And what did it take to bring the Japanese to their senses? It certainly wasn’t social media and the internet.
Social media didn’t exist back then. All they knew of us were the leaflets we dropped from planes.
Yes, we fought them and dropped bombs to expose them to our culture. My point is that it was the culture that REALLY changed them. Not fear of bombs. We no longer need to do that with media passing information through every boundary. Even without a network, entire libraries can fit in a tiny cheap SD card. Amazing!
IMO, the huge recent surge in Islamic violence has much to do with the “old timers” terrified of their children going online and seeing how western people live. Especially the girls!
Women seeing what it is like to not be treated like cattle will be one of the main tipping points. Fundamentalist Islam cannot survive extreme patriarchal polygamy
*survive WITHOUT extreme patriarchal polygamy
