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`

2019-01-07 14:46:02 UTC  

I just listed them

2019-01-07 14:46:18 UTC  

your latter point is correct

2019-01-07 14:46:28 UTC  

that you guys don't idealize those aspects

2019-01-07 14:46:38 UTC  

at least, some of you don't

2019-01-07 14:46:49 UTC  

Take the puritans for example

2019-01-07 14:46:50 UTC  

then play that game with today

2019-01-07 14:46:55 UTC  

idealize what's moral today

2019-01-07 14:46:59 UTC  

and ignore what's not

2019-01-07 14:47:01 UTC  

they were not pedos, queers or other things.

2019-01-07 14:47:38 UTC  

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.

2019-01-07 14:47:46 UTC  

yes, there was a subset of westerners at a segment of time that fits your larping

2019-01-07 14:47:50 UTC  

I don't even know if that's true

2019-01-07 14:47:55 UTC  

I don't know enough about puritans

2019-01-07 14:48:11 UTC  

They were very radical protestants who settled in America

2019-01-07 14:48:16 UTC  

but let's assume they were "pure"

2019-01-07 14:48:18 UTC  

Same people who burned witches

2019-01-07 14:48:21 UTC  

The Puritans

2019-01-07 14:48:23 UTC  

more like

2019-01-07 14:48:25 UTC  

the gay fags

2019-01-07 14:48:26 UTC  

rt

2019-01-07 14:48:31 UTC  

I am not saying you are wrong

2019-01-07 14:48:49 UTC  

I am saying that traditionalists don't idealize the past as whole but rather certain aspects of the past

2019-01-07 14:49:10 UTC  

"tradition" is then a big misnomer for it

2019-01-07 14:49:31 UTC  

why create a new label

2019-01-07 14:49:51 UTC  

for what's just called "conservatism + christianity" in the south

2019-01-07 14:50:03 UTC  

the south is gay and all the girls here are getting blacked

2019-01-07 14:50:14 UTC  

the real reason this retarded larping crap exists

2019-01-07 14:50:22 UTC  

is because these are really enazis

2019-01-07 14:50:35 UTC  

who want to give their bs ideas a moral frame

2019-01-07 14:50:38 UTC  

Because it is not about simply being a conservative but preserving certain traditions in a new era

2019-01-07 14:50:44 UTC  

and so they call it "traditionalism"

2019-01-07 14:51:02 UTC  

poll 20 of these "trad" faggots online

2019-01-07 14:51:06 UTC  

It has more to do with ideas than actual practices

2019-01-07 14:51:25 UTC  

how many will end up nazis or something close to it? 19 of 20? 20 of 20?

2019-01-07 14:51:34 UTC  

Trad nerds are despicable creatures, I know. They are hypocritical and often times just edgy larpers.

2019-01-07 14:52:06 UTC  

`It has more to do with ideas than actual practices` which is precisely why it's larping

2019-01-07 14:52:06 UTC  

But traditionalism exists outside of a few larpnazis on the internet

2019-01-07 14:52:29 UTC  

Not everything that doesn;t involve activism is larping though

2019-01-07 14:52:51 UTC  

everyone I've spoken to on here, who is "trad", was also a nazi
