im always curious just how many babies were actually bayonetted. like theres one picture that everyone talks about but was it a thing tons of guys were doing constantly, or is it just a thing everyone says and it really only happened 1-2 times? "They raped young girls and grabbed young babies from their mothers and bayoneted them in the behind. They beat me on many parts of my body and I still can't walk well, " said Ms Zhang like in this quote (tragic regardless) the only reason im thinking maybe she isnt parroting the common belief is that she was actually there

Don't let Chinese hyper-nationalist fuckery distract from the fact that the Rape of Nanking really was actually that bad. It was Holocaust level atrocities. The biggest irony is that the people who use it as a propaganda cudgel (the CCP) are themselves guilty of similar atrocities on a similar scale to the same country.

The signed letter in the Rape of Nanking museum from Literally Hitler asking the Japanese to maybe tone it down a bit is a classic. If the nationalists were focused on hating Imperial Japan I'd be 100% with them. They were awful and destroying the Japanese empire was a boon to the world. Generalizing that to Japan 2018 is the problem.

IMO, it's annoying that some lines of the Metro I was taking made the women cars the first and last cars. I'm one of those passengers that only takes the first or last cars because the middle is the soggy stinky part where 80% of the passengers in the Mainland cram into because the escalators are there and the other parts require walking. The drat transit authority took the best cars in the whole train. Anyway, when they introduced this scheme in Shenzhen until I left, there amount of men in the cars, by spite or not, was barely less than had they never come up with it. It is China, after all. Don't make people lose face with signs and stuff, etc.

When I was working in Bangkok, one of the normally very upbeat secretaries at the school was talking about Burmese laborers working in Thailand, how there are lots of them in industries like construction and fishing, and how they often get treated poorly, paid less, beaten by their employers, etc and capped it off with a 100% sincere “and they deserve it, because they burned Ayutthaya! I know it’s going to come across differently for different cultures, but the siege of Ayutthaya happened in 1767, making that grudge older than my entire country

I need to know exactly how many babies and young girls were raped and gutted before I can decide if I feel bad about this, or if I can despise the Chinese even more for exaggerating the number of child murders. Any stats goons want to chime in?

Today's face entertainment: woman walks up to escalator going down automatically. Tge escalator is next to the stairs. But because she'd walked to the escalator clearly retreating would lose face. No, clearly she MEANT to slowly inch her way down a slippery metal death case. also it was raining

I also don't believe in condemning people whose parents/grandparents did bad things. Obviously now in 2018 the original people are mostly dead, but for some reason German war criminals were still being arrested and prosecuted in this decade. I feel though that alot of people just do not understand how intrinsically bad these people were in the same visceral way that Nazi brings up images of unrelenting evil, so let me translate that over a bit. Like imagine for instance if Heinrich Himmler was later elected to be the leader of Germany, his political party going on to dominate German politics for decades to come up to the present day. Later when his grandson Gunter Himmler fills the same position, he pays his respects at the Nazi war heroes memorial specifically honoring Adolf Hitler and makes one of the hallmarks of his administration downplaying and whitewashing Nazi atrocities. Meanwhile, the the SS Veterans clubs meets in Berlin. The organizer states proudly that their work was entirely justified. Many of the criminals in Germany at least had to live their lives in fear for decades. In Japan, those same people are enthusiastically accepted in Japanese society and there is no public repudiation of their crimes. Just a Shikata Ga Nai war that happened in the Pacific for some reason than Amerikkka cruelly nuked them and here we are. The victim complex is palpable. So while I see that China happily abuses its past history to distract people from more pressing, domestic problems, I do not really see how anyone can claim that the general feeling in Japan is one of contrition or admission of wrong-doing.

That’s why America and China are working together to keep Korea split.”

Germany really is a shining example of how politics of history should be done - sure, there's some far-right elements rising as we speak, but your ordinary German will just basically go "yeah we really went loving off the handle there for a moment, glad you reined us in" when someone untactful brings WW2 up. Contrast to every other imperialist country ever, with the most glaring offenders usually being Asian countries with a chip on their shoulder and ~5000 years of ressentiments to gleely throw at their neighbours faces at every opportunity. Nationalism is a helluva drug!

When I was in Beijing a professor told me that the Chinese have a saying that goes something like "it's better to kneel like the Germans than to stand proudly like the Japanese". Maybe someone itt can c/d this.
