• Hey Guest,

    As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. The UK and OFCOM has singled out this community and have been focusing its censorship efforts here. It takes a good amount of resources to maintain the infrastructure for our community and to resist this censorship. We would appreciate any and all donations.

I think it's brilliant. People should be more collectivist and live within their society as upstanding and honourable individuals. If they can't, they should be ostracized or removed completely. Or, should be able to take their own lives, thus dying honourably if they fail to meet the standards of society.

We allow too much suffering by allowing certain individuals too many chances when people don't really change. Not that I support the death penalty because mistakes are notoriously common when it comes to that. I do support real criminals being removed from society for their crimes. Permanently. '

I am going to try living my life differently according to the Bushido philosophy before I make the final decision to CTB.

According to Inazo Nitobe's book Bushido, the lives of the samurai warriors were ruled by 7 principles called Bushido. These 7 rules were Righteousness, Loyalty, Honor, Respect, Honesty, Courage and Consistency. Righteousness (義 gi). Justice is the most important virtue for the samurai.

I'm going to really live better and change for the better. Everything needs to be square first and there are things I need to face that are going to be hard. But, no growth comes without difficulty.
Are there any individuals here whom know more about Bushido or whom are willing to discuss it further in this thread?

Not sure what to think about Bushido and Shogun government but I do like a lot of samurai media, they fall under "comforting" for me. Manga such as Vagabond, Blade of The Immortal, Peacemaker Kurogane; movies like Ran, Kagemusha, Gohatto. My favourite game Sekiro. Also idk why but I read the Gikeiki text for fun... this part stood out to me.

I wonder how much things would differ if the Shogun government began with Yoshitsune instead Yoritomo.
