    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?

        When the Japanese arrived

        ...and raped, enslaved, and murdered everyone. Seriously, you're going to defend Japan during WW2 as heroes of the people of Asia?

        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?

          Other best-of takes I remember from this same user include:

          • China is only prevented from Balkanizing by the iron hand of the CPC.
          • In China, government just happens to you. None of the citizens consider it democratic.

        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.
