- Mithaldu 12y agoJapan lost too, but, as much as i love the country, its people and its ideas, they have largely chosen to not teach their citizens that war did happen.

- Mithaldu 12y ago> Comparing the crimes of Germany and Japan during WWII is beyond ridiculous. I am not, i am talking about the difference of treatment of the entire event decades afterwards. > The entirety of Germany society turned into the KKK Saying this as a german: Haha, fuck you too buddy, you and the horse you rode in on. You are so unbelievably ignorant, or so harshly trolling, that you are a prime example of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe's_law http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe's_law

- Mithaldu 12y ago> I don't actually think every single German citizen during WWII was a card carrying Nazi Regardless of what you were thinking, you said it and i could not have possibly known that you were not actually thinking that, precisely because i have encountered a great and numerous amount of people in my years who do carry that belief. I was not joking when i told you that you were literally indistinguishable from both a very motivated troll and a complete prejudiced ignorant, with no feasible way of determining which it was. If you don't think something, don't say it. Speak earnestly. Don't troll.

- dethstar 12y agoYet the KKK still exists in America, doesnt seem to be considered as evil?
- Crito 12y agoWhile there are a few groups that call themselves the KKK, as an actual national organization they were gutted by the FBI decades ago. Whenever any self-styled "KKK" group gets large enough, the FBI infiltrates and guts them as well. It is hard to weed out a general mindset or philosophy entirely, but tearing down organizations is surprisingly easy.
- FeeTinesAMady 12y agoMind you, there's a downside to that. An FBI that can infiltrate and dismantle the KKK at will can do the same to any legitimate movement for change, like Occupy, etc.
- adventured 12y agoNo, it's not ridiculous, it's appropriate. The genocide Japan committed against China, in which they murdered millions of people, is every bit as horrible as the atrocities the Nazis committed. Further, the Japanese committed genocide against many other nations in Asia as well during that era. Unit 731 did things to people that were very comparable to the worst atrocities of the Nazi regime.

- trekky1700 12y agoHow are death camps, the specific targeting of civilians, medical experimentation on detainees, burying prisoners alive and even cannibalism covered under "war of conquest". When does it become genocide? How is it any different (if not worse for its unparalleled scale) than what the Nazis did? They didn't just target Chinese civilians, they targeted the civilians of every nation they invaded. This includes the British civilians in Singapore and Hong Kong who were sent to ghettos and labour camps, few of who survived. And this was the "preferential" treatment the Brits got. The Chinese and other Asians got far, far worse.

- sschueller 12y agoIt is not that unique. The Germans have dealt with their history and accepted their wrong doings. I don't see a German Football team named "The SS" playing in the playoffs. [1] [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redskin_(slang) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redskin_(slang)
- iopq 12y agoI don't see the Redskins playing in the playoffs either!
- ekianjo 12y agoTo be fair Japanese schools don't teach anything remotely useful about the world in general. The level of general culture over here is abysmal.
