japanese sugar coated bombs
the new prime minister of japan ticks me off. and i will explain why soon enough.
why am i typing this here instead of my chinese blog? let me share with you a story of a Chinese person and her landlord.
In WWII the Japanese committed extreme atrocities in China that is, though to a lesser scale, no less vicious in nature and cruelty than the German atrocities in Europe. After the war, China even dropped much of the war compensation which enabled Japan to rebuild on a very fast scale.
And yet, to this day, they have yet to offer a public apology. They have yet to publicly accept responsibility for the countless innocents...YES, INNOCENT CIVILIANS, not soldiers, research the rape of nanking please...that they have slaughtered. In recent years there had been trials in Japan for compensation to those who were forced into cruel inhumane labor during WWII by Japanese companies, and look how the Japanese fought tooth and nails to keep every cent they have and refuse to pay compensation.
The Chinese person mentioned above told these things to her Australian landlord.
The landlord lady got angry, and told her, "Don't talk about them like this!"
...like what.
LIKE WHAT, LADY?!
like the still-not-apologized former murderers that they are?!
a survey done in japan reflected that the general attitude was to NOT APOLOGIZE simply because they haven't worked out the exact number of victims.
it's like saying, oh, we only killed 300 thousand (numbers are examples) not 400 thousand so we won't apologize (actual numbers are higher) because couple hundreds of thousands of people's lives taken DO NOT COUNT AS MASSACRE.
awesome. this is the japanese society the world loves so much.
This is why I'm posting this here, where many English speaking members watch this lonely little journal.
Because I feel obligated to, by my ancestry. There is nobody in the world who cares about the past mishaps, does anyone realize what is happening?
There are laws and protocols put into place that germany and japan, the losers of WWII, their military can only remain inside their borders and may not carry any international missions.
This is a remainder and a control set in place because of their atrocious behavior in the past.
And yet, just because nobody wants to pick up the US's shit of a war in Iraq, few years ago, Japan silently broke this rule when they sent troops to Iraq. In reality they can argue that it's only as backup but in actuality it's a stemp to their army once again moving outside of their borders. Many people take it at face value, the world finds peace with this, and yet if you read into it, the hidden meanings are extreme.
The country that only learnt to officially recognize the Rape of Nanking as a massacre last year and is yet to apologize for its slaughter rampage in Asia is now capable of moving its armies outside its borders once again.
Now, we move to the issue related to the title.
There has been, as all of you may have heard, a new prime minister in Japan.
He reassured China that, should he become prime minister, he will NOT visit the controversial war shrine. Instead, he will built a non-religious related state graveyard and pay his homage there.
...
OH MY FUCKING GOD. CAN YOUR MOUTH SPILL MORE SHIT?! WHEN HAS IT EVEN BEEN SIMPLY ABOUT THE RELIGION?!
the real issue at hand is as following:
controversial war shrine--> buries war criminals from WWII--> previous prime ministers pay homage to the war shrine, to show "respect" to the shrine which includes the war crminals-->disrespect to the victims.
and how is building a graveyard any different, Einstein? orz
I can almost understand that if the graves were moved to a normal graveyard, the families of those buried can go visit, but this is the same with the war shrine right now.
The issue at hand is the prime minister paying homage to the graves of the war criminals, whether it be in the war shrine or in a normal shrine ,it makes no difference. those with family can say they go there for personal reasons, I have nothing to say to that though personally I believe the perpetrators deserve no respect or flowers, only spit on their grave.
The problem is, the prime ministers go with an entourage, making it a political visit, which is UNACCEPTABLE in any way. WHY would a prime minister visit (with his political title, not a personal visit to family) the place where war criminals are buried to pay respect?! IT SAYS THAT THE COUNTRY HAD NOT LEARNT THEIR LESSON, STILL RESPECT THEIR ATROCITIES AND PAST WARS, and thus are LIKELY TO DO IT AGAIN BECAUSE (also because they haven't seen the point in apologing for the atrocities yet) THEY DON'T FULLY REALIZE THAT IT IS WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG.
I can only hope that what he means is that they'll build a new graveyard that's all civilians and free of war criminals for him to visit. Otherwise, I hope to see his soul in hell as soon as possible.
