Baffled.
#personal#not art#like how do you arrive at this conclusion#what beliefs?#the man may be a total grouch but if there’s one thing he HATES it’s Japanese nationalism#Japanese nationalists famously HATE his work especially the wind rises which criticizes imperial Japan and calls out the invasion of China#don’t ask for context on the first part of the tag I’m not answering

((Hoyo really put the concerns of some of the elders in Modern Day China here, good gosh
A bit of China talk under the tags))
#OOC#Basically to summarize one of the concerns in China#One of China's sentiment is that their government kept insisting that other countries ESPECIALLY the US loves picking on China#And China would someday be strong enough to 'beat' the US and take over as the world's superpower#All this talk while the rich China politicians send their kids over to the US to study because of China's education system and all that#What Sushang is saying is similar to the concerns of traditional Chinese people in modern era#Is that because China 'always gets bullied and pushed around' (it doesn't help that their government is a bully too)#The kids are leaning more towards other foreign cultures such as the US while not having much of China's tradition and heritage#Basically it became a 'Westernization' of China where the West started to influence China and those who are proud of their home are worried#It doesn't help that the Chinese elders still remember the Nanjing Massacre back at the VERY old days when Imperial Japan was around#So not only are the nationalists seeing their kids be influenced by Western media and stuff#They also don't respect tradition and culture that much either and it doesn't help that politicians are sending their child overseas#instead of working on their own education system#For those who are aware of the famous Japanese song: Senbonzakura it's very similar#I think I pretty much ranted enough but yeah#tl;dr: Sushang's words are pretty much one of the biggest concerns of Modern-day China among people who love their nation

Because it is absolutely hilarious and you need an account to access the transcripts (and the website has one foot in the grave so it's unclear whether you can create new accounts anymore), I'm going to share this dialogue (or well, several variations of the same dialogue) with you, from Popup Chinese.
甲: 你能不能别伤害中国人民感情啊？
乙: 我怎么了？
甲: 你刚才说你想吃新疆菜？
乙: 我就是想吃一份新疆拌面。
甲: 是中国新疆。中国新疆菜。
乙: 新疆不是中国的一部分吗？
甲: 你怎么还敢说这种问题啊？
［第二部］
甲: 你怎么又伤害中国人民感情啊？
乙: 我又怎么了？
甲: 你又说你想吃贵州菜！
乙: 我没吃过啊。我想尝尝。
甲: 是中国贵州好吗？拜托。中国贵州菜。
乙: 贵州不是中国的一部分吗？
［第三部］
乙: 你能不能不伤害中国人的感情？
甲: 我怎么了？
乙: 你刚才说你要吃北京菜。
甲: 是啊。我就是想吃一碗北京炸酱面嘛。
乙: 那叫中国北京。中国北京炸酱面。
甲: 北京不就是中国的吗？
乙: 那你就应该骄傲点啊。你说我要吃首都北京的炸酱面。
甲: 好。我要吃中国北京首都的炸酱面。好了吗？行了吗？
乙: 不行。我想吃新疆菜。
［第四部］
甲: 你能不能不伤害中国人的感情？
乙: 我又怎么了？
甲: 你刚才说你想吃上海菜。
乙: 对啊。
甲: 没有人喜欢吃上海菜。
#langblr#chinese#mandarin#汉语#中文#explaining the joke:#chinese nationalist types will refer to contested territories with 'CHINESE [name of territory]' instead of just the name of the area#(and not doing that is 'hurting the feelings of the chinese people' according to them)#but if you follow this to its logical conclusion the question is:#if these territories ARE part of China why do you need to emphasise it by adding Chinese in front of the name - but you DONT do that with#other parts of China?#like why would you need to say Chinese Taiwan but not Chinese Beijing? 🤔#so the dialogues are making fun of nationalists and on this blog we make fun of nationalists of all stripes#(the dialogue is making fun of Shanghai a bit too :P sorry. it was that old 2014 ChinesePod vs. Popup Chinese Beijing-Shanghai rivalry)

say what you want about 1984, but honestly I think it was very insightful to say that Russia, China, and the USA would eventually cease hostilities but pretend to be each other's enemies in order to scare their own citizens into submission
#i think the tensions between russia and the usa are pretty real (look at all the proxy wars)#but all danger of real conflict with china is long gone#its been 50 years since we last had a proxy war and we're firmly entrenched in each other's economies#but it's quite helpful for both governments if the citizens think they're in danger#the ccp gets an excuse to double down on censorship and increase national zeal#while the usa gets an excuse to increase military funding which helps it secure more resources in foreign countries#and also increase nationalist zeal#idk. go on weibo and listen to how they talk about ''the western powers'' and You Will See#txt

i know it's memed a lot and outside of that a lot more eloquent people than i have discussed it, but it really is fucked up how so many things are seen as inherently bad when it's chinese
#or north korean#or any socialist or communist country really but china and nk get hit with it hardest in the us ive noticed#like i think about so many things that happen here in the us that if they happened in china or nk that#americans would be disgusted by but don't think twice about when they happened here#mickey.txt#sinophobia cw#like any movie about the american military tbh#i literally saw one where an american solider sniped down a local small boy who was holding a molotov cocktail#EVEN THOUGH THE AMERICANS WERE INVADING but its okay because he was sad after ): LIKE??#or on a less heavy sense#that time when my mom and i drove passed a farm that was hanging a huge american flag on the side of the barn#or when it was really early in the morning and the news needed filler#so they played stock footage of pretty scenery while a little girl sang a song about america#or how often times. not matter how small the event is. kids sports games will often play the national anthem at the beginning#or even when cartoon network or 4kids would have channel blocks around 4th of july#or presidents day#and would super impose pokemon with historical figures and presidents#or would edit cartoon clips so cartoon characters would sing the national anthem#and ofc us forcing kids to say the pledge of allegiance (which is a heavy phrase when you break it down)#im rambling but seriously this country does so much nationalistic bullshit and we think its perfectly fine#but if and when any asian/swena country does anything like it we have days of news stories#discussing how brainwashed those citizens are#i feel like that fucking charlie day meme when i explain it to people esp my parents but its really obvious when you step back and look#its maddening

Reactionary dictatorships can be broadly distinguished by the segment of the ruling class whose interests they primarily represent. These are just preliminary thoughts and there are definitely others, but rough classifications might look like this:
The old ‘conservative authoritarian’ regimes of interwar Europe were deployed to uphold pre-liberal power structures and values (church, crown, aristocracy) and revitalize them with experiments in corporatism and militarization. Many of these regimes attempted to mimic fascist revolution in the 1930s-40s – such as Salazar's Estado Novo or Pétain's Révolution nationale – but dedicated fascists were marginalized or crushed and, in the case of Portugal and Spain, these para-fascist dictatorships were later able to defascistize into purely conservative, ‘integral Catholic’ ones. It seems to me that at least in Europe, this type of regime died in the 1970s with the Carnation Revolution, the death of Franco, and the collapse of the Greek junta.
In societies where the power of traditional elites has been wiped out, there are those regimes whose reaction is fundamentally bourgeois; Pinochet is probably the most well-known example, and authoritarian tendencies in liberal and neoliberal democracies are microcosms of the same phenomenon. A significant subcategory, or possibly heavily overlapping separate category, is neocolonial kleptocracies reinforced from outside, including the Marcos dictatorship, the Shah's Iran, and Operation Condor.
Also fundamentally bourgeois, but distinct from your Parks and Pinochets, are conservative ‘electoral autocracies’ mostly peculiar to the twenty-first century which combine ‘reformist’ ultra-nationalism and religious conservatism to gradually ‘authoritarianize’ the political system. There are distinctions to be made within this: Putin, Erdoğan, and Modi all embrace a militaristic machismo that seems to be alien to Orbán, for instance. Early Fascist Italy was something like this, with the important difference that Mussolini came to power on the back of an overtly revolutionary and totalitarian mass movement that the others lack.
And lastly there are places where traditional elites were never marginalized at all but successfully adapted ultra-conservative power structures to an increasingly globalized capitalist world, allowing royal, religious, aristocratic, and tribal elites to partner fully with the bourgeoisie in engineering a system both thoroughly modernized and profoundly reactionary, Saudi Arabia being the most infamous living example. It occurs to me that Imperial Japan may have been on the way to something similar.
#i did forget right-wing developmental regimes#i very briefly mentioned park's korea but nationalist china is the ur-example#phibun's thailand was a fascistized version that later became an american-backed anti-communist regime the second time around#the people's lobby

"CHANGSHA - A Jap Rout," Brantford Expositor. May 27, 1942. Page 10.
----
Graveyard Hill was the name of the decisie battle for Changsha in which Chinese scored their great victory. Here Chinese troops hold hill overlooking and dominating the vital Chinese City.
Return of the native picture shows Changha residents in a crude sailboat crossing the Hsiang River. They are going back to what was left of their homes. They are still in those homes, too.
Rubble of what was once their house greeted these two Chinese, but they were fashioning a new dwelling place with the bricks and other bits left them after the smoke of battle had cleared.
Congratulations to victorious Gen. Hsueh Yueh from Harris Forman photographer for NEA Service and The Expositor, who scored a world scop by obtaining these exclusive pictures

Thinking about HKers who wave American flags and the Union Jack as symbols of FREEDOM!! while seriously believing that the British Empire liberated Hong Kong instead of, you know, forcibly taking it as a colony for their own capitalistic interests, like, how does it feel to bootlick the worst of the Western imperial powers lol
#no re-blogging#i stg no other former british colony behaves like this#also thinking of the erasure and colonization of taiwan's actual indigenous population by chinese nationalists#it's unhinged how much historical revisionism has happened bc of sinophobia#and this need to characterize china and chinese people as an eternal entity of evil#fucking turning the british empire into some poor baby uwu

President Bong Bong Marcos (PBBM) is CORRECT when he pointed out that bringing our Territorial Dispute with China to the United Nations (UN) won’t accomplish anything except antagonize and further demonize China.
We already supposedly “won” the 2016 Arbitral Ruling, and yet up to now it is just a piece of Paper, we can’t even use it to force our supposed “Ally” the United States (US) to drive China out of the South China Sea (SCS).
This RISA HONTIVEROS is just again seems to be using China for Publicity Purposes, to put her Name in the News and keep herself popular for whatever Elections she decides to run in the near future. She is very likely just a FAKE and PRETEND “Nationalist”, if she weren’t so then why is she consistently SILENT on the Issue of SABAH, ‘aber’?
I challenge her to file a Resolution to bring the Issue of Sabah against Malaysia to the UN. She likely won’t do that, and continue to keep silent about Sabah and pretend it doesn’t exist
SOURCE: Bongbong Marcos doesn’t see how Hontiveros’ Resolution will make UN scold China {Archived Link}

Will we ever get anything quite like Code Geass again?
I don't think it's possible.
Code Geass is Japanese nationalist propaganda disguised as a global political drama, disguised as a military mecha show, disguised as yaoibait, disguised as a teen melodrama, disguised as a high school romcom, disguised as a Pizza Hut commercial...
...except those layers aren't layers at all, but are instead comingled in a giant snake ball of insanity.
The lead writer, Ichirō Ōkouchi, only ever worked as an episode writer for other shows prior to Code Geass, and never took the helm of an anime series ever again. And it shows. [EDIT: Several people have pointed out his other lead writing credits to me. So I misread Wikipedia—sue me. I maintain that this guy is a better episode writer than he is a lead writer.]
The minute-to-minute pacing is impeccable from a mechanical standpoint, with tension and stakes rising to ever-higher peaks, balanced out by the slow simmers of the b-plot and c-plot. It keeps the viewer on the edge of their seat at all times. Meanwhile, the large-scale plot is the most off-the-wall middle school nonsense I've ever seen, continually surprising the viewer by pulling twists too dumb to have ever have been on their radar—and therefore more effective in terms of raw shock value.
"Greenlight it!" was the mantra of this anime's production. It must have been. It has, in no particular order, all of the following:
Character designs from CLAMP, the foremost yaoi/BL group in Japan at the time—for characters who are only queer insofar as they can bait the audience, and only straight insofar as they can be more misogynist to the female cast.
Speaking of the female cast, hoo boy the fanservice. We've all seen anime girls breast boobily, with many cases more egregious than Code Geass, but there's something special about it happening immediately after—or sometimes in the middle of!—scenes of military conflict and ethnic cleansing.
Pizza Hut product placement everywhere, in every conceivable situation. High-speed chases, light slice-of-life scenes, intimate character moments, all of it. Gotta have Pizza Hut.
The anime-only Pizza Hut mascot, Cheese-kun. He wears a fedora.
The most hilarious approximations of European names—which I would love to see more often, frankly. Names like, I dunno, "Count Schnitzelgrübe zi Blanquezzio."
A depiction of China that is wholly removed from any modern reality, with red-and-gold pagodas, ornamental robes, scheming eunuchs, and a brainwashed child empress. There's a character named General Tsao, like the chicken.
Inappropriate free-form jazz in the soundtrack, intruding at the most unexpected times.
A secret cabal not unlike the Illuminati, run by an immortal shota with magic powers, holding influence all across the world, at the highest levels of government. They matter for approximately three episodes.
An unexpected insert scene of a schoolgirl using the corner of a table to masturbate. She's doing it to thoughts of her crush, the princess Euphemia—because she believes Euphemia to be as racist as she herself is, and that gets her off. This interrupts an unrelated scene of our protagonist faction planning their next move, which then resumes as if uninterrupted.
Said schoolgirl, in a fit of hysteria, threatens to detonate a worse-than-nuclear bomb in the middle of her school. She then goes on to develop an even more destructive version of that bomb, and become a war criminal, in a chain of cause-and-effect stemming from the moment she finds out that Euphemia wasn't actually that racist.
A character called "the Earl of Pudding."
A premise that asks us to believe that the name Lelouch is normal enough that he didn't need to change it when he went into hiding as an ordinary civilian. "No, that's not Prince Strimbleford von Vanquish! That's our classmate, Strimbleford Smith."
The collective unconscious, a la Carl Jung, within which the protagonist fights his villainous father for control over the fate of humankind. After this is over, the anime just keeps going for about ten more episodes.
An episode in which a mech tosses a giant pizza.
A gay yandere sleeper agent who can manipulate the perception of time.
Chess being played very badly, even to the untrained eye. Lelouch frequently checkmates his opponent by moving his king. This goes hand-in-hand with the anime's crock of bad chess symbolism.
A fictional drug that can most succinctly be described as "nostalgia heroin."
Roller-skating mecha in knightly armor, and some of the most sickass mecha fight choreography that I've seen.
I could go on and on, but I think you get the picture. This anime is what the average Westerner in 2006 thought anime was, and it was made in a confluence of factors that cannot be replicated. I've never had so much fun watching something that I found so... insulting. Repugnant. Ridiculous. Baffling. I love it sincerely.
Catch me cosplaying Lloyd Asplund at a con sometime, or maybe even the big gay loser himself, Lelouch vi Britannia.
