<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KSorbo, post: 5138951, member: 56370&quot;]This has been an interesting and informative thread to read.&nbsp; We are fortunate not to have lived through a recent occupation like the Koreans have.&nbsp; When visiting Tokyo last fall I gained some first hand perspective on historical revisionism.&nbsp; I stayed a couple nights at an APA hotel, which is a chain owned by a right wing nationalist. Instead of a Gideon Bible like in our hotel rooms, this room contained a couple of nationalist themed books by the owner which, along with other topics, addressed WWII.&nbsp; That piqued my curiosity enough to visit the Yasukuni shrine and war museum which is dedicated to the deification of all who died serving Japan.&nbsp; I found the sanitized presentation of history quite shocking when compared with postwar deNazification in Germany, not to mention our National reckoning with the sins, real and imagined, of our past.&nbsp; It made me feel fortunate to live in a country where we aren’t afraid to admit we did things wrong at times.&nbsp; “Wokeness” seems to be more of a Western phenomenon, while countries like Korea and Japan have a different political dynamic.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
