Regarding the Nanking massacre and Unit 731, you have actually stated that it didn't happen and was Chinese propaganda. This is demonstrably untrue. It would require us to believe that thousands of documents as well as Japanese testimony was all a Chinese fabrication. Your (1) is a moot point. It is very easy to sit here and say that Roosevelt and MacArthur were wrong to provide ships to the R.O.C. forces to relocate to Taiwan - and even easier to extend that guilt to "America" in the collective sense, but collective guilt is a mistake.

I've been getting more aggressive replies to this tweet than I realistically have time to even read, let alone reply to.

So since I seem to have a lot of attention right now, it makes more sense for me to summarize the content of those replies and then say why they're wrong... To do this I won't be asking anyone for help or rushing to do any extra background historical reading I haven't already done (I don't have time). I'm just going to use simple logical reasoning.

The first type of reply I'm getting is that Japanese war atrocities didn't happen.

Last week I got covid-19 for the first time. It wasn't anything other than a barely noticeable cold for me. It should be obvious that there are any number of possible explanations for this and that I - as an individual - have no real way of knowing which may be correct... It could be that that's just what covid usually is for most people - a mild cold; it could be that I got a low viral load; it could be that my vaccinations helped me (AZ twice followed by Medigen); it could be that I have a naturally superior immune system, or a mix of reasons.

Pictures from today's trip to Namaxia district in northern Kaohsiung county... What I came to see; the now boarded-up western entrance to the second of the two cancelled trans-basin diversion tunnels that would have fed water from the Laonung river into an obscure tributary for the Tseng-wen river and thence into Tseng-wen reservoir...
