re: #326 Blind Frog Belly White

Reminds me of Londo Mollari on Bab5:

“How many Centauri does it take to screw in a lightbulb? .. Just one, but in the great old days of the Republic hundreds of servants would change a thousand lightbulbs at our slightest whim!!”

There was a DW story about Japanese nationalists whitewashing attempts with history books, and this part of the article stood out for me:

“After Japan annexed the Korean Peninsula [in 1910], we spent a lot of money on infrastructure and education there to raise the living standard of people there to that of Japan,” said Moteki. “Japan spent so much money that you could say it was the Koreans that exploited us.”

He dismisses claims from hundreds of Korean women, a handful of whom survive to this day, that the military abducted them and forced them to work in frontline brothels.

Sounds like circular logic to me. Isn’t that what Marine Le Pen insinuated when she said that the colonization of Algeria was a great thing?
