Oh don’t get me wrong. The strong adherence to pacifism is laudable. But they have not reckoned with their atrocities committed during and prior world war II. They practically deny them ever happening.

Your whataboutism is not appreciated.

Japan has never really reckoned with its past. They were just pacified.

I judge the country as a whole for this, since they keep electing politicians who continue to do very little to reckon with their past.

I feel a lot could be gained by apologising to the people and nations for the past, and nothing lost, other than nationalistic pride, bring forced into self reflection, and being genuinely sorry on behalf of the country.

People who think they shouldn’t apologise because it wasn’t them personally are stupid, frankly, and standing in the way of reducing tensions.

Will it fix everything in the region? No. Will it take some of the steam out of the war machine? Probably.

Ugh. They’re probably worse than a lot of them.

Abducting extremely young children into their cult. Teaching them to suppress their emotions, telling them to cut all families ties.

Someone ought to order their temples shut down to bring peace and stability to the galaxy world.
