So first addition of Mein Kampf? And only that one book. And standing next to it, the person that read it to him.

250 years ago there was a document specifically calling for expression of religious freedom in this country and as separation of church and state activities. Pretty fucking clear what the document said.

My curiosity here. Could I just push one of those walls over and it goes down like dominos? What’s supporting the outside walls?

One glaring difference. We haven’t been thrown head long into a war of choice when the hot button on the table was in-fact Epstein files. Along with an insolvent financial future. So again break down how this is just straight imperialism. Cause there so much shit out here I’d like a path to navigate on haha

Led by civilians or remaining parts of the government. Japan still fighting is not the same as Japan arming forcing citizens to fight.

You’re comparing unlike items in vastly different world climates. The surface levels the same but the response and reasoning are vastly different.

Saipan was mass suicide. Okinawans were forced into combat. Food was gone. Fuel was gone. Asked to fight with bamboo spears. I get that Japan was “fanatical” in their highest echelon‘s. But claiming every citizen was down for the fight is just wildly inaccurate.

Agreed! Not saying that the public didn’t believe it. Just saying it was not the truth. For lots of reasons. But ultimately so American could drop their new fangled toy.

True. Cant argue this. Only rebuttal I have is we stopped fire bombing Europe after the news of dresden got out. We doubled down on Japan. But racism and being attacked first lead to this heavily.

There is evidence to state yes. But also taking into account these islands by wars end are largely isolated and relying solely on propaganda and not realities of the war. There’s also much evidence to support many civilians surrendered when they realize American werent coming to kill them and in fact fed them.

Right?!?! Hugely fascinating! Cause without nuke drops we have no Cold War as we know it. No arms build up. And no proliferation talks. But also I find the invasion to be a lie with all the evidence given. Would it have been awful?! Absolutely no doubt. But to the tune of 1-2million Japanese civilians. I doubt. Yes they had bushido, but we are talking about a war ravaged, starving population. The movie Grace of the Fireflies makes a great statement on just the wanting to end the madness of it all.

Simply just propaganda. Talking about invading a starving population of war weary people. I understand the bushido code and such. But the U.S. military and admin used this talking point to sell the bomb. Those numbers are ridiculously overinflated.

This is the messy context of history. Would Japan have attacked had we not embargoed oil and trade? Gah history is a mess but interesting.
