East Asia and beyond is in for hell if Mishima’s explicit fascism is being mainstreamed in Japan
- UncleOxidant 6y agoI hadn't heard of Mishima before this, but I did get the distinct impression from reading that article that they were lionizing a fascist.
- pasabagi 6y agoWell, he's a good writer, but he was definitely a fascist. There's probably a bit of wiggle room in the difference between japanese and european fascism, but he's pretty solidly in the japanese fascist tradition.

- throwaw4ybio 6y agoI have to admit that this "last man" stuff rings of the "soyboy" rhetoric you hear in some corners of the web.
- Apocryphon 6y agoI don't think he's mainstreamed there, but he definitely has a growing fanbase on the Anglophone internet.
