japan is thousands of years old while the period its reductively called fascist was only 19 years long and was 78 years ago. in those 78 years the country has gone through massive changes from america tearing down many institutions to america starting the reverse course in 1947 to cement conservatism to the rise of the 1955 system to the 1959 anpo protests. and thats all the history I’m pointing out lasted 19 years, an equal amount of time japan was fascist, yet you don’t seem to care. japan has the world’s largest non-ruling communist party yet you don’t seem to care. I think the problem is your prejudice than with the japanese people being so bad
