Values and philosophy are not arbitrary. The universal will eliminate destructive values without remorse.
Case in point: the current western culture has no future, and has garbage values, is openly racist, is anti-human, and has a philosophy of delusion as virtue.
The fact that western civilization is in collapse is not a coincidence.
The "universe" not the universal
What? Western culture is openly racist and anti human? πππ okey dokey
Yes it has become that, without question in my mind:
β’ Mainstream culture is openly racist are aggressively categorizes everyone in every social and political environment by their race, their gender, their sexual orientation, and then designate who is "good" or "bad" or who needs to be "punished" or "rewarded" based entirely on these attributes and nothing else. There are whole books detailing the hierarchy of power entirely in these terms. this is profoundly and explicitly racist and sexist. Its literally as perfect a definition of it as one can get.
β’ The climate change ideology is anti-human ideology that denotes any prosperity or use of energy for improving human life as a necessary and default evil without discussion or consideration. The presumption that cannot be challenged is that we must use less energy. Yet there is no metric more perfectly aligned to human prosperity than energy consumption. In every case the conversation is not about practical solutions, it's not about maximizing human flourishing, it's about this impossible and frankly childish idea that we must live on earth without any impact whatsoever. That the earth is in some perfect stasis, and any change should be the collective guilt of humanity.
β’ The endless entitlement and consumerist ideology is a consequence of the philosophy of being owed everything without work, without earning, without contribution. It is a socialist belief system built from narcissism, that someone else's life must be subject to the needs and wants of another. It is the philosophy of slavery and the rejection of individual rights: as one person somehow owns their own life, and the labor and productivity of another, while the other not only doesn't own their productivity, time, and choices, but by extension they only live as something to be bled for feeding those less capable. Every human becomes the burden of all others, rather than another individual to join and participate in a community. This has created the culture of excusing theft, of punishing self defense and excusing violent attackers, of crimes aren't really crimes, they are the needy getting what they deserve, of the redistribution of everything through the political means that destroys the very foundation of why a market works from the very beginning.
None of these values can survive. They are all antithetical to reality and will always, and have always, produced the social, cultural, and political fallout we are now experiencing, which is only going to get worse. If you had an argument as to why I am wrong in my interpretation of these and their consequences, I'm happy to talk, but I can't get much from clearly condescending emojis.
I donβt if you are really brainwashed or just live in a woke country but Please explain how An openly racist mainstream culture can give rise to black millionaires and billionaires ie black rappers, sport stars, entertainers, businessmen and even a President. Western culture must be doing racism wrong π
Dude, Iβm talking *about* wokism. Woke IS racism. And Iβm specifically referring to the βWhite Fragilityβ and explicit segregation from that group and stating the fact that this has been the dominant cultural force and has been politically coopted. As well as the fact that itβs destructive and hateful.
Funny enough, your immediate equating racism with only a particular racial dynamic (ie. Racism can only against black people) is actually an indication of just deeply rooted the ideology is. Theyβve managed to hide the painfully obvious and comical irony that racism *cannot* be race specific.
I think you are both jumping to conclusions and not reading my actual posts. Move slower & be less reactionary. I could apply those principles more often myself.
I respectfully disagree about the openly racist comment.
While many people are actually racist I believe that the vast majority aren't.
Unfortunately racism is a convenient tool for politicians to use to control the mattress.
I mean the mainstream culture. I totally agree it isnβt the majority.
Guy - East asia can be way more openly racist than the west, even though they can't even tell one asian from the next, i mean really just a few extra dark hair folicles in the wrong place and the wrong passport and wrong accent, oh me oh my its all over....its not half bad in the west at all.....
I donβt suggest there isnβt racism all over the place. For better or worse itβs always been present.
Also Iβm not trying to make a comparison as if itβs the worst on the planet. My perspective is less a concern from the standpoint of a static comparison, and more about the degree and direction of the trend. The speed we have declined into absurdity, authoritarianism, and glorified delusion is anything but comforting.
