my god they mutated, but also they modernized, honestley check the history of any country, usa for example: racists who stole a continent > overconfident military bozos who want to steal continents
This reminds me of the graph showing nuclear fallout from Chernobyl in the air and the presence of Hentai.
Same happened to culture in western countries, it just looks different and feels natural to us.
When was the west ever Nuked
we nuked ourselves over and over
Japan was not changed by the nukes.
No, it’s even better that they evolved into another species, although they went a bit overboard. But Japanese girls might taste good though I’m not sure.
For what it’s worth, SeeU is South Korean, not Japanese.
These kinda memes tend to rely on passive prejudice and ignorance to hit.
Not really worth much, still representative 😅
Just a few days ago, it hit me on some new level that we fucking NUCLEAR BOMBED a country. TWICE.
We are literally the only country that has done that. And it’s just sort-of this fun footnote of history. “Fine, maybe that was a whoopsie, but blah blah blah something about land invasion blah blah blah. Our baaaaad!”
I mean tbf, while I do hate how civillians die from it, it was mostly the imperial japanese government’s fault.
The japanese soldiers were committing massacress on my homeland (China) and if the US hadn’t nuked japan, a lot more people would’ve died by the hands of those imperialist pigs (the soldiers i mean, I have nothing against japanese civillians). It would’ve takes months and perhaps years to actually invade japan, all that while japan commits mass rapes, pillaging, looting on my homeland. I mean national pride and “honor” is a strong thing in many East Asian countries, even in current timeline, we still had a lot of Japanese Holdout, without the nukes, Japan would’ve not surrended for many years and all those years of suffering for all those people in occupied areas by the imperial japanese military around Asia. And even with the first nuke, they didn’t fucking surrender until the US had to do it again.
RIP to the innocent civillians at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but its their government’s fault for waging this war of destruction.
We are literally the only country
Yeah that’s why I hate the nationalist “we” that you’re using here. I didn’t have shit to do with nuking japan. Zero respect for those terrorists.
In the last days of WW2, the Japanese military were getting children to make sharpened bamboo spears and training those children to attack American soldiers on sight. The elderly and women were told that they should kill themselves before potentially coming under American control.
The Japanese civilian population had been indoctrinated into the belief that western soldiers were absolute monsters who would carry out unspeakable acts on them should they become prisoners (ironic considering the IJA/Ns actions during the conflict).
In the battle of Saipan, hundreds of mothers leapt from cliffs with their babies in their arms to evade capture, men would slit their children’s throats and booby trapped the bodies to injure Americans and then themselves fought relentlessly, before mostly killing themselves or being killed to prevent capture.
The level of blood shed at Hiroshima and Nagasaki was unprecedented but it did in fact save untold Japanese civilian and American soldiers’ lives.
Crucially, even after the bomb was dropped on Hiroshima Japanese High Command still refused to surrender.
*edit: all you 4edgy5me America Bad commenters really need to do some reading about Japanese atrocities during the Pacific War here are some suggestions:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanjing_Massacre
The Japanese civilian population had been indoctrinated into the belief that western soldiers were absolute monsters who would carry out unspeakable acts on them
We nuked them twice after carrying out a campaign of what we cozily referred to as “moral bombing”, where we targeted civilian populations to kill the families of soldiers.
We ARE absolute monsters.
The only fair way to solve this is going to be for someone to nuke us for nuking Japan, then someone needs to nuke whomever nukes us, etc…until everyone gets nuked. Then we can get along.
I mean Japan and the US have a pretty solid relationship now, it’s just internet weirdos who can’t get along, which is probably why a lot of us are on the internet in the first place.
I mean Japan and the US have a pretty solid relationship now
Fash support fash.
If I gave the impression that I was at all interested in entertaining some western imperialists blog opinion on there being alternatives to targeting civilian populations in war then please forgive me, because that was never my intention and I won’t consider such barbaric drivel under any circumstances.
Bombing Japan = good?
When the US nuked Japan, almost everyone in my homeland (China) knows what’s coming next. It maked the end of a terrible age of war, and era of subjugation by inperialists. The japaneese invaders are soon gonna be gone. It was a huge relief.
Then when the news of japan’s surrender hits the news, there was celebrations throughout China. And I’m sure those in Korea and various Southeast Asian countries would also be celebrating that.
It would’ve taken months and possibly years for the US to do a non-nuclear attack of japan, and that would’ve allowed them to continue doing massacres across Asia. Civillians shouldn’t have to die for the crime of their government, but there were not many options, and this was the lesser evil.
As someone from the country that’s been conquered by japan: absolutely yes.
It’s literally the trolley problem writ large. Do you kill a few hundred thousand civilians to prevent the deaths of probably several million.
I used to think along the lines of this too until I visited the Hiroshima Peace Memorial where they tell you about all the ways the US min-maxed the bomb to kill as many people as possible and did it truly as an experiment.
But thats dishonest. It assumes that:
-
The nuking of Japan was the reason they surrendered
-
The nukes were gauranteed to make then surrender.
Like would it still have been justified if Japan hadnt surrendered? Then youve committed an atrocity for no reason.
Or what about if it was a different atrocity? Would tourturing a few hundred thousand Japanese to death be justified for the same reason?
Especially since it probably wasn’t the reason they surrendered. There are multiple papers on the subject. They didn’t really grasp the difference between the atomic bombs and regular bombing, and the US were carpet bombing multiple other cities at the time. They probably surrendered because of the Soviet advance after failed talks with them, which definitely reduced their chances to zero.

Well, idk much about history and politics and war, so I’m just gonna trust 'Muricans claiming they need to bomb other countries to bring peace to the world
What part of @[email protected]’s statement do you disagree with?

The Allies had just fought the Battle of Okinawa, the bloodiest battle of the Pacific Theater.
Have you ever even read any of the history of the proposed plan for the invasion of mainland Japan and the casualty estimates? How about the reasoning for opposing the Imperial Japanese Government?
Or Is this your opportunity to virtue signal to people on the internet by implying Americans are murderous pigs and the jApAnEsE dId NoThInG wRoNg?
As I said, I don’t know much about history, politics, and war.
Clearly not.
Americans are murderous pigs and the jApAnEsE dId NoThInG wRoNg?
how about: they are both murderous pigs?
Imperial Japan was far more murderous, in the context of the 2nd World War, which is what this thread is about.
Just like Ukraine bOmBiNg CiViLiAn TaRgEtS in Russia amirite
Both sides bad I is very smart
(Of course America was bad, but not for bombing Imperial Japan)
Americans ***ARE ***murderous pigs, and we haven’t changed in the decades since.
What a lazy and shitty comment.
You’re right. I do sometimes put more effort into my comments, but this one was not one of those. I simply chose to inform of my lack of knowledge in the probably important fields needed to understand this event, and then said I’d trust 'Muricans speaking, pointing out the claim that the bombing was needed for peace
Im context, against the Imperial Japanese Government, unfortunately, yes.
Yes, when you grow up deep inside the imperial bubble.
more like least path of resistance to peace.
Bombing Japan == horrific but better than the alternatives we had.
Though even then there were variables.
https://blog.nuclearsecrecy.com/2015/08/03/were-there-alternatives-to-the-atomic-bombings/
The alternative of having to let the soviets get a say in what happens to Japan?
It’s alot easier for them to post a link to a blog than to just say the quiet part out loud.
Sorry, but repeatedly posting a link to some blog doesn’t justify murdering hundreds of thousands, probably millions, of people.
Crucially, even after the bomb was dropped on Hiroshima Japanese High Command still refused to surrender.
Hiroshima and Nagasaki were very much the first stages of the Cold War pivot as the USSR declared war on Japan and took Manchuria and Korea from Japanese occupation.
Imperial Japan had hoped the USSR would arbitrate peace with the Allies as they had not fought or invaded, but the Soviets chose to declare war, sealing their fate.
There are absolutely zero circumistances under which it is acceptable to bomb, let alone nuke, civilians.
So the US should’ve just allowed imperial japan to continue massacring my compatriots in China? Fuck that. Its sad that civillians had to get caught up in the death tolls, but I’m on the side of the US and the allies when it comes to WW2.
👍🏻
Those Palestinian children were going to be used to populate the schools and hospitals so they can’t be bombed. Better starve them.
Yeah and as we do, we fucked up their transition to a democratic state but in the process created a very unique nation
“western soldiers were absolute monsters who would carry out unspeakable acts on them” They were right
To be fair, the people they were stabbing and running from were about to fucking NUKE THEM. TWICE. So.
So prior to the nukes Japan had just lost their entire navy, their air force, and practically all their conquests in Asia where they killed well over 20 million civilians and lost 2 million soldiers in the process.
After Hiroshima the US gave them three days to surrender.
They didn’t. One of most inevitable defeats in modern history and not only did they not surrender after the first, they tried to call America’s bluff, and there was a coup attempt to prevent surrender after the second.
If you’d like some reading on the Japanese militarist cult and propaganda campaigns that enabled a people to be so delusional there’s quite a lot of scholarly work available.
In any event the cause of their delusional dreams was the same cause that led them to having baby-bayonetting contests in China: ethnic supremacist rhetoric functionally identitical to Nazism that told them Americans and Soviets would be doing to them what they’d just done to China, Korea, the Phillipines, and many other nations.
Japan appealed to the USSR to arbitrate surrender. The USSR responded by holding to the Yalta conference agreements and declaring war on Japan and occupying Manchuria and Korea.
USSR broke the neutrality pact they had with Japan to do so, and the US dropped the second nuke after that pact was broken.
The bombing, declaration, and surrender was a period from August 6-August 15. Eleven days.
So prior to the nukes Japan had just lost their entire navy, their air force, and practically all their conquests in Asia
Yep. No point in a genocidal terrorist attack on civilians in japan.
a people to be so delusional… ethnic supremacist rhetoric functionally identitical to Nazism
Lol. Have you seen USA today? It’s the birthplace of racism. They’re still justifying this nuclear terror attack on japan while genociding people in palestine and all over the world. Never changes.
“nuclear terror attack” lmfao
You can shit on the US for so many evil things, but atomic bombing of japan is not one of them, that was probably one “least evil” things they’ve done.
It’s called bigger gun diplomacy
France nuclear bombed Algeria lots of times and nobody makes such a big deal of it.
Maybe because instead of dropping them on cities they dropped them in the Sahara desert?
Meh. Details!
TIL.
Deserved
I wouldn’t say “deserved”, civillians don’t “deserve” dying in a destructive war waged by their government. It was just a lesser evil.
Still a war crime against civilians.
Most bombing is. Firebombing of Dresden for example. The V2 bombs falling randomly on Londoners. I’m not in any way trying to handwave away your premise at all, just offer that war is hell and civilian targets are always targets to reduce the opponent’s will to fight. In historic times we’d burn the town and light the fields on fire, starving the population. WW2 firebombed cities. Even today nuclear weapons would be launched at strategic military targets, critical infrastructure, and city centers. War crime? I guess. Seems like plain old war, even if the US used the weapon that dialed it up to 11 first. (IMO nukes shouldn’t exist on any arsenal, but it’s not up to me)
“War isn’t Hell. War is war, and Hell is Hell. And of the two, war is a lot worse.”
“There are no innocent bystanders in Hell. War is chock full of them - little kids, cripples, old ladies. In fact, except for some of the brass, almost everybody involved is an innocent bystander.”
Truth.
Most bombing is [a war crime].
Ofc the state is run by criminal terrorists. It’s nothing to excuse or celebrate.
It’s nothing to excuse or celebrate.
It can be a statement of fact without being either of those.
Just as an aside, due to the use of slave labour from nearby concentration camps and the horrendous conditions at the Mittelwerk factory that an estimated 12,000 people died making V1s and V2s, more than the estimated 9,000 people that died as targets.
That’s a grim aside.
Very unfun fact.
US dropped notices for days ahead of the bombing. warning of the imminent danger and horrific results of a nuclear bomb.
many didn’t believe in the warnings as they had been disillusioned by their government.
the rest is history.
edit: looks like I touched a nerve but you can’t argue facts.
https://ahf.nuclearmuseum.org/ahf/key-documents/warning-leaflets/
Japanese mythology was pretty gnarly even before the nukes.
The mythology of every state is inherently violence and anti-human.
Someone tell trump nuclear weapons are DEI and removing them will get him his Nobel peace prize!
Someone tell him they’re underaged girls and he’ll go…fuck them? I don’t know, I didn’t think the analogy through, but he’s a pedophile.
Must have hit the pixel limit for the month.
Yeah, sure. Let’s forget about Unit 731, genocide policy in China, union with nazi Germany, annual Yasukuni shrine rutuals, Shintoism, sick nationalism, etc.

Sir, this is c/memes
Is this better?
Sure, and I love the great memes that get posted here. But this one distorts history beyond all measure. Japanese militarism in government circles hasn’t gone anywhere, and neither has the desire for revenge. However, the American dropping of atomic bombs on civilians is not a joke either, but an unconcealed genocide. A demonstration of force, first of all, to intimidate opponents from the socialist camp.
It’s a complex situation in Asia. It’s not only Japan that is wary of China. The rest of the region that share a border with China, and there are many of them including my country, are constantly having border disputes with China. As with any country, Japan has its share of loud conservatives that like similar conservative things, and if there’s anything conservatives are good at (and the left is ridiculously bad at), it’s getting into government positions.
why are you talking about china? this is about the war crimes committed throughout asia by japan, and how is conveniently absent from a likely American made meme
The links were China related, and also, except for a few racists, there hasn’t been a rift between Japan and the West for a while now.
Did the “they did a bad thing too!” excuse work with your mother? Because I’m wondering why you think it excuses the bad things America did?
…?
they aren’t even talking about America…
they’re saying that it’s strange to leave out the history of cruelty when Japan has been one of the most brutal, cruel, and disgusting empires in the world.
Honestly overlooking that history sounds like something an American would do. are you the seppo here?
Who said anything about overlooking? Can you point to where I did that?
cute that you erased all of the warcrimes and genocide
fuckin seppos
I think this is meant to be a joke.
Weird how incivility is supposedly not allowed but open racism is no problem.
Racism and genocide are civil. So it’s fine.
Like how you can tell someobe to kill themselves with clinate, but suggesting they take literally the only action with any hope of working is not allowed.
They showed the finding out
I wish. There really wasnt much of that, proportionately.
