RE: Being in the kindergarten this morning, I saw why war is possible.
You still don't understand that I am not singling out Japan or Japanese culture, but state-sponsored/culture-sponsored indoctrination of children anywhere. How you are not getting this is beyond me, man.
Same thing. (especially in Japan). Discipline and indoctrination of their ways is what made Japan what you see today and not a common asian clusterfuck. This is exactly why you see Kimono in the streets still. This is exactly why temples are next to skyscrapers and trees trimmed to perfection in the middle of nowhere. This "militaristic" way as you describe it, develops character, respect and ethos — something a free-range westerner will never comprehend fully.
You are the one not getting how the state and culture are intertwined and a product of one another.
I don't get that? Thank you for teaching me, Sensei.
The military stuff was not the focus of this post. Child psychology and coercive collectivist cultural indoctrination as regards education worldwide was. Kids, bro. Don't be obtuse.
