Comment on YSK: The US massacred hundreds & raped children as young as 12 in one day. Only one perpetrator was convicted - later commuted by President Nixon.

  Then the US absorbed Japan as an imperial vassal, didn’t mete out sufficient justice for the perpetrators, and went on to use Japan for logistics support during its attack on Vietnam. These two things are actually part of one greater whole, one that is still happening to this day.

  You can always find something worse. Doesn’t make it acceptable.

  What Japan did to China was worse? Ok. So what? What relevance does that have?

  Is that how your approach everything in life? Your mother is raped and mutilated, that’s bad, but what Japan did to China was worse. So… stop complaining I guess? (Obvious sarcasm but I genuinely fear you won’t catch that)

    Your comment can be summarized in one word:

    “Whataboutism”

  “We’re not as bad as the worst of the worst” isn’t the gotcha you seem to think it is.
