>The prevailing views of the world are only the prevailing views because that's what the people with power want.Was he wrong? He's not justifying might makes right, he's just telling it like it is.
>>16801734I hate this photo so much.
>>16801734No, people with power can only do so much, otherwise revolutions would not happen. Also a top down structure is not always what happens, great example is America, poor black culture is borrowed by tye middle class and even the rich.
>>16801972>Muh revolutions.The entire mythos of "the people rising up" and the hoi polloi reaching some breaking point and storming past the army and police into the government buildings is itself untrue and almost has never occurred in history. "Revolts", "revolutions", and "rebellions" are almost always the middle-strat of a particular system, usually with some sort of link to the police force and army, receiving outside funding and weapons, using the hoi polloi as useful idiots.

>>16801734people with power dont create all of the discourse,but they certainly take the existent discourse and adapt to make it toothless against them and everybody agrees because take the raw version and the changes they entail would mean going against the stream

>>16802141the letter didnt support pedophilia. They wanted the same consenting age for heterossexuals and homossexuals.the law made a difference.
>>16801734The prevailing views of the world are pretty similar cross cultures. The family unit is what dictates the prevailing views of the world and everything is oriented around that structure. And for good reason, for the majority of people, that's the people they're going to be surrounded by for the majority of their lives and oriented your morality and views towards whats generally good for you and your family is probably a good thing. Secondary to that is making sure that the society (or tribe) as a whole does all right because and unstable society is a threat to the family unit.
>>16801734Depends on what the "want" part means.I think most of the time there's no active effort trying to direct it, but it's rather just a consequence of hierarchies.
>>16801972Revolutions are not the mass of people rising up, they're a minority of elites within that mass that take on the elites of whatever system they're replacing. ''In reality the dominion of an organized minority, obeying a single impulse, over the unorganized majority is inevitable. The power of any minority is irresistable as against each single individual in the majority, who stands alone before the totality of the organized minority'' - Mosca The unorganised majority is a tool for the organised minority, it isn't able to will anything on its own
