muchymozzarella:boundbytheclock:thomaspaineslessarticulatecousin:punklibertarian:themodernmaccabee:muchymozzarella:Please reblog this even if you don’t careThey’re trying to erase the existence of the rape victims of Japanese soldiers in World War II because they think the reminder of their crimes might make Japan a little bit crossDuterte, the absolute coward, is more worried about women criticizing him than actually honoring the women this country needs to rememberPlease don’t let these women be silenced.I think this falls under the never again umbrellaJapan committed horrific acts during WW2 and they need to be brought to light.You mean like keeping up statues put up by democrats of democrats they were very proud of from the civil war?…. You know, the southern ones, the slave owners…It’s fucked up that you are comparing slave owners to comfort women. It’s fucked up. Also, the point was not “boohoo look at this” so you can reply “yes, but others have/had it worse”. The fact that they are removing statues that remind us Filipinos that Japanese did this to us to make Japan less uncomfortable is fucked up. But Japan has been paying reparations. It’s not enough, it will never be. But they are not denying it happened. They are burying it. We mustn’t let that happen.But fuck any Republican comparing this to the demand of Americans to remove their statues glorifying slavery. NOPE. You have Americans denying Slavery existing. Some of your schools don’t even discuss it.Filipinos learn about the Japanese Occupation from Elementary to College. We need to learn and teach deeper things like the experiences of these survivors, yes. And we must help the any way we can.Slaveowner statues would be if we had statues of the rapists up lmao. Idiots really don’t get that. -- source link
