Why is Japanese nationalism rooted in communist anti-colonial anti-White rhetoric and ideology? The whole reason Japan modernized is because of western countries generously trading with it, gifting it technology instead of outright conquering them. Yet the Japanese waged a sacred war against the White man, and against western civilization?
>>18637700They are two stems of Japanese nationalists:The pro-American/pro-West nationalists who while justifying Imperial Japan, are fond of the West and believe in maintaining a strong relationship with the West. These are the most common nationalists who vote LDP with some support for Sanseito. And then there's the more traditionalist nationalists who despise the US, the West, and not only justify Imperial Japan but seek to restore it. These are more fringe and generally 20-30s in age and highly active online due to many being unironic NEETs (if you encounter Japanese nationalists online, it will most likely be this sort). They tend to have no faith at all in the LDP and actively despise it and have usually vote for more fringe parties if they vote at all but started supporting Sanseito since its rise, which is somewhat in between both types of nationalist in voter base.Long story short, it's because the latter see Imperial Japan's struggle as an opposition to the West and wish to continue that opposition today.
>>18637700>gifting it technology instead of outright conquering themMaybe actually study what happened in reality instead of making idiotic assumptions?
>>18637723This guy was the chief of staff of the Japanese air force and he expresses such anti west opinions on twitter.
>>18637729The west forced Japan to trade with them and deprived them of the ability to impose tariffs. Harsh but fair given how outmatched they are. Japan called these unequal treaties (fubyodo-joyaku) like the Chinese did but let's face it, what makes a treaty unequal? Would they prefer the Belgian Congo treatment, or the Spanish South America treatment?
>>18637732I know. This is nothing new from him as he has been expressing these sentiments for well over 20 years now and lost his job due to said sentiments.
>>18637700A lot of it is frankly cope>start a war of conquest>lose loved ones or homes or limbs>also lose the war>cling to the one good thing your country did in the process and pretend it wasn't all in vainImperial Japan only went anti-colonial because it was losing, though it was a cause a lot of intellectuals and soldiers believed in from the start
>>18637735Oh so you're trolling
>>18637751NTA but he's right. It was unfair only in the sense that it was forced more than anything. Japan got a significantly better deal than quite literally every other nation in all of Asia and Africa.
>>18637700Japan want to do to us what Germany did to the Jews. Notice that the recent threat from Japanese Fascists was aimed at Vladimir Putin over Sakhalin. They view all of Asia as their ethnostate where the other Asian groups are like poorer and slower children and theyre the “older brother” so to speak (this phrasing was common in WWII jap propaganda) and if the other Asian nations dont kowtow to Japan they will be led astray by white nations like Russia or the USA. Japanese Fascists are as dumb as their European counterparts. If they want war with Russian to reclaim Suril islands it will lead to them being nuked a third time.
>>18637751No arguments?
>>18637761The fact that every European colonizer from Britain to Russia was viewed by yellow Asians as preferable to the japs is telling.
>>18637765> Naisen Ittai (Japan and Korea as one body) This poster is typical of the period - Japan and Korea as two boys (the older and sturdier one obviously representing Japan) and as one body they take on the world. I’m not even a Russian but the recent Jap right wing twitter kerfuffle pretty much shows that they still view all of Asia this way as Japanese land that Europeans and the US are temporarily encroaching on.
>>18637765The Japanese WERE seen as preferable before they started invading. Even the KMT was pro-Japan at first with Sun Yat-sen and Chiang Kai-shek expressing favorable opinions regarding them. I think China is the best evidence against Japanese claims of simply being Pan-Asian and anti-communist. It would have been so incredibly easy for Japan to have formed a Pan-Asian anti-communist alliance with KMT China, had they set aside their imperial ambitions to do so.
>>18637772KMT was also a Soviet puppet for some time until the Shanghai massacre as well as allying with Nazi Germany. They were opportunists from day one.
After checking Twitter, I didn't think East Ssians could be that anti-white. The way many of them talk is no different from what the average resentful third-world brown person says.
>>18637781So Japan invaded China shortly after they broke ties with the USSR and cracked down on communists. Just goes to show you can never trust the Japs.
>>18637783Fun fact. Japan was the first major power to boost anti white black and brown liberation propaganda globally, before the USSR got into it.
>>18637785>shortlyWell Shanghai massacre was 1927 and Japanese invasion was like 1930s? I don’t know how short it was. The entire Japanese invasion was an attempt at a quick land grab though. I agree with that.
>>18637783This guy look like WW2-era American anti-Japanese propaganda.
>>18637786The more right-wing an East Asian person leans, the more anti-white they are.
>>18637786I've seen Asians chimp out thousands of times with the same thing about how discriminatory white people were and how whites saw them as yellow monkeys.
>>18637700>rooted>implying theres a link to the pastthis guy is obviously a run of the mill nuNationalist in the same mold as any other ethnonationalist around the world.you're implying a link to 40s japanese nationalism that isn't there.almost none of those guys surrendered when you look at the pow stats, which is without historical precedent in terms of scale and efficacy of indoctrination, they're dead and gone.a 40s imperial cult nipponese nationalist wouldn't be doing any talking
>>18637790They also totally chimp out if you dare suggest that characters from a European setting, or with blue eyes, a slim nose and a long skull, are white, and that it's totally their standard of beauty that comes from antiquity.
>>18637700>Japanese nationalism rooted in communist (...) ideology It wasn't
>>18637790>the more retarded a retard becomes the more retarded shit he will sayYou dont say.
>>18637786Dolphins and whales arent lifestock, wtf is this chink on about. Theyre full of poisoneous metals either.
>>18637800Japs are clearly anti white based on what this guy and other xitter jap nationalists say
Because communism and decolonialism are correct and they at last realized they need to get out of the CIA puppet regime before the deep state weaponizes them like it has Ukraine
>>18637723Only two, pro-West and anti-West? Aren't there Japanese philo-Hitlerians who like Germany and Italy but hate USA?
>>18638294those are commies lol. that rhetoric could totally come out of a Xinhua press release.
>>18637700fascism is the way tho
>18637700>18637783>18637786>18637790>18637798>18638294Not a single one of these accounts has a Japanese person behind them.You have to be stupid to believe a 78 year-old geezer likely suffering from dementia and Alzheimer's is wasting the last few years of his life posting historically illiterate cringe on X.
>>18638343Yes, imperial Japan apologists are communists. I'm glad you agree.
>>18637828lol
>>18638673Sorry but that's an actual former Japan air force chief of staff.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toshio_Tamogami
>>18638673>>18638694Verified account btwhttps://x.com/toshio_tamogami?lang=en
>>18638328Yes. There are also Japanese Russophiles who love Russia and somehow are serving in the government, like Muneo Suzuki. The recent Putin visit to the Kurils should wake up Tokyo and remind them their Russia appeasement strategy isn't working and Putin is laughing at them.This guy needs to be kicked outhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muneo_Suzuki
>>18638694>>18638696Japanese fascists want to kill all Chinese and all white people and they want global domination. That yellow bitch boy deserves a life behind bars.
>>18638700Are you retarded? “Russian appeasement”. Kurils are Russian administered territory and are inhabited by only Russian people. Kurils are roughly as Japanese as Manchuko or Okinawa are. If anything, Japan is too aggressive and Neofascist for threatening Putin over visiting an island in his own country.
>>18638764The Kurils are as Japanese as Hokkaido.
>>18639266Who lives in the Kurils? The samurai want to genocide thousands of White Russian people who call those islands Rodyna??? They’re maybe as Japanese as Okinawa definitely. An island they only keep because US found it useful. I hate Fascists especially Jap fascists. I will wipe you from existence!
>>18639275The Japanese before the Soviets expelled them. The Japanese could do the same to the Russian population.
