I'm glad Petraeus landed on his feet. It's been a tough couple of years for the careers of our military high command.

my friend, is it more likely that you know better about email security than an ex-director of the CIA or that you have goofy Hollywood-informed ideas about how things like that work

Hell yes! Miyazaki! He's like Achewood, Pixar, and freaking Chuck Palaniak, rolled into an epic sushi roll with bacon and mayonnaise. My mouth is running over with saliva at the thought of a cartoon.

so I've been watching through shingeki no kyojin and it really is just entirely about promoting nietzschean fascism. like, i just wanted to watch some neat looking grappling hook sky-surfers fight off giants, but the central theme to the whole series is glorification of vengeance and the savoring of anger/hate/violence. a girardian critique could have a field day with this cartoon

oh wait, is THAT what fascism is? and people are against it??

yeah, that was a poorly written thing. i wasn't trying to say that's what fascism was, but there are overwhelming fascistic elements, like ultra-patriotism and militarism. there's talk about eugenics and racial superiority and stuff. And it's all done in a positive light. it's all valorized with exhilarating music and proud dramatic speeches given to inspire. i was approaching the vengeance thing more fro ma girardian perspective. one of the characters literally justifies murdering this guy because she saw a mantis eat a moth and she ate ducks. there was some line about "how many times have i seen this scenario? it's the same thing" so she stabs a guy because her dad killed a duck for food.

but more than that it's probably one of the most existential cartoon i've seen. i seriously think the writers just loved nietzsche and all his ideas. everyone's all about being eagles and eating some sheep.

but it still has all the horrible cliches most japanese cartoons have. and it's just so poorly written. it really just hurts my head to listen to/read the dialogue. i'd much rather just watch a compilation of all the sky-surfing and giant slashing, that'd be a better way to spend my time imo.
