I've always liked that speech since I read it. This passage is very poignant. It works in reverse as well, both lead to a downwards spiral.
"Looking back over the past years of Germany’s decline, we come to the frightening, nearly terrifying, conclusion that the less German men were willing to act as men in public life, the more women succumbed to the temptation to fill the role of the man. The feminization of men always leads to the masculinization of women. An age in which all great idea of virtue, of steadfastness, of hardness, and determination have been forgotten should not be surprised that the man gradually loses his leading role in life and politics and government to the woman."
Yes "capitalism" is simply trade. That's why you can never actually get rid of it. You can only limit what is acceptable to trade or not. The most adherent "free market" ones would say you should be able to trade nuclear weapons, prostitution, slavery, etc.
The only difference is if it's the people able to participate in such trading, or if only the government is allowed to.
And here Mishima is just talking about the bastardization of language and loss of tradition, which has been going on in English for a long time now. If you check the Websters 1828 dictionary on some terms its like we are speaking two different languages.
I would suggest Hakumei and Mikochi. It's a lighthearted series about some small fantasy fairy people. I would say Inuyasha, but that has some nudity that may not be acceptable. Maybe Cardcaptor Sakura. I'm not sure what would be a good fit that has minor horror/scary stuff that isn't too bad, maybe Dark Gathering.
If you want to try a paid platform I suggest boosty. It's a Russian site so it's not as easy to actually pay, but I think they are less ban happy than places like Patreon and not hard to get accepted like Subscribestar.
The biggest differences between race is in the brain. Language is how you compare and express things, so of course your brain determines what kind of language you use. The other factors would be much more minor in comparison.
Hitler goes over what propaganda is quite well. It is simply a method in which you can guide public opinion, that is nothing to say of if its results are positive or negative. You can use a gun for the sake of good or evil, that does not mean the gun itself is good or evil. Propaganda is for normies.
The biggest difference between if an indie game succeeds or fails is based on marketing. Marketing is a sales multiplier. If your game is a 100/100 but it's shown to 0 people then you earn 0 dollars, but if a game worth 10/100 is shown to hundreds of thousands then it makes much more just by volume of impressionable people willing to waste their money.
Who controls the marketing of indie games? Mostly the institutions. People who can get funding for ads. People who can get articles written about it. Streamers who on a whole are not trying to be political so they end up being center-left to go with the path of least resistance. And people who can get good marketing from social media posts.
Personally I would just ignore anything that shows clear signs of infection. Female girlboss protagonist, ugly designs, forced diversity, etc. That's all you really can do.
Yeah having a single story written by a single author, maybe with one doing the writing and another doing the art with assistants, makes a so much more cohesive story.
As opposed to having writers and artists passing things off to one another all the time, without a clear plan. Some manga do go on forever, but you can still tell it's the same creators working on it, as opposed to a totally new team every few years.
Yep, they have to push the envelope in "safe" ways. Undermine the family by making the father look like a dumb idiot. Empower women and make them better. Include "diversity" at the expense of better options. Normalizing things like divorce. The playbook has always been the same, they were just better at disguising and hiding it.
Even the guys like Weinstein who wanted to fuck hot women gave them good positions for it. They also want to make money, so they have to make what people want to watch, until they can find better sources of money without having to rely on an audience supporting them.
Also including the rural purge in the 70's which led to them stopping making stuff for rural Americans like Beverly Hillbillies, Lassie or cowboy shows.
Yeah to them it's just about different appearances. Elves are just people with pointy ears, orcs are just people with green skin, etc. There is no longer any real "diversity" just different coats of paint on the same boring stories.
People often forget that "discriminate" simply means to tell the difference between things. Discriminating between apples and oranges isn't bad. They don't want you to recognize the truth, and would rather you blindly "treat everybody the same" while they treat you like an enemy and a target.
But freedom of association was really destroyed with the civil rights act. Now you can't have a company, space, etc, with only white men.
Yeah this guy has been going through the whole thing and finding the worst translation differences. It's a classic case of boring writer trying to "punch up" the script by adding awful jokes. I would say it's not even worth it, other than as an exercise to see how bad it is.
Part of the "Ukraine project" is to depopulate a lot of areas there to create a "2nd homeland" as well. One much further away from hostile Arabs. But those are for the more long term minded, they will always steal easy money from taxpayers as long as they can too.
Trump won't rebel against his masters, he basically sold his family into that group too. They are probably worried about an "Augustus" coming up and being far more aggressive though.
Asha Logos talks about this occasionally. It really does tell you a lot about a persons character.
Many Japanese "queer" characters were always depicted as overly horny and disgusting, to the point that it's a running joke. The ones in One Piece being the best example.
The other type is cute boys that look like girls which are "otokonoko" which is what Vivian was referred to in the original JP version.
From this graph you can track the "middle class" to a single male earner of the family. After WWII it shifted towards a "dual income" majority.
