the nationalist faction of the conservative party in japan only holds about 20% of the seats in the diet and does not represent the overwhelming views of japanese people or the government, although it holds a lot of institutional power and sway, and the ultranationalist lobbyists are even smaller still. its an extreme stretch to claim that any current japanese politician is a war criminal since japan has not sent combat troops anywhere. japan has also apologized on different occasions for different things they did in ww2 and you could easily verify this by putting in google “japan apology for ww2” or something similar. and saying japanese culture is also largely reactionary is insane and shows your ignorance. everything your saying to demonize the country is an extreme stretch and not “pointing out the reality”
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
they have a higher age of consent than my country and also higher than china and its a country of 122 million people sheesh way to generalize a whole group of people off of basically nothing
