I get that their economy is hosed but this isn't impressive at all. Is this really the time to be miserly?

As far as military parades go this is really underwhelming. Are they completely out of money?

Military parades in the West tend to have military bands and a bunch of old veterans, maybe some vintage WWII equipment as well. What we're watching is a hallmark of autocracies.

The only one I can think of off the top of my head is France's Bastille Day parade. It's definitely nothing close to the scale of this sort of thing but it does feature the Pioneers of the Foreign Legion in mandatory beard, axe, and leather apron uniform.

So background. The American guy who we shall call Murika is just some typical expat. Chinese guy, who we shall call Anti-PRC Paiwai or Anti-PRC for short is a translator of French and English, spent a lot of time living in North Africa, hates the CCP, but spouts hyper nationalist rhetoric. Generally he has seemed like a pretty well adjusted person, the 70th anniversary has flipped some crazy switch in his head. Here we go�

Looking back, this American guy is just as horrible.

quote:

Killin� JAPS!

Murika: Goddamnned japs! My grandfather killed many of them 70 years ago, scalped �em.

Anti-PRC: We were taught to hate the japs from very young ages and that for a good reason I suppose.

Murika: If they would at least admit what they did, they won�t even do that. If there was another war now, I don�t think Japan would do so well. It would be the opposite of World War Two, except not as bad because Chinese are not inhumane animals like the japs are. How can China ever forgive them, not just for what they did, but they won�t even admit they did it! Also, China wasn�t a unified country back then, it was like Japan wasn�t really fighting all of China, just provinces or cities, one by one�..now China is one united country and very strong. Would kill Japan.

Anti-PRC: They know better than anyone else that even if one day they did admit their crimes, we Chinese would just hate them even more. That�s actually strange mentality

Murika: Lol, I hope America keeps the gently caress out if China and Japan have future conflicts, it is so strange, Japan was going to do the same to America they were doing to China if they had the chance, and now we are their sworn ally and USA is supposed to protect them, but I think USA knows it isn�t worth protecting them as it would lead to nuclear war. I think you are right though. If you look at unit 731 Nanjing, Japanese cannibalism of Chinese civilians, it�s unforgivable. It�s probably better for the japs not to deny everything, they are so loving lucky they were shown mercy. They did not deserve it. In college it would piss me off when some jackass in class starts crying about Hiroshima and Nagasaki. gently caress them they had it coming, deserved the worst.

Some Random guy: Haters gonna HATE

Anti-PRC: US government should�ve dropped more nuke bombs back then. Japan is a perfect place for the nuclear weapon trials because the japs are loving sick, so loving sick that I strongly doubt their nature of being humans. They know better than anyone else that even if they did admit their crimes, we Chinese would just hate them even more.

Murika: They weren�t counting on losing that war, they are so lucky US and China didn�t take true revenge on them�.Are you going out tonight?

Anti-PRC: Sure

Murika: First thing MacArthur should have done was take out a gun and shoot that ugly loving emperor Hirohito in the head, I�ll never understand why they let that piece of poo poo live.

Anti-PRC: Yeah exactly. Why should they�ve let him go free? That�s why I strongly doubt the true nature of the American regime. It�s probably run by Aliens? Honestly speaking, compared to the numerous suffering this present Chinese regime has ever inflicted on us, what the japs did in the war is relatively insignificant. But we should never forget the fact that the taking over of China by the Communists had only been made possible by the Japanese invasion of China. That�s why I keep saying we can never hate too much the japs!

Murika: Good point! I heard as many as 80 million died from Communism in China. I don�t know if it�s quite that high, but it�s still horrible. We are very lucky to be alive now and not then�Actually we would probably be dead now if we were born then. So we are really lucky.

Anti-PRC: Way more people died because of the regime. The worst ever brutality which ever existed in human history! So we should go out somewhere and get legless tonight just to celebrate the happy fact that we are lucky enough not to have been born back then and had our heads chopped off by the japs!

Some guy: Without the US you would be Japanese now!

Anti-PRC: Without Chinese, the whole world is Nazis now! That is the loving bloody truth! You western people have to admit this instead of omitting our sacrifice in beating the Nazis! And by the way, the Japanese surrendered not because of the nuke bombs the US dropped, it�s because firstly they used almost all their sources in dealing with the resistance in China, secondly the Soviet Union declared war on them They surrendered because they know they were not gonna win the war, not because of the killings of the bombs. Those crazy fuckers are not afraid of dying.

Some other guy: When and where did the Chinese fight the Nazis?

Anti-PRC: We stopped the japs so that the japs didn�t carry out their jap plan with the other axis Nazis Germany and Italy. It greatly slowed down the nazi�s crazy ambitious scheme of conquering the world. The Chinese people�s contributions to the victory in WW2 has been significantly underestimated until recently, said Nikolay Samolylov, an East Asia expert in St. Petersburg. The Chinese people deserve credit for having faced te threat single-handedly in the early years of the war�. China was the world�s first nation to fight against Fascist forces.

Celebrate the war against Fascism with Xenophobic Fascist rhetoric! Yay!

So this morning I wake up and check my wechat, Anti-PRC Paiwai�s avatar is a Chinese flag (the PRC one) and he is posting about watching the big military parade. He is talking about the importance of being patriotic.

Indeed. And the worst part is that the Communists coming into power is ALL THE JAPANESE FAULT. Look at how much the Chinese have to continue to suffer at the hands of the Japanese, even 70 years after winning the war. Every problem in China over the past 70 or so years can be traced back to the Japanese. No need to take responsibility for anything!

Also Stopping the japs carrying out the jap plan and also stopping the nazis Can this be the new thread title? Please?
