little bit of nepotism, certainly used office to further himself

hard to argue with the results desu

Not perfect. No politician can be perfect, it's anathema.
But seems like he was an exceptional politician of the late 20th century going by the little I know of him.

Aquinas removed all doubt from me

Excellent work OP. Now the next step is to understand that God was fully incarnate in the person of Jesus, and accept him as your Lord.

Confirmation bias from reading Kant, you've blown my mind- his philosophy is tripe, re-read it

If you were a NEET in ancient times you were homeless, rich, or dead. If NEETs lived like Diogenes in an authentic rejection of consumerism then I would have some respect. That's often not the case though, they are usually the worst consumers of all. Buying video games, anime figurines, and weird Japanese sex toys with their parents money. They're lazy and afraid and have doting parents, that's all.

Diogenes.

There's nothing counter-cultural about hedonism and consumerism.

Being a monk is actually a job. They have to help do various jobs to keep their monastery up and running. I would consider it a sort of education/employment/training, so they're definitely not NEETs.

Standard Sultan/Pharoah harem shit.
Roman Legionary getting rewarded with female barbarian slaves.
Crusader being seduced by an exotic arab beauty while fighting for the Holy Land.

Plus, the whole >>1364150 mighty whitey thing.

I'm glad to know I'm not alone in this particular sort of autism.

>American indian abducting European settler girls
>French Republican soldier ravishing nuns during the dechristianization of France
>French noblewoman prior to the revolution with a harem of peasant girls
>Red Army soldier having his way with German girls during the last months of WWII

In more recent events, I also had a sexual fantasy about the Columbine massacre once.

It has always ended then

If eternalism is true, does that means my consciousness will never go away and I will continuously experience my (awful) life over and over away?

Fuck

>Do we "die" every time we go to sleep?
If by that, you mean lose consciousness, yes.

>>1381159

No. I mean subjectively 'die', and never wake. As in, the person who wakes up is not 'me'.

>>1381167
No, we don't die.

Eh, he might be right depending on the time and place.

Homeric Greeks and Late Romans were very chaste

wilhelm reich

Some of them were.

Rome at its best was ruled by an elite that followed Stoicism. Greek philosophers in general were not very hedonistic.

But he is wrong about the Barbarians. Some of them were actually praised by contemporary Roman writers for their chastity.

Not necessarily.

Taxation is a membership fee for living and/or making money within a nation state. While it is preferable that all members have some say in negotiating this fee, it is sufficient that they simply be allowed to leave if they want. The fact that I can't haggle when buying bread at the supermarket does not make its price "theft," since I can just not buy it.

It would have been extremely difficult for the colonists to have a say in British parliament and whatnot because of the distance.

Breaking away from England was a mistake and done for the wrong reasons.

Most Brits paid higher taxes and still had no representation.

Oratory style fad. Recordings of Hitler talking normally sounds surprisingly normal.

You mean that only recording ? He was probably forcing himself not to sound like a little bitch desu

First of all introductions to philosophy have value and they have to be adjusted as time goes on and trends change.
Second of all, they all publish articles and books etc..
And of course, like in any field most are just average while a few are groundbreaking.
Reinterpreting older texts is how philosophical writing works because your arguments nees to be linked with previous writings on the subject.
You cant just start writing shit as if you invented the whole of philosophy.
All "important" philosophers reinterpret older works or reinterpret arguments fomr older works at one point or another.

Im amazed at the desire to criticize philosophy of all fields while not even understanding what doing philosophy means.

>>1379294
Criticizing the academic process of tenure-seeking with bullshit papers is valid but you have to understand that it's a problem in literally every field, even the hard sciences. One thing about philosophy it seems, and some thinkers like Schopenhauer have pointed this out, is that you don't need to be knee-deep in a university to publish something influential.

So when you have kooky outsiders like Zizek who don't spend much time in a traditional academic environment it can make the folks in academia look bad.

Probably everyone. This is why judging every detail of the lives of past figures by modern moral standards is idiotic

>>1379247
>Probably everyone.
Darwin seemed like a descent fellow. Change everyone with the majority and I agree.

Voltaire stands out for me since he supposedly preached values while at the same time saying racist stuff that contradicted those. Please correct me if wrong, don't wanna check if true.

You stop posting and do something enjoyable instead.

Don't take yourself too seriously.

>>1378895
Just stop replying and don't visit the thread again. At least that's what I do.

Oh, you can also post smug anime girls

War was always brutal, now the upper and middle classes, who could write were sent to war.

>>1378647
Upper and middle classes always went to war. Leave your kindergarten class politics out of this.

>>1378619
trench warfare and all of it's horrors(skin literally slipping off your foot if you kept your boots on for too long).
Massive casualties and death more indiscriminate and industrial in scope(great soldier? oops, he just got killed or horribly maimed by a round or machine gun bullet. Next!).
disturbing weapons(poison gas, machine gun)
War more ideological.
