I think this is an early piece of reporting that portraits Japan as victim.
I find this video more convincing, because most things produced by Asian people condemning Japanese war crime during wwii is usually not well received: https://youtu.be/lnAC-Y9p_sY https://youtu.be/lnAC-Y9p_sY
This is not necessarily propaganda. But the author sure forget who caused this tragedy and who should be held responsible. They only saw the human tragedy suffered by people in Hiroshima. And trying to depict a scenarios that the suffering is general human tragedy.
Of course, it’s not. It’s a tragedy of normal citizens fell for the war propaganda, and willingly start and continue an atrocious war crime against Asian and other peiceful living people.
- equalunique 8y agoForgetting Japan's bloody past as an imperialist power in SE Asia is convenient when Americans are dazzled by the novelties of samurai warriors, sushi, jujitsu, anime, zen, etc.
- justicezyx 8y agoNot sure why this is down voted. Japanese culture before wwii in general is on the more brutal and inhuman side on the world culture spectrum. The romanticized Japanese scenarios in American pop culture is pretty much a product of the entertainment industry, as this op states.
