Mishima Yukio might tick a few of your boxes if you're a right wing closeted homo.

What the fuck was his problem? Did he really think anyone in the military would listen to a gay fiction author? Why publically humiliate yourself before committing suicide?

It's on kanopy

Hey. I just wanted to remind everybody that Yukio Mishima is not gay.

That's about all. Peace out!

>There are a lot of suicides caused by pain and suffering, but there have been willful suicides caused by thought and will alone.

where do I start with this beautiful faggot?

I am a weak man with the body of a pre-teen Swedish boy.

However I agree with the idea that a healthy body is conducive to intellectual activity.

I will get /fit/ in the new year when I have funds. Mishima will be my inspiration.

Here, I felt, I was gaining a clue to an inner understanding of the cult of the hero. The cynicism that regards all hero worship as comical is always shadowed by a sense of physical inferiority. Invariably, it is the man who believes himself to be physically lacking in heroic attributes who speaks mockingly of the hero; and when he does so, how dishonest it is that his phraseology, partaking ostensibly of a logic so universal and general, should not (or at least should be assumed by the general public not to) give any clue to his physical characteristics.
>I have yet to hear hero worship mocked by a man endowed with what might justly be called heroic physical attributes. Facile cynicism, invariably, is related to feeble muscles or obesity, while the cult of the hero and a mighty nihilism are always related to a mighty body and well-tempered muscles.

Where were you when academia everywhere was BTFO?
