>Scruton first embraced conservatism during the student protests of May 1968 in France. Nicholas Wroe wrote in The Guardian that Scruton was in the Latin Quarter in Paris at the time, watching students overturning cars to erect barricades, and tearing up cobblestones to throw at the police. "I suddenly realized I was on the other side. What I saw was an unruly mob of self-indulgent middle-class hooligans. When I asked my friends what they wanted, what were they trying to achieve, all I got back was this ludicrous Marxist gobbledegook. I was disgusted by it, and thought there must be a way back to the defence of western civilization against these things. That's when I became a conservative. I knew I wanted to conserve things rather than pull them down."[4]

>What were the Paris protests of 1968 all about?
FULL COMMUNISM, NOW.

In particular the discovery by French students of the wage relationship in the production of higher skilled labour power.

UN demanded French people actually bathe and they werent having any of it

Read his book. Great read, besides the part where he talked about doing bullets.

Care to explain?

No. What a monstrous society soulless international capitalism has created.

I've never considered myself a right-winger, but I'm really beginning to wonder if the Industrial Revolution and the Enlightenment weren't the worst mistakes in history.

>entertainment that would've been considered witchcraft not but 100 years ago

People 100 years ago would not have considered computers, modern televisions, or other forms of contemporary tech witchcraft. Neither would people 200 years ago, for that matter.

Yet we have plentiful food, shelter, and entertainment. Do you really believe that man can only be happy if he enjoys occasional victories in his persistent struggle against nature?

Or are you just an unhappy person?

>>786390
Kind of. Billionaires are still more balanced than kings, we have lots of food and a large variety.

Learn to interpret what you read.

>>789801
Learn critical reading skills, read the peer reviews of works you read

Just learn about history that boring enough to put any agenda on it.

It's common knowledge that katana is the best sword in the world and could easily cut through armor.

This. Some katanas can even cut thru diamond, the hardest metal known to man.

Korea is pretty shit. I'm not sure many people realize how shit Korea was.

Judaism is less universalist.

It's more exclusive, has a bunch of hard to follow rules, gets all ritualish

sand people felt more at home with a leader that was a pedophile like them.

As a Catholic, I can't help but be sympathetic. I've read Aquinas in the De Malo. I've seen his arguments that lending money at interest is a mortal sin, and I'm sympathetic to them.

I wouldn't have any problem ripping up the global financial system by the roots. It seems to have done more harm than good, on top of being innately sinful for all involved.

>>787281
Do you think the Catholic Church could do something similar?

>>787422
Oh, yes, I think it could.

The consequences might be dire, though. Popes and cardinals could be assassinated. Can you imagine how furious the global financial system would be if the Church proposed an interest-free alternative to it? People could die. People WOULD die.

I still wish they would do it. Francis would be the pope to do it, but I wonder if even he will.

How revolutionary and progressive.

>>787148
Well it was pretty progressive for the 1770s.

War of independence. The end result was just an oligarchic pseudo-democracy, where the same landed gentry that had power before the war, had the exact same, if not more, power after the war.

I will never fucking understand this American obsession with blacks, they're like what, 15% of the population? That's fucking nothing. Yet somehow all has to be about them and they're constantly the focus of fucking everything.

I mean compare this to Russia, where about the same percentage of people is muslim, but you never hear Russians talk about hidden muslim history, cram token muslims into their movies, commercials and music and just be fucking obsessed with them to no end.

>>787065
I have a Russian friend who won't stop talking about Chechens. To be fair, he believes in crazy conspiracy theories about them and Vladislav Surkov

Americans are all about representation. Be it in government or in media. If they aren't represented they will revolt either militarily socially or politically.

Christian end-times mythology says that the Jews returning to the holy land is one of the events leading up to the end of the world, and eventually, the second coming of Christ.

>>786183

One time, a group calling itself the "Friends of Israel" wanted to speak at our shul. Not doing too much investigation, I at least only found out they were a Christian Zionist group when their guy started talking.

From what I remember, they believe that the second coming requires the antichrist to do something or other, and that a Jewish state needed to be around as a backdrop, I think to either fall to him or oppose him or something.

It was a long time ago, and he was being vigorously boooed, so I don't really have a firm grip on their position: but I'm pretty sure it's grounded in a perception that a Jewish state is needed for Christian prophecy.

>>786183
There exists an Israel today because there were British and American christian zionists working on it for decades, if not over a century.

It is ponderous that christians will monetarily support the rebuilding of the temple, which can do nothing but give the impression that once the Jews have a temple again, and start sacrificing animals again, they can go right back to their Old Covenant practices and be.....condemned still.

Ponderous.

At any rate, from what I understand, the third temple is ready to be erected and filled and staffed with a moment's notice.

Wait, shouldn't you be telling us, you know, you being the scholar?

You know anything about their relations with Sargon of Akkad after he butt fucked them?

>>786113
I want to, but I wanna engage the learners emotionally, so I wanna present them stuff they care about. Nobody gives a shit about agriculture, so obviously I can't go and be like "they were so agriculturally advanced you guys! seriously, look at those awesome irrigation techniques! wanna read 500 lines about organisation of crop farming?"
but at the same time i'm a huge sumeraboo so i don't know if people give a shit about enki, god of wisdom, and how he first had sex with his daughter and her incest daughter and again for seven generations and then ejaculated so hard he created the tigris with it. so i ask what people actually care about.

>>786114
that's actually a nice topic. first, sargon tried to assimilate them, then they rebelled and had another 300 years or so of sumerian rule. most texts are from that time because they felt their culture was in decline, so they started writing down all of their songs and oral hymns, just so later generations wouldn't forget them. then a local sumerian governor rebelled and fucked everything. then more rebellions happened again and again and then there was babylonia
