Japan committed many atrocities, it was an empire that literally aligned with the fascists lol.
Sure, there might've been positive effects on anti-colonial struggles, but it doesn't justify all the shit they did. In this context did you think they were really that better than the cracker colonizers?
It is strange how countries in places like Africa managed to rise up and fight for independence without first being conquered by non-white fascists to inspire them.

You realize that colonial crackers were far from the only people the Japanese treated poorly right?
What do you think happened to the local populace in Korea and China and Southeast Asia?
