it's based regardless of which side does it. blessing weapons and soldiers before war is one of the oldest parts of civilized human history and probably pre-history.
Because its tradition that the navy be paranoid schizos about superstitions. Every time something bad happened to a a ship something was done wrong. Now a lot of times stuff is done wrong and nothing happens, but every time something dose happen. Something was done wrong.
Imagine not thinking picrel is the most turd world building ever constructed in the modern era. Just think about having the money, resources, and talent to build a beautiful cathedral just to plaster it with jingoist icons of israelite bolsheviks.
It's pretty simple, if you religion preaches war and violence then blessing weapons is fine, if your religion preaches peace and forgiveness then blessing weapons is blasphemy.
The only reason that's not based is because it's an unholy monument glorifying communism. It has nothing to do with Christianity and everything to do with glorifying the Russian state government, one of the most vile dens of satanic vermin to ever darken the earth.

Shut the fuck up asshole, most people actually choose their professions because they want to fulfill a sense of achievement which goes beyond mere physical reward.
You can offer all the money in the world to a kid but if he doesn't have any sort of belief in the cause to give him a spine to stand his ground the moment the bullets start flying he will drop his guns and flee.
>most people actually choose their professions because they want to fulfill a sense of achievement which goes beyond mere physical reward.
Most people absolutely seek cash money above all else. Most people climb the ladder for money. Most people worship money as God Almighty. Period. It is their source of whatever they call life. Spiritual satisfaction doesn't even come up as a priority for most people until they hit a dead end and start wondering, and even then their first inclination is to solve it with more cash money.
I have nothing to say about military wages. I don't even know what's going on ITT.

Shinto isn't really a religion at this point, it's more a bunch of traditional cultural practices.
They say in America people believe in God but don't go to church; in Japan it's the opposite, people don't really believe in kami, but they still go to shrines a few times a year, especially during hatsumode.
.t I practice Shinto as a way to learn more about Japan
A sort of ancient nature worship.
Pretty much everything has a kami.
Mt Fuji has a kami, your computer has a kami, trees have kami.
Then there's more major named kami like Inari and Amaterasu.
People go to shrines to pay their respect, buy lucky charms, and pray for things.
There's also traditional Shinto weddings which are cool
Yeah. I'm sure you could find a shrine dedicated to that kind of thing.
If not you could probably have a priest turn your tank into a sacred object.
A lot of people worship swords as at home shrines

shinto shrines are by far one of my favorite things about japan. sure the famous ones are cool and awesome, but there's something incredibly unique to japan when you're walking down a city street and find a tiny little shrine nuzzled between two buildings or set aside as part of a public park
it's machine spirit as applied to damn everything.
>it's machine spirit as applied to damn everything.
Also sort of.
"Kami" is not a term that translates nicely, as it's insular, novel, extremely broad and metaphysical to boot. It covers concepts that in English would include (among other things) "spirit", "deity" and "god" but the tl;dr is that for the kind of Kami being talked about here pretty much everything - including abstract things like "craftsmanship" and natural phenomenon like storms - possesses or can possess an immaterial and imperceptible spirit or spiritual nature to some degree that is mollfied by respect and angered by disrespect. To attempt to explain it more simply, that blessing is not for that discrete plane itself or even for that model of plane; the blessing is for everything that the plane represents - the object itself, the idea of the object, previous planes that served, etc.
The only reason Japan isn't a shithole is because it adopted Western values during the Meiji revolution. Before that it was a bunch of malnourished manlets who killed eachother with long obsolete weaponry. Christianity served Europe fine for centuries; the recent cultural decay is a result of giving women political power.

Just like pretty much everywhere else, including Europe.
>with long obsolete weaponry.
The Japs took to guns like fish to water. They got their hands on matchlocks in 1543, figured out how to mass produce them in 1544 and inside of ten years later they were the dominant weapon of war. They also did the same thing after Matthew "I fucking dare you to not let me in" Perry opened them up to the rest of the world.
>Christianity served Europe fine for centuries;
Christianity is a philosemitic tumor made palatable to the masses only via cribbing from the European weltanschauung, especially the Romans.
>the recent cultural decay is a result of giving women political power.
So what's your excuse for why so many other Christian nations - many of which are extremely observant, such as those in Africa and Latin America - are some of the world's premiere shitholes?
>such as those in Africa and Latin America
They were shitholes before Christianity. I'm not saying Christianity will turn your society into a utopia, I just don't think it's the source of institutional rot that you seem to think it is.

No, I said that Christianity served the Europeans fine, meaning it didn't work to their detriment. I also didn't say that lack of faith was killing Europe, I said that giving women political power was. While these two are arguably tied to one another, I didn't implicate a decline in religiosity itself in the decay of Europe.
>The only reason Japan isn't a shithole is because it adopted Western values during the Meiji revolution.
Jej.
every facet of modern day japan has been formed by the 3 bleachings.
1st contact with European traders leading to development of western studies and their counter school that wanted to return to "true" japan with the emperor at its center
2 Perry and the meji restoration forcing all aspects of the japanese nation trough western forms and molds
3 US occupation
Modern japan could not have come about without the at that time still Christian West
>1st contact with European traders leading to development of western studies and their counter school that wanted to return to "true" japan with the emperor at its center
The Emperor returning to the picture took centuries though. I'd say it was the Portuguese introducing firearms to Japan that was the foundational event allowing the land to be unified for the fist time in a very long time under one consolidated state, slowly stripping away the power and influence of the different clans. European guns provided a decisive edge to Nobunaga and later Tokugawa, who ended up setting up the Shogunate that would rule for over 2 centuries afterwards.
It's basically Pocahontas "spirit of the wind" shit. They think every object has a spirit and some spirits are powerful enough that it's worth gaining their favor through offerings of food and drink. It's a rather primitive religion that's survived for millennia because Japs are autistic.

Tell that to the national socialists of the 20th century. White middle class women in education was some of the highest demographics of party members for the german national socialist party and the british national socialist party. Both of which rejected the trajectory of where Europe was going in. Intrinsicaly "non-liberal" political forces relied on female support.

Ok so the main issue comes from globalised trade and industrialisation. This is not a Ted talking point and has been around since the 18th as well as 19th century. In Europe industrialisation started to expand from the city trade streets to the country side and beyond. Cities grew as well the free movement of people in general as the increased trading in goods and materials led to larger ports and more international visitstion of merchants or imported labor. Cities started to take the form of the modern cities we know today and agriculture in alot of European countries started to become more and more urbanised. The people that lived in small communities either found themselves being sucked into this new age of industrialisation or fled to other more remote communities before they too got consumed. The day and age where communities were tight knit, self reliant became company towns with nuclear familys that were insular from their neighbours and dissconected from their enviroment. Locals began to be absorbed by the county and the county by the capital. These same families now uprooted from communial community culture and local history then began moving from place to place, unable to plant roots for prolonged periods of time and beginning the decsent of a lack of identifying with the land and country they lived in. Imported labour began warping metropolitan culure into a homogenised boiling pot as a new age of industrialisy oligarchs replaced the aristocrats of old. Globalisation, and soon libertarianism as well as the ideas of egalitarianism followed. As industrialistaion shifted physical life to a "modern" world, these new political and social policies began "modern" thought. This is where you get into the idea of history being seperated from the old world and the new one, and fringe rigthoids like myself believe that the concept of a modern world is destroying the order of human life.

Participating in the local community, a connection/appreciation for the land and enviroment you live on along with a respect for the cultural order, usually represented in the form of castes. Also if we are talking full on occoult territory being connected to the metaphysical and spiritual. There is also the idea of Hermeticism, that human nature and the secrets to life have been lost to history progressing to a modern world. In order to rediscover this knowledge and utopian being of human nature we must move the pendulum the other direction to the traditional world instead. But I repeat that is the more occoult angle. Usually it is down to the individual to find such Hermetic truths as an understanding of the occult is reserved for the aristocratic caste so technically I shouldnt be telling you this and it is down to you to discover it.

Part of the reason I can't stand some of the more mainstream "white identitarian" groups out there. They tie themselves to this north american centrist idea of identity and culture while strangling themselves by embracing some flavor of Abrahamic faith, tone deaf to the negative impact that such religious sects have had on western history

>as well as the ideas of egalitarianism followed
christian universalism which is the genesis of modern egalitarianism (obviously) predates all of the socio-economic changes you speak of. BUT it was globalism and industrialization that allowed the previously present universalism in christianity to evolve into its logical endpoint. The ideal was clashing with the material. This is why Christianity was less gay before the modern period, the harsh material conditions limited its gayness. Now we have it so good (relatively) that all kinds of homosexualry is given space to grow even if it shouldn't. we are in many ways suffering from our own success. Hopefully we can find a nice synthesis without society collapsing first and regressing, I'm hopeful we can.
P.S. can someone photoshop a proper A2 upper onto barbies AR? ill give it a try myself but im not hopeful my skills will do it justice.

No that is not what I am saying and JQ is a pretty fucking basic take. Within the modern intellectual diaspora there were large amounts of secular israelites that contributed to modern world views regarding social or financial which are considered destructive and detrimental. But to say israelites are a monolithic cabal is stupid and deaf to the complex makeup of how metropolitan perspectives and globalised institutions form and coalesces. For each Secular israeli nihilist you had a dozen secular protestants libertarians, both demographics making up the vast majority of financial or industrial international conglomerates. There is an international coordinated effort to finalise the supremacy of the modern world for the next few centuries, but the enemy and takes many faces and forms.

Nah.
Finland is probably among the cleanest western countries, and similar to Japan in some ways, but Japanese culture/society just cares way more about cleanliness of public spaces. They have better cultural value system.
Though, Finland's mostly agnostic society with deeply rooted lutheran christian moral values is not bad compared to shinto. They just don't apply to care of public spaces / cleanliness specifically. Also Finland has way more crime than Japan. It's a very safe country but not Japan-safe.

>Shinto isn't really a religion at this point, it's more a bunch of traditional cultural practices.
Nope. Its a Folk Religion. Unlike Dogmatic religions (i.e. abrahamic ones) which are usually foreign to the people who adopted them and talk of the separation of the sacred/secular, folk religions are utterly tied to the culture of the people, where what is religious/secular is often blurred. This is not special to Japan as they got plenty of religious cues from Chinese Folk Religion as well, which communism couldn't even destroy as they dont know where the religion begins and where the secular culture ends.
>ch of traditional cultural practices.
Like othe other anon said, that's just folk religions. They amount to mundane rituals, the worldview and so on, that's why Japs declare they have "no religion" in survey's and still visit shrines and also why something codified and dogmatic, like the abrahamic religions were nearly unstoppable in their spread.
A practice is not a religion. Religions are organized and codified and follow centralized rules and ideas. Shinto has none of that. It's just "6 million (read as: infinite) gods" and "do these rituals, maybe sometimes".

>Religions are organized and codified and follow centralized rules and ideas.
That is only true for some sects of christianity. Christianity itself is the original LARP religion, as it was crafted to cover for the (israeli) organized crime gang that was the early church. This LARP gradually became more complex until it became the first early form of christianity.
I have studied the topic of religion from the paranormal/occult forces angle, and I have reached the conclusion that long ago, before the beginnings of written history, religion was a set of practices to communicate with supernatural entities. That means that a real religion has "magic", since these entities can fiddle with reality in ways that are difficult to understand, as the fox shrine guy earlier in the thread found out when he fucked around and found out. Modern mass religion is as fake as pro wrestling and christians that try to virtue signal their moral superiority because they are christians are just hardcore cringe.

I really wish it could have gone better, but that shit was making me spiral in an unhealthy way and I needed to get out. Still kinda regret it though because there were some cool times, but Jesus christ I missed regular interaction with people I could actually talk to beyond small talk.
Damn that's sucks mate, but at the very least you had a unique experience you can reflect on and learn from. Many people never even venture so far from home.
I had heard a lot of horror stories about ALT before going so that's why I avoided it. Sounds like its really hit or miss depending on where you end up. I really just got lucky that the animal shelter place I started out at was in Tokyo. If it had been in some more empty region I would've been trapped.
Thanks man, its not like I've given up on the place or anything, I had an amazing experience there in College and made a bro for life, plus I love the little yellow bastards in general, they have a special brand of autism that speaks to my heart.
Anyways, im probably going back with a friend in a few months, it turns out that having a well paying job and living with no expenses makes it easy to stack cash for your next adventure lol
Well they *have* been blessing new vehicles since time immemorial as an indigenous practice. It's not like some cargo cult version of Christian teachings practiced their friends to the north.
Japan is clean, has over 1000 years of history behind it and is soulful. Russia is fucking historyless commie cringe, so yes, it's okay when japan does it
I am a fedora wearing atheist but I always participate in the Shinto stuff when I visit. It's just a bit of harmless fun cultural immersion, nobody actually believes it does anything so why not do some cool stuff with it.

In a religious context are unholy weapons actually a thing? Like is there a mace out there that is said to have had the 12th prince of hell personally bestow its armpit sweat onto its handle or something or is it more of just a broad catergory of weapons or philosophys that are considered unholy?
Depends on the religion. IIRC Hinduism has a few legendary weapons associated with the Rakshasa, Norse myth had cursed weapons like Tyrfing which would always kill a man when drawn, and was fated to kill its wielder

On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. >I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to fight against it; the city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped. >Praise be to the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle. >The Lord is a warrior; The Lord is His name.
Please understand that everything in the bible and especially NT is a collection of stories from different people of vastly different time periods. The Bible is not the word of god nor an absolute command from Jesus Christ. It was touched up with modern ideals multiple times and constantly rewritten to include more hopeful and peaceful language when the zeitgeist called for it. You can find mostly older and more literal translations and scriptures that were written in time of war and catastrophe that support a brute and aggressive sentiment if you want.
Just stop looking at the bible as one book, with the same meaning across all its versions and translations and for the love of god - please don't take it word by word because that's not what the bible is. It's a historical context of vague stories and ideas and dreams written across hundreds - sometimes a thousand years apart.
It's worth knowing that the Israelites had not received full Revelation, but it was given to them piece by piece over time.
For an example that I hear sometimes, you know how atheists always say "well if you need the promise of heaven and threat of hell to be good, then you're not really good"? The thing is the Israelites didn't have that promise or threat. They believed what the Babylonians and their other neighbors did, there was a single afterlife that everyone went to regardless of what you did here. This place, which they called Seir, was a vast dark place presumed to be underground. It varies from culture to culture, but the general idea is that it's a place of ultimate despair where the dead lay around being depressed forever. It almost seems like an allegory for oblivion after death.
Then Jesus came, and told us that this wasn't true. That there actually was hope all this time. They weren't told probably because the idea was that they didn't need to know, just be a good person and you'll learn about what happens when it happens. But that wasn't working since people clearly were still doing evil without that knowledge.
I do agree it need be looked on as separate books, but also as one whole work if that makes sense. Keep in mind the context behind each book, but also how they fit together into a single narrative. In any case, one verse removed from it and divorced of all context or supporting verses, in it's own book and across the other books that came before and even after it, is a terrible way to judge it. Yet that's what people are doing, both Christian and not. It should never be said that there was no reason for priests and monks, they common man clearly is yet incapable of simply reading the fucking book and has to have a dedicated book man to tell them what's in it.
Because the Shinto priest is actually a priest, not a KGB kleptomaniac larping as an orthodox priest in a display of heretical blasphemy that would make the antichrist himself say "Steady on, now, that's going a bit far."
You dumb satanic worthless death worshipping nagger homosexual OP.
>heretical blasphemy that would make the antichrist himself say "Steady on, now, that's going a bit far."
This prove that so called "Christian" who support Russia don't even read fucking Bible. If you actually know about Christianity very well, you will realize that Putin and Russia exhibits so much Anti-christ behavior down to the letter. Also it's very interesting that Jesus think that hypocrite is far more vile and evil than unbelievers and sinners.
This.
Although to be fair the CIA still uses religious groups as covers to infiltrate spies even though its a big no no, and even when Presidents expressly forbids it.
?
If I ever leave for war or SHTF, I'm taking a bible and wearing a cross. If you're going to die, might as well die for something. Not be a homosexual dying for isreal and trannies.
Look if any churches in your area do anything for the feast day of Saint Hubertus the patron saint of hunters.
It's common for there to be a blessing for hunting dogs, rifles, horses ect.
In a religious context are unholy weapons actually a thing? Like is there a mace out there that is said to have had the 12th prince of hell personally bestow its armpit sweat onto its handle or something or is it more of just a broad catergory of weapons or philosophys that are considered unholy?
The main difference is that this isn't so much a religious ceremony, just as Japanese people go to shrines and temples to "pray" they do it just because they've always done it, they don't necessarily believe in it. Additionally, they'll do this sort of thing for fucking office printers and laptops.
In contrast r*ssians do it very religiously.
Minor difference of course being that unlike vatniks, Japan isn't illegally invading another country or planning to do so
People on this website would let a Japanese person shit in their mouths and happily chew and swallow it without a second thought, obviously you're not going to get an unbiased answer.
for christians it's hypocritical to bless weapons since the bible prohibits killing
just retcon it already, christianity shouldn't be a religion for pussies
>Blessed be the Lord my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight >O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us. Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.
King David thinks differently.
>If a thief be found breaking up, and be smitten that he die, there shall no blood be shed for him.
Bible indicates killing thieves is acceptable.
>Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
Jesus himself commanded his followers to sell the clothes off their back and buy swords.
>Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid wait for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt. Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.
But don't take anyone else's word for it, God has commanded the genocide of an entire people and everything they own, down to women, children, even infants still breast feeding, and the animals the people owned.
So where did you get the retarded idea that the Bible prohibits killing? Don't try to pretend you know what the Bible says when you have never read it. Far from prohibiting killing, it outright and in no uncertain terms demands it.
>crusades >various european holy wars >reconquista >cristero rebellion
There have been many, many conflicts considered to be just wars by the Church. Study more history and actually attend mass instead of larping for clout online. Christ be with you.
The Cristero War was in 1929, the Troubles (not entirely over religion but was part of it) occurred from the 60s to the 90s, the Balkanization of Yugoslavia had huge religious components to it, hell even the ongoing Azerbaijan-Armenian war has to do with faith
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiping_Rebellion
Funniest religious war in recent history just 100 years ago. Some guy failed his exams and while depressed he read a bible and decided he was the missing brother of Jesus and his goal was to convert China. While having a massive harem of 100 concubines.
10 million died
Russia does it at the behest of the false Russian Orthodoxy, hoping to curry enough favour with God to make it so that their shitboxes don't explode immediately upon contact.
Japan does it to appease the fuckin machine spirits, which is infinitely more based.
Yes. It is. Because Japan has a strong, good culture which appeals aesthetically. Aesthetics fill the empty moments, and that describes most of everyone's life. The deeper and purer the beauty of the aesthetic, the more warm and familiar it is. A handshake with history, casual and timeless, and friendly if you're that fortunate.
Japan is fortunate, but unfortunately is being invited and compelled to join other cultures in a "voluntary" decline, by the elements in those cultures responsible for it.
so air force officers get swords at a certain point for something
the unpopular ones get shitty swords like that, everybody else gets normal officer swords

Pretty much any polytheistic religion had a god / goddess of war.
Scandinavian countries unironically have both Pagan and Christian blessings/symbols/saying/etc. tied to their militaries.
The U.S. Navy has some pretty big Catholic-ish blessings on ships and aircraft.
Germany still uses the iron cross and various other symbols from the Teutonic Order.

The only reason that's not based is because it's an unholy monument glorifying communism. It has nothing to do with Christianity and everything to do with glorifying the Russian state government, one of the most vile dens of satanic vermin to ever darken the earth.

Shut the fuck up asshole, most people actually choose their professions because they want to fulfill a sense of achievement which goes beyond mere physical reward.
You can offer all the money in the world to a kid but if he doesn't have any sort of belief in the cause to give him a spine to stand his ground the moment the bullets start flying he will drop his guns and flee.
>most people actually choose their professions because they want to fulfill a sense of achievement which goes beyond mere physical reward.
Most people absolutely seek cash money above all else. Most people climb the ladder for money. Most people worship money as God Almighty. Period. It is their source of whatever they call life. Spiritual satisfaction doesn't even come up as a priority for most people until they hit a dead end and start wondering, and even then their first inclination is to solve it with more cash money.
I have nothing to say about military wages. I don't even know what's going on ITT.

It'd be more effective when Japan does it given what Shinto is
Shinto isn't really a religion at this point, it's more a bunch of traditional cultural practices.
They say in America people believe in God but don't go to church; in Japan it's the opposite, people don't really believe in kami, but they still go to shrines a few times a year, especially during hatsumode.
.t I practice Shinto as a way to learn more about Japan
What is Shinto exactly?
A sort of ancient nature worship.
Pretty much everything has a kami.
Mt Fuji has a kami, your computer has a kami, trees have kami.
Then there's more major named kami like Inari and Amaterasu.
People go to shrines to pay their respect, buy lucky charms, and pray for things.
There's also traditional Shinto weddings which are cool
it's machine spirit as applied to damn everything.
So, theoretically, that means I could pray, worship and provide offerings like sake to a tank or a plane right?
Yeah. I'm sure you could find a shrine dedicated to that kind of thing.
If not you could probably have a priest turn your tank into a sacred object.
A lot of people worship swords as at home shrines
Why not?
>pray, worship and provide offerings like sake to a tank or a plane right?
You can leave your prayers and offerings on ema
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ema_(Shinto)?useskin=vector
whats with all the Higurashi characters
what are the japs praying for
That's the not-Furude shrine in Shirakawa, the real life version of Hinamizawa.
I've been there and seen the anime offerings! It was pretty cool
Everyone on PrepHole should make the pilgrimage at least once.
The Girls and Panzer/ IJN Naka shrine is way more /k/ relevant.
>Please my slant-eyed god make my Youtube channel grow
Do the Japs really?
>have to make an offering to the gods
>offer drawing of a fat assed anime bitch on a slab of wood

Unless they had really shit taste
>when footfags keep coming to your shrine
>when footfags keep coming to your shrine

I once left an empty can of coffee in the woods at some fox shrine and my car's serpentine belt shat itself, a suspension bushing went and the clutch cable snapped over the span of like a week.

friendly remember to eat all your rice or the inari spirit will eat your asshole
shinto shrines are by far one of my favorite things about japan. sure the famous ones are cool and awesome, but there's something incredibly unique to japan when you're walking down a city street and find a tiny little shrine nuzzled between two buildings or set aside as part of a public park
If nothing else, it's a sign that somebody cares.
Tragedy of the Commons is less likely.
>eat all your rice or the inari spirit will eat your asshole
Fuck, and I liked rice 🙁
>Pretty much everything has a kami.
Sort of.
>it's machine spirit as applied to damn everything.
Also sort of.
"Kami" is not a term that translates nicely, as it's insular, novel, extremely broad and metaphysical to boot. It covers concepts that in English would include (among other things) "spirit", "deity" and "god" but the tl;dr is that for the kind of Kami being talked about here pretty much everything - including abstract things like "craftsmanship" and natural phenomenon like storms - possesses or can possess an immaterial and imperceptible spirit or spiritual nature to some degree that is mollfied by respect and angered by disrespect. To attempt to explain it more simply, that blessing is not for that discrete plane itself or even for that model of plane; the blessing is for everything that the plane represents - the object itself, the idea of the object, previous planes that served, etc.
>The only reason Japan isn't a shithole is because it adopted Western values during the Meiji revolution.
Jej.
>Before that it was a bunch of malnourished manlets who killed eachother
Just like pretty much everywhere else, including Europe.
>with long obsolete weaponry.
The Japs took to guns like fish to water. They got their hands on matchlocks in 1543, figured out how to mass produce them in 1544 and inside of ten years later they were the dominant weapon of war. They also did the same thing after Matthew "I fucking dare you to not let me in" Perry opened them up to the rest of the world.
>Christianity served Europe fine for centuries;
Christianity is a philosemitic tumor made palatable to the masses only via cribbing from the European weltanschauung, especially the Romans.
>the recent cultural decay is a result of giving women political power.
So what's your excuse for why so many other Christian nations - many of which are extremely observant, such as those in Africa and Latin America - are some of the world's premiere shitholes?
Matthew "Great Evil" Perry
Matthew Perry of the Black Ships
>such as those in Africa and Latin America
They were shitholes before Christianity. I'm not saying Christianity will turn your society into a utopia, I just don't think it's the source of institutional rot that you seem to think it is.
>I just don't think it's the source of institutional rot that you seem to think it is.
But you said in your post above that Christianity is responsible for good European institutions and that lack of faith was causing the collapse of society.
>But you said in your post above that Christianity is responsible for good European institutions and that lack of faith was causing the collapse of society.
No, I said that Christianity served the Europeans fine, meaning it didn't work to their detriment. I also didn't say that lack of faith was killing Europe, I said that giving women political power was. While these two are arguably tied to one another, I didn't implicate a decline in religiosity itself in the decay of Europe.
>The only reason Japan isn't a shithole is because it adopted Western values during the Meiji revolution.
Jej.
every facet of modern day japan has been formed by the 3 bleachings.
1st contact with European traders leading to development of western studies and their counter school that wanted to return to "true" japan with the emperor at its center
2 Perry and the meji restoration forcing all aspects of the japanese nation trough western forms and molds
3 US occupation
Modern japan could not have come about without the at that time still Christian West
This is a retarded argument. The "Christian West" was formed by it's contact with outside cultures just the same.
yes but I'm not arguing that the west is some pure cultural isolate
>1st contact with European traders leading to development of western studies and their counter school that wanted to return to "true" japan with the emperor at its center
The Emperor returning to the picture took centuries though. I'd say it was the Portuguese introducing firearms to Japan that was the foundational event allowing the land to be unified for the fist time in a very long time under one consolidated state, slowly stripping away the power and influence of the different clans. European guns provided a decisive edge to Nobunaga and later Tokugawa, who ended up setting up the Shogunate that would rule for over 2 centuries afterwards.
Guys, i just got my slide cut on my gun of a red dot. did this offend the kami or increase my favor with it. i don't want my dick to explode
Amaterasu!?
Shinto means Japanese sword.
This anon speaks fluent Japanese.
It's basically Pocahontas "spirit of the wind" shit. They think every object has a spirit and some spirits are powerful enough that it's worth gaining their favor through offerings of food and drink. It's a rather primitive religion that's survived for millennia because Japs are autistic.
Considering that every abrahamic country is a shithole compared to Japan I think Shinto is far more advanced than your sand devil israelite worship
The only reason Japan isn't a shithole is because it adopted Western values during the Meiji revolution. Before that it was a bunch of malnourished manlets who killed eachother with long obsolete weaponry. Christianity served Europe fine for centuries; the recent cultural decay is a result of giving women political power.
Tell that to the national socialists of the 20th century. White middle class women in education was some of the highest demographics of party members for the german national socialist party and the british national socialist party. Both of which rejected the trajectory of where Europe was going in. Intrinsicaly "non-liberal" political forces relied on female support. So shut the fuck up retard and get to know the history of western politics and why things are actually going to shit and not parrot half baked takes that america first homosexuals like to scream at every chance they have.
>and why things are actually going to shit
Go ahead and enlighten me, anon. Spoonfeed me what you believe to be the real cause, otherwise I'll just assume my original assessment was correct.
You want full esoteric or layman chunks for someone of your retardation to handle?
Gimme a layman's chunks with a side of esoteric sauce plz
Ok so the main issue comes from globalised trade and industrialisation. This is not a Ted talking point and has been around since the 18th as well as 19th century. In Europe industrialisation started to expand from the city trade streets to the country side and beyond. Cities grew as well the free movement of people in general as the increased trading in goods and materials led to larger ports and more international visitstion of merchants or imported labor. Cities started to take the form of the modern cities we know today and agriculture in alot of European countries started to become more and more urbanised. The people that lived in small communities either found themselves being sucked into this new age of industrialisation or fled to other more remote communities before they too got consumed. The day and age where communities were tight knit, self reliant became company towns with nuclear familys that were insular from their neighbours and dissconected from their enviroment. Locals began to be absorbed by the county and the county by the capital. These same families now uprooted from communial community culture and local history then began moving from place to place, unable to plant roots for prolonged periods of time and beginning the decsent of a lack of identifying with the land and country they lived in. Imported labour began warping metropolitan culure into a homogenised boiling pot as a new age of industrialisy oligarchs replaced the aristocrats of old. Globalisation, and soon libertarianism as well as the ideas of egalitarianism followed. As industrialistaion shifted physical life to a "modern" world, these new political and social policies began "modern" thought. This is where you get into the idea of history being seperated from the old world and the new one, and fringe rigthoids like myself believe that the concept of a modern world is destroying the order of human life.
Its autism, but far better than women being the downfall of the west.
>the order of human life.
which is what
Participating in the local community, a connection/appreciation for the land and enviroment you live on along with a respect for the cultural order, usually represented in the form of castes. Also if we are talking full on occoult territory being connected to the metaphysical and spiritual. There is also the idea of Hermeticism, that human nature and the secrets to life have been lost to history progressing to a modern world. In order to rediscover this knowledge and utopian being of human nature we must move the pendulum the other direction to the traditional world instead. But I repeat that is the more occoult angle. Usually it is down to the individual to find such Hermetic truths as an understanding of the occult is reserved for the aristocratic caste so technically I shouldnt be telling you this and it is down to you to discover it. If you cant find this stuff out, to the occult rigtoid you shouldn't be able to in the first place. This is as layman as I can get.

This is more a consequence of trade & economic policies than technological developement. And these destructive trade & economical policies are intentional, pushed by a small urbanite cosmopolitan clique that is everywhere but really belongs nowhere.
BTW christianity is a part of the modern world, as it is the very first globalist, universalist religion.

Name them, you cheeky bastard.
>BTW christianity is a part of the modern world, as it is the very first globalist, universalist religion.
Part of the reason I can't stand some of the more mainstream "white identitarian" groups out there. They tie themselves to this north american centrist idea of identity and culture while strangling themselves by embracing some flavor of Abrahamic faith, tone deaf to the negative impact that such religious sects have had on western history
>as well as the ideas of egalitarianism followed
christian universalism which is the genesis of modern egalitarianism (obviously) predates all of the socio-economic changes you speak of. BUT it was globalism and industrialization that allowed the previously present universalism in christianity to evolve into its logical endpoint. The ideal was clashing with the material. This is why Christianity was less gay before the modern period, the harsh material conditions limited its gayness. Now we have it so good (relatively) that all kinds of homosexualry is given space to grow even if it shouldn't. we are in many ways suffering from our own success. Hopefully we can find a nice synthesis without society collapsing first and regressing, I'm hopeful we can.
P.S. can someone photoshop a proper A2 upper onto barbies AR? ill give it a try myself but im not hopeful my skills will do it justice.
That's a lot of words to say israelites destroyed all sense of culture, family, community and trust in your fellow men just for them to gain power by replacing those with their own power structures. Depower individuals in all levels while hijacking power themselves
No that is not what I am saying and JQ is a pretty fucking basic take. Within the modern intellectual diaspora there were large amounts of secular israelites that contributed to modern world views regarding social or financial which are considered destructive and detrimental. But to say israelites are a monolithic cabal is stupid and deaf to the complex makeup of how metropolitan perspectives and globalised institutions form and coalesces. For each Secular israeli nihilist you had a dozen secular protestants libertarians, both demographics making up the vast majority of financial or industrial international conglomerates. There is an international coordinated effort to finalise the supremacy of the modern world for the next few centuries, but the enemy and takes many faces and forms.

Christians call all non christians pagans, even israelites and muslims, and they call each other heretics, depending on which sect they belong to.
The Pagans in Africa are literally the fucking worst. The Muslims have their retarded hierarchy and kingships that keep everyone in line, the Christians have schools and communities, but the pagans are in essence in a pvp of retardation and naggering that makes the other groups look competent, which for Africa is really saying something.
Pagans have this weird thing where they’re historically illiterate.
There are only two proper polytheistic countries left in the world to begin with (the other is India). Everywhere else is abrahamic monotheists or quasi-atheists (buddhists).

Finland
Nah.
Finland is probably among the cleanest western countries, and similar to Japan in some ways, but Japanese culture/society just cares way more about cleanliness of public spaces. They have better cultural value system.
Though, Finland's mostly agnostic society with deeply rooted lutheran christian moral values is not bad compared to shinto. They just don't apply to care of public spaces / cleanliness specifically. Also Finland has way more crime than Japan. It's a very safe country but not Japan-safe.
This is the saddest fucking thing I've read this year.

Are you into sumo as well? Lot of Shinto there.
>Shinto isn't really a religion at this point, it's more a bunch of traditional cultural practices.
Nope. Its a Folk Religion. Unlike Dogmatic religions (i.e. abrahamic ones) which are usually foreign to the people who adopted them and talk of the separation of the sacred/secular, folk religions are utterly tied to the culture of the people, where what is religious/secular is often blurred. This is not special to Japan as they got plenty of religious cues from Chinese Folk Religion as well, which communism couldn't even destroy as they dont know where the religion begins and where the secular culture ends.
A practice is not a religion. Religions are organized and codified and follow centralized rules and ideas. Shinto has none of that. It's just "6 million (read as: infinite) gods" and "do these rituals, maybe sometimes".
It's central to Japanese society in a very odd way. If you do not understand Shinto, you cannot understand Japan.
>Religions are organized and codified and follow centralized rules and ideas.
That is only true for some sects of christianity. Christianity itself is the original LARP religion, as it was crafted to cover for the (israeli) organized crime gang that was the early church. This LARP gradually became more complex until it became the first early form of christianity.
I have studied the topic of religion from the paranormal/occult forces angle, and I have reached the conclusion that long ago, before the beginnings of written history, religion was a set of practices to communicate with supernatural entities. That means that a real religion has "magic", since these entities can fiddle with reality in ways that are difficult to understand, as the fox shrine guy earlier in the thread found out when he fucked around and found out. Modern mass religion is as fake as pro wrestling and christians that try to virtue signal their moral superiority because they are christians are just hardcore cringe.
>I have studied the topic of religion from the paranormal/occult forces angle
So you're mentally ill, got it.
>ch of traditional cultural practices.
Like othe other anon said, that's just folk religions. They amount to mundane rituals, the worldview and so on, that's why Japs declare they have "no religion" in survey's and still visit shrines and also why something codified and dogmatic, like the abrahamic religions were nearly unstoppable in their spread.

what's important to note is that the US basically replaced religious blessings with American Civil Religious and similar analogs ceremonies. It's the same thing with a different skin.
It's pretty simple, if you religion preaches war and violence then blessing weapons is fine, if your religion preaches peace and forgiveness then blessing weapons is blasphemy.

I really wish it could have gone better, but that shit was making me spiral in an unhealthy way and I needed to get out. Still kinda regret it though because there were some cool times, but Jesus christ I missed regular interaction with people I could actually talk to beyond small talk.
Damn that's sucks mate, but at the very least you had a unique experience you can reflect on and learn from. Many people never even venture so far from home.
I had heard a lot of horror stories about ALT before going so that's why I avoided it. Sounds like its really hit or miss depending on where you end up. I really just got lucky that the animal shelter place I started out at was in Tokyo. If it had been in some more empty region I would've been trapped.
Thanks man, its not like I've given up on the place or anything, I had an amazing experience there in College and made a bro for life, plus I love the little yellow bastards in general, they have a special brand of autism that speaks to my heart.
Anyways, im probably going back with a friend in a few months, it turns out that having a well paying job and living with no expenses makes it easy to stack cash for your next adventure lol

Please understand that everything in the bible and especially NT is a collection of stories from different people of vastly different time periods. The Bible is not the word of god nor an absolute command from Jesus Christ. It was touched up with modern ideals multiple times and constantly rewritten to include more hopeful and peaceful language when the zeitgeist called for it. You can find mostly older and more literal translations and scriptures that were written in time of war and catastrophe that support a brute and aggressive sentiment if you want.
Just stop looking at the bible as one book, with the same meaning across all its versions and translations and for the love of god - please don't take it word by word because that's not what the bible is. It's a historical context of vague stories and ideas and dreams written across hundreds - sometimes a thousand years apart.
It's worth knowing that the Israelites had not received full Revelation, but it was given to them piece by piece over time.
For an example that I hear sometimes, you know how atheists always say "well if you need the promise of heaven and threat of hell to be good, then you're not really good"? The thing is the Israelites didn't have that promise or threat. They believed what the Babylonians and their other neighbors did, there was a single afterlife that everyone went to regardless of what you did here. This place, which they called Seir, was a vast dark place presumed to be underground. It varies from culture to culture, but the general idea is that it's a place of ultimate despair where the dead lay around being depressed forever. It almost seems like an allegory for oblivion after death.
Then Jesus came, and told us that this wasn't true. That there actually was hope all this time. They weren't told probably because the idea was that they didn't need to know, just be a good person and you'll learn about what happens when it happens. But that wasn't working since people clearly were still doing evil without that knowledge.
I do agree it need be looked on as separate books, but also as one whole work if that makes sense. Keep in mind the context behind each book, but also how they fit together into a single narrative. In any case, one verse removed from it and divorced of all context or supporting verses, in it's own book and across the other books that came before and even after it, is a terrible way to judge it. Yet that's what people are doing, both Christian and not. It should never be said that there was no reason for priests and monks, they common man clearly is yet incapable of simply reading the fucking book and has to have a dedicated book man to tell them what's in it.
yeah, because they don't turn around and scrub the feet of a dead communist, like the putrid, hellspawn shaman of poccnr.
>generalisimus
isnt that title more of a mockery? like no one calls himself a dictator

Because the Shinto priest is actually a priest, not a KGB kleptomaniac larping as an orthodox priest in a display of heretical blasphemy that would make the antichrist himself say "Steady on, now, that's going a bit far."
You dumb satanic worthless death worshipping nagger homosexual OP.
>heretical blasphemy that would make the antichrist himself say "Steady on, now, that's going a bit far."
This prove that so called "Christian" who support Russia don't even read fucking Bible. If you actually know about Christianity very well, you will realize that Putin and Russia exhibits so much Anti-christ behavior down to the letter. Also it's very interesting that Jesus think that hypocrite is far more vile and evil than unbelievers and sinners.
We are monitoring every thread. For the record, we’re not on either side.

Although to be fair the CIA still uses religious groups as covers to infiltrate spies even though its a big no no, and even when Presidents expressly forbids it.
Of course its ok, just look at the oddball stuff they come up with.

I could try to bless your rifle with holy water but I'm liable to summon a demon or something by accident.
Look if any churches in your area do anything for the feast day of Saint Hubertus the patron saint of hunters.
It's common for there to be a blessing for hunting dogs, rifles, horses ect.
Remember - Unholy weapons counter holy weapons.
In a religious context are unholy weapons actually a thing? Like is there a mace out there that is said to have had the 12th prince of hell personally bestow its armpit sweat onto its handle or something or is it more of just a broad catergory of weapons or philosophys that are considered unholy?
yeah it's okay when Japan uses sarin gas too
no one invaded them for that
>*blocks your path*
The main difference is that this isn't so much a religious ceremony, just as Japanese people go to shrines and temples to "pray" they do it just because they've always done it, they don't necessarily believe in it. Additionally, they'll do this sort of thing for fucking office printers and laptops.
In contrast r*ssians do it very religiously.
Minor difference of course being that unlike vatniks, Japan isn't illegally invading another country or planning to do so
every country has it's priests bless it's weapons
People on this website would let a Japanese person shit in their mouths and happily chew and swallow it without a second thought, obviously you're not going to get an unbiased answer.

>O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us. Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.
King David thinks differently.
>If a thief be found breaking up, and be smitten that he die, there shall no blood be shed for him.
Bible indicates killing thieves is acceptable.
>Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
Jesus himself commanded his followers to sell the clothes off their back and buy swords.
>Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid wait for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt. Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.
But don't take anyone else's word for it, God has commanded the genocide of an entire people and everything they own, down to women, children, even infants still breast feeding, and the animals the people owned.
So where did you get the retarded idea that the Bible prohibits killing? Don't try to pretend you know what the Bible says when you have never read it. Far from prohibiting killing, it outright and in no uncertain terms demands it.

...you remember when this thread was just about le heckin aethiest military vs religious military?
Yes. It is. Because Japan has a strong, good culture which appeals aesthetically. Aesthetics fill the empty moments, and that describes most of everyone's life. The deeper and purer the beauty of the aesthetic, the more warm and familiar it is. A handshake with history, casual and timeless, and friendly if you're that fortunate.
Japan is fortunate, but unfortunately is being invited and compelled to join other cultures in a "voluntary" decline, by the elements in those cultures responsible for it.

Blessing their weapons is one of the few based things Russia does. Its everything else they do that's the problem.
Why are people suddenly discovering this? This is from the delivery of AX-1 7 years ago. Talk about more relevant things like qt3.14 Mikos blessing the memorial of IJN Zuikaku.
Shinto services are extremely kino, it’s like that hamburger cheeseburger whopper whopper shit from dune
