The amount of a anarcho punk bands that used the rising sun flag in their art is a clesr sign that you shouldnt get your politics from music. Crass loved using that shit, The Mob did a few times as well, and I love The Mob. I've got a pal from Japan and she put it really well "basically america sacrificed the people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki so they could spare our war criminals.". It is so refreshing to hear someone FROM JAPAN shit talk the place. If she liked living there she wouldnt have left. This made her a lot more popular with the Phillipino staff who make up a lot of the kitchen immediately and surprised the hell out of the other white people who even though they arent weebs still have very fantastical ideas about Japan.
