@Mr. X It's hard to say, at least like 50% if not more of this discord are various anti-leftist trolls. It was heavily infiltrated, and many stayed just not really caring lol.

2018-08-16 17:28:16 UTC

What? No, most people here are definitely leftists.

2018-08-16 17:28:33 UTC

I'd say like 30-40% are trolls

2018-08-16 17:28:47 UTC

But not 50 or more than that

2018-08-16 17:49:58 UTC

Oh maybe your estimation is better then, lol. I was here for quite a long time and gained such an assumption after seeing how much people post what and looking at online list of people.

2018-08-16 17:54:42 UTC

What I find strange is how owner claimed to be Antifa few times, yet lets all the fascists and nazis in here.

2018-08-16 18:00:49 UTC

I've been here and very active here for a long time too.
I doubt he's antifa but this is a free speech server so of course he'll allow them.

2018-08-16 18:01:43 UTC

Maybe people think there's so many because of the spammers.

2018-08-16 18:01:56 UTC

But in reality most people are on the left for sure.

2018-08-16 18:02:17 UTC

Especially the most active

2018-08-17 07:28:31 UTC

@National Trotskyist I know what classical liberalism is, and that guy definitely presents himself as one (I know him from another server, to my displeasure). And of course European liberals are the center-right, they're now attracting what used to be "socialist" parties (look at the bullshittery the PS and PCF are engaging in in France).

2018-08-17 14:08:35 UTC

"health care is just dependence on authoritarianism"
>implying authoritarianism is bad

2018-08-17 21:30:37 UTC

Too much authoritarianism is bad.

2018-08-17 21:30:46 UTC

@Mr. X the ancap

2018-08-18 07:19:15 UTC

And calling liberalism left-wing is just you speaking as an Amerimutt.

2018-08-18 07:21:56 UTC

Im not ancap, retard. Nor am I american retard. And yes liberalism is left wing retard.

2018-08-18 07:28:57 UTC

Did I call you an ancap? lol

2018-08-18 07:29:08 UTC

So what does liberalisn mean?

2018-08-18 07:31:54 UTC

Yes, you did.

2018-08-18 07:32:00 UTC

Google it.

2018-08-18 07:32:05 UTC

Better yet, research them more.

2018-08-18 07:32:13 UTC

A lot more

2018-08-18 07:32:28 UTC

Not everything right to communism is on the right

2018-08-18 07:34:52 UTC

I was referring to @theepicone

2018-08-18 07:36:52 UTC

classical liberalism and neoliberalism are left-wing huh

2018-08-18 07:44:11 UTC

Yes

2018-08-18 07:44:17 UTC

And Im not An actual anarchist.

2018-08-18 07:44:58 UTC

So dont tag me

2018-08-18 10:04:32 UTC

I'd expect nothing else from an unironic Nietzchean

2018-08-18 10:11:49 UTC

I know you dont expect sense, you're senseless

2018-08-18 12:04:01 UTC

forgive me for questioning your ubermensch reason and logic <:merchant:323550879749898242>

2018-08-18 12:48:15 UTC

You clearly dont know what the ubermensch even is.

2018-08-18 12:58:33 UTC

I do know, I've read most of Nietzsche. He does raise a few interesting points, but I don't see how you can take him seriously when he only throws proclamations without argumenting them at all. It's very lyrical, I'll give you that. Somewhat like the Bible stylistically.

2018-08-18 13:03:19 UTC

The biggest thing of interest is probably the philological work which you can still see a bit in *Twilight of the Idols*.

2018-08-18 13:05:03 UTC

The books would be too long if he just argued through most of it. I highly doubt these were random claims though. He thought of them and thought of them deeply.

2018-08-18 13:05:17 UTC

For example, if you read *The Wagner Case*, while I do agree with most of his points, he never delves into musicological analysis (even though he clearly has the ability to). And even the philosophical and psychological analyses are very brief.

2018-08-18 13:05:36 UTC

I havent read his books yet but I have all his works except one I think. And Ill read that one online.

2018-08-18 13:06:36 UTC

I'n sure he has, but the reader is left without any of Nietzche's thinking process. It really is like a religious text.

2018-08-18 13:07:14 UTC

No wonder is seems familiar.

2018-08-18 13:07:15 UTC

That's contrary to the way most philosophers write. A thesis needs clarity to be evaluated objectively.

2018-08-18 13:07:35 UTC

I see.

2018-08-18 13:07:48 UTC

What about eastern philosophers?

2018-08-18 13:08:49 UTC

I suppose he would be closer to them, since he openly defecates on the Socratic dialectic which is at the base of Western philosophy.

2018-08-18 13:09:17 UTC

I do love his writing style which is very inflammatory. Calling George Sand a "milking cow".

2018-08-18 13:09:46 UTC

Dante a "grave-obsessed hyena".

2018-08-18 13:09:47 UTC

No I mean do eastern philosophers write less materialistically?

2018-08-18 13:10:25 UTC

Im sure they do compared to western philosophers but how much do they differ?

2018-08-18 13:12:34 UTC

Well, the clearer way of writing is not really "materialistic" since it focuses on the purely intellectual process. Nietzsche claimed to be the first Western materialist (of course, this is factually false).

I'm not that familiar with Eastern philosophers since European philosophical education basically forgets their existence. Most of the books I've read by them are more practical, concerning matters of law and strategy.

2018-08-18 13:13:24 UTC

I see. Makes sense

2018-08-18 13:13:41 UTC

Nietzsche claimed to be the first western materialist?

2018-08-18 13:14:46 UTC

I think this is from *Ramblings of an Inactual*, let me find my copy and translate the passage

2018-08-18 13:15:32 UTC

well it's jot here but I think it went like this

2018-08-18 13:17:03 UTC

"I am the first to have taken into account the physical body. The greatest crime of philosophy is to have discarded it by inventing faraway and metaphysical realities which have yet to be proven" (this is probably very imprecise paraphrase)

2018-08-18 13:18:25 UTC

Would you think he was egotistical?

2018-08-18 13:19:07 UTC

Probably an egoist, he despised all kinds of social policies

2018-08-18 13:19:43 UTC

As well as the rise of authoritarian patriotism in Germany, which he viewed as a sign of degeneracy

2018-08-18 13:20:01 UTC

I'd say he was a primitivist in a sense

2018-08-18 13:20:29 UTC

Which would explain his dislike of how Judeo-Christian faith weakened man

2018-08-18 13:22:05 UTC

Christianity was for him proto-socialism, the heavily Judaistic revenge of the oppressed against the Aryan hierarchical cult of Hinduism

2018-08-18 13:22:50 UTC

I see.

2018-08-18 13:23:01 UTC

Would he be an existentialist?

2018-08-18 13:24:40 UTC

In some ways, Nietzsche might have been the first to state the intuition of Sartre's existentialism, Bergson's processism (see N's appreciation of Heraclites as the only Greek who accepted movement and duration) and even Husserl's phenomenology

2018-08-18 13:25:24 UTC

Without creating a real system around them

2018-08-18 13:26:20 UTC

Maybe he viewed the rigor of clear explanation and the creation of a philosophical system as freezing and killing ideas, which is what he accused classical philosophy of doing

2018-08-18 13:27:07 UTC

What Nietzsche have you read?

2018-08-18 13:27:30 UTC

Nothing yet, most of what I know, I've heard from Jordan Peterson.

2018-08-18 13:27:49 UTC

I only just got nearly all the works yesterday

2018-08-18 13:27:53 UTC

Yikes

2018-08-18 13:28:00 UTC

Hm?

2018-08-18 13:29:26 UTC

If you wanna have a good laugh, read *Twilight of the Idols* and *The Wagner Case*. Nobody escapes his insulting pen there

2018-08-18 13:30:22 UTC

And I'd say Bergson is a great read too, the philosopher of duration

2018-08-18 13:30:47 UTC

I guess the big difference is that N sees process as decadence while B sees it as positive creation

2018-08-18 13:31:24 UTC

I'm not looking for a laugh. But what should I start with. What order exactly?

2018-08-18 13:32:55 UTC

start with *Twilight of the Idols* and *Beyond Good and Evil*, they're the most accessible

2018-08-18 13:33:14 UTC

Okay

2018-08-18 13:33:23 UTC

or check your editions, the forewords probably have good counsel on that

2018-08-18 13:33:58 UTC

Understood.

2018-08-18 13:34:08 UTC

then *The Antichrist*, *Genealogy of Morality* and *Ecce Homo*

2018-08-18 13:34:28 UTC

then you can read *Zarathustra*, the hardest

2018-08-18 13:35:14 UTC

Oh yeah Zarathrustra. Im going to like that book.

2018-08-18 13:36:03 UTC

then you have the smaller works, which can be read aside (read *The Wagner Case* and the 2nd *Untimely Meditation* with *Twilight of the Idols* on the matter of artistic decadence)

2018-08-18 13:37:05 UTC

I wouldn't really trust Peterson on explaining philosophers though, he either twists their words to fit his agenda (like with Nietzsche) or says complete nonsense (like with Foucault and Derrida)

2018-08-18 13:37:21 UTC

He doesnt have an agenda

2018-08-18 13:37:49 UTC

You're right

2018-08-18 13:37:51 UTC

Perhaps its just his interpretation, or you havent understood his point.

2018-08-18 13:38:00 UTC

His only agenda is the way to the bank

2018-08-18 13:38:16 UTC

No, his only agenda is to help people.

2018-08-18 13:38:26 UTC

He's not doing this for the money, that much is clear

2018-08-18 13:38:47 UTC

Yikes...

2018-08-18 13:38:55 UTC

Hm?

2018-08-18 13:39:00 UTC

I used to think so too

2018-08-18 13:39:09 UTC

Until?

2018-08-18 13:39:15 UTC

Is thay why he's now insisting on donations?

2018-08-18 13:39:26 UTC

He doesnt insist on donations.

2018-08-18 13:39:27 UTC

Check his Twitter account

2018-08-18 13:39:40 UTC

He's a con man

2018-08-18 13:39:53 UTC

Laughing all the way to the cheques his followers give him

2018-08-18 13:40:48 UTC

He's not asking for donations, he's advertising his book.

2018-08-18 13:41:24 UTC

Not surprised since its to help people

2018-08-18 13:41:56 UTC

aswell as trying to sell tickets to lectures to help people.

2018-08-18 13:43:20 UTC

He also twists words very skillfully and always returns onto semantic problems to evade issues. But I guess him being well-spoken can explain his popularity, just like all those other pseudo-intellectuals which attract TV spotlight nowadays

2018-08-18 13:43:41 UTC

Words such as?

2018-08-18 13:44:13 UTC

I dont watch tv. It's boring.

2018-08-18 13:45:31 UTC

Such as using hourly wages to talk of overall wages. He counts on the relative ignorance of the public. It's understandable since those are the same tactics his opponents (like that idiot of a journalist on Channel 4) use.

2018-08-18 13:46:25 UTC

The same kind of thing Hitchens used to do

2018-08-18 13:46:35 UTC

When did he use hourly wages to talk of overall wages?
Besides, seems pretty relative to me too.

2018-08-18 13:47:00 UTC

However, what I do like about JBP is his psychoanalytical take on Biblical myths

2018-08-18 13:47:09 UTC

That's interesting

2018-08-18 13:48:00 UTC

He was providing serious work when he wrote *Maps of the Mind* as a student, now he's just binge publishing "how to be better at life" books for easy cash

2018-08-18 13:48:31 UTC

Just like you see low-end philosophers like Michel Onfray do

2018-08-18 13:48:53 UTC

Or he's still providing serious work

2018-08-18 13:49:14 UTC

like what

2018-08-18 13:49:16 UTC

Just seems like speculation to me

2018-08-18 13:49:50 UTC

*12 rules for life*?

2018-08-18 13:50:06 UTC

Yes it got pretty good reviews

2018-08-18 13:50:33 UTC

that's the best example of those cheap life counselling books

2018-08-18 13:50:52 UTC

"how to be a good father", etc.

2018-08-18 13:51:02 UTC

Seems pretty important

2018-08-18 13:51:46 UTC

You can find dozens of those at the local train station

2018-08-18 13:52:09 UTC

Do they explain how to as good as JP though?

2018-08-18 13:52:49 UTC

I'm not complaining on a personal level

2018-08-18 13:52:58 UTC

I just feel like he's wasting his time

2018-08-18 13:53:16 UTC

With all those hours on youtube?

2018-08-18 13:53:35 UTC

Seems like a whole life time to me.

2018-08-18 13:54:06 UTC

Aswell as the lectures not recorded

2018-08-18 13:55:11 UTC

it's clear that I can't convince you and you can't convince me, and I have to take a shower before leaving soon.
let's out this off for some other time

2018-08-18 13:55:15 UTC

not if it is old teacher that is spiting on socialism and in our workbook there is a task in which we compare "communism" in ussr and fashism in italy and "nazism" in germany by writing yes or no to things like,cult of personality,starvation,propaganda,rasism,anti communism etc.

2018-09-11 03:04:15 UTC

on last page it seys right answer for that "communism" is propaganda,dictatorship,cult of personality and starvation.......

2018-09-11 03:04:37 UTC

if ussr was communist then germany was anarhist<:care:312065869767245835>

How do you smash SJWs claiming to be communists?

2018-09-11 09:08:54 UTC

They are commies

2018-09-11 10:11:39 UTC

@Dushman ask them about their theory

"hey I'm a communist!"
"which ideology?"
"uhhhhh...communism?"

2018-09-11 10:35:01 UTC

Lel

2018-09-11 10:43:36 UTC

No they'd likely say marxism

2018-09-11 10:43:43 UTC

or socialism

2018-09-11 10:44:04 UTC

Nah majority in the server I hang out with

2018-09-11 10:44:19 UTC

Is anarchist/libertarian socialist

2018-09-11 10:44:30 UTC

Or luxembourgist

2018-09-11 10:44:36 UTC

Most sjws I know are commies are socialists or marxists

2018-09-11 10:45:16 UTC

Antifa is usually full of them aswell as anarchists

2018-09-11 10:46:07 UTC

Some Marxists denpunce them

2018-09-11 10:46:50 UTC

Gee I wonder why, probably because a lot of marxists act like morons

2018-09-11 10:47:35 UTC

Some accuse them as being liberals

2018-09-11 10:48:05 UTC

a lot of liberals are commies

2018-09-11 10:48:26 UTC

Others accusation of being bourgeois oriented movement installing PC culture that divides the movement because the white workers are alienated from the concept

2018-09-11 10:48:41 UTC

Usually by the case they claim whites are priviliged

2018-09-11 10:49:07 UTC

Both theories are dumb

2018-09-11 10:49:18 UTC

and have been proven wrong

2018-09-11 10:49:40 UTC

Wait what ideology you subscribe to?

2018-09-11 10:50:36 UTC

None

2018-09-11 10:53:03 UTC

Ah right I shouldn't have asked

2018-09-11 10:53:55 UTC

Why not?

2018-09-11 10:54:24 UTC

Nah because I thought your pfp wasn't correlated to your ideology

2018-09-11 10:54:36 UTC

Nietszche simply looks outstanding regardless.

2018-09-11 10:54:53 UTC

Mhm

2018-09-11 10:55:16 UTC

I dont belong to an ideology though

2018-09-11 10:55:23 UTC

I know

2018-09-11 10:57:02 UTC

I guess you can say Im nietzschean though. But I havent even read his books yet. Just some lectures and I read a little bit. I wouldnt consider myself to a single ideology, but take different principals from different ideologies and philosophies.

2018-09-11 10:57:53 UTC

But yeah I dont belong to an ideology.

2018-09-11 14:59:31 UTC

"consider myself to a single ideology, "

yo Mr. E i think you have no say no one is in an ideology since concepts just don't work, no?

2018-09-12 15:30:53 UTC

@nagarjuna Mr. E is just going through his JBP phase

2018-09-12 15:32:31 UTC

thats peterson right

2018-09-12 16:02:41 UTC
2018-09-12 16:02:51 UTC

And no Im not going through an imaginary "phase"

2018-09-12 16:03:41 UTC

And what does this have to do with me liking peterson anyway?

2018-09-12 16:06:56 UTC

Concepts can work though.

2018-09-12 16:07:32 UTC

That's why I take different principals from different ideologies and philosophies

2018-09-12 16:15:11 UTC

I was asking the other guy is JBP means Jordan peterson

2018-09-12 16:15:25 UTC

I guess it is, that's all

2018-09-12 16:16:18 UTC

I do agree that Marxism is also identity politics, but all politics is

2018-09-12 16:16:45 UTC

In the sense of relying on the logic of identity/difference

2018-09-12 16:17:37 UTC

"we are so-and-so, we have attribute X. We are against other group Y because they have attribute Z"

2018-09-12 16:18:38 UTC

I never said it wasnt.

2018-09-12 16:19:26 UTC

Although ideologies dont accurately represent the individuals entire philosophy

2018-09-12 16:19:47 UTC

It only represents the groups common interests and principals.

2018-09-12 16:20:40 UTC

Which is why I dont belong to a philosophy. My beliefs just arent that simplistic

2018-09-12 16:20:56 UTC

Or basic

2018-09-12 16:21:37 UTC

And I know, I was asking @DOLBATIC about JP not you @nagarjuna

2018-09-12 16:22:19 UTC

Well you asked me "what?" I was clarifying what I thought you wanted clarified. And I was just laying out my understanding above

2018-09-12 16:24:05 UTC

I asked what to what you said about ideology and concepts not peterson.

2018-09-12 16:24:15 UTC

So do you see yourself as in a social group with common interests and principles?

2018-09-12 16:24:32 UTC

I was asking Tavernist why he thought JP as relevant.

2018-09-12 16:24:40 UTC

No

2018-09-12 16:25:28 UTC

I guess nietzscheans and existentialists are the closest but thats only to some of my principles

2018-09-12 16:26:25 UTC

So I wouldnt really say Im one of the two groups

2018-09-12 16:35:54 UTC

Word I meant that the concepts people use to define themselves don't really mean what they think they mean. Ideologies are always simplifications of the world, it comes down to the idea that language doesn't really convey truth or meaning in the way many think it does

2018-09-12 16:39:06 UTC

True.
