It's all hazy for me now

Too many shows over many years

like i said, its doubtful that those who are complaining actually watch anime regularly

I'm going to watch fawlty towers

Good old British comedy

this is the same thing weve seen with tabletop games, card games, video games, and metal heads

people from outside the community come in and say that everything is bad and should change how they say

In the 90s Christians complained about satan in heavy metal

Now the leftists cry about fascism in anime

But eh.... there's a reason why anime potrays a lot of characters in nazi uniforms and why the uniform is rather tolerated in asian countries. And the reason is simple, asian countries wasn't attacked by nazis. They were busy being invaded by the japs.

Japan was in the axis too

They don't care

And japs still thinks of the german uniforms as cool as heck

Can I be honest

They were pretty cool looking

its ok though, japan is totally over ww2

Thats why they keep making psuedo ww2 shows

The curriculum of most asian history classes on ww2 is mostly about japanese invasions and occupations

Especially the black ones

War on europe is kept mostly vague

When your uniforms are Hugo Boss...

I remember from my textbook, rise and fall of ww2 germany is compiled into 1 paragraph.

@Der Kommissar Where is this?

lol

@xorgy Indonesian school textbooks

Ahh, yeah.

indonesia?

The 4th most populated country in the world?

Well, Germany kinda made fascism look reel bad; which would contribute to explaining why Indonesian schools don't make a big deal about it.

Indonesia currently has a semi-fascist government, it seems.

More like our textbook is focused on japanese invasions and imperialism

Not really, it is far from fascism

Sure, that bit is missing here in NA as far as I can tell.

oh phew... it was all a myth guys ..

But it's mostly because Indonesia wasn't invaded and occupied by the germans

Apartheid's final reckoning: Zimbawae 2 - South African Bogaloo

In fact, if you only get American sources, you might have a sympathetic view of imperial Japan. A lot of people here feel guilty about the A-bombs, and the concentration camps.

ikr

Wtf https://twitter.com/robbystarbuck/status/1050075473349230594?s=19

have to discuss the necessity and legality of the bombs every month in a political discord that im in

@wacka ＭＹＴＨＩＣＡＬ

So it was deemed rather non-impactful for the textbook's purpose to potray the inhumanity of japanese occupation during ww2.

people keep saying it was unethical unnecessary and genocidal

funny... if its a myth and never going to happen... then why are they so worried for people just prepping? 😛

obviously because the racist whites might use this as an excuse to re-instate apartheid

@Abel As soon as he goes against (D), it is suddenly okay to call him a "negro".

Now, if there's a clear horror potrayed in my schools' history books, it would be the dutch's VOC aka dutch east india company.

I mean, I'm surprised they aren't just calling Kanye a hard-R "nigger", if they're willing to go that far.

I mean why everyone have to be mad about colonization?

If this happened on fox, people would be talking about it for months

its like bro just get guns lmao

But since it's CNN, its all right

Of course.

thats because nobody listens to CNN anymore when it comes to this

Funnily enough, CNN's branch in Indonesia is one of the few most neutral news outlet for us.

lol

They have competent journalists and casts here

Thats totally possible, they probably work more or less independent

brb moving to Indonesia for the fair press coverage

Tbh, press coverage here is somewhat fair (when you're talking about national news networks)

#votePrabowoSubianto

Although the infrastructure in Indonesia is far from good

Not a fan of prabowo tbh.

you don't need much infrastructure for good journalism in current year anyway

New order didn't fancy my taste

better than Joko 👍

Not really, both candidates have their own demerits

A New New Order honestly looks better than a Liberal Democracy given the state of West rn

that's true

Prabowo is not the Hero we need, but the one we Deserve 😂

New new order backed by religious extremists and oligarchs? Thanks, but no thanks

like Russia!!!

Russia is awesome

uhhh

Indonesia will be the Russia of the South

yeap that broke my sarcasm counter

In a couple of years he will annex Malaysia and Brunei

It will be Great

Very unlikely for us to break peace with ASEAN nations, stormtrooper

A man can dream

mostly because i dont think indonesia has the force projection

If you even remotely understand international relations

I just want to see the dream of Indonesia Raya be fulfilled

Lol

lol

Not with that guy

Singapore will get into the mix

Singapore will be the Capital

gotta watch out for those micro nations

they're the small dogos of the international community

Soon, maldives will rule Asia

Lol jk

in that they bark a lot

honestly Putrajaya is a beautiful capital city

Interesting data on global emissions

I've been to Singapore. Lovely place but so expensive.

Nah, solomon island will somehow annex everyone

national review has an interesting bit about sweden

Singapore is expensive because tourists go to all the touristy areas

By lovely, you mean, a surveillance state ruled by an authoritaroan autocrat?
