Naturally, their goal includes scrapping Peace Constitution and rearming Japan. Past Japanese politician after the war never gave up on the eventual pursuit of nuclear weapon's program. They quietly laid out all infrastructure to produce nuclear weapon in massive quantities when the time comes. Unfortunately, they tend to be closet symapthizers of past military regime, too. In my opinion, they had the chance to break this connection to the past in 1990's but did not materialize.
This group used to have little public support and was regarded as nuisance lunatic fringe, driving around in their loud-speaker trucks blaring out their speeches and military music.
Now the political climate has changed and public is more receptive to their view. Abe took power and set out to scrap Peace Constitution. After decades of irrelevance, they are coming alive again.
“””They believe Japan did nothing wrong during their militarist regime before 1945. They justify all actions at the time, including Pearl Harbor Attack, Nanjing Massacre, brutal treatment of allied POW’s to name a few.”””
Kinda makes them my enemy then .......
They believe Japan did nothing wrong during their militarist regime before 1945.
Oh, my!
I seem to recall there was some kind of seizing of a government building, a couple decades ago, which ended when the leader of the group that had staged the takeover ordered one of his thralls to behead him. Literally chopped his head off, to end the standoff.
Same people or something different?
I'm pretty sure most Japs believe that they never did anything wrong, not just the militarists.
Japs are quite skilled at pretending nothing is or was wrong. For example: Issei Sagawa.
