Been reading Moldbug and I got a big redpill.

We've been doing this all wrong, Trump even with all his bravado and bluster only got passed minor immigration reform in his first term and an incomplete wall. He'll get more done if he wins, but not the deporting millions of illegals we need. What really needs to get done first, and I think may be easier to accomplish, is to dismantle the power structures first that are in the way of us accomplishing the sort of comprehensive immigration reform that is necessary to save America.

>But first, let’s nail down our terms. The great power center of 2008 is the Cathedral. The Cathedral has two parts: the accredited universities and the established press. The universities formulate public policy. The press guides public opinion. In other words, the universities make decisions, for which the press manufactures consent. It’s as simple as a punch in the mouth.

>The Cathedral operates as the brain of a broader power structure, the Polygon or Apparat—the permanent civil service. The Apparat is the civil service proper (all nonmilitary officials whose positions are immune to partisan politics, also known as “democracy”), plus all those formally outside government whose goal is to influence or implement public policy—i.e., NGOs. (There’s a reason NGOs have to remind themselves that they’re “non-governmental.”)

>(If we did not have an existing category for the press and universities, we could easily think of them as NGOs—in particular, the system wherein journalists are nominally supervised by for-profit media corporations is purely historical. If the Times and its pseudo-competitors ever fail, as they may well, the responsibility of funding and organizing journalism will fall to the great foundations, who will certainly be happy to pick up the relatively small expense.)

If we just went straight after the cathedral we'd make more progress then trying to accomplish our goals with it still in place. I don't think it'd be legally possible to really go after the press at the moment, but thats fine since old media is facing relevancy and financial issues anyway.

What can be done though is the removal of funding to the universities that are supplying and creating an ecosystem to churn out these radical politics generation after generation. If the university system were able to be successfully demolished that would hit the cathedral harder then anything in decades, maybe since Hitler. The only thing in the way of it is that its currently a radical and unwidespread opinion among mainstream conservatives, but its very possible it could be spread to them if there were a real movement to get #DefundUniversities out there. I'm not positive where the funding comes from but most likely the executive branch education department right? So if we got Trump or another conservative president on this message it could be done.

"Seventeen" and "The Death of a Political Youth". Written by Kenzaburō Ōe in 1961. Anyone else read them?

Can you become a suicide bomber instead and give a Globalist a big hug on the way out? Why die like a little bitch in a hospital and be forgotten immediately when you could go down in history as the cancer kid who kicked off WWIII. You have an opportunity to become legend. Sorry about your cancer anon. I love you.

AaAaAaAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, help me lit I'm desperate. I cant find the "Japanese Poetry: The Uta" by Arthur Waley anywhere. I've already searched at libgen and got nothing.
I've been reading his chinese books, he's a pretty based translator that unlike Ezra Pound actually knew the languages he was eeh... "transcreating"(lol). The man is also self taught and this japanese book seems like his greatest one on the language. Any format will do the trick. Help a pleb.
Also oriental poetry general, is it worth reading the Cantos? It is on my list.

The assassination of Inejiro Asanuma (leader of the Japanese Socialist party in the fifties) by Otoya Yamaguchi. Having been captured at the scene of the crime and imprisoned, three weeks later Yamaguchi hung himself in his cell leaving behind a message written on the wall: "Seven lives for my country. Long live His Imperial Majesty, the Emperor!" He is hailed as a hero in Japan and abroad, and credited with being a major factor in halting Socialist growth in Japan.
Here's video footage of the assassination which was widely broadcast at the time of the incident: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5ZItXDOt3A
Gives me chills every time I watch it.

should i just buy this and put it on soulseek for you homos?

>reads Nitobe and Mishima once

Did mishima ever comment on this?

You're imminently going to be giving or receiving a coup de grâce. You have only a moment to say a fitting poetic line, or quotation. The bullet is itching to leave the chamber. What do you say?

Give me something patrician
Preferable if it has to do simething with politics but not necessary
Genre and origin doesn't matter

Help me out here, /lit/. I recall once reading about an esoteric jewish/gnostic cult whose adherents believed that it was necessary to commit every possible sin so as to resemble the divine spark of God.

Does this ring any bells?

this thread is why I love /p/

I have a theory that the japanese way of thinking could be understood through a series of books, at the risk of getting exiled to /wsr/, would you please recommend me something to read?

the normalisation of political violence is not something the left will win
for that reason keep punching Nazis
