@Sriadobada not necessarily a bad thing
the complicating issue is Salafism, and that Saudi projection of Islam is what appears strongly in the zeitgeist
certainly in a western perception
Wahabism?
yeah pretty much
more than that, but yeah, pretty much
these people have broken with tradition, though they seem very extreme
they are like the christian puritans in a sense
To keep culture alive sometimes you have to be extreme
The extent to which they control marriage and relationships is designed to keep the kafirs out. Whether these practices are agreeable or not I will leave to others.
all modern jihadism stems from these ideas/people
Kuffars I think is the term
that's just normal human behaviour I think, keep the outgroup out
kafir singular, kuffar plural
all human society, including the west, controlled marriage and reproduction pretty strictly
parentally arranged marriage was the rule even in the west
In my opinion the West has lost its way
Like completely off the beaten path
yeah
unfortunate
or destructive
Funny thing is we were warned
Kruschev said they would destroy us from within
Arranged marriages in the west crossed tribal lines. The unromanticized truth is that they are a strategic game game who's goal is to maximize family's social status and estate. It is on par with OKcupid empowered one night stands in vulgarity and materialism.
where's the equivalence
an argument to distinguish would be that jockeying for material advantages for a family in a marriage from which many other benefits flow to other aspects of the social fabric is different from a pure-sex arrangement that captures no benefits to any aspect of society except corporate judaism
hang on
what is wrong with a match for status, estate etc.
and compatibility
this is materialism of a different sort than sensate hedonism
Two examples of vulgarity that come to mind is that the materialistic concerns see the upper castes looking beyond their tribe to secure a larger estate. There is of course famous cases of inbred houses. The effect trickles downward as the rigidity of caste places and upper limit, encouraging such things as cousin marriage. Nevermind that at the level of the married man and woman that they were denied participation in the usual modes of primate courtship.
