The Japanese government simply digs its own grave deeper, and deeper and I do not sympathize with them when attacked for their sheer stubborn closed-mindedness.

But I do sympathize with the general public when brought into the same light as the fools running this country. Japanese people are told what they can and cannot believe, by either the education system itself, or by simple, very strong peer-pressure.

The right-wing fools… I would seriously LOVE to join forces with other Japanese people and foreigners like myself here, and petrol-bomb the lot of those highly ignorant and racist animals.

China being abnormally communist is expected to mess up its own people. Japan is supposed to be democratic which makes it all the worse.

Yet, comparing Japan’s whitewashing of their history to that of the Germans’ only shows just how much self denial the Japanese right wingnuts are living in. Instead of driving their large VANs with loud speakers blasting nationalistic propaganda all day long, the angry Japanese wingnuts should compare themselves to the Germans, their best ally in WWII. The last time I checked, the German government not only spent tax-payers’ money to support a single film paying homage to the Holocaust, but spent a lot more building museums detailing the atrocities which the Fuhrer had committed. The European nations went as far as making it into a crime to deny Holocaust. Now that is simply ironic coming from the oh-so-free Europeans.

Granted, the Chinese and Korean governments are only bringing up the WWII issue as a leverage for their foreign economic policies. For all of this supposedly hostility between China and Japan, Japanese passport is one of the few out there which can actually enter China without a VISA..
