the past was very moral
public executions
<:Chad:476653434637123584>
greek homosexuality
public flogging
this reminds me of that episode of Bullshit!
about those who think the past was so great
The west must be destroyed
Islam gang am I right?
ahamdelelah
But the point about the past is that although it had many errors it's errors were not being morally degenerate, no one idealizes the greeks for being queers or the brutality of the dark age. They idealize the moral purity which was in many ways an illusion but it still stands as something worth pursuing.
` it's errors were not being morally degenerate`
I just listed them
your latter point is correct
that you guys don't idealize those aspects
at least, some of you don't
Take the puritans for example
then play that game with today
idealize what's moral today
and ignore what's not
But they were still fucked up. Most traditionalists ignore how truly terrible the past was but they don't want to return to those things simply because it was tradition.
yes, there was a subset of westerners at a segment of time that fits your larping
I don't even know if that's true
I don't know enough about puritans
They were very radical protestants who settled in America
but let's assume they were "pure"
Same people who burned witches
The Puritans
more like
the gay fags
rt
I am not saying you are wrong
I am saying that traditionalists don't idealize the past as whole but rather certain aspects of the past
"tradition" is then a big misnomer for it
why create a new label
for what's just called "conservatism + christianity" in the south
the south is gay and all the girls here are getting blacked
the real reason this retarded larping crap exists
is because these are really enazis
who want to give their bs ideas a moral frame
