And what I mean is Japan was never really a country about civil rights or personal freedoms. Historically they (And most Asian countries really) have been all about the authority. The emperor being divine and all that, and going so far as to consider it heavenly or virtuous to kiss up to authority no matter how bad said authority is.

To put it another way... let's not forget whose side they were on in World War II.
