Truly the Allies should have just taken a million casualties while killing many, many more Japanese than the bombs did in the invasion.

I am smart and have read thousands of pages of commentary and history on this exact historical situation to form my opinion.

No, that's quite literally not true.

I am smart

Sure, whatever you say

Your insight, breadth of knowledge, and reading comprehension astound.

Murder of civilians and collective punishment, lmao.

Sure fam, that's why you could figure out why a nation "on the verge of surrender" tried to call America's bluff on the second bomb, even though they were given a three day gap to come to terms with reality, and even then they still had an attempted military coup to prevent the "loss of honor."

Must be because they cared so much about the Soviet advance and the near total destruction of their navy and air force, right? Can't possibly be that a small group of revisionist academics were wrong about one analysis meant more to discourage further atomic bomb usage than reaching an honest conclusion.

That or you just think Allied soldiers were subhumans whose lives mattered less than those of a determined and almost entirely fascist population.

All your questions are answered in the video I linked. Watch it, and don't bother me with your genocidal fantasies, please.

Nah. I'm fully aware of the arguments behind the revisionist coward's mindset, and I've read the primaries.

If the fascists come for you in your lifetime, feel free to refuse to shoot back because it's collectively punishing them. They're just following orders!
