      There’s a special level of evil in genociding indigenous peoples for the fun of it and nuking Japan (who was already ready to surrender) twice!

        They were literally warned multiple times and no, they were not trying to surrender.

          lmao they only refused the unconditional surrender, which detailed the complete occupation of the nation, removal of the emperor, and the arresting of all their politicians which the japanese told the americans it was unacceptable (however they agreed to the occupation).

          Well guess what? The fucking americans didn’t even bother doing their conditions right and just accepted japans previous proposal, and this was AFTER they firebombed tokyo to dust, and nuked 100,000s of people. What a shitty decrepit nation you have there.

            Maybe don’t be a genocidal, brutal, horrific, deplorable, inhumane, piece of shit and you won’t experience the consequences of your actions.

            Japan committed just as many atrocities as the Nazis. They slaughtered/raped/murdered/destroyed thousands of people.

            There’s a reason they call it the rape of nanking

              Amazing a settler like you deserves any kind of moral authority when your entire nation has wiped a whole race of people from the face of the earth. Why tf are you even talking to me about Japanese crimes against humanity, I am talking about the unnecessary american war crimes in ww2, japan was a shitty imperialist nation, why would I defend it?

              I am not from the country which actively encourages the rehabilitation of the genocidal japanese empire, and seeks a new wave nationalism within japan to share the spear. So how about you list those war crimes to your nearest politician, and get that message to them since they clearly have not got it.

        We didn’t nuke Japan for fun. We warned civilians by dropping pamphlets. They had just weaponized the bubonic plague on china. When the bombs were dropped, they had planned on doing the same biological attack on San Francisco in two weeks.

        The Japanese were arguably worse than the Nazis, but their evils during the war were erased because they were such a convenient trading partner. Not even their own citizens learn about their atrocities, especially in the way that Germany does.

          Neither of the atomic bombs had warnings, those were pamphlets for the fire bombings of Tokyo. The goal was to spread fear of what we could do to the whole world. We used Japan as a fucked up example.

          Many things they did were problematic, but I don’t remember Japan doing a Holocaust

          Edit: Thanks for the info, comrades.

            What about the invasion of mainland China? Rape of Nanking? What about the vivisection of living test subjects? Manchurian testing?

            They may not have done a holocaust, but they did a lot worse shit in other areas. The medical testing was the worst to learn about. The worst thing is they got away with it, not admitting to any of it until later. Japanese leadership completely skirted any type of Nuremberg-type consequences.
