Mishima never intended to succeed your retard.

He almost entirely expected to die and knew that the major effect of his death would send shockwaves around Japan, by doing honour to the Emperor he was also critiquing him and the modern Japanese world. These ideas are already present in his books anyway.

I know it's a bait thread, but people still don't seem to realise this anyway.

It's quite easy to refute, just explain to them "your opinion is a corrupted one by modern political correctness which in every medium tells one that all opinions are equal... when they clearly are not. You're denying reality[/the human being] if you think beauty is merely subjective, and by that statement morality must be subjective too! If one such highest of values is subjective, and accepting unconditionally your moral ought of things, then so must be morality in our treatment to and action in it. For the meaning of such an experience in beauty is altogether denied if it is left up to an equality of ought's, also."

Or some such. Just a bit simpler for normies, hence I put in the bit "it's denying reality" and go from there, perhaps using psychological terms which the modern man is familiar with, to better explain it. "You deny the fact of the human psyche, and moreover the meaning of beauty in it by your statement" is more appealing and understandable to them than "you deny the unique meaning of the human being, and moreover the meaning of beauty in the world by your statement".

Jesus blatantly contradicts these in the Gospels you retard, these are not "new commandments" like the Old Testament, they are contextual sayings which embody the spirit of Christendom. Try reading a book and not getting your dopamine receptors fried by bookwheels.

>THE FOUR ARCHANGELS, so the legends tell,
>Raphael, Gabriel, Michael, Azrael,
>Being first of those to whom the Power was shown,
>Stood first of all the Host before The Throne,
>And, when the Charges were allotted, burst 5
>Tumultuous-winged from out the assembly first.
>Zeal was their spur that bade them strictly heed
>Their own high judgment on their lightest deed.
>Zeal was their spur that, when relief was given,
>Urged them unwearied to new toils in Heaven; 10
>For Honour’s sake perfecting every task
>Beyond what e’en Perfection’s self could ask….
>And Allah, Who created Zeal and Pride,
>Knows how the twain are perilous-near allied.

I'm going to beat poetry and find out what makes it tick, it's not going to best me! I'll work on it 'till I know. This I do not give up.
