We also annihilated any sense of what it mean to be "japanese", McArthur literally paraded the emperor (a god in the eyes of the Japanese at the time) around on a leash and made him talk to farmers and peasants. All the Japanese say their living god emperor, who was short, tiny, and awkward as fuck, get lead around by tall jacked white handsome men who were forcing him to talk to commoners so they would realize what a faggot he was. America buck broke Japan in that way and many more, if you understood just how important the emperor was, and how holy he was, this should shock you in how degrading it was. Not only that, but America flew in all the generals and military to oversee the reconstruction of Japan. They took all the best real estate and made them into hotels for Americas, who would be served by the finest geishas. Americans would just fuck whoever they wanted left and right, young Japanese girls would fuck old American soldiers for a sandwich or piece of candy, literally. Imagine being a Japanese man and watching this, it is beyond humiliating.
Furthermore, America set up groceries stores and super markets for the American military. They were brimming with food, beef, chicken, everything you could want, etc. And the signs to the store read "No dogs or Japanese allowed", Japanese following dogs meaning that dogs were higher ranking than Japanese. Americans would stuff their faces and carry out huge bags of groceries while Japanese people starved 5 feet away from them. Japan's infrastructure was decimated after the war and the only real source of food was from Americas importing it, and anything nice that was grown locally was given to the Americas. This is an unfathomable level of buck breaking, and the humiliation was so great that Japan developed a highly fantastical mind to cope. You know how abused children often develop highly fantastical minds? Like they imagine how good life could be because they're so broken by their surroundings?
