America put "freedom of thought and freedom of press" in to the Japanese constitution whilst at the same time burning over 7000 different books in Japan and using police force against people who rebelled against this book seizure. And all media after that had to have 2 copies of everything , sending a copy to the occupational forces to get "approval" and get censored according to what the occupational forces wanted. The hypocracy is hilarious.
Btw "freedom of press and freedom of thought" was put in the constitution for the benefit of commies, because imperial Japan used to jail communists. After the war, America freed the commies that Imperial Japan had jailed
I explained in my comment. Imperial Japan used to jail communists. So America originally put freedom of press and freedom of thought in to the constitution to protect the commies.
I'm sure they wanted to shake down Japan's political structure, but the wording is ironic because communism typically demands the removal of those freedoms.

Only once the commies think their control has reached a point where they can't be stopped. When they're the scrappy underdog, they are all for free speech.
Going to sound callous. But that’s what happens when you LOSE A WAR.
Don’t be a Japanophile. The Japanese did some fucked up shit in wwii. They also were retarded. They had no end game and severely misunderstood the US ((government’s)) appetite for a long war in the pacific
What’s the point of pointing out the “hypocrisy of the system”? It’s self congratulatory. The real hypocrisy is the hypocrisy of the governed: constantly complaining about the that of three government, but unwilling to do anything about it.
