Showing us that attempting to bomb a civilian population into submission doesn’t work. The only people who think it will work this time do it on the premise that “those people” are fundamentally weaker. You know - racists.
Japan was already going to surrender. Their final decision came down more to the Soviets opening up a second front on top of the overall progress of the US in its island hopping campaign and defeat of the IJN than the use of Nuclear bombs.
That is far from agreed upon. A popular view is that neither the atomic bomb alone, nor the Soviet invasion of Manchuria alone, would have caused Japan to surrender when it did.
Are you calling the English and Americans racists now because they did this tactic on a much larger scale during this war? People are still dying from American warheads in Germany.

That’s part of it, but it’s also just a fundamental misconception it seems everyone shares, that making life horrible will force surrender.
And in fairness, there is a level of destruction that will do that - ask Japan about that.

When the Allieds flattened numerous cities in Germany they already knew this. They just did it because they were pissed off.
