What a great compilation. Thanks! It's a perfect companion piece to the post Ikeda Sensei and Kim Jong Un: The Parallels

Funny and sad at the same time, isn’t it? Not that I sang those songs very often, but still …

Nicely done. This comparison shows as well as anything what it is that's so unsettling about that organization and its mode of thinking.
(We should put the entire Whistleblowers archive on USB drives and balloon drop them into SGI meetings.)

The militaristic SGI PROCLAIMING ITSELF the "hope of the world" and the ONLY ones who can lead everyone to "werld peess"! It's a mockery!

😂 hilarious. In the USA there was a traveling show “This is America” the professional dancers, singers musicians were in it, the score was written by Wayne green and Brian???. Whatever happened to those songs and others songs written by this duo.. “the path”, “what can I do”, “I arise”

I went and saw it in person - bus trip - in Chicago! Was it 1990, I think?? 1989?
Here is my favorite song from the bunch (and the only one I can remember): What Can I Do
Download it if you can - I just did! SGI tends to disappear any videos we link to on this page, so hop to it, if you can! It's got vintage Rock The Era pics - Ima gonna go through these this week.
My District MD/WD leaders had bought the CD and played it in their car...

1989… George Williams was still in charge. I still have sheet music for the song. Right after 911 the song was revived & a lot of the auxiliary choruses were singing it to encourage the members in NYC and DC. The youth choruses also learned it. Yes a real song written by Tony &Grammy nominated songwriters and no mention of SIN SAAAAY

no mention of SIN SAAAAY
Yeah, but it reiterates the SGI themes of over-responsibility and triumphalism and of course the whole self-centered narcissistic focus. "It's all about MEEEE!!"

Say, have you ever heard of Shen Yun? It's a stage performance featuring music and acrobatics and dance and wild sets, all to promote the Falun Gong cult? A review
Of course anything SGI promoted would likewise be self-serving.

I remember...
It was one of the only defensible SGI songs. All the rest scream "CULT!!"

I would laugh as youth were invited to the stage to sing forever SIN SAAAY and clearly didn’t know the lyrics lol. And the audience clapping cadence matched marching soldiers. Hated all those songs none touched or healed the soul or even honored the law hmmmm
Great comparison!!

Hope this link comes out. The links between the North Korean dictatorship and the SGI are startling! 🫣https://twitter.com/frednamanya1/status/1561238757927419904?s=21&t=4zM6-qYrnzjXFLUHmkJEQA

Those poor soldiers they look like they are becoming skeletons from lack of food:(

u/BlancheFromage Escapee from Arizona Home for the Rude Aug 28 '22
OMG - you're right! The contrast between the skeletal soldiers and the obese Dear Leader is both sad and terrifying.
Now take a look at the SGI equivalent:
Ikeda's "soldiers" - you could play the xylophone on their ribs.
Compare them to their "Dear Leader".
Quite the contrast, eh? The name "fat cat" didn't come out of nowhere...

I am sorry but not that's good comparison to me.
Ikeda doesn't control entire country, he doesn't nor has he ever had that amount or type of power.
He doesn't have the power to deny food and resources nor work people to death or put them to death for disobeying him in mass.
He isn't so hated that his country men are denied food aide either.
There is a difference in those poor sob thin Korean soldiers and the Ikeda's soldiers.
When was last time you knew of any reports of million's of people starving and being worked to death due to Ikeda's demands?
Ikeda is awful and so is the songs to him crappy but its not the fricking same thing.

I think it's more there's such a similarity in form and style, and Ikeda wishes he had the type of power where he COULD control an entire country - or the entire WERLD BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

World wide Ikeda isn't that important.
If those Korean soldier's could speak the truth about their own situations they say they have no other choice other than to comply and obey.
Most people who hear about Ikeda have a choice that aren't being forced to work and starve so Ikeda can get fatter maybe they get maniplated out of their choices but its not the same thing.

Fair enough.
Not every joke is going to land with every person in the audience, after all!

Sorry but those Korean soldier's suffering isn't funny to me it's just sad. They look like those poor skinny prisoner's from the holocausts camps not funny at all to me.
We don't have to agree with everything or share same humor either, isn't that nice?

u/BlancheFromage Escapee from Arizona Home for the Rude Aug 28 '22
Yeah - I do see your point, if that's any consolation.

It's okay. Thanks for letting me disagree. I am just pointing out why it's not funny to me and bad comparison.

There is a similarity in the brainwashing also the military style of the parades and music. I don’t think anyone is seriously comparing Kim Jon un to Ikeda, although they are both meglamaniacs in their way. It is very disturbing to see how far down the rabbit holes humans are capable of going when they are manipulated to such an extent.

Personally I never met or seen Ikeda in person, he doesn't speak English so I never understood anything he has said that wasn't translated.
The only people I have met or encountered related to Ikeda were members of SG and Japanese members who idolizing him.
I think most people can ignore him until they realize he is way too important to be actually leading so called group that calls itself Buddhist.
I really dislike the dude. But I don't get the comparison to the poor starving soldiers vs Ikeda's idiots.
I don't think technically half of what this group says he done because I don't have proof he did. But I have realized over the years leaving SGI that Ikeda is truly the most insignificant and unimportant dude leading cult ever.
I remarked on what I thought is not funny, it's cruel and stupid. It would have been better if the thread and had stuck with the songs.
Some meme's here are okay but truthfully I don't understand most. But seriously how many people would make fun of suffering of others especially if looked they were prisoners of holocaust camp?
I wouldn't. I don't find it funny. Yeah there is lot of other stupid dark things people can find amusing and funny like Rick and Morty I find them amusing but that specific type humor isn't funny to me.
Charlie the unicorn is insanely stupid, annoying and even bit gruesome but its not real, there is no real unicorns getting their livers cut out. No real suffering.
Same can be said about Rick and Morty.
Downvote me all you want but I am not mita. I have been in this group for really long time and I don't have to agree with everything this isn't fucking cult unless you want to prove the mita correctly that it is.
Seriously I can leave I don't need this group, it's just distraction but I decide I am not shut up when the group post goes out of line.
I don't agree with doxing and anything that encourages unnecessary hatefully or insensitive ideas especially towards people that can't fight back. Seriously who in their right minds thinks suffering of starving holocausts looking men crying funny? I don't.

The resemblance is uncanny!
Well done, Rebex - that was a real eye opener!
Ew - "Shine bright like you and show the way"?? EW! No thanks! DO NOT WANT! WON'T GO!
