People always want to easily characterize a person, and in the end they find that what they think is good has done the most evil things, and what they think is loyal betrays you the most. Think about the "right" in "Never forget the class struggle", think about the Jews in the Holocaust, think about the caste of the Indians, being labelled as bad people, there is no chance to be a "good person" anymore. Japan is a rightist, always a rightist, and always needs to be reformed.
Perhaps for the legitimacy of "illegitimate rule", we will always need some bad guys: the hostile forces, the Japs, the right-leaning inside... who use that terrible rumor to stir up people's "passion" to kill. To guarantee the privilege of a small group of people wearing white hats and eating cheese.
