Very strange things are going on in Japan, worth keeping an eye on.

Huh....didn't know that that memorial was a thing or that we were invited; why on earth would you invite the criminals who conducted it?

And imagine the hubris of said war criminals not attending, because their other war criminal buddies were not invited.

From what I have gathered Japan has been very subservient to the US since WW2 end. They had become an American vassal state and America had significant control over them. Even stuff like anime and manga were censored when they contained explicit anti-war themes.

yeah, japans weird censorship is pretty directly because of 1950s american bullshit
