Wondering about

I know.  Me writing in English. I guess this will make it easier for other people to read.  Actually it is making it easier for me to write, when that shouldn't be the case as a Spanishhablante.

I don't talk (too much) about politics because it makes me feel dirty, exhausted, nauseous, etc.  Not my country's (which definitively I know close to 0 at this point) not Japan's (which I don't understand as it is too bizarre for me).

Still I'm wondering about a few things about this country.  I always see the nationalist mentioned, and while i agree with almost none of their ideas it makes me think about the past and the correct shape of an independent nation.

I guess it's difficult for me to think that civil education is wrong, being a product of my country's civil education efforts.  Things like revering your flag, knowing the lyrics of your national anthem, the country simbols... Never thought them as wrong or as a nationalist turn.  Separation of church and state was kind of meaningless when one of the big events of independence day is a misa. Is the Yasukuni issue just the A class war criminals in there?

Is there a REAL account of WWII? Can there be a REAL account of WWII?

Is an apology that difficult to do?  We need to move on.
