That dude is a liberal with BDSM mental issues. He knows that the Nazis are evil, but he finds every excuse for the Japanese Imperial Institution. He goes so far as to justify Japan getting nukes if China is dares to threaten the Chrysanthemum Throne. He just loves the Japanese Emperor.
A typical raging liberal with no cow sense of actual history. Nazi bad, but Japanese Emperor good. Anyone opposes him, and he calls them basement imperialists. As the saying goes, scratch a liberal, a fascist bleeds.
P.S. When he is mad, he likes to talk about sitting down young boys and whipping their butts with leather. That's a sicko alright.
Ultimately libs who claim to support China don't really believe in it when things are tough. They don't believe it can truly win.
They still end up subscribing to that winology crap that China is acting out of place for being assertive. Coz China has only recently become strong so it doesn't register in their heads yet. A long established power has historical legitimacy, institutional backing, and narrative control to say its simply being assertive over bullying after all. In fact I would say the reason the west is losing legitimacy and getting called out more is more to do with the loss of power instead.
I was revisiting that mess between Lithuania and China on that Taiwan office that lead to China sanctions. Back then Covid was in full spring and the spotlight was on China. China was called a karen for trying to say what Lithuania does. What they are doing is bullying, throwing away their goodwill and acting like some imperialist etc.
Fast forward to today. People don't really say that anymore. Ask Lithuanian people themselves who voted out Gabrielius Landsbergis (the most vocal advocate of it) as well a lot of the incumbent party at that time. Per polls, they didn't agree with how the government handled China and Taiwan relations at the time stating that this values based policy brought unnecessary pain. Gitanas Nausėda said it was a mistake although this is just damage control.
Lithuania is still causing trouble although more quiet. But China acted assertive and didn't lose its goodwill. Rather it shows that it should be taken seriously and that it deserves respect. Even now I would say its still not really given the respect it actually deserves. People are just begrudgingly giving it coz they don't really have a choice.
Speaking of which China being able to effectively sanction others is a new thing too. Seriously not long ago people laughed at the idea China could do sanctions. Now when China does it to Lithuania banks for example you have the EU begging China to reconsider. Funny how the idea of sanctions when it was done to China never bothered them.
