bro
what
he's a brand name for his ideas
you literally just did that
when?
i mentioned a quote from him
Ah yes, I'll add a quote about Hitler in my argument for vegetarianism, that doesn't make a good case
for his time yeah
i dont live my life as if I praise him though
you called him the best revolutionary thinker
that's kind of praising
k well i dont adhere
to his philosophy exclusively or mostly
Henry the 8th was fat af
not a revolutionary thinker, but the best
for his time isn't a very high standard
lol
he was responding to the ecclesiastical nature of the 14th 15th 16th 17th 18th and 19th centuries while grappling the nihlism of the 20th
you didn’t specify during his time
who gives a shit lol
you said an in general *best*
idc
his new way of thinking made more sense
ok
for his incoming generation
it was even eventually appropriated by the left after it was by the right
and the left has a history of hijacking important thinkers
👍
so does the right
not really
lol
both have bad
thinkers like hobbes, kant, hume, locke, etc
were all founded out of right wing enlightenment branches
engels and marx were obviously left leaning socialists
among other thinkers
but the left has a history of making every single figure above somehow leftist
"left leaning"
BRUH
