literal infanticide becomes a political necessity as a product of MONARCHY

If they wanted their children to be safe, then they should not have forced them to be the sole inheritors of a brutal dictatorship

    political necessity

    Just because people stomp up and down about 'political necessity' doesn't actually conjure that ideological abstraction up into material reality. China didn't machine gun Pu Yi and incidentally, their communist party is still running the show. I don't know how difficult it is not to machine gun a 13 year old, and no amount of "you made me do this" are going to change the fact that we're the ones making the (erroneous) decision to machine gun 13 year olds.

    Kind to people, ruthless to systems, folks.

    If Chinese rebels new this online argument was going to happen they probably would've killed whoever this guy is that they let live.

    I mean they literally let him live after being a Japanese puppet during their atrocity spree in the 30's and 40's, so I think my dumb ass using him as a morality puppet would seem just about par for the course to them.
