    At least imperial japan no longer exists. Anyone flying the flag is seen as a nationalistic weirdo by normal Japanese people.

      Yeah totally. But if you dare even insinuate that Japan was anything other than a victim of WW2, the public outcry is so massive that you will be forced to publicly apologize and denounce your previous statement

        Do you have something to back this up? That wasn’t the feeling I had during the seven years I lived in Japan. There was something of a victim mentality, but it wasn’t as militant as you are making out.
