Hitler bars and J-Pop: different land, different culture and freedom

In the Western World, the events which took place during the Second World War are repeatedly used to argue that the preservation of cohesive ethnic communities and national pride lead to wars and genocidal Holocausts. This argument is so common, it is actually hard to imagine the war being mentioned in any other context. But it is. In Eastern Asia.

One should note that, in Eastern Asia, the Japanese conducted a massive ethnic cleansing program and murdered millions during the Second World War, and these acts mirror the atrocities which took place during the same time in the Western World. Still, in Eastern Asia, none of these events are used to silence those who favor ethnic communities and cohesion; moreover, not every cultural or scholarly reference to the Second World War period has to plant a seed that causes the individual to become hysterical when someone says that the preservation of the ethnic community and national pride are good. In fact, the following Japanese music video serves no concrete political purpose; it is simply a bunch of Japanese girls walking through a period in history:


*Update*

What a surprise: the Western, Jew-controlled opinion-monopolizers at YouTube decided to delete the video. No big deal. I figured that would happen, so I saved the video. I will repost it, below, so I can continue our examination:


The point that, in eastern Asian countries, one can talk about this certain time in history and do so without being pressured to make a pre-determined social or political point. In the meantime, Hitler has become something of a "badass of the West" in the Far East, and is viewed the way we are inclined to look at violent samurai, or warriors like Gengis Khan - if you have any doubt, just look at how many Khan-themed Mongolian restaurants there are. The phenomenon is worth pointing out, because it appears the same thing is happening with Hitler, too:

In 2006, the restaurant Hitler’s Cross opened in Mumbai, India:



It was not long until Westerners found out about the locale. As reported by Associated Press:

When Hitler’s Cross restaurant opened in a Mumbai suburb Sunday, local politicians and movie industry types were on hand to celebrate beneath the posters of the Nazi leader and swastikas.

“It really made people very upset that a person responsible for the massacre of six million Jews can be glorified,” Elijah Jacob, one of the Jewish community’s leaders, said on Wednesday.

Soon after the AP article was published, the owner of the restaurant was harassed until he gave in and changed the name.

Around the same time, a "Hitler Bar" opened in Busan, South Korea. Here is a picture of the establishment:




The site Pusanweb interviewed the owner of the bar, who said the following:

"I wanted to design a beer bar with something shocking that would attract the young generation. Beer got me thinking about Germany (the home of beer) which made me think of Hitler. [...] he is no different than Alexander the Great or Gengis Khan. They were all conquerors who killed many people and they are all ‘big men’ in the sense of their notoriety living on long after they died."
The owner was also harassed until he changed the name of his bar to Ditler’ and then, to ‘Ceasar’.

Here is a another Hitler-themed locale, called "Modern Bar Hitler" (in South Korea). The photograph is courtesy of Lynxsquared:

So what is your take on Hitler and the Nazis being used outside of the usual, predictable context they appear in? Without a doubt, the Jews and lib-left are offended. But is it also not offensive that, moving forward, Germans only being born now will be forced to look at the past and pushed to hate themselves because of the events that happened during the reign of Adolf Hitler? And what about this bludgeon being used to pressure Germans to fund Israel's military when, incidentally, this military is deployed in actions that bring harm to Palestinian civilians?

That said, is it not outrageous that memories of Hitler will be used to justify Israel's position in Palestinians when, from that relationship, we see Israelis applying an economic stranglehold, seizing property and causing mass destruction in "anti-terrorist" measures towards the Palestinians that kill civilian innocents? And what about the fact that this treatment is occurring in real time and affecting people who are alive today, whereas increasingly "everything Hitler" is a past that nobody has ever even witnessed.

Here are a few more questions to think about: would it be better if the Mongolians were forced to look at the past and hate themselves because of the events that happened during the reign of Gengis Khan during a brief period in Mongolian history? Are population slaughters, pillaging and rapes we see today common simply because the mass slaughters, pillaging and rapes carried out by the Mongolians have been trivialized?
