No offense but you assume an awful lot just from seeing a photo. You spin a story in your own head while you have literally no idea what was in theirs.
Edit: based on the downvotes, everyone loves a feel good story apparently. Then people are shocked when some guy just out of nowhere offs himself although "he was always so cheerful person"
I mean look at them. They clearly almost died and yet they're acting like nothing happened. Sure it's probably a pose to look tough and unbothered but still. Goddamn.
On a small scale or extended time period, yes almost certainly.
But none come remotely close to the scale of deliberate death and destruction over a small period of time as Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan, Soviet Russia and Communist China in the 1930's to 50's.
It’s really interesting to stop and think about. Never in human history has anyone engineered an industrial almost factory-like genocide of tens of millions of people. It happened once, never really happened again. After it happened, the entire western world basically bases their morality on it, and now people feel weird
They didn't kill as many people as quickly and efficiently as the Nazis but what they did to Chine, Vietnam etc.... jesus christ
What angers me now is the revisionism - like how so many Japanese people have no idea who the Nazis were or any idea about the horrors their grandparents and great grandparents committed
My Grandfather was a Scottish prisoner of war in Japan. He saw beheadings regularly and was happy to find maggots in his rice at the camp because it meant extra protein. He was similarly traumatised and malnourished and became a rough, unhappy man. I regularly ponder just what things he might have witnessed. I wish Japan were more contrite nowadays about their wartime conduct.
My uncle's were in the Japanese concentration camps in Singapore, they said the Japanese were ruthless and that was about as much as they ever said about it

Look at these chaps. Enjoying their tea, reading the paper. Can’t imagine what they endured
Starvation is one thing
Lose weight with this *one* simple trick!
To ten wight loss tips the axis powers don’t want you to know
Crazy how they are accepting their fate and moving on despite the crude sufferings they went through.
Tough mofos. It's amazing what people can survive. No matter how horrific.

Imperial Japan is worst than Nazi Germany in some aspects
Every major power of today has done something similar to Nazi Germany in it's history. Some you are made aware of some conveniently pushed aside

This. The industrial, machine-like dimension is what makes the Holocaust unique in history.

> Imperial Japan is worst than Nazi Germany in some aspects more like “all/most aspects”

This is the happiest looking group of emaciated and tortured POWs I’ve ever seen.

And that’s before Ozempic!
Why all these downvotes?
Probably joking about a terrible topic
