Why does everyone in the West have Roman and/or Greek fetish?
Most names we currently use are Roman or Greek in their genesis and more often than not not because Greeks or Romans actually coined them, but because a person that created the name used greek or latin to sound cool and sophisticated...
>>
'enlightenment' larping
>>
Maybe because our ancestors were conquered by the romans and latinized? Dumbass.
>>
>>24826246
Because they're cool.
Also -- do you know what 'literature' means?
>>
west is best, saar

Maybe she just wouldn't parse it, but I desperately want to send Kaitlyn Katsaros a copy of Bataille's "Erotism" or "Histoire de l'œil" to see what she makes of it. Judging by her interviews she doesn't seem the sort to have read a book like that in her whole life yet she embodies his ideas perfectly, and if she could stick it, I wonder if she'd have a greater appreciation for its contents than the middle-class academics who have less first-hand familiarity with the sort of topics he writes about, for whom it's all a purely intellectual exercise.

western culture springs from roman law, Greek philosophy, and Christian religion
>>
>>24826246
because europeans have no literate culture of their own and even christianity is heavily rooted in greek and roman thought
>>
>>24826246
It's the rejection of philosemitism and the Jews behind it and perpetuating it, like your pic related.
>>
>>24827327
*English common law
Even I as an anglo hater concede this, they came up with the least niggerish legal standard in human history. Too bad they don't follow it anymore
>>
>>24827307
I don't think Kaitlyn Katsaros reads dude
>>
>>24827828
I don’t think you do because he just said that and it’s just a paragraph.

>>24826246


IT IS NOT FETISH: IT IS HERITAGE.
>>
>>24827327


NO; CHRISTENDOM DOES, HISPANICAL CIVILIZATION, IN PARTICULAR; «THE WEST» IS FOUNDED UPON COMMON LAW, GERMANIC PHILOSOPHY, AND HERETICAL IDEOLOGIES.
>>
>>24826246
Because German fetishism is banned by the UN for aiding and abetting war crimes

Do you really think this larp is going to be effective at doing the things you want it to when you're literally posting in a thread about a woman who has a video where she stuffs her mouth with cow manure?

>>24827828
That's what I'm saying, it'd be interesting to try just to bring together two subjects who operate in the same arena but from completely opposites ends of the lowbrow/highbrow spectrum, titillating juxtaposition, completion of a circuit. Katsaros is effectively an erotic, aesthetic performance artist whose work deals in the expression of limit experience. At the same time, it evokes something of geological process, cosmological balance or economy... She's spoken on her Twitter of how gross and extreme paraphilic sexuality counterbalances the ways she's affected by suffering from OCD, and in my opinion, ultimately her career amounts to a vindication of Bataille's ideas and her way of living as emerging from a shared and true strand of experience - in practice, not only in theory. Honestly as pornstars go she's a fascinating woman, she does dirty shit outside of her porn, in her everyday life, so it isn't just for the money or for men. She's a wacko but she wears it with much grace.

YOUR QUESTION IS CONVOLUTED AND LOADED WITH PRESUMPTIONS.
>>
>>24826246
Is this a Taoists first day as an international student question? why would two highly literate ancient societies that were so influencial their ideas, dialectic, way of looking at the world is still relevant today be interesting to we who inherit their legacy? I'm anti roman larping and I even I recognize they philosophical thought and art they left.

>>24827379
I must be the only non Anglo hater on this board because its in my best interest not to be.
>>
>>24828018
hispanic civilization is nothing more than an offshoot of French civilization
Christendom was Constantinople, and the Latins having sacked it, were subject to destruction by the Anglos due to the wrath of God.
Also the Britians were the first to arrive to the Americas, not Colombus. Therefore all 'latin' american countries will be put under the yoke of AMERICAN power, by the grace of God

That's how cultural heritage works.

Kind of like your faggot OP
>>24827340
This isn't true. European culture is a blending of Greek+Roman with Norse and Germanic culture.
>>
>>24828800
>European culture is a blending of Greek+Roman
ok, northern europeans have no culture of their own
> blending of Greek+Roman with Norse and Germanic culture.
so blending a culture that isn't theirs with primitive tribal nonsense that a nigger could have come up with and isn't culture in any way? ok retard
>>
>>24829199

You either know this isn't true and are being a faggot on purpose, or are legit retarded.
