@Free_Idealist @smirk @AnimeTradCath @Shadowman311 Behind the gay snark you are just saying that rhetoric is in fact jewish, that convincing people of things they don't already agree with through argument is jewish, and that no one should ever do politics. Very conservative, well done.

@Free_Idealist @smirk @AnimeTradCath @Shadowman311 The reason you think rhetoric is deceptive is because you have no idea how to explain anything to anyone. It's like saying a teacher is being deceptive by not starting 5 year olds on calculus. They aren't going to deny that is where they are going if asked, but they aren't going to throw it at the students at the beginning either because it is counter-productive to the process of educating someone. You are saying rhetoric is jewish, whether you understand what rhetoric is or not.

@Free_Idealist @smirk @AnimeTradCath @Shadowman311 I am telling you that you don't properly understand what rhetoric is, which is why you are saying that it is dishonest to not start at the end when educating people. You have fallen victim to the same miseducation that almost all of us once received, where right-wingers are taught to identify politics and rhetoric (whether you like those terms or not) as fundamentally slimy and dishonest. You would not accuse anyone training someone in another area of life, like work at a mill, of being deceptive for not dumping the newguy headfirst into the work he will be doing a year later. It would overwhelm him. That doesn't mean you lie when asked about it, but you don't start there. Jews do lie about their end goals, of course, but your mistake is conflating that with the process of rhetoric itself.When it comes to politics, we are taught to identify this basic process of training as belonging to the enemy. This is intentional, because it teaches us to be politically impotent. If some rival business tricked your foremen into thinking that they were being dishonest by not training their new hires on the hardest stuff first, you would call it sabotage. And that's exactly what this way of thinking is: political sabotage. Right-wingers have had their brains sabotaged to where they see political education as the exclusive province of the left and jews.

@Free_Idealist @smirk @AnimeTradCath @Shadowman311 Propaganda IS political education. To convince someone to do something requires educating them first on what the problem is and how to approach the solution. Politics is not magic, the same rules apply to it as to every other kind of collective human labor. Human beings do not suddenly become something other than human beings when learning about political matters, and what is honest when training a welder or a physicist is honest when training an anti-semite.If you were actually a Nazi you would know this. I don't care what you think you are, you still have a conservative mentality. Whatever you may know about jews, race, etc, has been layered on top of the same anti-political worldview. You have to be trained out of it, as does everyone afflicted with the same broken thinking to whatever degree. Your mindset is more practical than those who would say that teaching people about jews is icky or whatever, but you are still being held back by this idea that politics is inherently dishonest and jewish. Even if you feel that it is still necessary to engage in politics, you will never be able to do it as well as someone who knows what they are doing is right.

@Free_Idealist @smirk @AnimeTradCath @Shadowman311 If you don't think propaganda is political education then what is it? A dirty trick? Was Dr. Goebbels the minister of dirty tricks? That is certainly how the jews framed him, but I don't think he would agree with you or them on this issue either. Like any training, good propaganda starts with a few lines, that lead to paragraphs, that lead to treatises and manuals for those capable and inclined. It is a process with a beginning.I don't think you even realize where your ideas about politics, propaganda, etc really come from, and I don't see how someone who calls themselves a Nazi (and therefore presumably has read things written by people like Dr. Goebbels about political education/propaganda) could say the things you are saying.And I did not insult your character, like I did with the guy who was clearly acting in bad faith. Your anti-political thinking is not a result of bad character, it is a result of bad (malicious, actually) training, the same bad training I and most White people have had. People who can't build rockets aren't incapable because they have bad morals, and the same is true of people who can't do politics. This is what I mean by treating politics as magic, you are treating it as something that does not follow the normal rules of human action. You were taught wrong on purpose, by people who DO have bad character and who do not believe the things they teach.

@Arkana @Shadowman311 @Some_German_Guy He was a real person, but he was a court pet and not a samurai. He was a Portuguese slave bought by Nobunaga who used him to entertain guests. When Nobunaga was betrayed, and then the betrayer was defeated, Yasuke fell into the hands of Nobunaga's successor. At first they wanted to execute him because he should have died with his master, but then they decided he was actually an animal and not a person so they gave him to a Christian missionary. That is basically the entire story.

@Some_German_Guy @Arkana @Shadowman311 Yes, there are a few funny anecdotes that come along much later and may or may not be true, like Nobunaga telling the Portuguese to bathe him and laughing hysterically when the black didn't come off, and that led to him buying Yasuke to repeat the joke to other Japanese.

@Arkana @Shadowman311 @Some_German_Guy There is no actual source for him ever being in battle, or for 99% of the rest of the Wikipedia entry. The extent of contemporary primary sources on him is less than a paragraph.

@Arkana @Shadowman311 @Some_German_Guy It should be noted that a sword-bearer is not a warrior, it is a court position like a cup-bearer. The daimyo would traditionally not wear his sword while holding court, and a servant would hold it instead.

@johnnyappleseed @Some_German_Guy @Arkana @Shadowman311 All of those stories came along much later, and because they are somewhat stereotypical stories about a first encounter with black people it is about 50/50 whether they happened at all or whether the later Japanese writer just thought it was the kind of thing that would have happened.

@johnnyappleseed @Some_German_Guy @Arkana @Shadowman311 The modern judeo-liberal version of the story is the same phenomena through a very different lens, they didn't find new sources about this wog but rather they just dreamt up things that historical negros would do according to their worldview, like being the most awesomest warrior and wise sage etc.

@Arkana @Shadowman311 @Some_German_Guy @johnnyappleseed Yeah Adams is much better known than Joosten, he gets mentioned in Japanese history textbooks and has been a minor character in a number of Japanese historical dramas about the period.

It's just the marginally higher IQ required to notice and respond to the social expectation that you don't run over people on purpose. Not necessarily smart enough to not do it, not necessarily empathetic enough to care, just smart enough to know that it's a bad thing to do and people will hate you if you make excuses for it.
