I know it's supposed to be a meme but some of you really seem to think the Japanese were worth than the Nazis

It is frustrating because pointing this out often leads to one being painted as an apologist for Imperial Japan. It is a matter of historical fact that the Japanese never designated an entire ethnic group for extermination regardless of age, sex or geographical location. The overwhelming majority of Japanese atrocities, aside from a few exceptions, were not centrally ordered; they were usually the result of a breakdown of discipline or ordered by local field commanders. Pretty much all the defendents at the Tokyo Trials accused of class B/C war crimes were convicted on the basis that they had been negligent or not done enough to stop them from happening.

They were brutal and ruthless imperialists, but they were not the Nazis.
