>>1768505too dangerous/taboo. japan still understands it's military past as something better not mentioned outside of the country. internally (atleast older generations) they'll justify it but externally they're mum or apologetic or meekly defensive/retractive by saying it wasn't real japanese people doing it, the emperor had no clue (etc)
it's kinda like how germany views ww2 but only externally. internally they don't seem to care nearly as much as the germans, and they allow defense of their actions.
i mean these are the same people who are allies with the people they got nuked by twice. doesn't take a genius to figure out they're not exactly proud of that time period.
