>>25584950Most rich people are not "brown" anon.
>>25585005>liberalism failed because people are too rich???
>>25584950we can make it work. trust me.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RBYsQE4Pxb4&ra=m
>>25585012>???Liberalism pretends to be about emancipation and all things to do with freedom, but it was soon obvious that it was simply about the liberation of the merchant class from the crown's control. That domineering entity got it's head chopped off in the French revolution with the help of the people who themselves didn't understand what this was for. The "middle class" merchants became as wealthy as the monarchy. Soon had to content with working class people who had discovered the con. The new money liberals have spent fortunes that the working class made to fight that very working class back so they could keep power. Blaming the failed liberal project on "browns" is to fall for the racial division tactics set out for you as distraction. You're like a trained seal.
>>25585053I honestly don't care that rich people exist, anon
>>25585062How about that they kidnap children to rape them and eat them? You don't have any so it's just okay?
>>25585067Poor people also rape children, it's not a characteristic exclusive to the rich.In any case it's not clear why a broke virgin should care more for family havers, love havers, sex havers, friend havers etc. than money havers. I don't see why money havers are uniquely evil in this equation.
>>25585080Next you'll equate fist fight between poor people with global warsYou're a piece of shit unworthy of life. NSA agent or not.
>>25585168You're dodging the question. Why should I care about rich people and not sexhavers? Could it be that you're a sexhaver yourself?
>>25585188Because it suits leftists political agendas to only be mad and focus your frustrations on one group of people while simultaneously condemning you for doing the same against a group they like
>>25584691I have liberal conservative beliefs but it frustrates me how much these guys mingle with racist far righters.
>>25585024>picReally fooled the goyim with that one. Your electorate believes he will lift a finger for the Palestindus yet he’s cosy with every archkike in the city. Why are protesters still getting arrested on campus?
I’m fine with having less than my neighbour if it means not being surrounded by brown people.
>>25584691Every time this gets posted it's obvious the dumbass OP didn't read past the title
>>25585213>be mad and focus your frustrations on one group of people WHOARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THE MISERY IN THE WORLD"Leftists" are great like that. Not IDpol brainwashed fake lefties, but the so-called class conscious ones.
>>25585053People like you are the reason why I unironically believe that I have a right to hunt the poor for sport.
>>25584691"liberalism" is the most propaganda-poisoned term in human history at this point. somehow the definition went from "more freedom less government; laissez-faire markets" to "totalitarian rule by blue-haired commie psychos."
>>25586225>somehowlol, lmao. Yeah, it's a mystery how that happened.
>>25585053Marxism has never been right about anything. Let it go.
>>25586230obviously the long commie march through Western institutions has worked, but it's really shocking how effective the bait-and-switch has been. I always cringe every time some republicuck boomer on Xitter complains about "those damn liberals!" and unironically doesn't realize the legacy of classical liberals like Thomas Jefferson has been stolen and co-opted right before their eyes.
>>25585722>Not IDpol brainwashed fake lefties,I have never met a single "real leftist" who actually rejected the "idpol" shit. They claim to be different, but when pushed, espouse all the same basic beliefs as the SJW.
>>25585053>but it was soon obvious that it was simply about the liberation of the merchant class from the crown's control ... The "middle class" merchants became as wealthy as the monarchy. Soon had to content with working class people who had discovered the con. Was it really a con though? The working class you admire so much didn't really exist until the merchants created them by the explosive force of their revolutionary ideas and activity in seeking out profitable investment opportunities, and then hiring people to work for them so they could make a return on those investments. Marx agrees with me, the Catholic Mexicans weren't doing anything with those territories. The centralistas wanted independence from Spain so they could run things themselves but in the same old-fashioned style with a parish church in the middle of it. That's literally counter-revolutionary in the classic meaning of the term, not as in "we just want to return to the old order," but a revolution that reproduces the forms of the old order like back in the feudal world in which they came.
We already have a thread about liberalism just use that
>>25585722>WHOARE RESPONSIBLEI agree, whores are responsible
>>25586211>He says this post-Epstein scandal You really ought to be killed for being this deranged.>>25586239You are half right. His study of economics is still valid, but his political thoughts have been dogshit. I side with Bakunin. "Let it go"? No, faggot. This goes far deeper than you think.>>25586313>the working class didn't exist without mehmehmeh kiss the ring.Nick Land sneer-shit. Some people want to do techno-feudalism, but the machine will devour us to the last if we don't remove capitalism. Without capitalism the machine become benevolent, along with everything else that capitalism corrupts. >>25586272>Social justice is so bad.
>>25584691Humanity isn't ready for freedom
>>25584691Liberalism failed because people suck
>>25584691Im guessing you didnt read it
>>25588032That is why they require a strong Sovereign and God
>>25584768Haha funny! Do you mind if I share this on Instagram?
>>25587997Said one LAZY, SICK, DEGENERATE, minded MINORITY, who have spent their whole existence in reducing humanity to lesser beings.If you aren't in their very exclusivist circles you are a toady of theirs. They will never lift you up much less grant you freedom.Disgusting simpery >>25588032Wrong. It fails because these people >>25588128 arrange for it to fail before it was ever a reality.
It is a curious irony that the liberal, who professes to have cast off the altars of superstition, has merely removed the relics of the old church and installed in their place a new idol, no less jealously worshipped for being invisible: to wit, Reason herself, canonized, beatified, and attended by a priesthood of philosophers who mistake their own certainties for her pronouncements. The French Revolution, the foundational event for liberalism, did indeed witness the emergence of an openly proclaimed Cult of Reason. The error lies in viewing this phenomenon as an aberration rather than as a fundamental expression of the ideology's intrinsic structure. The liberal has not abolished faith, he has only changed its object, and in doing so, has forfeited the humility to confess that man is fallen. Hubris serves as their downfall. Observe the method of this high church of Reason. It does not proceed, as true reason must, from the patient observation of man as he is -- quarrelsome, self-deceiving, swayed by appetite, capable of great sacrifice in the morning and petty cruelty by nightfall -- but from a postulate of man as he ought to be, a bloodless abstraction, consistent in his interests, benevolent when informed, and rational when unconstrained by propaganda or prejudice. It is not reason, but a facade, a wish for what man ought to be according to his ideal image were he to play the role of his own creator.
>>25588576This guy again? You're a guy who writes like an aristocrat to distract from the fact that your arguments are just reheated Sunday-school sermons and Fox News dressed up in 18th century larp
>>25588590That I write with ornament you allege as though it were an indictment; I confess it rather as a courtesy, for truths too plainly spoken are too easily despised, and a moralist who dresses his matter decently does his reader the honour of supposing him capable of attending to more than a grunt. But let us examine the substance of your charge, stripped, as you would have it, of all pomp and embroidery. Indeed, I am Christian. I will not quarrel with the genealogy. A sermon is only an argument that has had the fortune to be useful to many generations of fools who needed hearing it, and the misfortune to be despised by one generation of fools who imagine they have outgrown it. That a truth is old is no refutation of it. It is a new nobility, this nobility of the unlettered mob's imagined champion, and like all nobilities it is chiefly concerned with pedigree. I have never found that truth consulted a man's income, his accent, his ethnicity, or his audience before consenting to be true. Contrary to a common misconception, I see no objection to the truth being voiced by individuals who do not meet strict criteria of lineage or class position. I am neither a racialist nor a proponent of a rigid aristocracy. I am a monarchist and a conservative traditionalist, and I attach great importance to understanding the project we have inherited. If a populist author such as the Fox News yellow press had said something sound, I will credit them, if a prince has said something false, I will condemn him with no less severity for his crown or title.
There it is my own personal hell. All this trite drivel to communicate truth is truth regardless of station and I honor your intellect with this wall of text. Just shoot me.
>>25588608lay off the anglo saxon texts, sheesh
>>25585053>it was soon obvious that it was simply about the liberation of the merchant class from the crown's controlwrong, liberalism supported constitutional monarchy and found itself on the opposite side of the french revolution
>>25588608Henry James ass
>>25588641>>25588637>>25588667I see. I must have been mistaken. I had thought this was the Literature forum and that we were men of taste and discernment. That the whole of this exchange should proceed from a society professing itself devoted to Literature and Philosophy is the finest jest in it; for I have observed that men who gather under a signboard are commonly those least able to supply the commodity advertised within. A coffee-house that must announce itself to the world a temple of intellect has generally little else to serve. It is an old principle, and I commend it to the proprietors of such establishments: he who has read deeply speaks of books, and he who has read nothing speaks of Literature. To hang the name of Literature over a door through which nothing passes but abuse is to practise a species of false advertisement which, in trade, would bring a man before the magistrate, and which, in letters, brings him only an audience. I do not blame you all for being unlearned; ignorance is the natural condition of mankind. I, instead, blame you for having chosen, out of all the mediums in Christendom, to be ignorant precisely where ignorance is most conspicuous.
>>25588717Yes, its much more sophisticated to passive aggressively cry a forum doesn't deliver pretentious fart huffing even though the word literature is right in the name. Thank you for the blog.
>>25588717all this to say you're a reactionary who refuses to let go of a dead emprie
>>25588759Britain laid the literal and figurative foundations of modern global commerce. A tad more than a measly minor empire, no? One is routinely forced to endure the tedious, historically illiterate moralizing of individuals. I shall continue to defend that noble inheritance.
>>25588637welcome to the post-AI internet. in 30 years most people will be functionally illiterate
We need to systematically dissolves the boundaries between governor and governed. Power is fluid and temporary. Societal governance must be deeply tied to collective joy.
Why was my post about brown people destroying liberalism (which is objectively true) deleted?
>>25588873I believe in Dionysian democracy
Both capitalism and socialism have been captured by parasites who seek to kill the European race and any seed of it.
>>25589047I don't know if you know this but Europeans have been killing each other since a second European.
I reject the notion that liberalism has failed. Frankly claiming such a thing is absurd. The liberal model remains the fundamental benchmark for success.
>>25584702All deserved except for Copernicus who caught stray because of Galileo drama.
>>25589365De revolutionibus orbium coelestium was never widely censored. It's a myth.
>>25589376I know, it was for a moment on the list though.
>>25589376>never widelychristkike pilpul
>>25589385It wasn't, retard. Go look it up. Also, Galileo was censored because he basically did the equivalent of sending a company wide email with the header "THE BOSS IS A FUCKING RETARD...LOOK HOW RETARDED THE BOSS IS--I NAMED HIS CHARACTER 'RETARD'" after being told to add a disclaimer. Bruno was executed because he did the equivalent of preaching Scientology while his region was surrounded by religious wars. The conflict thesis was debunked over 100 years ago. Fedoras are generally uneducated outside of YouTube pop-sci videos.
