So I guess Italians should be proud of Rome killing and enslaving the entire Mediteranian, Mongolians proud of Genghis Khan and his succesors raining down terror upon the world, and Germans proud of Hitler for, as short as time it was, becoming the fear of the entire world and bringing pride and glory to his broken nation?
You could kinda see now, why the Japanese conservatives think that it's a double standard why their Imperialism is looked at negatively and uniquely, and in a way, I guess they are right for once if Westerners do take pride in their own nation's history of Imperialism and brutality.
