On Facebook, my old buddy Stonemirror was being a shit head and someone else decided to call me a weeaboo. I looked it up and was amused. For the record I don't want to be Japanese. I recognize that I can never be Japanese and that even if I committed Seppeku while shouting "Long Live the Emperor" I would not, even a little, be Japanese ( Read more... )

On Facebook, DRJ asked about our hatreds. Here are mine.

1. People who tell me it is alright when I am disciplining my children. I am their father, let me decide what is "alright" and what is not.
2. People who deny facts in order to pander to their prejudice.
3. People who do everything to get your attention, but don't have the depth to keep it.
4. People who ( Read more... )

A woman of race does not desire to be a “companion” or a “lover,” but a mother; and not the mother of one child, to serve as a toy and distraction, but of many: the instinct of a strong race speaks in the pride that large families inspire, in the feeling that barrenness is the hardest curse that can befall a woman and through her the race. Out of ( Read more... )

Mina: You need to let him know that you do have feelings and that you do care. Is that not the duty of a parent?

Wolfgang: The duty of a parent, your majesty, is to ensure that the child learns the skills necessary to survive on its own. To provide it with the strength to live on after the parent has died.

Let us spend a little time, then, considering just what the expressions jibun ga aru and jibun ga nai signify in Japanese. One thing, first of all, that is extremely clear is that the two expressions define the relation to his surroundings of the person of whom they are used. "Surroundings" here of course means not the natural scene but the human ( Read more... )

In short, the translation of freedom as jiyuu, though it would seem top have been inappropriate, was not so, since freedom never existed outside the world of faith. Though Marx, Nietzsche, and Freud destroyed the faith in freedom of the modern Western man, no new freedom was to be born in its place. The West as we see it today is caught in a morass ( Read more... )

I am only about a third into the book, but some things have caught my eye and I thought I would share them. Amae is a Japanese term which describes a "passive desire to be loved" and the "indulgence given to those so loved." If you imagine the child who desires to be loved by his or her parents and the parents who truly and deeply love their child ( Read more... )

Evidently, there is a movie out about the balloon bombs that Japan used in WWII. It is called "On Paper Wings." They resulted in the deaths of some people in Klamath Falls.

My Japanese language teacher mentioned that some group is showing the film Sunday, the 16th. I will not be going. Supposedly, the film maker brought some women who worked on the ( Read more... )

Baby Robot: From Japan, where else?

I believe that everyone on my friends list either knows enough about Evola to render this article redundant, or is uninterested in Evola and the World of Tradition. Regardless, here is "Julius Evola & Radical Traditionalism."

The Japanese have a word for it: heiwa-boke へいわぼけ: Stupid from too much peace...

I had no idea that there was so much of Norman Finkelstein on YouTube. Here is an older clip of a Question and Answer session in January of 2009. It's a half hour long, but enjoyable. The first few minutes where he explains Ghandi's views on non-violence (after pointing out that due to the massacre in Gaza, counseling the Palestinians toward non- ( Read more... )
