@Tonight at 11 - DOOM this so hard
why not? It implies there is something inherenly 'English' about the ideas of locke
The german mindset #notall #culturesnotraces #diverse
and inherently 'German' about the Kantian philosophy
Well yes the ideas of locke were first adapted and spread from England
so?
i only know the bavarian mindset, which is very territorial (and rightfully so)
I think what Sargon argued that the German culture, on average, is more susceptible to authoritarian ideologies than the 'English culture'
So stop nitpicking on fucking words lmao
But this thing @Αγωνιζῆς is saying is EXACLY what I criticized the video 4 in the 1st place in the post that started this discussion...
Which also requires strong evidence
He's being unclear and fags will take it that way
@Monstrous Moonshine evidence that I feel like he's provided
He's being generally rather uncouth about his way of presenting this point
which does not invalidate the point
Like I wrote in my original wall of text it connects a lot of dots about contemporary politics and behaviours
just means he hasn't discussed it with many lefties to learn how to make it stronger against their efforts of delegitimizing it
If their efforts of delegitimizing it are bitching about not saying #notall that feels like they can't debunk it to me
We'll see if there's any large scale response soon
For instance he's taking the British national narrative as true in the historical sense (which it is manifestly not) instead of saying that it informs British thinking and self-image enough to be a social reality regardless of being a historical reality
But as Sargon also stated it was these ideas that helped move Britain away from authoritarianism
We must find new lands from which we can easily obtain raw materials and at the same time exploit the cheap slave labor that is available from the natives of the colonies. The colonies would also provide a dumping ground for the surplus goods produced in our factories. Cecil Rhodes
Yes and?
I mean, I don;t even believe in the validity of the label "authoritarianism" tbh, so I cannot really comment on the validity of his stance on that without going into a rant
Having read the histories of other countries, I saw that expansion was everything, and that the world's surface being limited, the great object of present humanity should be to take as much of the world as it possibly could. Cecil Rhodes
Yes and?
Rhodes was woke
And having these ideas meant Britain moved away faster from Rhodes' ideas than they otherwise would have
I contend that we are the finest race in the world and that the more of the world we inhabit the better it is for the human race. Just fancy those parts that are at present inhabited by the most despicable specimens of human beings what an alteration there would be if they were brought under Anglo-Saxon influence, look again at the extra employment a new country added to our dominions gives.
Cecil Rhodes
Like being one of the first to abolish slavery
And pushing for its abolishment worldwide
Empire was racial IMO
And?
and a living exhibition of Anglo supremacism
You say that like having an idea means you have to get it right from the first year of your existence
That's not how things work
It ended up being racial
England hasnt always been a bastion of tolerance etc
britain pushed for the abolishment of slavery when she could profit from it, dont make it seem like they gave a shit
about the slaves
