Joe Kassabian, host of the Lions Led By Donkeys podcast and sci-fi author, comes back on the show to talk about Yukio Mishima, once Japans most famous novelist, who led a failed project to restore imperial glory to the country- only to be booed and commit Seppuku.
Joe talks to us about what Mishima's novels, and their preoccupations with death, tells us about his eventual fate. He also tells us about how Mishima developed the Shield Society, a private army of guys who were dedicated to getting shredded, and all in love with Mishima. Of course, we also talk about Mishimas posters impulse, and why it seems to resonate so much with the terminally online right today.
