    weird how anyone who clutches pearls about this is entirely ignorant of imperial Japanese atrocities in China

      Sometimes they know about the atrocities but think that Chinese people retroactively deserved it for going communist in 1949. Pretty wild.

        Ya, there's a lot of straight up genocide denial and people telling Chinese to "just get over it" coming from the Abe defenders. They are trying to rehabilitate the Kwantung Army like they did for the Azov Batallion.

          Its the goddamn Japanese who are keeping the issue alive with their constant historical revisionism and denial

          Like dont they know that ultimately both koreans and chinese would move on if there was a definitive apology

            It's not so much the lack of an apology. The japanese have apologized multiple times. The problem is that they apologize but then do some dumb shit to contradict said apology like visiting Yasukuni shrine or engaging in attrocity denial.

            It's like an abuser apologizing to their victim, then days later they're bragging to their friends about how they "put that bitch in her place".

        downright scary when you consider that the vast majority of nazi victims lived in areas that also were communists after 1949, or even way before that. people who deny or downplay the r*pe of nanking for that reason would logically also downplay the holocaust and the atrocities of the wehrmacht. and it wouldn't surprise me at all if these people actually are aware of this and already do that.

    Thinking about the limited-edition coins that were being sold throughout the country to commemorate the killing of Osama bin Laden. Thinking about "We came, we saw, he died!" Thinking about John McCain joking about "Bomb Bomb Iran". Thinking about how easy it is to go on social media like reddit and find Americans gushing at the thought of "glassing" entire countries (guess we stopped wanting to "turn them into parking lots" as people would say about the Middle East in the Bush years). Thinking about the recent wave of violently hateful russophobia in particular, and how it is explicitly allowed on various platforms under exemptions those platforms openly granted.

    Shouldn’t a person with a V for Vendetta pfp be celebrating the assassination of powerful rightwing political figures? That’s all that V did

    People are outraged by this? I remember people whooping in the street when Bin Laden was murdered. I'm sure they would do the same if Putin was assassinated.

    The DJs are absolutely having a blast but the people on the floor look really bored lol. I think I enjoyed watching it more than they did in person.

      literally nobody dancing

      You hate to see it, but without more context you can't tell if it's the DJ's fault or if it's just a low-energy crowd.
