It is, after all, part of our heritage (and thus, worth defending)
In much the same way that Aquinas and the rest synthesized Greek and Roman thought, it may fall on us to synthesize the property rights and representative government with more traditional Christian thought
I can't disagree with you on anything you've said. It's pretty much things I'd nod to. After all, any serious form of community has to abide by hierarchy.
I don't know how well a catholic reframing will go over in the US
I do fundamentally believe in the sovereignty and self determination of the European people, a line of thought that would only be possible after the enlightenment
I think most people here would agree
You can learn from and adapt the useful parts of liberalism
Instead of deconstructing and rejecting it as if we were cultural marxists
That second take probably won’t get me many friends here, but I think it’s the only way forward in the short term
Outright fascism or whatever is a joke and will never succeed in America
I can’t speak for Europe
I'll have to educate myself more before speaking on it broadly, but I respect your opinion. I agree with you more than I don't.
@Norik I am really interested by the idea of adapting the useful parts of liberalism.
good take
What would we even call a synthesis of liberal ideas with reactionary ideas?
Labels are unimportant
labels are for marketing purposes
Ah, gotcha.
Does Greco-Roman Christianity ala Aquinas even have a name?
I just call it western thought
A lot of things sound badass with 'neo.'
Name checks out.
Imagine unironically supporting a Turkish invasion of Europe
SIEGE is about how you should smoke crack and make snuff porn
And somehow that will cause national socialism
I remember seeing some quote off all the extremist wignat types who “read siege” and ended up killing people and then said in the end “is this the power of siege?”
Yeah
He spends a lot of time calling various people cucks - like calling out these 6+ armed guys who had a plan to go shoot up some commies but got arrested on the beach or some shit
The Turk is immunized against all dangers:
one may call him a scoundrel, parasite, swindler, profiteer, it all runs of him like water off a raincoat. But call him a cockroach and you will be astonished at how he recoils, how injured he is, how he suddenly shrinks back: 'I've been found out
He said "imagine if they just shot the cops and then left and shot the commies"
It's a good book though for exploring the faults of various things like the Alt Right, or personalities like Richard Spencer - as well as some devil's advocate of Charles Manson and WACO
Oh and I almost forgot James Mason is also a pedo
Well I don't know about that but I think his general view is that 16+ is fine
I don't know that he's into like toddlers or whatever
He was arrested for it
That’s one of the things they charged Mason on aside from having weapons
I don't remember the details I could be wrong
