      It's worse. It's the narrow margin of allowable debate between fascist Pepes/Groypers and neoliberal Doges. :chomsky-yes-honey:

    You're clearly losing your mental stability from being online all day. Go outside and smoke some weed or something.

          No, no, you see, because the swastika is a holy buddhist symbol and how dare you associate it with Nazis! (actual argument I have seen)

            An exhaustive list of people who I tolerate that argument from:

            • Buddhists
            • Hindus

            That's it.

                Sikhs and Jains also use it, so I should add those to the list. As far as I can tell Japanese maps use swastikas to mark out Buddhist temples, while Shinto shrines have a tori gate symbol.

                Shinto is a folk religion that outdates Imperial Japan by centuries. I don't think it's necessarily fair to paint believers of Shinto with that wide of a brush for the exploitative distortions of State Shintoism. No more so than it is fair to paint Muslims with a broad brush for the bullshit ISIS uses Islam to justify.

                    Oh yeah, Japan as a whole is totally fine with being part of the Axis. To the point where it would probably make most Germans and Italians very uncomfortable.

                Yeah, if your genocidal mass murdering world conquering empire allied with the Nazis you lose your swastika pass.

              I know, right? Sartre was a sex pest and an asshole but he wasn't wrong about anti-semites/fash

              “Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”

    At the same time, I wish there was a bolshevik shibe. It's a good style. I'd have adopted one but they're like $2000 in Japan.

      Good news, with the Japanese yen in free fall, you can now get a shibe for just over $500: https://www.min-breeder.com/dog2209-05140.html

      Ofc, you'll have to deal with the moral quandary of supporting a dog breeder over adopting one from a pound, but animal adoptions in Japan are notoriously hard so if you're not in the country (and married, and have land) it's not really an option.

      The Japanese pet market is all sorts of fucked up, but one of the things it does is grade animals in the same way they grade fruits to pick out those stupid hundred dollar melons. If you're okay with a dog which is a little older (like one in link) or who has a different coloration, or who has features not considered mainstream desirable, there are bargains to be had.

        Adopting from rescues/shelters. I kept an eye on the local rescues but they never had shiba mixes. Similarly the shelters immediately adopted them out.
