I cannot believe you would seriously ask such a question, but the answer is "of course not".

I can't speak for the article I linked to - it might have been copied from somewhere, though I hadn't seen it before if so, and I believe that blog to be pretty reliable. But my comment was composed on the spot. I am not sure if being mistaken for professionally written propaganda is a compliment or not - I guess so? I was just trying to add an alternative perspective, and not even a very controversial one.

Just out of interest, what exactly did I say to make you ask such a thing?

very proper and well written, with detached and unspecific wording. a general sense of disapproval towards americans and japanese. an implication that people have a misunderstanding of the world in terms of governance and foreign perception (which i agree with.)

you could have used that post body as a reply to many things, it's very generic.

you can get mad mad at me if you want; i wasn't trying to piss you off, i wanted to see what would happen if i asked up front.
