I know someone who worked for Panasonic in it’s heyday and they said the culture there was very much cult like so I believe it.

Lets look at Hondaracer. He is a gun owner and a person who is not a law abiding citizen because he has admitted to smoking weed before it was legal. Technically he should not be allowed to own a gun but he has never been caught.

Jesus Christ you’re such a fucking clown.

Says the guy who buys drugs illegally from drug dealers and owns guns. Ever take money from friends for drugs?

Slow that roll man... if buying drugs of any sort was the bar for legality on this forum you and like 2 other people might be the only ones posting.

I don't think it's helping your argument any.

I don't care if he buys drugs but under Canadian law he is a criminal. Just because someone has a pal does not make them a law abiding angle.

Unless I'm reading it wrong, I think you guys are missing manic's point... I think I get where he's going, but maybe he could clarify it?

At the very least I don't think he's judging honda for buying drugs illegally... It seems to be more a comment on the tired defense of relaxed gun laws that some people have.

Turns out that this guy's mother was a member of one of the many cults (or "modern religions" as they're called there). They completely ripped her off and bankrupted her.

Abe (and many other politicians in his party) had ties to this cult (actually Trump did too, but just a paid speaking arrangement) so that's who he went after.

I'm not sure how well known it is, but Japan has IMO a pretty big problem with these cults. Basically take Scientology and multiply it by dozens, because that's how many there are. They all recruit heavily, and will rip off anyone in any way they see fit. And a lot of them have ties to the LDP, Abe's party. That's probably why it's not really being reported in mainstream Japanese news.

I read it was the Unification Church aka. The Moonies

Relevant Seinfeld:

I think when anyone uses the term "law abiding citizen" and gun ownership it's obviously implied that it's in the context of violent crimes...

I think the problem with that argument is that sure someone can be a perfectly law abiding in that sense, until one day they're not.

The highland park shooter guy was a law abiding citizen, up until he opened fire on people.

It was commented to PressTV news a few days ago that its the toitsu kyokai sec of the church.

The PDF link comments on controversial money raising activities tarnishing the churches image.
It has blend of various influences like Taoist philosophy and Buddhism. Those two, including Judism, Hinduism and other so called religions can be traced back to similarities in Greek gods and its mythologies.

Cult to pay woman huge compensation over forced donations for ancestors
https://culteducation.com/group/1277...ancestors.html

Quote:

A cult has agreed to pay about 230 million yen in compensation to an elderly woman for forcing her to donate a massive amount of money to redeem her ancestors' sins.

The Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of Christianity, known as "Toitsu Kyokai" in Japan, has agreed to pay the settlement money to a 70-year-old woman from Chiba Prefecture, who had demanded the cult compensate her for about 220 million yen that she donated to the religious group.
.....
The victim told the press, "I was told that my ancestors were suffering in hell. The amount of money they demanded got higher and higher, and I felt bound by hand and foot."

According to Kito, the woman paid the donations to the cult during a five-year period until 2005. When the woman demanded the cult pay back the donations and pay her compensation, the cult initially didn't comply.

However, after the victim told the cult that she would file a suit against it

Yup they will tell people that their ancestors are suffering, and can only be helped if you give them all your money.. This guy's mom sold her house and gave literally all her money, about 50 million yen.

As you can see from CiC's post that correlates to the real world for once, they have been successfully sued for their coersion.

I guess the guy actually had some lucidity behind his motives, hoping to find some way to crush these cults. Unfortunately they raise WAY too much money for the LDP so that's never going to happen.
