Was Romanticism the death blow to Western Civilization?

>>1852060

Sure. That or whatever other -ism you feel like is just not your cup of tea.

no, jews were

>>1852060
I wish I would get a dollar everytime western civilization died.

>>1852060
The "western decline" discourse has been used for all of recorded history. It's not dead and will never die.

Dumbass

Romanticism gave us Nationalism

>>1852099
what is dead may never die

>>1852060
Romanticism is awesome you insufferable pleb. It was a reaction against the enlightenment rationalism and bourgeois materialism, drawing inspiration from the Middle Ages, Christianity, folk tales, etc. it looked back at the origins, hardly a revolutionary movement. The responsible for western decline was the very thing that romanticism rebelled again, materialism and progressivism. In other words, OP is an ignoramus, and probably homosexual.

Idiot.

>>1852139
That is not dead which can eternal lie

>>1852060
Romanticism was the one of the most important influences in modern Europe, giving us nations, brought our attention back to the roots of our cultures and softened the coldness of the enlightenment. It is also the base of our modern understanding of art and nature. And it gave us the best music and art of all times

Materialism is a cancer, heathen.

>>1852195

The things you claim killed western civilization are the only reasons western civilization is superior to non-western civilization.

>>1852060
Romanticism was a reaction to the death blow to Western Civilization.

>hardly a revolutionary movement

In addition to industry, materialism, rationalism, etc. Romanticists rebelled against traditional authority and religion. Some of them were literally political revolutionaries.

Fascism was all about brutality and the occult since before they even called it fascism.

>>1853424

It's no surprise that the original fascists were pro-semitic

nah.

i'm sure people said the same thing about egypt, mesopotamia, rome/greece, mesoamerican civilisation etc.

>>1852060
The World Wars were the killing blow.

>all major powers go to war over a rigged Ultimatum and alliance system
>10 million die for relatively little in terms of changes on the front line
>The Austro-Hungarian, German, and Russian Empires fall

>the major powers go to war again
>all available resources and manpower are dedicated to rapid conquest and mass killing on unheard of scales.
>all continental resources are exhausted in one 5 year campaign
>every single power involved is either crippled forever or outright falls except for the US and USSR.

It's honestly incredible there even was a USSR.

>WWI 2,840,000 to 3,394,369 deaths
>Russian Civil War ~3 million deaths
>WWII 26,000,000 to 27,000,000 deaths
>Communist policies (agricultural collectivization) 2.5 to 7.5 million deaths

Don't forget the impact all this waste of human life had on society.

We can thank it for postmodernism among other things.

Thanks for the sophisticated response.

Idiot

Good job starting a sophisticated thread, idiot.
If you aren't OP, good job posting in this cancer thread.
