Hey kids, propaganda!

I just saw an awful anime movie called “The Laws of Eternity” (永遠の法 Eien no hō). It was basically a propaganda machine meant to indoctrinate Japanese children to believe the following:

• Atheists are agents of evil trying to spread human misery
• Science isn’t about the systematic analysis of the physical world, but is a political tool to be used to further culture and civilization (according to a specific agenda)
• All of the world religions are really just various manifestations of Buddhism
• People aren’t to be judged just by their actions, but by their thoughts as well (beware the thought police)
• Women are meant to give themselves selflessly to the service of others
• Men are meant to work hard and become captains of industry
• Though all people should be judged by their actions and thoughts, men alone can ultimately be evaluated solely by the outcomes of their careers (specifically, Thomas Edison was depicted as a high-ranking angel despite having in real life tortured animals as part of a feud with Nikolai Tesla, among other misdeeds)
• Nietzsche is in league with Hitler in the deepest depths of hell
• Hitler, in the deepest depths of hell, leads an army of undead soldiers and one gigantic evil elephant
• Foreigners are impure of thought, and therefore unsuited to enter the highest levels of heaven
• Black people are bumbling goofballs
• White people are cold-hearted, cynical bastards
• Japanese people are pure of heart and mind, and can therefore be admitted to the highest levels of heaven
• Japanese men are strong, stoic, hard-working, and righteous
• Japanese women are pretty, frail, loving, and always stand by their men

I’m sure I’ll remember some more, but suffice it to say that this movie was 100% preachy tripe. I definitely wouldn’t want my kids watching this until they’re old enough to appreciate the politics being pushed here.
