What are methods the japs used to get away with what they did?
>>18439292The tl;dr is that anticolonial and civil wars kicked off in most countries of the region postwar, so nobody had much energy to remind the Japanese of what they did there. The Japanese initially really didn't do much, I understand. For a while, they could coast by on having been nuked, and the internal conflict between the Teacher's Union and conservative interest groups concerning the interpretation of the war only kicked off during the 60s, leading to the odd equilibrium of Japanese war crimes not being erased from text books, but also seemingly not being emphasized in class in any way either.Internally, the greatest trauma to the population was that they got the equivalent of six or seven nukes dropped on themselves in total, which is why Godzilla became a household name.

Japan didn't get away with it, have you ever heard of Hiroshima and Nagasaki? And there are air raid memorials all across the country, the atomic bombs were the tip of the iceberg when it came to civilian suffering as a result of the warIt's not "they did nothing wrong" it's "they were punished enough and mind their own business these days"

>>18439310Let's also not forget that the Japanese lobby and their post-war economic growth did most of the heavy lifting in rehabilitating them.
>>18440987They didn't really even need to be "rehabilitated" in the West because nobody outside of their ex-colonies knew what they did. Stuff like Unit 731 or Nanjing Massacre only became public knowledge with the Internet. It was only Germany that needed to be rehabilitated.
>>18440991>It was only Germany that needed to be rehabilitated.WW2 was the Second US Civil War. Germs formed the majority of the US population at that point and the Nazis were raking the US over the coals regarding the continuous legality of slavery.
>>18439292Indoctrination. The Vets knew what they did, and plenty of them felt bad about it, but they also felt talking about it would taint the honour of his August Majesty the Emperor, so the first tell-all biographies of Japanese WW2 vets only were published after he was bagged and buried.
>>18441158>plenty of them felt bad about itis that really true? Do you have numbers? I don't think any vets of any country ever felt bad for what they did in significant numbers. German ww2 vets mostly stayed silent or denied the accusations too
>>18439292anime and hentai. not that a "culture" that does unit 731 deserves to exist, even if retards will say it's good because it was against gooks
>>18441276>he thinks "cultures" are these essentialist self-contained phenomena instead of being regulated by material circumstances in 2026Ngmi
