I've always thought it would have resulted in two Japans, like how Korea and Germany got split. But I have no idea where the socialists in Japan would have gained power. I know they existed though, like that guy who got killed with a sword on TV.

That's what Truman and co feared, which is why they staked their claim with the atom bomb. Even against the advice of MacArthur.

dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer
