The issue isn't presence or absence of atrocity. War itself is an atrocity. The issue is the word "most". The poster is proposing that Japan did more war atrocities than killing of millions of civilians and non-combatants with nuclear bombs, more war atrocities than the holocaust, more war atrocities than Stalin's cannibal soldier legions.
The UN, in the modern day, has people admitting they or their cohort committed war atrocities, in the modern era, present day, present time. Which I am sure is true, at least one did something. We ain't arguing presence-or-absence. We are arguing degree: "Most". Number 1. Gold medal. First place at being bad. And alongside that, the merits and morals of championing/lionizing a nation which, 100 years ago, all people involved there victim and offender now dead and gone, did Bad Things. The twitter twit's argument is Japan is not deserving of accolades or respect because 100 years ago Bad Things happened, and that in terms of people doing Bad Things 100 years ago, Japan did the objectively speaking majority of them.
So given your slant, answer this: Did those limited examples of Japanese troops admitting it outnumber, "most", the entirety of the holocaust, nukes, purposeful famines, concentration camps, slavery, "war brides", science experimentation, that the rest of the world committed? If yes, WOW, I'd love some proof. If no, then shut up, because you're being purposefully disingenuous about the core conversational topic.
