[QUOTE="Depresso, post: 80385, member: 347"] I literally gave you two compelling examples from Mishima and Morita themselves and it doesn't get clearer than that. The others don't really have to contradict the rationalisation of their own suicide especially when they want to present it that way to the world. It would take away from the message if it got too obvious that it was there before the message. If this is true, that's what makes them so dangerous. Anyone can just give them a mission or pull them into a pipeline and fit them into a narrative. This guy is writing essays about ritual death and then creates the context for [U]his own ritual suicide[/U] in the same year he publishes the essays.
