That particular one might be fake but it's not like it is that far fetched, honestly there's this dude (who got in trouble granted but there are a lot more that don't): https://abcnews.go.com/US/owner-pay-pray-website-ordered-return-78m-consumers/story?id=37728398 or in India there's https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2018/11/apps-that-answer-your-prayers/570805/ quote:How can i get a divine intervention for my career? That’s the question Ravi Ganne, a young investment banker in Bangalore, typed into Google seven years ago. His search results led him to the website of a new company called ePuja. For about $15, the start-up would have a puja, a Hindu devotional-prayer ritual, performed on his behalf at one of its many in-network temples.

Yeah Japan looked at Germany and said "hold my sake" Really the thing that sucks is while Germany is fully on board (ostensibly) with anti-nazi stuff and teaching about the past, Japan still kind of glosses over it and gets indignant if you try to call them on it. Also Unit 8604 Also Unit 100 Probably also bunch of other poo poo quote:In 2006, Toyo Ishii—a nurse who worked at the school during the war—revealed that she had helped bury bodies and pieces of bodies on the school's grounds shortly after Japan's surrender in 1945. In response, in February 2011 the Ministry of Health began to excavate the site.[56] A shameful display Moridin920 has issued a correction as of 03:00 on May 17, 2019 |

Moridin920 posted:Yeah Japan looked at Germany and said "hold my sake" It's pretty fundamental to Japanese politics really. Japan is functionally a one party state so what determines if you're left wing or right wing in Japanese politics is your relationship to history and specifically Japan's role in WWII. The Japanese "right" are what you described, basically they think Japan has done enough to atone and shouldn't have to conduct itself any differently to other countries now, while the Japanese "left" think that Japan's pacifism and postwar reconciliatory IR stance is fundamental to Japan's identity. Unfortunately the (far) right is still stupidly powerful in Japanese politics. But they're a small minority with disproportionate power.

It's a shame too because their subject matter is extremely my poo poo.

Also there's this: quote:However, Shigetaka Kurita, director of Kadokawa Dwango corporation, criticized Azur Lane for lacking the sense of "tragedy and heroism" in Kantai Collection. Kurita described the game as "merely an idol action game with a fleet motif". He found the greatest appeal of Kantai Collection to be the "sorrow of the Imperial Japanese Navy" saying that one might cry while playing Kantai Collection but not Azur Lane.

I don't think a lot a of people who post here understand that not everyone grows up in New York or LA. A lot of people grow up in little loving hick towns and when you graduate from high school your options are (1.)be smart and rich and successful and have a rich family and go to a nearby expensive college in a populated town, (2.) try to scrape by with some warehouse job that might suddenly disappear someday without warning and (3.)join the military which always has money and is always hiring and maybe you have to do some poo poo but what else are you going to do

Yeah I've got a friend who joined out of high school because literally not even the McDonald's was hiring. Getting deployed to Syria broke his brain and now he's super anti-interventionist, not a full communist (yet) but he fuckin' hates the military and what it does. Are Troops aren't all write-offs.

Also, it can be argued that there is a qualitative difference between 'having failed at denazification' and deliberately stopping with the plan to carry it out in any meaningful fashion because of Cold War strategic concerns. The latter is what happened in West Germany, along with a stoppage in the parallel de-cartelization program, beacuse again preserving large established industrial concerns was a more favorable move for Western strategic interests wrt opposing the Soviet Union.
