Justin "I'm clueless" Bieber visited Yasukuni shrine which holds the remains of 14 Class A war criminals from World War II and thought the whole thing was just fantastic. Justin Bieber is a complete moron for failing to understand what Yasukuni shrine stands for and what it promotes. A revised history of the Second World War and a complete white wash of the crimes competed by the Japanese Imperial army during that awful conflict.
The troubled Canadian pop singer posted a snap of himself at Yasakuni shrine on his Instagram account—tweeting the link to his 51 million Twitter followers—with the message “Thank you for your blessings”.The shrine is seen across Asia as a symbol of Japan’s perceived lack of penitence for its imperialist past.
A storm erupted across social media after the posting, with fans lambasting the 20-year-old star for historical ignorance, and even China’s foreign ministry suggesting the young singer should educate himself on the issue.
As the story gained traction and was picked up by mainstream media, the picture was removed. Around 13 hours after the original tweet, Bieber issued a mea culpa on his Instagram feed.
