoidably that was permissible. It is never morally acceptable to un-alive or harm an innocent by intent.

How can you consider Japan developed when women are treated so poorly by men in Japan? When CSAM material was legal in Japan until recently? When they still sexualize kids as 'junior idols'? I think you do hate Korea and China when you say Japan is fully developed and they are not. By what metric? By cherry picked economic metrics, but sociological ones? How do you account for the things I mentioned and the revisionist attitude of Japanese? Developed? Really?
1
@themk4982 Who isn't racist? But who invaded who in WW2? Japan invaded them and not vice versa. Secondly Westerners are also racist. America was built on slavery and exploitation of immigrants who were treated poorly. Europe too. But only a few countries stooped as low as Germany and Japan.

@lady_acid They are not malicious because they were beaten in WW2 and they are protected by America otherwise they'd be a Russian/Chinese vassal by now. They lost the war completely. They got off very easy by the West pumping money into them and protecting them after WW2 whereas maybe they should have been turned into an agrarian society as was the plan for Germany. So they and the Germans got off very lucky.

@alixver2488 The Japanese were never seen as white. In Versailles after WW1 ended the leading Western negotiators lamented the presence of the Japanese and said they were 'ugly' people. So you are mistaken. This is some sort of orientalism you've read up.
1
@alixver2488 But Japan was not developed prior to Meiji. I think you're cherry picking people who probably had business interests and wanted investment to set up trading stations there.

@isabelledupond1660 People can feel superior but may not be superior, well superior in cruelty maybe such people can be. But let's forget those times. There is no excuse to not formally apologise and own up to one's past sins and teach about them. One should always take the good with the bad.

As a Korean, you guys need to overtake Japan and then humble them. Being rich they think they are untouchable. Well overtake them and then use your financial clout to force them to apologise.

Not just that unit. But across Asia Japan was horrible to people. Japan was one of the evil powers in the 1930s/40s.

Good story. Thank you for sharing. My grandfather was a POW, killed by the Germans, while he was a POW. Other grandfather was put in prison for nothing and died there-- they tortured him to death. My grandmother was a slave labourer taken fron Poland but she was treated well by her farmer masters.

To this day so many Japanese media are obsessed with 'hentai' and other perverted things.
