yellowcar posted:i believe one of the reasons for the big push to militarism is currently japanese law prohibits selling weapons overseas and japan wants to get in on the MIC racket They already fixed that law and was trying to sell submarine to the Aussies. China did something and kiboshed that deal (probably showed the aussies they could detect the Japanese sub sound profile). So the Aussie switched to the French subs. Before they hosed the french and switched to the American nuclear subs lol.

From what I understand, white Americans in the rust belt after 2008 just get into all kind of drugs includeing Fentanyl, which shorten their life expectancy; while the Japanese who grow up in the "lost decades" just become frugal as gently caress, which doesn't necessarily impact their long life expectancy. If you have been to a Daiso store, that's the Japanese lost decade.

I guess the rust belt and the Midwest aren’t that different but there seemed to be a point in Japan where they just stopped building new buildings and everything sort of froze in time. It is hard to not watch something about modern day Japan and just think “everything still looks like thr early 1990s.” Russia was that way way into the 2010s.

maybe the 1951Treaty of Peace with Japan after the Tokyo War Crimes Tribunal (that shinzo abe's grandfather, nobusuke kishi was at)quote:Historian John W. Dower wrote that the campaign to absolve Emperor Hirohito of responsibility "knew no bounds." He argued that with MacArthur's full approval, the prosecution effectively acted as "a defense team for the emperor," who was presented as "an almost saintly figure" let alone someone culpable of war crimes.[35] He stated, "Even Japanese activists who endorse the ideals of the Nuremberg and Tokyo charters and who have labored to document and publicize the atrocities of the Shōwa regime cannot defend the American decision to exonerate the emperor of war responsibility and then, in the chill of the Cold War, release and soon afterwards openly embrace accused right-winged war criminals like the later prime minister Nobusuke Kishi."[40] quote:Forty-two suspects, such as Nobusuke Kishi, who later became Prime Minister, and Yoshisuke Aikawa, head of Nissan, were imprisoned in the expectation that they would be prosecuted at a second Tokyo Tribunal but they were never charged. They were released in 1947 and 1948. quote:The International Prosecution Section (IPS) of the SCAP decided to try the seventy Japanese apprehended for "Class A" war crimes in three groups. The first group of 28 were major leaders in the military, political, and diplomatic sphere. The second group (23 people) and the third group (nineteen people) were industrial and financial magnates who had been engaged in weapons manufacturing industries or were accused of trafficking in narcotics, as well as a number of lesser known leaders in military, political, and diplomatic spheres. The most notable among these were: quote:In 1950, after most Allied war crimes trials had ended, thousands of convicted war criminals sat in prisons across Asia and Europe, detained in the countries where they had been convicted. Some executions had not yet been carried out, as Allied courts agreed to reexamine their verdicts. Sentences were reduced in some cases, and a system of parole was instituted, but without relinquishing control over the fate of the imprisoned (even after Japan and Germany had regained their sovereignty).

Nobusuke "oh poo poo oh gently caress" Kishi, to those who get history from mapgames. and the cowards who make those mods those are stepping away from that, they should be ashamed, that's a straight-up "enemies appear as angels" event like the new VS stage. But it happened, with CIA approval!  E: You get a 1940s Japanese fascism that is actually the liberals giving a fash medals until he won't shoot them when he's on leave! You get a 1940s Japanese fascism that is actually the liberals giving a fash medals until he won't shoot them when he's on leave! Everyone here is getting a 1940s Japanese fascism that is actually the liberals giving lots of the fash medals until they won't shoot them personally, but they can go shoot the proletariat and the social fascists equally without question. It is the loving garbage of a failed history just let the dolphins rule in a few million years, customized to let the :snakes:s make SURE it's ruined.

I feel like the hand-wringing over discussion on the "Chinternet" is somewhat overblown and a bit dated at this juncture. The proudly scurrilous nature of China's "netizens" and their seemingly endless capacity to deploy homonyms and/or re-use the terms of officialdom with massive overdoses of sarcasm seems to render the GFW and other tools of harmonisation moot. For example, Friday saw heavy weibo mention of the mando-pop song "shame its not you / "可惜不是你“ following Abe Shinzo's death. The unspecified target of the comment was XJP. These comments existed openly and are very much In stark contrast to the unofficially desirable hyper-nationalistic alternative. It keeps happening, and while the party can change your QR code, it is widely recognised that for the party to act in such a fashion is too politically expensive a gambit. As such, the situation exists that the youth defacto have free reign to openly 'sarcastically' wish death upon the Chairman without fear of reprisal. I am cogniscent of the very problematic chilling effect on public open academic debate beyond the cheap shots of sarcastic wit. But, I feel it will be a short lived condition. When a not small proportion of the younger generation seem to be quite happy to turn what would normally be a cesspool of vitriol against a "common enemy" into a thinly veiled death threat to the current leadership, it is the leadership with a problem, not the kids. As ugly as it sounds, I'm proud to see this in the generations behind mine. Similarly, the kids in HK who took charges for holding a blank sheet of paper in public". The problematic hyper-nationalistic 'little pinks' and the 'wolf-warrior diplomats' are reliant on a cohesive narrative. It seems very apparent that maintaining that narrative is an open struggle given that the Party is in open warfare mode to the extent that the PM is contradicting the Chairman. It's also apparent that those problem groups have been instructed to dial back their rhetoric. I read today (belatedly) that the party is recently admitting to errors in COVID response/financial management/and diplomacy. I feel that is redundant to mention here, but this 'honest and vulnerable' approach will obviously only last as long as it takes to sign a new trade deal.
