Emperor Hirohito was a living god to the Japanese, and MacArthur found that ruling via the Emperor made his job in running Japan much easier than it otherwise would have been. Therefore, this picture was taken to show the Japanese that MacArthur had more power than Akihito.
>>534360030>MacArthur had more power And who's really behind MacArthur?
>>534360030>MacArthur had more power...to wear his pants pulled up over his bellybutton like some sort of clown.
>>534360475Boomers force you to do this, must be a greatest gen thing.
>>534360030>a living god to the JapaneseHe was literally forced to admit he was not a descendent of any gods
>>534362136>adminThey just made him say that. Doesn't mean it was true
>>534362058>Boomers force you to do this, must be a greatest gen thing.MacArthur is older than Greatest Gen. He was probably of the "Lost Generation" who had fought in WW1. But the Boomers (who were just starting to be born at around the time this photo was taken) probably looked up to him and his corncob pipe and sunglasses like some sort of hero and role model, so maybe that's why they emulate him. Again he wasn't Greatest Gen. But he was the top dog whom the Greatest Gen received their marching orders from.
>>534362237>They just made him say that. Doesn't mean it was trueIf you're forced to admit you're not a god, then it becomes self evident that you are not a god. A legit god wouldn't have lost the war in the first place.
>>534362058It was a greatest gen thing. The idea was that you'ld have alot more mobility in the legs and if you got fat, you could just loosen the belt. Pants were also sized to be originally for suspenders, and most people didn't buy pants regularly, if they were in the army they might be issued pants but then you can't get it tailored or anything, so fitting the pelvis correctly like most pants do now was new and not common.
>>534360030My grandpa hung out with MacArthur in Korea and he said he was an asshole and I believe him.
>>534362723Your grandpa was a towel boy
>>534363010Gramps was a chink slayer and loved by the brass for his epic stacking, cope Dong.
>>534363010your grandpa was a jam boy kek
>>534360030>MacArthurWhy did he have such wide hips and high waistline? Was he trans?
>>534362723Your grandpa waged the comfort women’s pussies between cawks.
>>534360030I hate how chadArthur is not even standing straight in that pic
>>534360030In Japan, there are 8 million gods, so the meaning of God is different from that of monotheistic religions like Christianity or Islam.
天皇/Tenno, 陛下/HeikaHeika signifies the lower end of the staircase connecting the divine and human worlds. In other words, the Emperor is a human being in the human world, the closest to the divine, but not a god himself.
>>534366701He looks like he's America's bitch in this picture
>>534360475That’s just how we rolled back then, m8.Kinda like the JFK way we talked “American” and shieeet.I kinda wish we brought the cool speech back.
dude, move on
>>534367543Jesus looked like Roman Empire's bitch at the time of crucifixion.
>>534362515You're a low IQ midwit. Go actually read what japs were writing. Nobody took his broadcast seriously, and listening to it in Japanese, he uses language that suggests hes still a god. Literally everyone who has any interest in this topic knows this btw. Thanks for your ignorance, dumbass
>>534363268He looks nigger?
>>534360475At least he was rockin the bell bottomsBack in the 60s high waters was the thing
