>>13476461>Imperial Japan's colonizationNo apologies here; Japan's colonialism objectively had good aspects. One need only look at Mengjiang as an example; before and after Japanese control the Mongolian culture was being eradicated, and has since been.
>its nothing unique. Literally every country does genocidesIt's the hypocrisy of it; a key tenant of Indonesian national identity is anti-colonialism, yet they were among the most aggressive expansionist colonialist nations of Southeast Asia.
The only real comparison would be Vietnam with it's genocide of the Montagnards, Cham, and Khmer Khrom. The Vietnamese and Japanese however aren't buddy buddy on a national level.
>Do you even know anything about Indonesia's history to judge them as violent savages?Did you even know anything about the Balinese forced famine against the Sasak of Lombok before I brought it up?
>while Indonesia was doing nothing of the sort'Indonesia' was not a nation but various tribes and fiefdoms at this point, most of which were at violent war with each other. In the 16th century the Aceh Sultanate was conquering Sumatra, Pajang was at war with Mataram, etc.
