Autistic Japanese Nationalist stabs socialist live on air

BURY IT DEEP YAMAGUCHI

>might have prevent japan going red
Yeah, that was so likely

This gif speaks to me in various ways

BURY IT DEEP YAMAGUCHI

Local Maoist not so tough after getting fucking stabbed

The funny thing is even Jap communists hated him for being too pro-China

he was hot as fuck and a nice, intelligent person. a true world citizen. i can't believe how retarded his end game was, though.

...

I might be retarded but this doesn't look right

>japanese nationalist
>a world citizen

Uhum.

if you watch the whole video it makes sense

he stabbed first to the side, got pulled around by security, and then went back in for the kill

More than one blow delivered

>might have prevent japan going red
Don't be retarded

he had lots of books and visited usa

he just wanted to die beautifully, it's widely accepted he had no hopes of accomplishing his goals

yet he still fucked that up

Well I imagine killing yourself is pretty hard, and killing a friend by cutting his fucking head off is even harder so I'll give them a pass

It's also pretty clear from his books that he was a supporter of Japanese nationalism and hated the "Pacifist constitution". Saying the two are mutually exclusive is basically just revisionism to make him more palatable to liberals.

He was a suicidal guy though, he planned this shit for a year and prepared a death poem; it's actually kind of sad he wasted his life on a dead ideology, got made fun of by the ones he idolized (soliders) and then topped himself isn't it?

Yeah, it's sad, but it's not like he didn't actually believe in Japanese nationalism. I mean, the guy founded a Jap Nationalist terrorist group that later carried out at least one attack. If he was just pretending to be able to have a beautiful death, he was really good at the act.

I think it was more like he inadvertently drew people into it, like a reverse Hitler

It looks like there's a wave of energy coming off them right as they collide. Was there a battle too fast for the human eye to see?

It wasn't inadvertent; founding the paramilitary was part of the scheme to get into the military base, his paramilitary was granted the rights to train with the JSDF.

Also, Mishima has a lot of reasons to be a hardcore Japanese nationalist, his little sister died during the typhus epidemic at the end of the war, and he was declared unfit for service with the IJA; he felt that the end of the war denied him a death as a martyr for Japan.

>founding the paramilitary was part of the scheme to get into the military base
He already got basic training and his fanclub Tatenokai was specifically for people who couldn't make it, and even then he viewed the Emperor as an abstract which would never gain much traction in the climate of nationalism he was in, also he frequented gay bars whether for research or pleasure which no "mainstream" Jap nationalist would ever accept. Everything he did was to die like a fucking rockstar before that was even a meme

Tatenokai wasn't a fanclub, it was a fucking paramilitary, it kidnapped people.

Just because he wasn't an orthodox Japanese Nationalist doesn't mean he was just pretending to be one.

Tatenokai was a fucking meme of college kids pretending they were hardcore, every crime they committed was solved without violence simply because a relative of Mishima told them to cut that shit out

That doesn't change that Mishima was a Japanese Nationalist who really did believe in the cause. He wanted to be a martyr for that cause. Seriously, read his short story, "Patriotism"; the man idolized the far right in Japan, and blamed Hirohito for losing the war.

Yeah, exactly, he wanted to be a martyr, that's it. He had absolutely no chance of success and knew it, it was all for his grand spectacle suicide because he couldn't live in that world as far as he was concerned

Also, when Mishima & co. had their incident, they did actually harm some of the JSDF officers with their swords.

But he wanted to be a martyr for something. You can't be a martyr without a cause, and that cause was Japanese nationalism, which he genuinely believed in.

And knew was dead, which is why he wanted to be dead too, I don't know why you're arguing with me tbqh

Because it sounded like you were saying that his actions had nothing to do with Japanese Nationalism, just with him wanting to die. It sounded like you were saying he just used Japanese nationalism as an excuse, or pretended to be one to be in a position to have his grand suicide.

the face is different and swapped on OP pict, idk why

I just find a bit of tragedy in a guy who was talented and bought into a dead ideology and died before his time I guess
