From a dialogue between Masayuki Takayama and Rui Abiru.
This excerpt traces a continuous line of contempt toward non-white, non-Christian nations—from prewar Western writings to modern claims echoed through UN-style rhetoric.
It then argues that the postwar approach toward Japan amounted to state dismantlement, including plans to destroy industrial capacity: abolishing aircraft manufacturing and dismantling shipbuilding, steelmaking, and aluminum refining under reparations guidance.
The passage connects wartime shock at naval defeats to a postwar ideology of “demontage,” framing it as a deliberate project to reduce Japan’s capabilities.

As readers already know. I have continued to denounce at the loudest volume in the world the fact that the United Nations. the worst organization in history. so frequently takes such an attitude toward Japan.
The following is an excerpt from p. 73.

●Contempt for Non-White. Non-Christian Nations.
Abiru.
When you look at old foreign writings. they really say things like. “Japanese people’s eyes are distorted. so they are not suited to be pilots.”
Takayama.
That they have night-blind eyes. and that because they are carried on backs while being raised. their semicircular canals are not normal. so they cannot ride airplanes. and so on.
Abiru.
Foreign scholars wrote such things without hesitation.
Takayama.
It is the same even now.
They say that in Japan women have a low status.
They say there is no freedom of the press.
Toward non-white. non-Christian nations. their contempt reaches the extreme.
As readers already know. I have continued to denounce at the loudest volume in the world the fact that the United Nations. the worst organization in history. so frequently takes such an attitude toward Japan.
It is no exaggeration to say that there is no organization as foolish. base. and ignorant as the United Nations.
Even if they called prewar Japan a warlike military great power.
even if the West’s defeat in the Russo-Japanese War was an exceptional event.
they thought it was just a fluke.
that it was only because Russia was Russia.
That is about how they saw it.
The story attributed to Knox. that “even if Japan caused trouble. it would take at most three months.” sounded fairly credible.
Abiru.
So even Churchill never imagined that the Prince of Wales and Repulse. the pride of the Royal Navy. would be sunk in the Battle of the Malaya coast in December 1941.
He was shocked.
Takayama.
And they had never imagined that battleships could be sunk by aircraft.
But once you opened the lid. that war turned out not to be about defeating Japan. but about having everything done to them instead.
So when it came to what to do with Japan after the war. it was the same as what Rome did to Carthage.
The dismantling of a state.
There is the word “montage” in photo editing.
It means assembling pieces to create something.
Add “de” to it and you get “demontage.”
It means dismantling.
In short. dismantle Japan’s industrial power.
They did it to Germany too.
They took industrial regions from Alsace-Lorraine all the way to the Ruhr.
In Japan’s case. under the guidance of Edwin Pauley of the reparations mission. they abolished the aircraft industry entirely.
And for shipbuilding. steelmaking. and aluminum refining. they would dismantle factories and dump them into the sea. or carry them out to Korea and China.
It was truly the dismantling of industrial Japan.
In the future. they even planned to dismantle light industry as well. reducing Japan to the level of merely being able to make pots and pans.
Abiru.
The reason Japan still cannot properly possess its own domestically produced fighter aircraft is that the aircraft industry was thoroughly dismantled.
Takayama.
That impact was enormous.
