The whole Nazi thing in Asia... that's what happens when the West politicizes being a victim. The West likes to point out Mao was the greatest murderer in history yet the Jews are the greatest victims? Mao did nothing to the Jews. If Mao is the greatest murderer then wouldn't Chinese be the greatest victims? Westerners don't like the victim card being played yet they're the ones that created the victim culture not to recognize where the most help gets where it's needed but to control who's a victim and who's called a villain aka ignoring their own crimes against the rest of the world. It's hard to tell Asians to take the Holocaust seriously when the greatest villain according to those that get to decide who's a victim isn't against the Jews. Jews know if they push it, it's more likely to spur anti-Semitism not curb it.
I remember playing pool with some guys and one of them who was Jewish mentions in conversation that everyone hates the Jews. I was sort offended by that comment because people who hate the Jews do it for religious reasons and the Chinese don't follow the religions that hate Jews. So I said, "The Chinese don't hate the Jews..." There was a silent pause because I knew what the reaction would be of my arrogance. Then I said, "We just don't care!" It was the most righteous thing to say for such broad brush self-centered statement. There's a big difference from not caring and hating. Not caring is sometimes worse than hatred for people who expect something thinking themselves a victim to be recognized. Hence why some the West's victims hate Asians more than they hate their actual oppressor.
You know what people fear of China rising the most even when China has no history of invading or oppressing them. It's not oppression or being murdered. It's what they're doing to Asians right now... ignoring you like you don't exist. The West fears losing the ability to dictate to the world what's important and sometimes more importantly what's not important. Who's a victim... who's not a victim.
It's pretty damn hypocritical to expect to be treated like a victim from people who did nothing to you and certainly nothing you can't be accused of yourself. Look at all those who think of themselves as the greatest victims in the history of the world. They ain't China's victims. You know when you hear people say they can't be responsible for the actions of their ancestors? Oh yes you can by your own logic since Asians are expected to pay for their crimes. Look at all the criticism from the West bringing up the specter of their colonialism to scare developing countries from dealing with China. They don't like how China gets something in return as if it were a business transaction and not an obligation by how Africans have been victimized throughout history. Yeah so if they think China has to pay for their oppression of Africans throughout history, then they are responsible for the actions of their ancestors.
That's the slippery slope of playing victim to those who didn't victimize you. Is it less offensive to bring up the ghosts of the Japanese Empire today when advocating Japan arm itself nuclear weapons to handle China? Do you see anyone saying that's wrong to say?
