      I actually have no idea which mass murder the last panel is talking about. It could be many; there’s the residential schools, the monarchy, all the Ukrainian fascists, most of our prime ministers too.

      You were probably joking but I’ll answer sincerely any way; I’ve never really heard much about Hirohito, in school, and just around in general. I’m sure some other Canadians on here can answer a lot better than I can.

        I was joking. I am guessing that Canada’s compulsory education’s coverage of the Third Reich is mediocre at best, and if that’s the case then there’s no way that its coverage of the Empire of Japan could be any better. It’s also still arguable that Chancellor Adolf Schicklgruber caused more deaths than Emperor Hirohito, but the estimates are variable.

        Personally, I think that pinning a systemic mass murder on any particular individual is the wrong approach to take anyway. Aside from the inaccurate implication that the politician micromanaged every aspect of the massacre, it leaves a great deal of other contributors blameless through omission, and it overlooks the benefits that the ruling classes (or the petite‐bourgeoisie) get from the destruction.
