@sun the spook of the 'national shinto religion' was used by the GHQ to purge japan of it's entirely secular civil service culture and replace it with american pyramid with eye culture.
for those with eyes it can be seen in nagatacho and in the new constitution.

@mono I am very interested in learning things contrary to american propaganda which influences every aspect of american education
@sun i want to get the boys together to watch teito monogatari next weekend. it's got yokai and demons and shit but it's a good example of post-war japanese counter history aesthetics
@SuperDicq @menherahair it's an explicitly ethnic religion btw its 100% tied to japanese islands and ethnicities, there's like two non japanese shinto priests worldwide and they're not recognized by most other shinto
i suggest not talking about this topic until youve learned more about meiji era history
