>anti-individualistic and anti-collective
Okay do you believe in self sacrifice then?
Also I'm reading over your about page on the website and coming up with these questions
>pointless extremist positions
Okay so you're advocating for being lukewarm but not compromising? Or am I not understanding the wording your writer used?
Hmmm
This platform
These articles
The style of wording
All very similar
@༺པརབྱར།བསངཇ༻ since I personally know you I don't keep any notes
@Exilarch Would you like to answer my questions or are you not one of the proselytes here?
sure I could answer
what questions exactly, the ones above?
Yes
I was just curious if you kept them
Exilarch do you happen to be Russian
Or Eastern European?
no
okay, reading questions
1. the naming, "nihilism" "realism" "transcendentalist"
I can explain these if you want
2. anti-individualistic and anti-collective
yeah this sounds retarded, that's a binary choice. The only third way I could see would be individual commitment to a shared task without necessarily caring about the collective. Ex; all muslims caring about furthering Islam more than about muslims as a collective
3. pointless extremist positions
which?
Conservative is a very misleading word for what you're describing
keep in mind through this conversation that I am affiliated with brett stevens but I do not believe exactly as he does
I'd describe my worldview as space nazi FLDS
we already agree on #2 it seems like, so let's tackle #1 and #3
the name of the worldview it seems is first
the "nihilism" is referring to the vijay prozak definition and idea of it, which boils down to ignoring human interpretations of reality and human framing of how reality is (ex: "glass is half full" type crap on a more subtle level)
getting rid of human assumptions about how reality works
that's the "nihilism"
"transcendental" in brett stevens' usage seems to be about having an ideal higher than what currently exists and pushing yourself and society to embody it
good example would be the japanese having a zen ideal and pushing for it in everything
you're right, that is the opposite of conservatism, i.e. "conserving" something
you can't conserve and push forward at the same time
brett stevens uses weird mutually exclusive definitions that seem engineered to capture all corners of the right wing spectrum and justifies their coexistence using kabbalah-like logic
the way I see it, the fundamental pillars are "society needs to stop bullshitting itself on many fronts," "society needs to demand standards," and "society needs to be entirely white"
the rest of the terms are window dressing to me
Nihilism is like inverse solipsism
This is like....the best takedown of traditionalism ever https://youtu.be/aHze0SqB5Zg
say that to a black person irl
