＞ * These liberal hypocrites, whose support base lies in the ignorant proletariat, not only engaged in the self-serving practice of "Japan Bashing," but also committed the folly of aligning with and elevating the atrocious Chinese Communist Party—whose total defeat was already sealed with the end of the Cold War—as a "Strategic Partner."

＞ * Yukichi Fukuzawa, an enlightening thinker representing modern Japan, lambasted Japanese people who blindly obeyed their superiors' absurd ideas and died in vain as "Prentice-boy Gon-suke," criticized the Confucianism blindly believed by the Chinese and Koreans, and advocated "leaving Asia and joining Europe" (Datsu-A Nyu-O) as well as "independence and self-respect" (Dokuritsu Jison).

＞ * Whom Yukichi Fukuzawa lambasted as "Prentice-boy Gon-suke" was the ignorant proletariat steeped in a "slave mentality"—those who blindly obeyed superiors with absurd ideas, offered their labor unlimitedly for minimum subsistence wages, and spent their lives merely eating, sleeping, and reproducing, entirely alienated from "independence and self-respect."
