Last time people fell for this sort of pseudo-heroic revisionism, some incidental little club that called themselves the National Socialists were the result. That lead to a local spat since dubbed "WW2".

For fuck's sake, is it possible to combine such an overwhelming sense of personality-entitlement, opinionated arrogance and appalling ignorance any more pathetically than with this kind of wishful-feudalism?

Reality and history are not computer games, you moron.

and western pop culture has influenced in your country doesn't mean your country is "westernized". i can name few asian countries that are really westernized countries like hong kong, singapore etc (having western name, having western language as their official ones etc). i call that a westernization. pop culture is only hobby. and we don't even have western songs in our top music charts. IMO japan is one of the countries that keep a lot of it's culture...

@AlHajjMalik01 what westernization? pop-culture? american pop culture is everywhere even in middle east (where america is war at. TODAY)

Nationalism MUST return to the western world, or we shall surely perish.

Rise up my European kinsmen, vikings, holy knights, strike back at the beast of internationalism that seeks to enslave us all. Our leaders are leading us to a multicultural, consumerist hell-world, we only have a few decades left to resist. Fight back!

@AlHajjMalik01 - well that's the problem, we are still largely infected by those who wouldn't listen to that still to this day.

I have to respect Mishima-san. He was willing to die for his ideology. He was right about the "Westernization" of Asia (specifically Japan). He not only warned Japan, but the world. No one at that time wanted to listen. I bet everyone wishes they would've listened to him now....

his butt buddy messed up cutting his head off.

i dont care if he was homosexual or not. he was a great person and his fight against americanization of the planet was so right as we can see nowadays. everywhere you turn is nothing but glittering trash, useless. HAIL MISHIMA !
