read Baudrillard

i dont need to. if he supports this nonsense then i know its nonsense

why should i waste my time with a broken clock?

he doesn't support this "nonsense"

then stand on your own feet and give me a counter

I'm relying on his theory of form and how that relates to culture

thats the laziest discourse to say "read _____"

true

but i am lazy right now it's 2am

culture is the transmission of simulacra

truth and beauty are the only ultimate goods worth pursuing

"creativity" is as much of a deception as "equality"

could you pick any more abstract and loaded terms

look i'll hem and haw with you about this another time

any useful societal "Ultimate Good" is necessarily abstract and loaded. It must resonant with every individual in society.

i moved furniture today

so i am not fit for intellectual discourse

you must be exhausted, i didnt know tribesmen ever lowered themselves to manual labor

Jews were mostly agrarian labourers before the Romans scattered them across Europe

I can produce one right now

hold on i gotta print the pages from that particular chapter in the book

the entire book is too big for discord

what book?

https://www.amazon.com/Good-Evil-Impact-Course-Civilization/dp/1568332351

posted it in serious

written by a descent of John Adams

for all the >a jew probably wrote this people

it deals with the history of Jews in Europe in a very balanced way

the chapter is called Jews on the Road to the Final Solution

@otterlycorrect there is only one sentence that mentions jews were farmers in antiquity, and the rest of the paragraph explains why they avoided farm ownership in the middle ages (hint: it was harder for jews to hide their stolen profits as real estate than it was to hide gold and other mobile property)

but WHY did they have to hide gold

dont gloss over that important detail

anyways im off to bed

because they had no authority in nations that werent theirs?

any ethnic minority deals with the caprices of the ruling class

historically

I dont think that acting in self interests is evil, which is what jews are doing in hiding gold and making money and starting ventures and so on. But, its in their self interest to weaken the host country, and trying to subvert a culture and be again and again linked with attempts to degrade a culture to the lowest forms and aspirations is one of the most despicable forms of evil. Jews are historically and still especially in modern times linked with such endeavors. There are few other races that intentionally try to lower the standard of the culture and society they are living in. This is the creative destruction you jews are known for (and apparently self-consciously celebrate), and what i take issue with.

And i should add, this is a key reason i support the existance of israel. Jews are a people group, its true. Being leaders of a society comes with benefits and responsibilities. All jews should live in israel, and build a society for themselves. Then you can see whether you want to subvert your own culture. See what schemes you will want to enact against your own people. See how much money you can make charging your countrymen usurious rates. Then come talk to me about being a victim.
