Interesting that it's always Germany that gets the full blame for the war, but never Japan. Everyone in Germany is very well educated about the horrifing things Germany did to Jews, and the rest of world, while japanese people sometimes don't even get told what they were doing during world war two.. (Don't get me wrong, I definitely think it's right for Germany to get blamed I mean they started two out of two world wars, but I feel like Japan never gets blamed, even though they make a way worse job in saying sorry and stuff)
Hiroshima was Bombed because the US wanted to show its Imperial power and menace the Communists, No Other reason, It was mass Punishment of japanese peasants and civilians.
American ones are on the path for the same thing. Anything that makes yt people uncomfortable is going to be removed so they can go and look and say "weren't we great! Yep! No atrocities here, no siree!"
Then you should spread this message in Japanese too. Most English speakers already know what Japan has done. Itβs the Japanese who are unaware. If youβre going to make an educational video about it why not make it in Japanese with subtitles or something so you know, it actually reaches a Japanese audience?
i always love what germany does with their share of war cruelties. it's a very prevalent topic in school, i heard. students are taught about it, not so they feel guilty about being a german, but so that they know their history and become a better person than their ancestors.
Seeing interviews of random Japanese people on Asian boss I was honestly a bit shocked. How can they be so ignorant to their own history when it is so widely taught. Most didn't know who Hitler was!?!? Or what the swastika represented, like what????? If they don't know that basic info I doubt they care to delve a bit deeper into and look into their own backyard.
Hiroshima peace memorial treats the atomb bomb like a "natural disaster". The US isnβt mentioned much either, only in a different hall and very scientifically so. No perpetrator on either side really, obly the hibakusha and the natural bomb.
I went to the World Scouts Jamboree in Japan in 2015, and one of the first few events we went to was going to Hiroshima to visit a museum about what the US did to Japan with the nuclear bombs. Totally one sided.
Im japanese but grew up in america i've never heard about the atrocities imperial japan caused and always learnt them in english videos even when they talk about what japan did in history books its always in like one sentence and never talked about in full detail its really important that the war crimes should be talked about in japan because ive seen many people glorify those days and its very upsetting π’
FIRE π₯ finally an influencer willing to bring this up while everyone else just keeps making content highlighting this very issues, that Japan was the victim.
I heard basically Japanese history during the 20th century focuses on their pride during industrialization strength as an empire, then they went to war, they got firebombed and nuked. It's actually kinda similar to how Americans are taught about 9/11. Most think radical Muslims just hated western civilization decided to fly planes into buildings (and don't realize they had a military presence in their country for decades)
you are forgetting something about museums, they are not a history lesson, they are meseums. which will show what the curator wants to show. if you want to show those other things you have to make your own museum. if they show just the bad things you think schools will allow their kids to got there.
War criminals are still enshrined as heroes at Yasukine shrine, and some military leaders from WWE like Isoroku Yamamoto still get praise casually in Anime and other media. Even Hiroo Onoda is treated like a patriot by a lot. π
>"I wasn't alive back then, so I shouldn't be criticized for what my ancestors did. Also it was so long ago, so stop complaining."
>"But then they cry about the nuclear bombs. You can't be a war crime denier and be a victim at the same time."
So you're saying that descendants of people who committed a crime multiple generations ago are responsible for the crimes that their ancestors committed, and that claiming they don't amounts to war crime denial?
I have a problem blaming people for thier ancestors. If I get a lecture from a femenist for what my grandfather did to her grandmother, I'll point our what her grandfather did to my grandmother. As for war crimes, there are plenty to go around, including when we dropped bombs on a certain city I can't even mention on this platform. Annoying lectures.

I like your videos but this music doesnβt suit the video at all

Boom!
reminds me of White South Africans
Itβs the same in every country. Brainwash its people to live in denial.
Go to tiananmen square and try posting a video of what happened in 1989.
Same for american museum:/
Weebs combusting as they realize Japan is a racist colonizer genocide nation
Yeah, as a german this is so wild to me β¦
American ones are on the path for the same thing. Anything that makes yt people uncomfortable is going to be removed so they can go and look and say "weren't we great! Yep! No atrocities here, no siree!"
The general public are bad enough but try asking sanseito members on what happened in 1940s
Cry harder
America paid japanese and german torturers to work for them after the war. this was the start of CIA black sites.
Stop complaining if youβre living there
Funny and hypocritical for an US American to have this take π
After WW2 Germany was forced to apologize, pay reparations and admit their war crimes. Japan wasn't forced to do any of this.
That's why I don't get why people glaze on japan and its people. I say they got off easy after ww2, fk them all.

Japan had surrendered. America still droppedthe bomb.
For those who don't know, look up the rape of Nanking, it'll chill you to your bone

USA shouldβve annexed Japan. They lost and they shouldnβt have a country. πππ
Just like slavery here in the US. White people say it's so long ago, I didn't do it my ancestors did!

Soveteign Interest is a duty of the population to uphold.
The Hypocrisy is irrelevant.
It comrs down to harm done to You.
Simple.
Mind your own bussiness lady
Im japanese but grew up in america

Randomly came across this channel
And subscribing it is the best decision I made so far

The more you learn about Japan, the more you realize how full of π© it is as well. Itβs just that people uphold the country on a pedestal so much that they refuse to acknowledge the contradicting and sometimes even counterproductive behaviors and rhetoric that is constantly pushed in that country by the locals.
Minus the tunes this is exactly right
Holocaust museums are literally global sympathy projects
I heard basically Japanese history during the 20th century focuses on their pride during industrialization strength as an empire, then they went to war, they got firebombed and nuked.

Umm, no country except prob germany has their dark past stamped in their museums.
you are forgetting something about museums, they are not a history lesson, they are meseums. which will show what the curator wants to show. if you want to show those other things you have to make your own museum. if they show just the bad things you think schools will allow their kids to got there.

Just smuggle Pearl Harbor movie into Japan school and Museum.
Bruh have a Beef with Japan π
In Singapore, we learnt how Japanese soldiers cut up pregnent women and throw the unborn babies in the air to see who can pierce it with their guns.

So you're saying that descendants of people who committed a crime multiple generations ago are responsible for the crimes that their ancestors committed, and that claiming they don't amounts to war crime denial?
What is the point of visiting Japan just to endlessly shit on by pointing out information literally everyone already knows about?
