we can at least embrace that we're the counterculture, and try and make the most out of it

2020-03-29 05:42:11 UTC  

our culture romanticises rebels and those who move against the grain

2020-03-29 05:42:26 UTC  

something that we can only exploit

2020-03-29 05:43:15 UTC  

I don't think our culture romanticises rebels per se

2020-03-29 05:44:29 UTC  

I think it does as a byproduct of a high level of individualism

2020-03-29 05:44:47 UTC  

and liberalism

2020-03-29 05:45:49 UTC  

but our culture doesn't seem to appreciate rebels regardless of their motives

2020-03-29 05:45:59 UTC  

case in point, conservative or far right rebels

2020-03-29 05:46:15 UTC  

I mean some do

2020-03-29 05:46:46 UTC  

because our culture isn't a liberal hive mind, there's a decent split of conservatives and liberals in the world

2020-03-29 05:47:54 UTC  

yes

2020-03-29 05:48:03 UTC  

I suppose a better way of putting it is

2020-03-29 05:48:36 UTC  

at least in western culture, but it's probably fair to say in most cultures, we respect and admire someone who is willing to fight for what they believe is right

2020-03-29 05:48:54 UTC  

especially, when it means that they personally have something to lose

2020-03-29 05:49:27 UTC  

it's putting you as the individual second to a moral code, that has a sort of sacrificial element.

2020-03-29 05:49:43 UTC  

if they fight on our side sure

2020-03-29 05:49:55 UTC  

I don't know that we're willing to cheer on rebels who fight contrary to our interests

2020-03-29 05:50:03 UTC  

of course

2020-03-29 05:50:09 UTC  

but if you're an accelerationist

2020-03-29 05:50:16 UTC  

you would probably cheer on any revolutionary

2020-03-29 05:50:28 UTC  

that is not my position necessarily though

2020-03-29 05:50:35 UTC  

yeah but our culture isn't predominantly accelerationist

2020-03-29 05:51:10 UTC  

yes most people don't support accelerationism

2020-03-29 05:51:25 UTC  

my point earlier was most people admire someone willing to put themselves second to a cause

2020-03-29 05:51:40 UTC  

noooo come on

2020-03-29 05:51:54 UTC  

only if the cause is something they're on board with

2020-03-29 05:52:01 UTC  

ok

2020-03-29 05:52:12 UTC  

but you don't have to be in support of the cause, to understand they're making a sacrifice

2020-03-29 05:52:51 UTC  

honour can exist on all parts of the political spectrum

2020-03-29 05:53:11 UTC  

but it's probably emphasised moreso under a nationalist, fascist, right-wing authoritarian worldview

2020-03-29 12:08:04 UTC  

You cant honorably take somebodies shit, execute them and ship the family to a prison labor camp.

2020-03-29 12:11:47 UTC  

Assuming the holocaust was real.

2020-03-29 12:12:03 UTC  

That's NPC tier mindset dude.

2020-03-29 15:26:24 UTC  

<:really:591181753625083905>

2020-03-29 15:27:22 UTC  

Holocaust denial can usually be obliterated in 60 seconds

2020-03-29 15:27:59 UTC  

Try it

2020-03-29 15:30:24 UTC  

Alright boosty

2020-03-29 15:30:33 UTC  

Do you believe that camps existed?

2020-03-29 15:31:13 UTC  

It's been 60 seconds

2020-03-29 15:31:38 UTC  

Well it's not fair if I can't get a response in time come now <:bruh:591181809493082113>

2020-03-29 15:31:55 UTC  

If this were over voice then I feel confident we could end this in 60 seconds
