i don't
The "weakness" he was talking about was altruism and egalitarianism.
well, ironically enough that is ruining Europe right now
people value nothing and want to conserve nothing
Mostly altruism.
well equality is a stupid and destructive idea
everyone will only be equally poor and miserable when that happens
*expect they won't*
People have taken "equality before the law" to mean "all must be equal in all things".
Soviet Union or our current society are really egalitarian and still we're no better off
instead men are pitted against women, whites against blacks etc
No, our current society is WAY better than the commies.
Pol Pot was right in that there would be no true equality if everyone wasn't the same.
His mistake was actually trying to go for true equality, rather than just pretending to.
i meant no better off compared to hierarchical societies
Ah, the days when Aristocracy had a legal right to other peoples' wives. If only we could go back to the glorious, just-as-good as today days of Feudalism.
ah, the days when men will lose the divorce settlements automatically because the judges are female and all of them are potential rapists
ah, the days when your race determines how much extra points you get in your SAT
ah, the days where you are not chosen to be a fire fighter because you are a part of historical majority
ah, the days when faggotry and deprave sexual acts are cherished and celebrated on public
Interestingly, divorce settlements have been getting less and less generous towards women in the US as of late. Coincidentally, right after this fewer women started filing for divorce.
Hmm, it seems there is disagreement on the custom existing in medieval Europe.
and a plethora of myths and falsehoods from that era
It is not known if it is actually a myth, unlike the hilarious modern idea of what medieval knights were like, or the idea that peasants had less work to do.
Leftists LOVE to harp on about how Peasants had it better than modern workers by pointing to their shorter hours, whilst leaving out the fact that these were necessary because of the huge amounts of labour that peasants required in their homes in the absence of modern conveniences.
A similar myth exists about a lot of hunter gatherers.
oh yes
No, I have absolutely heard leftists harp on that, read the articles.
the *muslims were more advanced than europe*
having killed every single great thinker and reformer they had
There was actually a period of great advancement that lasted until they did that, there was some Caliph that claimed science and math were creations of the devil.
And that backwardness has continued into the modern day.
yeah i remember reading how they killed their own golden age
That they once had a golden age and contributed greatly to our body of knowledge during that time does not actually imply their current cultures resemble it in any way.
They got fucked over by some moronic Caliphs and still suffer for it to this day, they never regained that greatness.
Kind of a shitty deal really, being relegated to intellectual backwater status is one thing, but the sting is worse when you consider that they had at one point been the centre of knowledge and learning in the world @Largezo112.
Fuck me, Amnesty International has given The Climate Omen an award. http://www.europapress.es/internacional/noticia-activista-greta-thunberg-gana-maximo-premio-derechos-humanos-amnistia-internacional-20190607074850.html
So if he breaks his leg can we put him down? Give him the old Nancy Kerrigan treatment?
