>>6411 Yes, from how I understand it, pre-modern homosexual behavior was completely different from what is pushed today. As you kind of hint at, it was never seen as any sort of "orientation", let alone a lifestyle. All of these degenerate modern ideas have appeared only in the West, and only in the lifetimes of our parents. When people try to normalize the deviance of today, they inevitably justify it with examples such as ancient practices, when in reality, as you read and we've discussed, they were completely different.

>>6406 >If both parties were agreeable, a period of intimacy could ensue. Patroclus and the young Achilles are an exemplary pairing of this type. There really is no evidence for Patroclus and Achillies having initimacy with each other most of this is claimed by some dumb historians who completely misunderstood brotherly love just like they did with Plato thinking he meant male romantic love was the greatest love to exist.

>>6406 >>6411 Repression of heterosexuality, even if done for a greater good like in the case of the samurai, will always lead to homosexuality. Many young men today turn to homosexuality and transsexuality, not because they prefer that over having a cute girlfriend, but simply because they cannot acquire one and most people do not desire to live a lifetime of celibacy. Faggotry is nearly always a choice, despite what the media tells you. That is why I believe men should be married off when they are around the age of 16 and whatever children arise from the first few years of that marriage should be raised by its grandparents or the community as a whole (since teenagers/young adults wouldn't be able to properly raise a child). That would be a much better system than the one we have now where lonely and sexually frustated men either turn to degeneracy or become shut-ins.

That would be a much better system than the one we have now where lonely and sexually frustated men either turn to degeneracy or become shut-ins. I agree, this would be a good system and would go a long way in restoring tight-knit community bonds, something that we are desperately lacking in our societies today. Regarding the rise in homosexuality, I think porn plays a massive role as well. Porn turns millions of people that would otherwise be normal into faggots into all sorts of deviancy and fetishes. Combine that with repression, feminism, hypergamy and the like and we have a perfect storm of degeneracy.

>>6593 >If you can't strive for fulfillment without complete mastery over carnal and depraved acts, you deserve slavery. A bit of quoting could help. What part is your post an answer to exactly?

>>6561 That was a fitting use of the Jin Roh soundtrack in the beginning there, it really did look like something out of that movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rkk4LFVJW_I Also, from looking at how some of those violent leftist student groups were acting there and on university campuses, it's no surprise Mishima was fearing that a Communist revolution was just around the corner in the late sixties. Bamboo spears, tunnels, fortresses? Really goes to show too how big of pussies leftists are today. Interesting stuff.

>>6593 Prostitution is far less dangerous to society than pornography and public lewdness.

>>6657 Prostitution is degenerate and leads to whore. You are an idiot thinking that it's not as bad as pornography.

>>6657 We want to prevent conditions in the first place that lead to girls having to sell their bodies for money, not to mention the fact that this can lead to all sorts of STDs.

>>6656 Japanese Communists and leftists in general have always been of a different breed than the ones in the rest of the world, perhaps because of their country's homogeneity, making their ideology center not on race but purely on practical issues. Hiyao Miyazaki is a good example of this, he used to be a Communist but based on his personality alone, he'd be considered a fascist by western leftists. >>6661 I agree with him. A generation of men that spends its time masturbating while looking at other people have sex will have far more issues than one which actually get to experience the act itself. Also, it's better to have a specific class of women who whore themselves out than for all women to essentially be whores, which is currently the case.

>>6703 I don't support prostitution, but if we were faced between allowing pornography and tolerating prostitution, I'd choose the latter any day. Porn is much more destructive due to what exactly its content is and how extreme it can get.

>>6703 >>6718 Prostitution is just as degenerate as whoring, you two do realize that Ancient Greece and Rome had a whoring problem due to prostitution right?

>>6721 >just as degenerate as whoring meant just as degenerate as porn

>>6721 >>6723 Like I said, I think both are degenerate and I would not support prostitution having any sort of place in a future fascist society or ethnostate, but I just can't help but see prostitution as less degenerate than pornography. My reasoning for this is that you can't just fuck a whore whenever you want, you literally have to physically go to one and pay, and as far as I know you've got to be an adult to hire a whore. Pornography, as it is now, is something that is freely available and easy to access by anyone at any time. I read an article somewhere once that is saying that nowadays the average age where children are exposed to hardcore pornography is around age ten. With hardcore pornography we obviously see many sick acts performed on women. Surely this must have some effects on young people who come across this. And when one begins to consume more and more porn, they move off of "normal" material and move onto more depraved and bizarre acts. Again, to be clear, prostitution should not be legalized or tolerated, but pornography is far more dangerous.

I've mentioned this book in the OP, but I will recommend it again because of how much I enjoyed it. Read Ivan Morris' The Nobility of Failure. The book is divided into ten chapters which give portraits of some famous Japanese heroes and figures, all of whom are notable for the fact that they did not have worldly success (at least in the long term), but that they failed. The final chapter was on Kamikaze pilots and those who manned suicide submarines, but all of the others are on figures such as Yamato Takeru, Minamoto no Yoshitstune, Kusunoki Masashige, Saigo Takamori and others. Even if it's not explicitly fascist, there's a lot to appreciate in their spirit, especially with how many of these men knew they were fighting for a lost cause, but still saw it through to the end because of the depth of their sincerity and belief in their cause. There are also extensive notes in the back. I don't have a PDF unfortunately, but if you have a way to read EPUBs, I recommend it: http://libgen.rs/book/index.php?md5=6C814328C4407F3536135089907D680C

>>6661 It really isn't. Pornography and public lewdness mass cucks and encourages autogynephilia and incites dysfunction in the men in the society. >>6664 >We want to prevent conditions in the first place that lead to girls having to sell their bodies for money Prostitution/being slut/either is just (attractive) female behavior when it doesn't have to worry about shaming from friends and family and immediate community combined with violence against them from their patriarchs/husbands. Enough women who aren't officially harlots finger dicks and suck them for favors/hiring/etc. ALL pretty enough women are either sluts until they're owned or are dysfunctional (homosexuals, cat ladies). >>6703 There is no example of the Actual Left openly calling for banning prostitution while openly also calling for banning porn, yoga pants, etc. Ever wonder about that? >>6721 And Athens was far more fertile a society than Sparta or today's.

>>6741 >. ALL pretty enough women are either sluts until they're owned This is why women should be married by their eighteenth birthday. Hitler saw these types of marriages as essential for combating prostitution in Mein Kampf.

>>6741 Athens didn't care for race you imbecile, Athens became a materialistic shithole that only cared for the gathering of resources, enough citizens to tax and labors. The real reason why Athens birthrates increased is because they had men marry women at a young age and same goes from Rome, but there was no idea for purebreds just breeding rabbits. Also when you prostitute you don't increase birthrates, you relieve sexual frustration. The women in Rome and Athens became disloyal because they have no reason to be married when they can make easy dough selling themselves off. So you literally have no idea of what you're talking about with this retarded logic.

A "Fertile society" cares nothing for race and breeding good genes for it only ends up becoming like modern shit-holes such as India Brazil, Mexico, etc. Birthrates ain't everything DNA is far more important along with offsprings having your good genes.

>>6761 A *healthy* fertile society does care about race. Quantity isn’t everything, but it does matter along with quality, especially since larger numbers of inferior enemies can trump quality if present in large enough numbers

>>6759 >Athens didn't care for race you imbecile They did actually going from Aristotle's comments on the north (Germania) and the south (Africa). They had higher standards for citizenship than the Roman Republic post-Social War. >Athens became a materialistic shithole that only cared for the gathering of resources, enough citizens to tax and labors. Still less of a simp land than Sparta. >The real reason why Athens birthrates increased is because they had men marry women at a young age and same goes from Rome, but there was no idea for purebreds just breeding rabbits. Athens had no significant foreign non-European population at any point when it was relevant. >Also when you prostitute you don't increase birthrates, you relieve sexual frustration. Uh yeah? A (attractive) prostitute serves the societal role of giving enough men hope that they have options to decent women. Part of what makes modern interaction of the sexes so dysfunctional is that men have neither confidence that they can ever own their women (fearing divorce, fearing getting locked up for "domestic abuse", her cucking him with her fitness trainer and taking what kids they have in the divorce) and assurance they can even have access to decent women. >The women in Rome and Athens became disloyal because they have no reason to be married when they can make easy dough selling themselves off. No. In Rome's case it was that the state during the empire could afford to indulge its women being the biggest pimp (giving resources and protection). No better than today. >So you literally have no idea of what you're talking about with this retarded logic. Whatever you say Victorian. It's not like actual traditional societies from Vedic India to Medieval Europe both had and notably enforced law against prostitution rather than accepting it and keeping it running smoothly. >>6761 Considering Europeans went thousands of years doing stuff keeping the birth levels high, I'd say tradition backs me. More importantly, a society/culture with low birth levels is a society that doesn't want to live anymore and has no actual hope for the future. You see it in Japan (the whole fixation on youth and cuteness for one), worship of children's entertainment like superheroes and Harry Potter.

>>6741 >There is no example of the Actual Left openly calling for banning prostitution while openly also calling for banning porn, yoga pants, etc. Ever wonder about that? What a retarded sentence, I have no idea what you are trying to say. Are you saying that the Left is not openly calling for the banning of both porn & prostitution or are you saying that the left is not calling for the banning of prostution but is calling for the banning of porn? Regardless of what you meant, I live in Europe and prostitution is legal in most countries here yet there are very few women who actually participate in the bussiness. There are however a lot of women who are whores without getting paid for it. As for the left, I would say that prostitution being legal hurts them more than it hurts us since there are many American men who go along with the feminist agenda in public in the hopes of getting laid whereas in the rest of the world, anyone with money can get laid so there's no reason for men to go along with it there. Access to prostitution makes men less desperate for sex, regardless of if they want to make use of the service or not, because they know that they can get it whenever they want, which affects their way of interacting with women.

>>6783 > They did actually going from Aristotle's comments on the north (Germania) and the south (Africa). They had higher standards for citizenship than the Roman Republic post-Social War. And overtime they cared less for racial breeding and more for income and citizens that could benefit the state for income. >Still less of a simp land than Sparta. >Simp Shut using this gay word you fucking faggot, Sparta actually fought for a cause while Athenians inbreded themselves. >Athens had no significant foreign non-European population at any point when it was relevant. >What is metics >What is slavery >Uh yeah?

Abortions are high because women want to have sex all the time just so they can be slurs. You literally aren't making a good point here. >No. In Rome's case it was that the state during the empire could afford to indulge its women being the biggest pimp No it was because Rome became degenerate and the foreigners of other lands influence the women to just become whores. >Whatever you say Victorian. It's not like actual traditional societies from Vedic India to Medieval Europe both had and notably enforced law against prostitution And all those European societies ended up becoming degenerate in the end, because they heavily depended on sinning for profit and power.

>>6664 >girls having to sell their bodies for money >having to Beyond the topic of the validity of prostitution, I think we can safely agree that a place where girls would be under such pressure would be a ruined one. Bit like Ukraine today. >>6703 >Japanese Communists and leftists in general have always been of a different breed than the ones in the rest of the world, perhaps because of their country's homogeneity, making their ideology center not on race but purely on practical issues. Hiyao Miyazaki is a good example of this, he used to be a Communist but based on his personality alone, he'd be considered a fascist by western leftists. Perhaps because they never had to experience anything close to real communism. So they only think about the watered down version and the absurd utopia that might sound good on paper if you never think twice about it. >>6661 You can't stop prostitution so it's better to try to elevate it and oversee it too. Comparing prostitution and pornography is also strange. On one side the sexual act is real and the overall experience could even be made educative and entertaining on a cultural level (think a sexual form of geishaism). On the other side, you only have destruction of the woman's nobility and neurosis. When was the last time you actually heard people talk about eroticism instead of only speaking of pornography, or porn as they usually say? >>6721 You could look into the causes and when this happened exactly. Also, was there really a issue there? >>6731 Failure is not the problem, you cannot always win. The point is to fight with all you have, as if you were being watched by Gods and really wanted to make their popcorn taste better.

>>6789 >What a retarded sentence, I have no idea what you are trying to say. Are you saying that the Left is not openly calling for the banning of both porn & prostitution or are you saying that the left is not calling for the banning of prostution but is calling for the banning of porn? It's not hard. The Left That Matters reliably opposes prostitution yet approves or enables OnlyFans and yoga pants. Their handlers are choosing the option bringing the most dysfunction. >>6794 >And overtime they cared less for racial breeding and more for income and citizens that could benefit the state for income. Athens never extended citizenship. >Shut using this gay word you fucking faggot, Sparta actually fought for a cause while Athenians inbreded themselves. Spartans had no problem accepting funds from Persia and commited demographic suicide from giving women too much while waging so many wars thinning the male cut of the population. >Athens had no significant foreign non-European population at any point when it was relevant. >What is metics Demonstrate Athens was filled with non-Europeans. The Greek city states didn't include other Greeks as citizens. >What is slavery Demonstrate that they had non-European slaves in significant numbers. >You're actually retarded thinking this. Not an argument. >What makes modern society so dysfunctional is that men and women today will have sex but have no obligation to get married with the person they had sex with or have children at all. "Marriage" is a meme absent of a guarentee men can own women. Men have no real point to bothering with marriage when they can never have any guarentee they can own a woman in an easy enough way. (Attractive) Women don't bother since they can easily get sex when they want it, get a baby when they want one, have the state backing them with welfare, divorce, police forces, etc. >Abortions are high because women want to have sex all the time just so they can be slurs. Women have always been eyeing men outside their immediate family. The key difference is that ClownWorld is arranged so that women get all they can get from a husband besides dick and babies (resources and protection) by just obeying Globohomo. And they don't need a husband for dick and babies. A (pretty) woman has no incentive to be loyal to a single man (cops will protect her from violence at the hands of a displeased man, her rootlessness cancels out shaming from her immediate community). And if she does want to, it's to a rockstar or professional criminal. Not some incel who sits in a cubicle then goes home to coom. >No it was because Rome became degenerate and the foreigners of other lands influence the women to just become whores. >We Wuz Kangz history Non-Europeans had not at all a major place in Roman society and its direction. Rome's problem of female behavior was there all the way in Augustus's time (hence him placing laws meant to regulate female behavior). >And all those European societies ended up becoming degenerate in the end, because they heavily depended on sinning for profit and power. >sinning Go away Christcuck.

>>6833 >Failure is not the problem, you cannot always win. The point is to fight with all you have, as if you were being watched by Gods and really wanted to make their popcorn taste better. Exactly. Them fighting with all they had even despite it being next to hopeless is very admirable. In that book the author contrasts the dichotomy between realism and sincerity in the Japanese tradition. The followers of "sincerity" are the failed heroes the book focuses on, and they are characterized by action over talk, selflessness and self-sacrifice, and uncompromising idealism. The realist on the other hand is more self-interested, pragmatic, and calculating. The realist of course has his place, since not everyone is animated by an uncompromising and self-sacrificing spirit, but I think it is the follower of sincerity who embodies more closely traditional masculine virtues. The emphasis on talk over action is characteristically fascistic as well. "Runaway Horses" is a perfect example of this attitude. Isao is the personification of action, refusing to compromise or dilute his beliefs

>>6844 >Athens never extended citizenship. Athens did extend citizenship certain foreigners they considered useful idiots were the exceptions. >Spartans had no problem accepting funds from Persia and commited demographic suicide from giving women too much while waging so many wars thinning the male cut of the population. The Athenians are the same case, they relied too heavily on slavery and non Athenian populations to fight their wars and fuel their economies. Not only that Athens was completely reliant on trading and failed to do a form of self-reliance. >Demonstrate Athens was filled with non-Europeans. The Greek city states didn't include other Greeks as citizens. The Athenians had more non citizens than they They had citizens. This the same case for Sparta as. Which is why they faced a demographic issue. The non citizens are slaves from the trading in the levantine, while the metics were from mostly from Anatolian who had features that would be considered non-Greek. >Rome's problem of female behavior was there all the way in Augustus's time Rome's female issues has been a thing since Caesar became a politician.

Also Athens ended up becoming very materialist and sacrificed their monarchy for (((democracy))) and ended up becoming a oligarchy Athens became a powerful state alright, but one that was heavily depended on money and trading.

Either a minority of women are whores or all (pretty) women are whores. There are no other options across history.

Pic related are two books on Mishima that I enjoyed reading. I don't think either of them can be found online, unfortunately, but I found them to be worthwhile. The first one dwells a lot on Mishima and his nihilism, and how it is pervasive through his works, and especially with his links to Nietzsche. The second one is a newer book that talks about Mishima's aesthetics of beauty and violence, drawing from some never-before-translated essays along with his written works. I was surprised to learn that the sort of morbid ideas that Mishima's famous for were not as uncommon as one would think. For example Motojirō Kajii had a poem that read: >There are corpses buried beneath the cherry trees! >There must be. How else could the blossoms be so beautiful? Around the time he was growing up, this attitude was particularly intense in society, it seems, as schools, popular songs, films and the like all extolled the virtues of dying young and "falling like cherry blossoms for the emperor". Likewise we can read stuff about Kamikaze pilots eagerly volunteering themselves for suicide missions and thanking their commanders with tears in their eyes for choosing them in books like "The Nobility of Failure" which I have already recommended ITT. Another author quoted in this book, Hashikawa Bunzō is quoted as saying that during the war years it felt as if "the gods had come to down to earth as tribal gods to fight" and that "We knew we were going to die young". The passage even ends with talk of how even the smashing of a boy's skull by a grenade which splatters his blood all over a summer garden in those would have had a "self-evident beauty" about it. In light of this Mishima seems like a particularly extreme example who persisted in his attitudes beyond the war. >>8276 Videos of Japanese airplanes in WWII always have a nice comfy vibe to them.

>>8278 >eagerly volunteering themselves for suicide missions At least they weren't brainwashed tbh.

>>8289 Here are some excerpts from the book I was referencing (>>6731): Despite the highly charged nature of their predicament, the suicide pilots never (except in certain special situations that will shortly be described) indulged in displays of hysteria or dramatics, and it was widely recognized that from the inception of kamikaze units in 1944 theirs was the highest morale in the Japa­nese armed forces. [10.141] Even pilots who had the minimum experience were full of enthusiasm as they took off on their one-way mis­sions; and this joyful approach made up for their lack of training. In the descriptions of daily life in the kamikaze bases and in the personal writings of the pilots there is rarely a trace of gloom or pessimism; and on the day of their departure, as they prepared to soar up like Icarus on his flight towards the sun, their usual mood was one of eagerness and exaltation that seems to have voided all instinct for survival. [10.142] In a typical photograph of a kamikaze fighter tightening the Rising Sun hachimaki round the helmet of a fellow pilot who is about to sortie, the young man is smiling with relaxed self-possession as if he and his companion were getting ready for a wedding ceremony or a graduation. Lieutenant Suga Yoshimune of the True Spirit Special Attack Unit describes his pride at being given a chance to prove his sincerity by defending Japan with this “final trump card.” [10.143] “Life has now become a true pleasure for me,” he says. “How genial is the springtime for us who belong to a [Special Attack] unit—so much warmer and softer than in the sad world outside!” -------------------------- 'The field was pock-marked with bomb holes, but following my hand signals, the planes were skilfully taxied to their starting places without mishap. As I waved my right hand in the signal for taking off, Lieutenant Nakano raised himself in the cockpit and shouted, “Com­mander Nakajima! Commander Nakajima!”' 'Fearing that something had gone wrong, I ran to the side of his plane to learn what troubled him. His face was wreathed in smiles as he called, “Thank you, Commander. Thank you very much....” Realizing that enemy raiders might appear at any moment and that there was not an instant to lose, I wordlessly gave the signal for take-off.' Nakano’s plane started forward with a roar. As the second plane passed in front of me the engine was revved down momentarily as the pilot screamed, “Commander! Commander!” I flagged him on with a vigorous wave of my arm, but through the din came back his shrieked farewell: “Thank you for choosing me!” I pretended not to hear these messages, but they tore at my heart. The scene repeated itself as each smiling pilot passed my position and I waved on the next: No. 3... No. 4... No. 5—each did the same.... [10.75]

>>8278 >Videos of Japanese airplanes in WWII always have a nice comfy vibe to them. It seems like a beautiful way to die, with the vast blue sky being the last thing you see. They remind me of this scene from Porco Rosso. https://youtu.be/tc1dvo7EBzg >>8299 The simple joys of life, such as looking at a beautiful flower or reading a good poem, are easier to appreciate when you know you don't have a lot of time left on this earth. Maybe that is why samurai had an appreciation for the arts as well, since they lived with the idea that every day could be their last. The reason why people today feel so restless is because they assume that they are able to live up to 100 (assuming they die of natural causes), which feels like an eternity and there is no joy in being 'stuck' for so long in this world.

>>8319 >It seems like a beautiful way to die, with the vast blue sky being the last thing you see. Yes, I agree. Also, that anime looks like a good one, I will have to check it out here soon. I have seen far too little Miyazaki. Really only seen Mononoke Hime and Spirited Away iirc. >Maybe that is why samurai had an appreciation for the arts as well, since they lived with the idea that every day could be their last. Exactly. Like it's said in the Hagakure, it's recommended that the samurai should rehearse his death every morning and night, living as if already dead. Even if they never read Jocho's words, I'm sure that many samurai took this idea quite seriously, especially since Japanese culture traditionally is really imbued with the idea of impermanence with the ideas of mono no aware and related symbols such as cherry blossoms, the "utsusemi no yo" or the fragile cicada-shell like world. I'm not sure if I can fully grasp their attitude towards death, though reading about stuff like what happened in Saipan is macabre, but also fascinating in a way. Quote from same book: >It was not only pilots, or even military men, who responded with suicidal desperation to the agonizing course of events. In battle after battle, from the Aleutians to Guadalcanal, Japanese soldiers avoided surrender by participating in fierce suicide at­tacks, which the Americans described as “banzai charges.” Proba­bly the most fearsome scenes of all took place on the island of Saipan in July 1944. When organized military resistance became impossible, some three thousand Japanese soldiers, most of them armed with nothing but bayonets or sticks, charged into the concentrated machine-gun fire of the American marines and were mown down to the last man. [10.82] At times the Japanese corpses were piled so high that the marines had to move their machine-gun emplacements into an open line of fire as new waves surged forward. A particularly macabre note was provided by a contin­gent of wounded soldiers, many of them swathed in bandages and leaning on the shoulders of their comrades, who staggered out of the hospitals and infirmaries to take part in the last suicide attack. Subsequently entire units of Japanese soldiers knelt down in rows to be decapitated by their commanding officers, who then in turn committed harakiri; hundreds of other soldiers shot themselves through the head or, more frequently, exploded themselves with hand-grenades. As the marines advanced through the blood-drenched island, they witnessed one mass sui­cide after another, culminating in the terrible last scene when hundreds of Japanese civilian inhabitants, including large num­bers of women with children in their arms, hurled themselves off the cliffs or rushed out of caves by the sea and drowned them­selves rather than risk the indignity of capture. The self-slaughter, probably the ghastliest in world history since the mass suicide of the Jews in Masada, continued for three days and nights; when finally Admiral Spruance was able to announce that the island was “secure,” less than one thousand Japanese survived from the original thirty-two thousand, and hardly a single soldier remained to be taken prisoner. >The reason why people today feel so restless is because they assume that they are able to live up to 100 (assuming they die of natural causes), which feels like an eternity and there is no joy in being 'stuck' for so long in this world. And also we live in a time where even though the average life-expectancy has started to go up, it's also arguably the most boring and soulless period of human history. Mishima talks about this in several interviews and writings of his, and I think he's right. My Romanticism kicks in strong when I think of these things.

>>8334 > I have seen far too little Miyazaki. Really only seen Mononoke Hime and Spirited Away iirc. I would say Mononoke Hime is his best film. Nausicaa and Totoro are also very good films that showcase the importance of living in harmony with nature and its connection to Japanese spirituality. Nausicaa is very similar to Mononoke Hime in terms of plot and its message so I'm sure you'd like it if you liked the other one. I remember reading somewhere that directing Nausicaa is the reason why Miyazaki quit being a Communist, I wonder if it made him realize the destructive effects of the importance that Communism placed on industrial growth. Isao Takahata's films are also worth watching (vid related), he's sadly overshadowed by Miyazaki most of the time. https://youtu.be/4vPeTSRd580 >>8473 I saw the link in another thread, interesting website. I wonder if Japs are less concious of tranny/faggotry indoctrination in media because their culture tends to have a milder attitude towards those things.

My only complaint (not that I'm surprised that this didn't happen) was that I wanted the the city wiped out by the end of it. It was full of whores, lepers and stronk women. I think the message was more on coexistence though. Grave of the Fireflies was great.

As someone who lives in Western-Europe himself, I would highly recommend you do not go to large cities but rather to smaller towns and the countryside if you do not want to get 'Paris Syndrome' when visiting. Pretty much all of the capital cities are globalist hellholes that even natives of their respective countries avoid. In my country, people from the capital might as well be from a different country than the rest of the population in terms of lifestyle and mindset.

>>9135 I'll definitely have to go back and take a look at more of the countryside sometime in the future. Since I was part of a group-tour, I was a bit more constrained with where we visited, but from what I saw of the countryside from the bus window it was very beautiful looking, not to mention the one or two more rural places we stopped at briefly for one reason or another. Since I was more in Central Europe, Berlin was as pozzed as it got for me. I can't even imagine what London or Paris are like. One day I do want to take a "White Genocide tour" of Europe and visit London, Paris, Stockholm, Brussels and a few other places just to get a feel for how bad it really is. You can see a hundred videos, but there's nothing like getting a grasp on it personally.

>>9122 That's a fair point. I believe they're way beyond the point of equilibrium. But they also furiously dove into high technology and large scale urbanization so there's probably an eco-fascist critic of the whole of the modern Japanese society today, one which seems to have reached a good balance between tradition and technology not so long ago (we're already talking about the 60-70s), but feel like us, dragged by the decadent (((western model))). This type of fishing would not be such a problem if their population was 10 or 50 times smaller. >>9124 >Japan Stay out of the main cities then. Go to them as a tourist for the first times and eventually, at later times, to meet people at a rallying point where there are more services. Sadly, many Japanese feel like they have to stick to stereotypes and even anime ones to please the tourists. Outside of these sprawling urban centers, life is far more classical and well paced. Don't be shocked by their coldness. They have complex social codes and these are to be understood and respected. They actually learn to like you and mutual respect grows. Don't be invasive. There is like an odd feeling of showing that you're not driven by your western ego but that on the contrary you want to leave the place as it was before you came. You're just a leaf in the wind. You must behave like an aristocrat, well mannered, silent, speaking only when necessary. >Berlin It was literally rebuilt from naught. It's a den of leftism and new urbanization. It's very cold too. Now, there's a city I'm sure would have been beautiful and vibrant but it ended up in flames.

>>9152 >This type of fishing would not be such a problem if their population was 10 or 50 times smaller. That's what I was thinking. As usual, excess population is the problem. >Berlin If only I could have seen Berlin in the days of the Third Reich. Now that looked truly beautiful and still had a unique national character to it. Of course things such as the Brandenburg Gate or Reichstag were neat to see in person, but by and large it was just another globohomo hellscape riddled with grafitti and endless construction projects. The one area where I stayed was particularly bad. There were so many Arabs, Turks, women in hijabs, people babbling in some guttural languages on the U-Bahn, etc.

>>9135 *myself >>9143 >I can't even imagine what London or Paris are like I have been in London before. I have also been near Paris but never in the actual centre of the city but basically half of the people I saw on the outskirts of the city were black and it all looked very depressing and gloomy to me. As for London, I also went on a somewhat restricted tour so I have never been in the worst parts of the city I suppose but the parts that I saw looked more like America than what you'd expect of an European city. I visited the place a year or two before the wave of terrorist attacks around 2016 started.
