UKRAINE DIDN'T LINK HIROHITO TO HITLER FUCKING HIROHITO LINKED HIROHITO TO HITLER OH MY FUCKING GOD FUCK!
Lol confusion bouncing around as different countries try to decide if they never did fascist shit or if they did and it was good, actually
Shit, it's the US, they'd probably have been more likely to execute him if he wasn't a fascist.
The one cool thing Ukraine has done this whole conflict and they walk it back
Cowards
if you're the Emperor of a fascist country as it wages its most violent war in its history, that doesn't necessarily make YOU fascist :very-smart:
from my understanding, Japanese popular sentiment leans towards denying war crimes. I know the government absolutely does it all the time. Like in 2014, Shinzo Abe asked for a UN report to get revised because it claimed Japanese troops took sex slaves (they did).
And I think it's just going to get worse as WW2 fades further into history. We'll start seeing people deny Japan was in the war at all I bet
Hirohito is kind of a Rommel figure when it comes to WW2. He had some minor disagreements at times, meaning that he was anti-war. That way you can just blame it on the "charisma" of Tojo or whatever.
Andre Vltchek has some good articles on Japan, particularly the UNESCO site they set up that covered up all the bad stuff despite the UN repeatedly asking them to stop doing that.

Ta, I'll give this a try next time. I tried out 12ft.io on it at the time but it didn't work.
Happy to help, I haven't used it a whole lot, but it usually works for me with the websites it says it supports. I hadn't heard of that one, so now I have a new one to try too!
