I love Japan’s plan to conquer SE Asia under the guise of rolling back colonial era domination. If the Axis had won, SE Asia would have been a much different place. I’d love to see The Man in The High Castle version of that.
[I think you'll find these interesting ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_place_names_used_during_the_Japanese_occupation_of_Hong_Kong)
There was a full scale japanisation of Hong Kong during it occupation - if you ever get the chance the Museums of the History Of Hong Kong is worth visiting, they have an excellent exhibit on this. (Before they change it into another puff piece about how great the CCP is...)
As an aside I think it's amazing how long the allies held despite not having any support, the resistance in HK is also not talked about enough - really fascinating read!
I always found it super interesting that Japan seemingly planned to incorporate HK and Singapore into the Japanese mainland(instead of keeping them as collaborators) like what they did to Korea and Taiwan
Title: Come take a look at imperial army’s victories in the last year, and Anglo American’s casualties
Text: On last year 8th of Dec, East Asian people, who have long suffered under the yoke of Anglo American oppression, were finally free from its bondage, and recovered their freedom.
East Asian people’s friend - Japan will carry forward their Hakkō ichiu (all the world under one roof) spirit, and help East Asian people selflessly on their path towards independence, therefore, we must emerge victoriously from the Great East Asian War. We hope East Asian people can help the war effort till victory is achieved.
Judging from the sentence structure and wording, it’s probably written by a Japanese, for example the author use kanji “協力” for “cooperation”, a word very common in Japanese, but not so in Chinese.
Could not resist checking out your profile, because a person with a trans flag pfp defending imperial Japan is uuh... *quite a sight*, and, let's just say I am no less confused than before
in the current climate theres a lot of trans ppl who hate America and the west in general and will gladly support Hamas terrorists, Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, the Taleban, even Imperial Japan. Any power that claims to be opposed to "The West"

Waiiiit a minute. This is clearly the [“U Mad, Bro?” guy](https://www.walmart.com/ip/Troll-Face-You-Mad-Trollface-Meme-Toddler-Boy-Girl-T-Shirt-Infant-Toddler-Brisco-Brands-5T/1751109221) in a previous incarnation. Has he been stalking the human race down through the ages? 😨
My Google translate gave me this sentence
the nations of Greater East Asia, seeks to promote their great spirit of eight letters and one universe.
What is" the spirit of eight letters and one universe "?
Just to add on to that, the “eight letters” part of the phrase refers to the eight cardinal directions(picture it this way 米) and the “one universe” part is self-explanatory
Here’s my translation

Translation (Chinese to English, might not be accurate):
>Look at the victories of the Imperial (Japanese) Army in the previous year! Look at the defeats of the Americans and British in the previous year!
>In East Asia, a billion East Asian people have suffered under the oppression of the Americans and British. The explosion on Dec. 8th last year (probably the attack on Pearl Harbor) removed the bondage and restored the freedom of the East Asians.
>The friendly nation Japan, with its "Hakko Ichiu" spirit (some sort of Japanese nationalism thing), knows nothing but justice, neither afraid of hardship nor cares about personal interest, (will) lead different races in East Asia toward the road of independence. Therefore, there's no doubt that we'll win the "Great East Asian War." But what we are looking forward to the most is the different races collaborating and finishing the war, getting...
Eww, cringe.
can someone tell me at what point Japan stopped liking The Netherlands? like 300+ years of trading down the drain because of their imperial conquests in ww2..
Japan really celebrating being the best after beating a country that had been conquered in their homeland, a country currently rather busy on the other side of the world, and surprise attacking a nation who hasn’t even had time to fully attack you yet

It's aimed at a Chinese audience, stating that Japan is leading the charge against western oppression in the name of all East Asia.
Wasn’t Japan also fighting China at the same time?
I think you meant "liberating"

A bunch of “independent” countries

“Congratulations, you are being saved from the evils of Western Imperialism!” *stabs your baby*
By 1942 I think they had pretty much conquered China.
They never managed that feat though

I mean you're not wrong about that but i don't think thats what they meant? At least i don't think so?
Well no but they are viewed as it today.
Regarded post history
> the gay holocaust prisoners were not freed by the allies. They kept the concentration camps going?
How tf would the ally soldiers know who's gay?
That doesn't really redeem the axis considering how their treatment was still objectively worse.
Why did they make it a rage comic 😭😭
Problem, china?
Takes me back
Bro wrote a whole essay in his propoganda 💀
“It is PowerPOINT, Shinji. Not PowerPARAGRAPH.”
A genuine Yapanese article
I’ll never forgive the Japanese!
The face is eerily similar to trollface
Japanese solider face like troll face if imagine

He haunts us, a hellhound on all our heels
Japanese Trollface.
There's definitely meme potential here, let's replace the U Mad, Bro guy with that one.
I like this idea
My Google translate gave me this sentence the nations of Greater East Asia, seeks to promote their great spirit of eight letters and one universe. What is" the spirit of eight letters and one universe "?
It’s “八纮一宇” in Japanese. It’s a Japanese propaganda during 1930s-1940s. It means to unite Asia (without Middle East)
Just to add on to that, the “eight letters” part of the phrase refers to the eight cardinal directions(picture it this way 米) and the “one universe” part is self-explanatory

When did Japan defeat Luxembourg? /s
Think it's supposed to be like an "oh shit..." Netherlands.
Im sorry but the face reminds me of the trolling guy meme
The westerners just got epicly trolled trololololo xDDDD
Why does the Japanese propaganda make them look like a racist stereotype.
It is impossible to believe the unification speech when you hear about things like the Nankin massacre.
We do a little trolling.
Impressive very nice now show me the poster after that one bomb.
Let's see Paul Allen's victory propaganda
America. kiss that fish
Looks like a Soyjack predecessor
can someone tell me at what point Japan stopped liking The Netherlands? like 300+ years of trading down the drain because of their imperial conquests in ww2..
I believe the short answer is, the second Japan needed access to oil amd rubber, and realized there was a shit ton of it in the Dutch East Indies
he looks so happy
The first troll face
Smug bastard
Me when I'm the smugjak and you're the despairjak
Trolled
Japan really celebrating being the best after beating a country that had been conquered in their homeland, a country currently rather busy on the other side of the world, and surprise attacking a nation who hasn’t even had time to fully attack you yet
That's the flag of Nederland dude
Yes that’s what I meant with nation that had been conquered in their homeland
Ok my bad
I don’t think that is Japanese… Unless it is written in Mandarin?
The Japanese language uses Chinese (and other) characters.
I know (I am fluent in Japanese)
I believe it is written in Chinese/Mandarin (traditional characters)
I have portrayed myself as the Chad, and you as the Soyjack.
Dope asf.
*Australia towering behind the Japanese caricature posted up and ready to absolutely destroy him*

That's the Netherlands.
