            Glad to hear it. Someone who did the self-crit and renounced their bad believes is good. Reminds me of Che, who is sometimes dinged for positions that he publicly apologized for.

        Japan printed some pretty awful & cartoonishly egregious nonsense of its own during this time too though

            yes, almost like racial supremacism & ultranationalism need to be condemned and mocked at every turn... perhaps even if it means offending the sensibilities of those offending ultranationalistic tendencies in the heat of such atrocious real-world circumstances
