How did the Japanese react when they finally learned that they aren't really children of some sun goddess, but literally chink and korean emigrants?

Pobably like the average /pol/tard after realizing he's not really nordic
or like the average leftie after finding out there's no sane way to interpret Marx.

t. they haven't found out yet

they deny it to this day

They went through the usual existential crisis.

1: there is no god and we're all going to die
2: we have only 1 life and can't spend it saddened by our bleak existence
3: our ancestors gained strength from the belief in Amaterasu and that our spirits will live on, we must achieve the same but without superstition
4: we won't ever have answers about our consciousness and other big questions but we can focus on the material world to support us in our struggle to find meaning

>no sane way to interpret Marx
His critiques of capitalism was pretty good.
His attempt to replace it and all derivatives of it were the shit tier part.

How did the Christians react when they finally learned that they aren't really children of YHWH, but literally descendants of a lower common ancestor?

pretty chill I would say, unless you don't count the cultists in America

>His critiques of capitalism was pretty good.
dude the rich people will own everything
incredible that no one ever said that before marx

>strawman
>never read marx

Try again sweetie

>reading Marx
Ah, I see you are retarded. No reason to carry on this conversation.

On the contrary, having Chink descent was a thing of pride before the 19th Century.

There were many clans who bragged about being descended from a Chinese scholar who immigrated to Japan, exiled princes of Imperial Blood, or even Chinese adventurers. Clans frequently charmed visiting Chinese notables into staying in Japan by offering daughters to them. As with the case of an expert Chink saddlemaker who founded the Otomo Clan.

It was only after the 19th Century, following the Qing Decline, the Meiji restoration, Japan's rise, and Japanese nationalism did the Japanese go "N-no, nothing of our culture came from the stinky Chinese! Nothing!!"

Although nowadays, denial of Chinese influence runs higher in Korea- retarded levels higher- than Japan, who are more honest with their history today.

Except when it comes to their war crimes?

*Shiba clan

Japan has always known they started in China.

Memes.

I'm a history MA Student in Asia (Flipdom.) I have visited many seminars on WWII where Japanese historians pretty much accepted that war crimes were a thing and talked about it like reasonable people.

What sets people's blood to boil is when some isolated incident of a nip nationalist denies war crimes in some school textbook in this one school that it sets off a scandal in Asiapac.

>unironically lambasts influential philosophers without bothering to understand the author or read any of his arguments in the best possible light.
Youre another Anti-intellectual /polt/tard.

The LDP of Japan keeps pushing revisionist textbooks.

>What sets people's blood to boil is when some isolated incident of a nip nationalist denies war crimes in some school textbook in this one school that it sets off a scandal in Asiapac.

Yea except they aren't isolated incidents. The Japanese (and many other Asian cultures) have deep seated cultural taboos around discussing negative actions that occurred in the past. The vast majority of young people in Japan have no idea what happened at Nanking and legitimately believe that Japan was fighting a war of self defense against the US.

>Further memes.
The average nip doesn't really like talking about WWII largely because it was quite the humiliation. Both the defeats and the stuff the Empire did in their name.

Outright denials tend to the purview of those screeching far-right nationalists riding around in vans painted with nationalist slogans.

>he actually boasts about his ignorance
Wow....

I'm sure you read every single book about nazism/racialism too.

KEK as if you have read even one before you come on here fucking foaming at the mouth about niggers and white genocide

The last time there were changes to a textbook was 10 years ago and only like 5 schools use the super retarded versions

What a feminine and predictable response

you're correct that the general population is far more honest about Japanese war crimes in WW2 than your average nip nationalist, however the Japanese government has been stacked with revisionists pretty much since WW2

>LOL you're a cuck!!!1!1 MAGA PRAISE KEK!
What a predictable, empty response. Your life must be difficult being a fucking brainlet.

Girls, girls! Both of your ideologies suck and your ideologues autistic. It's okay to just get along and blame porky jews for everything.

Really? Sinostudies was a really big think back in the 1930s in Japan, many Generals were flat out sinophiles, so much so some claimed WE ARE HEIRS OF CHINA tier
>Chinese influence runs higher in Korea
God this pisses me off, Koreans claim that it was Korea who saved China from Japan during the Imjin War. . .

>imma give my opinion on someone despite never reading his works
Go back [spoiler]Veeky Forums[/spoiler]

Japanese villages look so comfy.

The book of Mormon

Sinostudies was like prominent among the Genro and the Old Guard politicians. Not so much the 1900s-1920s Versailles-butthurt generation.

Stop reading weibo and Taiwanese posts and actually read from academics in Korea.

If I mentioned every time Chinese netizens screamed shit about political revisionism, you wouldn't here the end of it. But I don't. Because they don't represent the minority and even if they do, it's not like the majority is educated in history.
