[ I like the Japanese, but their attempts to rewrite, if not ignore, their history is in high contrast with how the Germans handle things. ]
We are seeing the results of both diametric policies in real time.
Germans are inviting in invaders who rape their women as their politicians call for importing of more savages.
Japanese are distorting their own past but they are not beating their own people over their head with it, and they are not importing in millions of low IQ violent savages to replace their own High IQ peaceful citizens like Germany is.
Granted the Japanese could be a little more frank about their past, but that would give the communists agitators in japan more power to mess up their social cohesion.
Both options are bad, but I’ll take Japanese model over the German Model any day.
Let’s not confuse the issue here. By ‘how the Germans handled it,’ I refer to their de-Nazification and forthright acknowledgement of their actions in WWII. The Japanese don’t even acknowledge the rape of Nanking, IIRC.
