(9,958 posts)It's titled, "Class, Race, and Conspiracy: A Radical Analysis of the Japanese Internment During World War Two."
I use four hypotheses- racial antipathy, revenge, military necessity, and economics- to determine why the Japanese were interned. Underlying this is an examination of conspiracy theories and how government can be the purveyor of false narratives to create acceptance from the mass public for unconstitutional actions that serve corporate interests.
Basically, in a game between government, corporations, and the mass public, the government and corporations are able to collude secretly, using the ability to rationalize what the mass public believes to provide a pretext for an action that goes against agreed rules, in order for corporations (upon which the government relies) to achieve an objective monetary incentive.
When examining the military necessity hypothesis, the government's story is riddled with omissions and deceptions. It's not unlike the run-up to the Iraq war after 9/11.
