The post-war mindset is finally shifting. For decades, pacifist education linked arms exports to militarism, but that perspective is fading. Japan is now ready to move beyond its old constraints and step into the global defense market as a serious player.

Japan is too old to wage war anymore. The avg age is like 51....51 year old men can't wage war.

I'm going to laugh so hard when it finally dawns on the US military/ industrial complex that Trump threw them under the bus. And if you doubt these buffoons aren't short sighted enough to miss the coming imminent collapse, I'll kindly direct you to the 2008 housing/ stock market crash of 2008 that only a handful of investors saw coming.

Also I know it’s become a bad buzzword, but remember the only reason the ole USA is here and democracies are a thing and not kingdoms and empires under kings is because of liberalism. Don’t let them convince you being free is “woke”.

So why does it seem yall love canceling others whenever yall hear an opinion that’s not within your ideology? That’s not very TOLERANT, as you put it

orfed Apr 15, 2026 +11
Well give me an example of these people that are getting canceled? Again buzz words are great for propaganda but when you look at specific cases tend to break down.

Literally just look at anything, movies, personal opinion, video games…..that doesn’t fit in the liberal ideology These blue hairs comes out of the woodwork to cancel them reallll fast

Japan will likely start a war of aggression within a few years and be defeated by China! China is the next world leader! China Number One! Xi Jinping Number One! Let’s make the Chinese Empire the global standard!

Japan has never apologized for its war crimes; in fact, it takes pride in them. Today, Japan is trying to kill Chinese people, and the Chinese government has even gone so far as to ban travel to Japan. Japanese politicians worship war criminals as gods. China, on the other hand, has been a very conciliatory and wonderful country for the past 3,000 years. China is truly a wonderful country, a wonderful country. That is precisely why being a wonderful country is wonderful, and it is a wonderful thing.

The first part are facts though. The rest is cringe. I think it is purposely made as cringe/bad as possible to achieve the opposite reactions (and they did it judging by the amount of downvotes). Japan never experienced what post nazi Germany did and their war criminals were shielded by US even more than the German ones. Without acknowledging history and the facts you can't work on the future without the risk of repeating the past.

Japan isn't a singular entity. Saying Japan takes pride in war crimes is like saying America wants a white ethno-state. There are people in Japan that take pride in war crimes, but it is obviously not the majority opinion. Every country has their horrible right wingers An actual fact would be: The Japanese government has failed to remove monuments of war criminals such as in the Yasukuni shrine, which has led to a more prevalent culture of war crime worship

It is the majority of the population still shielding / rewriting history / part taking of denial and propaganda to whitewash it and refusing to acknowledge their past though. They are not necessarily pro war crimes directly, but they do actively refuse to even think it was possible they were guilty of it in the past. They think they will lose face or whatever if they acknowledge that the generation which has long died out made some worst possible things imaginable, which even for the most hard core nazi ss war criminals was too much. Only people who had some higher education outside of Japan learn the history by facts and not the Japanese version of it btw. You either learned it outside and/or both versions and/or started to learn/compare them by yourself or you are forever stuck in the bubble.

100000% of Japanese schools glorify World War II, teaching that Japan was a righteous nation, and almost all Japanese citizens are taught that Japan was a great country at the time, and that the massacres were also great acts. Currently, the Japanese government is building up its military to start another war, and according to leaked documents, the Japanese government is currently massacring the 99 percent of independence movement in Okinawa, sending them to re-education camps, and continuing to slaughter them!
