Hatoyama’s Hitler Youth?

Yeah, but they don’t. So they appeal to those that don’t care about subtlety, like most of the great unwashed masses out there. Personally I think there should be more Mussolini analogies….

He also had more balls….

actualy they both had only one ball..

But I thought he made the trains run on time.

“Imperial Japan’s constitution had some VERY Hilter like messages.”

Perhaps “Hilter-like”, but probably not “Hitler-like”, as Hitler wasn’t even a gleam in his daddy’s eye when the Meiji Constitution was written and promulgated.

@The Overthinker
He’s talking out of his ass. Those are lies spread by enemies during the war to make them look bad. Once again, people don’t bother to fact check.

Imperial Japan’s constitution had some VERY Bismarck like messages?

“Your professor actually taught you that sections of the Meiji constitution were “Hitler-like”? What part, exactly, was Hitlerly?”

I just remember when we got the old constitution we talked mostly about how the tenno had supreme power over pretty much everything, and the one part that had a reference in the footnotes to Hitler when Japanese people were referred to as being the superior race. This whole superior race thing and the whole Tenno being devine and the Fuherer being kind of omnipresent, relates them. I think that’s why when the new constitution was made Hirohito presented that new years speech saying something along the lines of “the relation between tenno and kokumin cant be made based on the ruler being seen as devine and the people being seen as superior”. I don’t know it was something like that, but MacArthur made him say it anyway.

Other than using the constitution to compare them,I guess you could compare the two countries at the time for the acts of genocide they committed. Japan in Nanking, and Germany with their concentration camps.

I just learned all this stuff in class man, its not my opinion.
