***On the other hand, we must not let the future generations, who have nothing to do with that war, be predestined to apologize. This is the responsibility of the current generation that is alive at this moment.***

this is why people think japan doesnt apologize for it and should pay

but like

hes right

Absolutely

the next generations had nothing to do with uit

they arent responsible

but people want to make it so

i saw a comment on a video for Baby Metal... 14 yr old japanese girls who do music, and they said "i just learned of the rape of nanking, i can no longer support baby metal knowing what their country has done"

like

a nation bares the actions of its fathers

i fucking banged my head on a wall

dude

they are 14

Worst the current generation has to deal with is having fathers that cant be confirmed/mentioned

they are not involved

they dont have authority to apoligize

nanking and the like was a good deed the japanese did

no one says baby metal raped nanking

i wish they did

thatd be quite the site

no, but people but the blame of nanking on ALL japanese

even the children

but japan as a nation is responsible

and should take pride

no, Japan as a nation is NOT responsible

yes it is

The people of Japan had very little say lol

irrelevant

the Country which committed those acts no longer exist

They were a textbook military dictatorship

yes the political entity of japan exists

Japan is not the same country as what existed in WW2

in its entirety

no

dude

when a countries government changes, its a new country, hence a name and flag change

ideological change =/= political obliteration

flag change =/= political entity changing

their political system was obliterated

irrelevant
