It's probably for the best though.
  • Are we forgetting that the Japanese sided with the literal actual nazis?

    all I was pointing out was that, while allied with the Axis, they weren't allied in all the ways. You're trying to pick a fight that's not there.

  • It's probably for the best though.
  • That they weren’t anti-semitic is the weirdest fucking take I’ve ever seen on Imperial Japan.

    they weren't anti-semitic. what part of that link did you not comprehend?

    you do realize you can abuse people and not be anti-semitic, you could be anti-aryan or anti-roma or anti-gay or anti-whatever, those aren't anti-semitic.

    did you not read the whole "we’re busy abusing chinese and korean people” policy part?

    No where do I say they were good people doing nice things lol. wtf

  • It's probably for the best though.
  • yup.

    but also:

    On December 6, 1938, the Japanese government made a decision of prohibiting the expulsion of the Jews in Japan, Manchukuo, and the rest of Japanese-occupied China. This was described as "amoral", based primarily on the consideration of avoiding antagonizing the United States. Even after Japan and United States became involved in a war against each other, the Japanese government's neutrality towards the Jews continued.

    Germany repeatedly tried to get Japan on board with persecuting the Jews and Japan always stepped back and kept a "nah that's your thing we're busy abusing chinese and korean people" policy.

    Life is rarely simple. History too.

  • Nuclear isn't perfect, but it is the best we have right now.
  • yep, they're awesome, and may sidestep some of the HUGE investments in gigantic infrastructure - one day. What you conveniently leave out is no one is doing this yet at scale; china's got one test reactor going last time I looked.

    I personally love the idea, but the nuclear industry here in the US is obsessed with large steam turbine setups in the multiple megawatt scale; even small modular reactors are getting side eyes.

    So yeah, it exists, but it's not going to displace the current tech (which is really 60's tech with better electronics).

  • Nuclear isn't perfect, but it is the best we have right now.
  • This argument would make sense if the aircraft, when they crashed, left radioactive debris with hundreds of years of threat.

    Thank fuck we don't let the nuclear industry make aircraft.

    Otherwise your premise disregards the long life of the threat involved.
