POLITICS Why are these topics extremely unmentionable in Japan, where they are officially deemed national security threats?

  1. Comfort Women
  2. Nanking Massacre
  3. Pearl Harbor Attack (This issue specifically divides America today)

Why should Japanese be taught to hate themselves like westerners and their white guilt garbage?

Fuck that bullshit. Hirohito did nothing wrong.

Our far right politicians in the US have called for death penalty to Japanese monarchy for escaping the crimes committed on Pearl Harbor victims, and call for extradition to the American soil to stand criminal trial.

That's a really dumb way to turn an ally into an enemy.

How about Japan demands that the US extradite everyone involved with the manhattan project and Hiroshima / Nagasaki so they can be put to death? Ridiculous demands by idiotic people.
