...so my great grandfather was a council leader to the local clan elder, he was responsible for regional distribution of farm goods to the provincial cities on the outskirts of Kyoto, his younger brother & second cousin was always envious of his powerful position, these inner family conflicts were the downfall of our families position, for the historical record these events had to occur, the eta never had a chance at true rule, always a burakumin class had to survive as assassins, mercenaries, money lenders to the feudal shogunate who controlled the local province, betrayal was a common solution to a local dispute or the lack of payment for a large loan or even a slight disrespect which often led to generational feuds, one family trying to out play another... these feuds evolved into the modern day zaibatsu, companies like Honda, Yamaha, Mitsubishi, etc. are the direct descendants from their feudal predecessors... they evolved into these manufacturing economic engines during the second war with the western Europeans, from samurai warlords into salary men, but the eta class individuals left to their own devices went underground to develop their own modern version of the black markets, the yakuza organizations supported their local villages when the westerners occupied the islands, they acted as watch guards to the their peoples pride, while being spit upon by the invading culture which was slowly converting while simultaneously destroying, the warrior spirit, the yakuza much like northern Ireland never laid down their arms or surrendered...they used crime as a method to resist foreign occupation & rule...
resistance as a method of self-determinism...  :meditate:

so... we've reached an apex in culture where drawing meets painting meets sculpture to create animation, digital media, video games, movie effects / everyone's an artist with their own style yet re-hashing the same few clichés over and over, variations on one or two ideas (more like 100-500 ideas), repeated endlessly in a soulless repetition, comics, manga, anime, fantasy art, chibi, fur, pokeman hell, rendered with perfect precision on tablets using photoshop with 4000 layers to make flawless shiny glowing jelly bean-magical lumps of nymph-like fairies, demoniacal wizards, robots and dragons of infinite...! The weaponization of "cute", that triangulation of eyes and nose, perfected by Disney design and translated through Japanese pop culture which can be found on any common house cat travels through levels of cultural boundaries, perverting every aesthetic with its cult-like influence, join the borg!-end of cynical rant
