What’s an Ideological standpoint?
I mean, I’m asking whether he’s right or left?
His dick? Mine’s leaning to the left.
Stupid, I’m talking about political right and left
No, if I recall correctly, Jii-chan’s always been on the first during his student days He talks about the fun he had during his university days, playing baseball with his friends several times.
First? What ideology is that? First doctrine?
It’s not ideology. It’s baseball
Why are we talking about baseball now? Err.
Okay, I’ve had enough. Kou. Katsuko-san Mariko speaks to Katsuko-nee.
Kouzuki-sama’s the representative of a large enterprise and is the man who ties up the whole nobility, and so I believe that his ideology is closer to the conservatives. Katsuko-nee;
I don’t know anything. I mean, no one knows what ideology Kouzuki-sama supports nor his political standing She smiled.
It’s unknown?
Yes. Nobody ever brings that up as a topic Oh.
Speaking of which, Jii-chan always teaches me a lot of information and he tells me something along the lines of Actually, it’s like this, or The truth is, it had to be like this, but, he never talks about how the country or the society should be based on his thoughts
Naturally. After all, think of his status Katsuko-nee said while smiling wryly.
He can talk business with everyone in the political and business circles, but, he can never talk about his beliefs
Why? Mariko asks.
You’ll have to think of that yourself again. If you know why then you’ll understand why our family shouldn’t approach politics either Katsuko-nee replies.
I can understand Arisu speaks.
My grandfather was also like that. Kurama Kaku group is mainly a hotel management group, our customers who are politicians use our place, but, we will never support any politician or party
When you support politician A, it will create a trench between the other politicians
Kurama house’s hotels and traditional inns will no longer be used Arisu said. Mitama and Kinuka added.
Ah Mariko raised her voice.
Kurama Kaku group has high-class hotels and long-standing traditional inns that everyone uses, and so it should have politicians from big parties using it, but still, we have to use caution. Even within the ruling party, there are factions, and there are politicians who are supposed to be at the center of the mainstream of the largest faction that can easily lose their position Katsuko-nee said.
Gaining an ally also means you gain an enemy. Especially with politicians, they’re fussy about that
Yes. Therefore, I believe my Late grandfather tried to avoid getting close to certain political seniors. Arisu said.
I’m not born from nobility so I hardly know much about the common sense among the nobility Mariko looked down.
No, even among the nobility.my father, Mizushima house has a deep association with a particular political party. Not all of the nobility draw the line with political groups. Mariko-oneesama, you don’t have to mind it Karen consoles Mariko.
Although, my father was like that, and that’s why he had Kouzuki-sama’s house infiltrated, and got punished by excluding him from the nobility Mizushima house let Tendou Otome, an underling of the Kansai Yakuza infiltrate a party in the Kouzuki mansion. They’re stripped of their status as nobility, and Karen, their daughter, became my sex slave as a punishment.
You know, I remember this conversation I had with Jii-chan Right, Jii-chan told me this before.
He talked about politics and ideology once If I recall.
Err, when was the Great Depression? I asked the girls.
The first century of the Gregorius calendar?
Mitama-oneesama, that’s the Great pope Mitama and Kinuka said.
The great depression was in 1929 Mariko tells me.
Oh, yeah. During the 1929 Great depression. Jii-chan talked about this first; Err, Even now, nobody knows what’s the specific reason why the Great depression happened
That’s not true. The cause was the dark Thursday when the Wall Street stocks plummeted
Nonono, that’s not what he’s talking about Mariko. As for why did that crash happened.
That’s.well, there were a lot of main factors. The idea that the laissez-faire economic policies of pre-Keynesian capitalism would all work out with the ‘invisible hand of God’ is supposed to have been a disaster
Mariko-san, that was an analysis result post-event, right? That’s not what Kouzuki-sama’s telling him Katsuko-nee holds back Mariko.
Yeah. According to Jii-chan, the cause of the Great Depression was actually a combination of several causes on a global scale, and it is not something that can be identified in a single word. It’s messed up, complicated, and has a lot of primary causes I continued.
But, to those who were alive at that time who were talking to each other, they make conclusions like This is the cause, or It’s his fault, or It’s that country’s fault
It’s the politician’s fault, the social system’s fault, an enterprise’s fault, or a nearby company’s fault, something like that Katsuko-nee understood.
Yes, Jii-chan mentioned that in any age, it’s entertainment for the common people to say that Something’s wrong, or we’re losing money because of something. Even without knowing the cause, they say; This is the cause, this is their fault, and start cursing
Saying that it’s entertainment is a little harsh, but that’s very much like him. But there are certainly a lot of people who mistake complaining about a blanket statement like that as political activism. In the end, people only think that they understand, but in reality, they don’t understand anything nor have any desire to understand. They just complain about it, making a target of their frustration Oh, I see. Katsuko-nee also heard the same story from Jii-chan.
But that kind of ‘dissatisfaction’ can lead to revolution Mariko said.
True. And after the revolution, everything they spearheaded as bad will be destroyed. Even those who actually didn’t do any harm. They just decide that it’s bad, and so it has to be destroyed, that’s how the masses agree Katsuko-nee replied.
Be it an individual, enterprise, or a social system, they destroy it nonsensically. Then, that new ideology creates a new society, but. Katsuko-nee looked at Mariko.
Many of the former Eastern states were supposed to be ideologically socialist, their names also said so. But the truth is, it’s just dictatorship. Isn’t that right?
Yes, I heard that it’s the fact
Why do you think that’s happened?
I don’t know Mariko looks confused. Katsuko-nee;
Ideology is just that, an idea. The idea of the world should be like this,’ and the reality of the world is like this, is different. It’s one thing to have ideals, but it’s another thing to be able to realize those ideals, and that requires a different kind of effort, doesn’t it? Yeah.
And yet, many of the former Eastern countries thought that they could establish an ideal state simply by setting up an only ideal idea. They say this country is a great nation because it’s built on great ideas. Ideas, and reality, are two different things. Therefore, they become bankrupt. You can’t make a good company with just ideas. You need to take time and effort to make your Ideas, a reality Your ‘ideas,’ is nothing but a castle in the sky until you change that ideal to reality. There’s no ideal country yet That’s why you can spread out your ideology, and it’ll only become dictatorship
It’s scary, but there are still countries in the world where people are suffering from inexcusable oppressions even though they only impose their ideology, and advertise internally and externally that this country is a wonderful country because it’s governed by a wonderful ideology Oh, that’s true.
We in Kuromori house prioritize reality more. After all, our lives deviate from law and morals. There will always be powers hostile to us, and so we’re already occupied by facing reality Katsuko-nee said.
