Re: Trumpism

But I think that, at least according to your definitions, that I would be termed a racist. I much prefer to term 'race-realist' though. But my overarching concern is not body-type. It is ultimately relationship to *our civilization*. It is not mean-spirited (at least in my case). But my notions are ...

Re: To compare is to judge?

The 'Wall' thing. My view is that 1) Walls are effective in certain areas, especially where there are no barriers. 2) But the larger issue here is not the wall or a wall. 3) The larger issue, and whether Trump understands and believes this I cannot say, but the larger issue is to begin a process of ...

Re: To compare is to judge?

Given that you use the concept "paternal" right in your quote, is the answer not obvious to you? (I think you failed to grasp the sardonic humor in that paragraph. Oh well . . .) You have no way nor means to understand what I mean when I speak of paternalism. Please keep in mind that I si...

Re: To compare is to judge?

I don't and refuse to attempt to understand the religious/other significance of moving an embassy to a place. Well then, you need to do a bit more research.

Re: To compare is to judge?

But more: it feeds into certain near-apocalyptic fears. A profound disquiet. I think it fair to say that you show how this functions, how it can capture . You blend a group of apprehensions together and charge them with reactive energy . Lots and lots of people are involved in this. It is a mental ...

Re: To compare is to judge?

As to climate change, I start from this position: I have noticed that *experts* are not to be trusted. Because the information has to be assembled, given a narrative structure, and disseminated. It seems to have become just another trope that is sent out. This does not necessarily mean that the scie...

Re: To compare is to judge?

That's all pretty much illusion these days and it seems like you're harking back to a world of past centuries long gone and just want the myth to be true that it's still alright, rational and good-willing, like some semi-enlightened civic, civil society there which the wise can build upon and impro...

Re: To compare is to judge?

I do not interpret Trump's coming as the coming of evil as does David -- why? -- because it is solid reasoning to reason that because the shadow world of idea-fixation is caused, that it is meant to be, and because it is meant to be, that it is good and only good (real, true, has purpose). David is...

Re: To compare is to judge?

Just as most who post here (and I dare say, the enlightened ones of the world-at-large) are thoroughly committed to letting go of what that term means. I think ‘they’ are far more interested in recovering what it means. Since it does deal with masculinity and what that means. Enlightened ones of th...

Re: Trumpism

. . . according to this definition of Cultural Marxism, it is a first world 'social construct' (etc.) and hence opposition to it is also an instance of Cultural Marxism. I do not think that is a fair conclusion. I think 'Cultural Marxism' is a reference, well or badly conceived, well or badly under...

Re: To compare is to judge?

The issue is not of a lack of difference in political talking points with SJWs, but of the inability to properly connect whatever wisdom one has to one's perspective of the current state of the world. On that account, there is no difference between calling for Steven Pinker-esque utopias driven by ...

It’s a direct description of what an enlightened person experiences. No resistance in any aspect of his life. His every movement flows without impediment. In contrast, the average person is permanently locked within a state of frustration, misery and fear, which means that his every movement has to...

Funny, I am just now reading Greg Johnson's The White Nationalist Manifesto . A specter is haunting the world, the specter of White Nationalism. Trump, Brexit, Le Pen, Orbán, Salvini: white identity politics is on the rise. Even though the entire political establishment, Left and Right, is committed...

Re: To compare is to judge?

But I do believe quite strongly that wisdom in some person ultimately can't be pinned down, and the only way to really know it is to experience it for yourself. I can see that you genuinely believe that there is something seriously immoral happening here, but it's just not so. Wisdom being *pinned ...
