How would the Doctrine of Fascism help restore these values to society?
Which part don't you understand that if wealth is a false friend against conventional wisdom, and that in the modern capitalist world wealth is placed above all else makes you think that people back then did NOT frown material wealth for the sake of it?
Because the conventional wisdom was that wealth is good
Which means it was not frowned upon
Now answer my question
Also the historical record shows that
No, go on. I want to hear you say it
I just did numb nuts
If conventional wisdom is more valuable in the face of material wealth what makes you think that people won't frown material wealth and by extension, modernity today?
What?
Go on XD
No dumbass, the conventional wisdom WAS that wealth is good
You're getting there
Get it?
That’s the entire conceit of the poem
The **specific** use of the word wealth in the context that the poem **needs to clarify** that wisdom is the **true wealth** and not material wealth
would they really frown on the world today? with all of our medicine and comforts
Right, the poem needs to clarify it, because EVERYONE ASSUMES THE OPPOSITE IS TRUE
Thus proving that in Norse pagan culture WEALTH WAS NOT CONSIDERED UNCLEAN
You stupid fuck
I'm curious as to where this line of reasoning goes. If modernity is bad, what do we replace it with
What do you think the point of the poem is
Honestly
Yes, it is because THEY HAVE PUT THIS WISDOM INTO THEIR POEMS TO ACT AS MORAL COMPASS
Dumbass
LOL
ok, now we’re getting somewhere
Why did they feel the need to do that?
Because else they were shun by society.
That poem is like the self help woo section in the book store today
And with Christianity, killed maybe
when a book says be mindful, they are saying you aren't mindful enough now
Else who was shunned by society?
likewise that poem is trying to tell people 'love your relatives, because you arent doing it enough now'
This poem does not coincide with Christianity in low Germany
You dont have to tell peolpe to do things they are already doing
if ayn rand wrote a norse poem, maybe they were being too pastoral and family-loving
but she came centuries later
The norse were great traders as well
they were the jews of europe before the real jews
They even had a merchant marine!
