Conservative samurai aristocrats HATE the Shogun, he won't let the Emperor rule and keeps letting foreigners into Japan! So they assassinate a bunch of foreigners and overthrow the shogun...

just so the Emperor stays a figurehead, they dismantle the aristocracy, and invite the very same foreigners they were just decapitating to reform the country into the image of western capitalist societies 🤨

S*** makes no sense at all nobody I'm reading seems to acknowledge it. They just go "This guy assassinated 19 English merchants between 1860 and 1867. After murdering his son for questioning the authority of the Emperor, he would make himself dictator of Japan and travel to London seeking reform advisors"

Now do the Tanzimat era

Don't have to deny anything if you're innocent, that's just called telling the truth

DUBLIN, OHIO?? come on man

i really miss bourdain but at the same time he had a few episodes in the early 00s which rubbed me the wrong way. the one where he went to india and just ate at post-colonial fine dining places w rich indians which wished they british was kinda like questionable. also the one where he went to saudi arabia and kept shutting down/making the woman who was his tour guide feel insecure about islamic culture was kinda messed up. it was the early 00s so i dunno, TV was different and no one's perfect.

also just wanna plug i love the conspiracies theories about him getting whacked by hillary clinton

Iran protests look more organic than the hong kong or cuban one wonder how it's gonna play out
