General Macarthur called Japan a nation of 12 year olds. I believed the hysteria that Japan was going to rule the world, till I was stationed there for a year (84-85). I’ll be blasted by the Blank Slate Theory crazies, but basically Japan would love to revert to a norm of feudalism and stagnation instead of some stupid white liberals one world nonsense.

In 1951.

They'd be...

I don't doubt you are right; in the long run, nations don't change their character much. History illustrates, time and time again, that culture trumps politics, every time.
