日本人が NO WAR!(戦争反対)と言う時、それは NO MORE WAR!(二度と戦争するな)の意味だ。
プラカードに掲げるべきものは、白い鳩のイラストではなく、中国での南京大屠殺、満州での731部隊による人体実験、朝鮮での従軍慰安婦、比での日本兵による銃剣での赤ちゃん刺殺の写真でなければいけない。
🇯🇵 Everyone knows Hitler, but hardly anyone remembers Hideki Tojo, Japan's PM during WW2.
During his time, Imperial Japan butchered its way across Asia, killing millions of civilians through mass executions, chemical warfare, forced starvation, human experiments, and industrial-scale sexual slavery.
In Nanking alone, people were bayoneted, burned alive, buried alive, and raped by the tens of thousands while Japanese officers reportedly held killing contests with swords like it was a game.
Unit 731 froze babies alive, dissected prisoners without anesthesia, tested plague bombs on civilians, and treated human beings like lab rats.
Then after the war?
Many of the people responsible walked free because the U.S. decided Japan would make a useful anti-Soviet ally.
Some were quietly rehabilitated into politics, business, academia, and medicine.
Meanwhile, Germany became the global symbol of evil, while Japan became “the poor victims of the atomic bombings” and eventually the land of anime, sushi, Nintendo, and Hello Kitty.
Imagine if senior Nazi officials got Disneyland tours and media rehabilitation campaigns within one generation.
That’s essentially what happened.

Breaking news: Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takasugi kneels at the Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall... oh, no, she's in Australia.
During WWII, Japan never actually landed in Australia. Aside from some prisoner of war atrocities, Japan committed relatively few war crimes against Australia—nothing compared to the horrors inflicted upon China, Korea, and Southeast Asia. Yet, a Japanese prime minister has never knelt in Korea, China, or Southeast Asia nations, instead, Japan has a lot of historical grievances with these countries till today. Absurd enough, right?
It is obviously because Australia is a white country and the Japanese have been completely tamed by white people. Japanese is a nation that has been conquered from men's cerebral cortex to women's womb. This self deprecating race of course has no future.
A haunting reminder of the cost of war. The irony is that today, Japan has traded its sovereignty to become a frontline meat shield for a distant empire. History doesn’t repeat, but it rhymes—and once again, this region is being turned into a combustion chamber for Great Power competition. The tragedy of 1937 is a warning that Japan seems determined to ignore.
