denial is the strongest force in politics

people on this website are getting dumber by the day

@zenahitz yeah that's good advice. and then the next layer is the broader context

The danger here is that you get into "jigsaw puzzle mode", where you figure out how terms fit together without any idea of what anything means. Relentlessly try to make the text concrete before you connect it with any other conversation or theme.

@philliplede Absolutely wrong. Christ suffered to secure for us eternal life, not to relieve us of earthly suffering. Quite literally the opposite - He demonstrated that earthly suffering is the WAY to eternal life.

Boomer perennialist theology is a bit naive, accommodationist, and morally undemanding, but it embodies the Christian spirit of humility and hospitality to the other. Whereas a Nietzchian vitalist pseudo-Christianity that idolizes strength and power is straight up antichrist shit

@StephenKokx get your priorities straight

Vatican II was a schismatic act.

@beatmastermatt @4sheaux @mattbossong you're so out of touch it's scary

@4sheaux @mattbossong Not at all! Ignoring a person simply makes us forget about them. I'm surprised I have to explain this.

You lose my respect if you platform fascists. There is no "middle ground" between fascism and representative democracy. That's literally the biggest lesson of World War Two. It's naive to think that platforming fascists "exposes" them. It only legitimizes them to certain folks.

@cjonesy108 @micsolana so people who don't own property don't have skin in the game?

@micsolana There’s wisdom in the original system. Property owners had skin in the game. It’s a different economy now but the underlying principle is sound.

what exactly is the problem here? we’ve been told for years that billionaires pay less tax than poor people. empowering poor people with political power that corresponds with what they’ve invested in the system seems fair to me.

@beatmastermatt bro get a fucking grip. you're talking about "platforming" like it's 2015. You think fascists will go away if ignored?? these people are running our country now, they have cultural reach greater than that of liberals. we need to beat them on merit or we'll be destroyed.

@KILLTOPARTY still very true if you factor in inherited social and economic circumstances. whites still much more likely to be born on third base.

Peak 2010s culture— no one sincerely believes this anymore

@PostOpinions @robkhenderson literally making shit up to be mad about. this is the Washington Post now?

The most progressive parents in the United States are giving their children the most traditional names. “People with options choose the safest [names] for their own children, while praising risk and novelty for everyone else,” @robkhenderson says. “In my journey from foster care to Yale, I coined a term for this pattern: luxury beliefs.” 🔗 Read more about what the latest data on baby names says about progressives: wapo.st/4vWXtZo

@FinchOWar not dialectical enough

You never want to stop beating everyone on the “for you” tab to death with your bare hands because why are Marxists on the TL arguing against the Big Bang again

@thezachloeffler what does this mean

Adorno does not simply say that an artwork is “autonomous” and “fait social,” as almost all note, but that this double character is “reproduced on the level of autonomy.”

@BVMConsolatrix ok bro now go out into the world and love humanity

If you're in communion with the Second Vatican Council and post-Conciliar "Magisterium", you are not in the Communion of the Saints.

@zenahitz i think the most important thing is to get a sense of what conversations the text is participating in, what the stakes are, what are the implicit references, etc.

No. The reason that reading philosophy is difficult is that philosophy is difficult. When you "bounce off" a dense philosophical text, you need to read it again, slowly. Look for parts that make more sense than others-- they serve as beachheads. Talk about it with a friend.

@JohnTraddington @calvinrobinson what you smokin

@calvinrobinson The essence of post-Temple Judaism is envy: Envy of the Sacrifice of Jesus, of the true religion of God. So their plan always remains the same: Take away the sacrifice, render the Catholics impotent with God like us. And the Novus Ordo and protestantism did just that.

The Novus Ordo and Protestantism are both Jewish. I will not be taking questions at this time.

there is no "white" culture. there are the national cultures of white European countries, and there is the "western culture" that partly subsumes them -- but this latter has its roots in a Judeo-Roman synthesis, i.e. two groups recognized as non-white before the 20th century

@kenfox256 @JohnCleese Glad you asked. a great statistical overview: niussp.org/family-and-hou… "Approximately half of Congolese (49%), Ghanaian (56%), and Senegalese (49%) immigrants send money to their family." and some case studies: nationalgeographic.com/culture/articl…… journals.uvic.ca/index.php/bigr……

@derridium @JohnCleese .....and how do you know this? Provide reputable sources that backs up your claim.

No women or children or old people I wonder why

@jessreesflash @TrumpDailyCal @bigbabolat get a grip

@TrumpDailyCal @bigbabolat The kid jumping and splashing without any parental discipline?

Our ancestors fought and died so that these j33ts can come here and disrespect our war memorials.
