The people weren't at war, their governments were. Never lose sight of the real enemy.
German here. You sure, mate? Cause y'all can't let that idea die...
Maybe I'm misinterpreting what you're saying, but that hasn't been my experience. Either Germans in American or as an American in Germany, we've enjoyed each other's company. Talking, learning a bit of each other's culture, buying each other beers. This isn't a one off thing or with a particular person, it's been my experience a hand full of times both ways.
No it's not a general experience. It's just a bit tiresome hearing dumb jokes about that matter. That doesn't happen often, and it happens with ... special people I don't want to connect anyways.
Yes. Governments are the enemy.
Was it Hirohito or Tojo who tortured and murdered people as part of Unit 731?
Pragmatism. Japanese army did horrible things in Korea and China, so safer to side with USA, who also happened to suddenly own the worlds most powerful weapon ever and had shown they weren't afraid to use it.
Lmao. I think it's just they didn't have a choice
More likely the red army was about to show up on their door steps and werent planning on taking prisoners.

I guess this was in Japan, in the USA they stayed hating the Japanese because of Pearl Harbor. Americans have a slur for Japanese people they weren't afraid to use.
Probably the laziest slur ever, too. Just chopped off a few letters
Ugh, as an Okinawan, this bothers me so much.
Are there any lemmy/piefed instances in Japan? Just curious since your on a Canadian, never thought about it before
In the way a master would hug a slave but yeah, ig. 🤷
