>>507815847 (OP)Japanese never surrendered their national spirit, they just channelled into other things like tech or cars or fishing lmao, while Germany for example did surrender, they are ashamed and regret what they did, most Japanese people don't give a shit about what they did in WW2, they are proud of who they are, not even the occupation changed that, while Germany changed itself to align with the occupying nation spirits, they adopted Americanism and Communism in a heartbeat, therefore flagellating their own souls.
