It's ultimately an issue of meaning and despair, which *can* be solved in this way but it isn't the only way, nor is it a surefire way
I'm not seeing a secular movement solving the situation
Why does it have to be a movement?
Also tbh Peterson's talks have secular applicability
So we don't get a massive movement towards communism and death
What establishes the foundation for secular meaning to life?
Ultimately the individual does, to be blunt. But that's the case either way
So, self worship.
@Beemann Do you think secular people lean more towards socialism or individualism?
How is it self worship?
@grant I think it depends on the era, to be perfectly honest
Yay the world’s gonna be full of solipsists
Sounds awesome (not)
Politics has this weird little collectivist/individualist push/pull
On a weird sorta off topic note
Isn’t LaVeyan Satanism or whatever it’s called supposed to be focused on the individual
Why is still overwhelmingly overrun with socialist cunts
They’re _already_ pretty much worshipping themselves and the “base humanity represented in Satan”
@Beemann I do not. I think the numbers show secular people clearly lean towards socialism. Doesn't mean some don't lean towards individualism. If a larger number don't move towards individualism we get socialism/communism and death. Hence, we need a secular movement towards individualism.
What I think your average person wants is enough space to do their own thing without being isolated
So Nietzsche?
You can see that even amongst socjus tbh. They want people to let them be genderfluid otherkin, but they don't want to be otherkin on their own
Sometimes it means wanting to have other people pay for your stuff yes
Is that why transgender are demanding I suck their dick? they want to be left alone.
It’s like they want to be a part of something bigger than themselves but they can’t establish any real meaning because there’s no foundation for their it.
They want to be able to do their thing without the negative effects of a thing
They clearly do not want to be isolated
hmm so socializing their bad decisions. so much individualism
Well I think they haven't been presented with a convincing case that it is a bad decision
Oh because they also demand anyone questions it be shut down. more individualism
Individualism cannot argue against self harm effectively.
And what all powerful being do they demand do these things? Praise be government.
You say that like theocracies aren't a thing
We're not a theocracy
canada or usa
No, because the government decided to secularize
During the formation of both nations
Theocracies are a thing. Not all religions are the same though.
Praise be government. deliver me from these nazis. We need a singular one world government so everyone must worship and follow the rules I demand.
but Christians are just as bad right Beeman.
Buddhists too right?
Where did these goalposts go?
