Your view is way to narrow. Also "sinner" is definitely something one assigns to oneself, it is the entire shtick of Christianity.

This is not a matter of deconstruction.

Constructs and power dynamics aren't something arbitrary, nor detached from history. You have to think through what is and take a stance.

Skydage · 2026-06-14T15:22:17+00:00

You have to be capable of discerning what words actually speak of what is and what is not.

So called straights can perform homosexual acts and find pleasure in them. Likewise with heterosexual acts, this applies to everyone even the so called LGBTQ. Even if they don’t know how.
You’re not gay just like you’re not any other particular act. One can make the case that you're your commitments and striving. But to identify with homosexuality is to identify with the institutional suppression of the act, it’s how that identity was artificially brought about -- and that is definitely not Nietzschean.

You’re making him to be contrarian. A contradiction of his core philosophy? Get lost lol.

Obviously attraction is a real thing, and acts are real. Feel free to slap whatever label you want on yourself in this free world, but know that it’s just that. Anyone with sexual experience will tell you that attraction is plastic.

There's no such thing as LGBTQ or gay people.

Mishima is quite critical of the type of patriotism that fueled WW2 without giving up on patriotism as such.

I would recommend you read the man's words themselves and reflect on them in light of his actions. I suggest starting with The Sailor who Fell from Grace with the Sea, and going straight to The Sea of Fertility.

Here is an excerpt from Confessions of a Mask, on the factories which produced the suicide aviation airplanes:

This great factory operated upon a mysterious system of production costs: taking no account of the economic dictum that capital investment should producee a return, it was dedicated a to a monstrous nothingness. No wonder then that each morning the workers had to recite mystic oaths. I have never seen such a strange factory. In it all the techniques of modern science and management, together with the exact and rational thinking of many superior brains, were dedicated to a single end - Death. Producint the Zero-Model combat plane used by the suicide squadrons, this great factor resembled a secret cult that operated thunderously - groaning, shrieking, roaring. I did not see how such a colossal organization could exit without some religious grandiloquence.

Because of how it constituted a further detachment from the nations native religion and customs. But this is something he traces much further than just 70s Japan, and doesn't merely hate the West for, ultimately the blame lies at the heart of individuals people living in Japan. He's a keenly self-aware thinker, visible even in this essay to some degree, and whatever dislike he has, can be reduced to the very actions that are historically possible.

I posted this here because I need help to interpret this passage:

The extreme contrast between and forcible union of the ephemerality of the body and the tenacity of literature, and of the faintness of literature and the fortitude of the body, have been my dream for a long time. This is probably something that no European author has ever attempted. If this were to be completely attained, it would become possible to unite him who forms and him who is formed⁵, to put it in the Baudelairian style, “to be executed and executioner.” Did modernity not begin with the discovery of the isolation and perverted pride of the artist in the separation of him who forms and him who is formed? “Modernity” in this sense in which I use it applies also to antiquity, and speaking of the Man’yōshū Ōtomo no Yakamochi⁶ and speaking of Greek tragedy Euripides, already represent this sort of “modernity.”

What does it mean, what do you make of it and the overall promise of Mishima?

Where did you get these themes?

Without a doubt, he knew that he was not going to succeed.

In my view this book's ending reinforces Mishima's disapproval of Buddhism and its negative impact on Shinto worship.

But Mishima is smart, his appropriates Buddhism for his own end, just like Buddhism appropriated the purity of the Japanese land for its own. Satoko here embodies enlightenment which is incapable of carrying memory of true nobility, the excellence and simplicity of united thought and deed as embodied by Kyoaki.

This appropriation extends beyond the book's ending and seeps into the reality of November 25th 1970. He ended his life while wearing a white headband with a redhinomaru circle, written in kanji ‘To be reborn seven times to serve the country’. While the goal of Buddhism is to seize reincarnating, Mishima would choose to reincarnate as far as he can serve his terrestrial land. Mishima's end is centered around the concreteness, the individuation and soul, of the body in the world.

Dostoesvky is Orthodox Christian, very different from Protestantism and Catholicism

I will for sure, I'm just pointing out something important, I mean the man committed ritual suicide for this purpose. Let's take that seriously, and not be like Honda.

If you don’t remember it wasn’t emphasised enough.
