The less Christian something European is, the more Christian it is
>Marxism? Ignore that it's an atheist movement founded by a Jewish man who wrote verses praising Satan. It's totally Christian because uhh...Christianity is kind of egalitarian. Ignore that Christianity is in fact an elitist religion which believes in a small "elect" and could only be said to be SPIRITUALLY egalitarian, while Marxism is a completely materialist philosophy that denies there's such a thing as a spiritual realm.
>The modern West? More Christian than ever. Why? Uhh BLM or something. Ignore that it's a product of atheist Marxist-influenced liberalism and that no Christian church before 1960 ever taught anything similar.
>Yep, Christianity is life denying religion. Ignore Humanae Vitae and all the other life-affirming teachings throughout the centuries.
>Yep, Christianity is a cucked pacifist religion. Call up Charlemagne, Bohemond of Antioch, Ferdinand of Spain, Basil II and the countless other great Christian warriors and tell them they weren't really Christian and were just martial because of the pagan residue left over in their societies.. Sorry!
I'm convinced they've just formed an image of the "true Christian" as some 4th century pacifist Syrian monk who castrated himself and lives in a cave and claims that anything Christian that does NOT fit that image that is not "really" Christian.

I'm not denying that, but they have different imperatives and contexts regardless. It's lazy thinking to assume they're completely identical.

I've had a terrible life. Whenever some tragedy happens to me, there's always another one. Then someone kicks me when I'm down. I fall, I get up, I fall, I get up, even if I have the urge to give up every time. I still have fighting spirit in me, despite everyone almost always working against me (sometimes I only retrospectively understand that), despite all odds being against me.
I am damaged. I am broken. I cry every night, in pain from what is happening to me and what I cannot change. What I cannot undo.
Still, I feel the need to get up and fight. I know I will never change the past or ever be happy, but I still try.

Search for Murder Mystery authors. That's esentially the genre of each Danganronpa trial. The most known ones are Agatha Christie and Arthur Donan Koyle (Coyle?)(The Sherlock Holmes author). I guess the most similar is Agatha Christie, she follows Knox rules, and has a novel named "ten little niggers" where 10 people are in an island and one of them starts to murder everyone.

Danganronpa is also based on the novel Battle Royale.

This. They are literary fiction. Moorcock, in his bitter despair against Tolkien and other authors, ended up just creating a forgettable series without much merit which is incapable of being either literary fiction or commercial fiction.

Not for Nietzsche. And not for Wagner either. They both explicitly described Christianity as bringing something new to Europe and believed that new 'something' was embodied in Parsifal. You have to disagree with both Nietzsche's and Wagner's assessment to make these claims.

How to read Ecclesiastes? Here he says the dead are better than the living, and then later he says that the wretched living are better than the good dead. It seems full of contradiction. Is it just going through viewpoints the preacher at some point has held and declaring each of them as vanity?

The Cosmological Argument covers both a finite and infinite duration cosmos, which you'd know if you actually knew the argument. And I disagree that causation requires that there was/will ALAYS be a temporal element. Indeed, current scientific thinking refutes you with certain quantum effects having zero temporal delay.
You argument is unsound and thus fails.

Its been 8 years, get over it losers

Before Heidegger, Junger, Devi or Kaczynski, there was Wagner in the battle against technology. In his revolutionary writings, Art and Revolution, The Artwork of the Future, Art and Climate, Opera and Drama and A Communication to My Friends, Wagner formulates a critique of Western civilisation in which technological supremacy, with its corresponding artificiality of culture, are seen as an inevitable climax to the departure from Greece. As the solution, he endorses a return to the Greek evaluation of Man, and a return to Nature revealed to us in great art. In his 'Regeneration Writings', Against Vivisection, Religion and Art and Know Thyself, Wagner advocates for a de-Judaised, Buddhistic, vegetarian, esoteric Christianity. Modernity is now seen as a climax of a larger metaphysical evolution from a golden age, many thousands of years before Greece, to our present dark age, which must either end in extinction or salvation. In it he advocates for a religious evaluation of Nature which might save us from our technological world-dominion and its abuses of said Nature. Ernst Junger makes use of the imagery of Wagner's Ring:

>They know neither Greek myths nor Christian ethics nor French moralism nor German metaphusics nor the poetry of all the poets in the world. Before the true life, they are only dwarfs. But they are Goliath technicians – thus giants in every work of destruction, where they ultimately conceal their mission, that they ignore as such. They have a clarity and unusual precision about everything that is mechanical. They are confused, stunted, drowned, by all that is beauty and love. They are titans and cyclops, spirits of darkness, negators and enemies of all creative forces. Those who can reduce millions of years of organic development to nothing by a few meager efforts, without leaving anything behind that could equal the least spring of grass, the least grain of corn, the smaller wing of a mosquito. They are far from poems, wine, dreams, games, hopelessly lost in fallacious doctrines, articulated in the manner of pretentious professors. Nevertheless, they have their mission to accomplish.

And what does Alberich's ring represent, if not technology? It gives man omnipotence, reduces nature to a resource, and turns living beings into a means to an end. In Nibelheim is the most profound portrayal of capitalism. Through these myths, Wagner portrays the future of our own civilisation.

Bumping for interest. Wasn't Nietzsche also against technology in a similar fashion?

It’s the 80s. It’s New York City. And life in the Big Apple is one mean and dangerous place. Crime is at an all time high. And out here there’s a man that would like to think of himself as the biggest and baddest dude to ever grace these streets. One Michael "Madboy" Connelly. A real brawler, a real womanizer, a real player, and a real prick. Just an all around bad boy. But he’s got his story, that of a newly released man that's planning for revenge, against those he believes had set him up and had him sent to the slammer. But that’s just one man’s story in a bigger story. There’s also a man in the city that’s been all over the TV, that everyone’s calling "The Big White Head." A mysterious man with a lot of power, that plans to start anarchy. Start what he’s proclaiming as "The Age of Rage," leading to all the gangs on the streets to rise up and try to wipe this city straight off the map. Between Michael "Madboy" Connelly, The Big White Head, and The Age of Rage, it’s gonna be a hot time in the city, tonight.
