Ban the instigator.
My posts fit the content of this thread. I'm bitching about SDN and you just happen to post there. It's not my fault that you flipped out like a baby and took it as some great offense.
Listen you little rules lawyering half-abortion: Fuck off.
I know but Desslok's voice is completely lame and unmenacing. It's very improper for a villain. Whenever he has the star force at his mercy (which is like every other episode) and starts gloating, all I can do is laugh.

i think it can be awful on either side of the pacific
but i geso america can be worse since ya know
they control the world
i was talking about american animus mostly- how you have the japan-can-do-no-wrong types, who are kinda annoying, and then you have the reaction of "aargh don't you see that japan is SO FUCKING TERRIBLE", which i personally find to be quite a bit worse because it's pure knee-jerk bullshit. i actually have little experience with japanese nationalists apart from the assumption they are terrible like nationalists everywhere

From what I understand, they have the added "bonus" of negating Japan's crimes during WW2 (Rape of Nankin, etc...), either saying it didn't happen, downplaying their magnitude, or just straight up acknowledging them but refusing to see them as "wrong".
Mind you it's just from what I heard : I'm ready to bet that I have less knowledge about Japanese Nationalists or even Japanese culture at large than you.
Don't nationalists try to do that everywhere though? I mean American nationalists certainly gloss over the effective genocide of the native americans. The only difference is that japan's large scale atrocities are more recent than ours. What you're talking about hardly seems unique to Japan.

How large scale are we talking about? Because the My Lai massacre was pretty big.
The Americans needed to kill Indians the old fashioned way
It's funny that when talking about how nationalism is bad and makes people exakn away or ignore the bad parts of history it's so easy to get a demonstration
Ps not only is nationalism bad pretty much everyone who has nationalist feelings is effectively I'M A JUGGALO WOOP WOOP

They wouldn't give me a pamphlet and I think we terrified them a little, but the Soul Brothers encountered some Japanese ultranats (uyoku dantai) when we went to visit the emperor on New Year's Day. Japan has this mildly unusual thing going on where people with agendas roll around in vans with speakers on the top droning out propaganda - we saw it a couple of times with a Christian group. Uyoku dantai are pretty distinctive though, because they get about in black vans with old school Imperial flags on the side. Even saw one with the flag of the Greater East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere.
They make a lot of noise and some have ties to the yakuza. Strictly speaking they're sort of focused on how awesome it was prior to 1945 and how it would be totally great to go back to that (they also hate Communists).

I saw that in Kyoto, because I was there during an election campaign.
It was one of those moments where I looked and realised "I am not at home."
