Yeah, I’m very familiar with that, I remember reading about how his grandfather Nobosuke Kishi was involved in organizing slave labor in the Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo, employed the Yakuza to keep the Chinese workers in line with their brutal tactics, pressured waitresses at restaurants into having s** with him, and was nicknamed “the Monster of the Showa Era”. And then he got away scot-free after the war.
Hmm, an economic minister who organized slave labor for a genocidal Axis regime and got away with it after the war. Kind of like a Japanese Albert Speer.
Even his grandson Shinzo Abe was involved in historical revisionism and negationism, had a campaign slogan to “Take back Japan”, supported “patriotic” Japanese history textbooks, and criticized American textbooks for being overly harsh on Japan. Still, RIP.
