Anyways http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDdr-1iOqag since you know jap i want to know if the upper subs are right, or its fanwork bullshit. Cozits hard to beleive angelcop is attacking directly, considering japanese fearful nature. i have made comment too regarding kojima. what do you think about jap condition as conformists?I know about as much nihongo & as I do espanol. Which is not much. I usually rely on the way that I look to get around. (I look spanish enough to be mistaken for spansih & I look japanese enough to be mistaken for japanese.) That video seems accurate to moi, mainly because the political message seems to reflect Japan's real life situation. It doesn't seem to be attacking America imo. He's basically just referring to a certain insurgence within America, that's actually controlled by a foreign entity that's not actually American. (Even the Persona 2 games had you fighting against that "insurgence" except it was in the form of Nazi's in Innocent Sin, & the Japanese New World Order in Eternal Punishment.) Japan's not scared. I always see them more as biding their time. (Like in K7. Fukushima was trying to raise an army to protect Japan from foreign forces, because he felt that he couldn't rely on the Japan/U.S. alliance anymore.) Forget everything that you hear about Japan in the Foreign press. The majority of the foreign "news" that reports about Japan is all bullshit. These two blogs are practically the only source of English information http://cominganarchy.com/ http://ampontan.wordpress.com/ that I can rely on when it comes to Japanese political affairs. Kojima's a hack. I wish more gamers would look beyond his Hollywood like CG cutscenes & actually dissect & define what his scripts are actually saying. Kojima basically regurgitates jr. high history class bullshit, lunatic fringe conspiracy theories & god awful 80's b-movies. Contrast that with Suda 51's Killer 7. Which feat. characters who spoke like actual politicians. To the point that most K7 fans have no idea that much of the dialogue in K7 is political, because K7 obscures it's dialogue the same way a politician does. (Double speak.) K7 actually shows you how governments fuck over everybody, whereas MGS just talks about it. (A LOT.) Killer 7 & politics Alter Ego= Propaganda in the form of the media. Sunset=Political assassination in order to speed up or slow down a governments desired goal. Cloudman=How some governments will go out of their way in order to quell any new potential governments/movement from ever succeeding. (By killing them at the root.) Encounter= How governments basically participate in sanctioned crime against the people of their own governments. In order to raise profits for the haves. Smile= How governments enlist pawns to do all their work, & how those pawns don't even realize that they're actually being used. Everybody in this chapter is a patsy. (Matsuken,Linda,Emir,Mills, etc.) Lion= The end result (Fallout) that occurs due to built up tensions between rivaling poltical forces. I won't get into the messages that I get from MGS, that's best saved for another thread. All I will say is that MGS is only considered deep, because the MGS games make them feel emotional. (As if emotion equaled deep.) --- Shit, that's Angel Cop? I always thought it was just an anime with some hot big titty broad killing some shit. I had no idea that it was this political. (I agree with it's message btw.) I don't think conformity has anything to do with it. Japan has to stay allied with the United States, because of what is written in article 9. Japan is forbidden to have an army so their only choice is to rely on the United States military. (This is the breaking point in K7, because Japan decided that they don't want to rely on the U.S. for protection anymore.) I think the man is right on point when he claims that many wars have been fought using proxy forces aligned with the United States. Just look at the way the world is now. I've no doubt that the U.S will come back for the East (Excluding China.) once they're finished with the Middle East. Just like what that man said. The only thing that makes me laugh is his comments about the jews. All in all, I think it's retarded how some people are actually laughing at this video, because that vid truly does raise some real concerns imo. I mean come on, Nam was a proxy war. In a lot of ways, Japan does feel an awful like an unofficial 54rth State of the United States. 51,52, being guam & formerly Philippines. Puerto rico seems like another unofficial state. Course I just attribute this lax attitude to the general ignorance of the world populace in general. (We laugh at anything we don't understand, because most people are often too afraid to think for themselves.) A fact only becomes a fact, when it has become a conformist belief that the article in question is the truth.
Say that same shit to a guy, & they'll just cry like a girlThere's not much else to do, due to our stupid laws. Most laws are way too harsh on guys, yet way too linient on girls. (Girl can hurt a guy as much as she wants, but if retalieates in any way, he's screwed.) Guys become too soft, while girls become too hard. It's a lose/lose situation. *sigh* God, just wait. I know one day I'm going to jail for beating up a woman who goes to far with the "playful hitting". "Officer, I only beat because she was being a bitch and hitting me!"
