upholding social standards is for faggots who have nothing going for them except for the social status they inherited.
focusing on expressing your material wealth and social status over anything else is shallow and screams of insecurity.
real fashion is charismatic and interesting and real men focus on practicality in their fashion choices.
at that time in history, there was nothing interesting or practical about their choices, so it fails on all fronts.

You are so right, modern men are the most successful men in history in cuckholdry and other effeminate matters such as androgeny, it is indeed terrific how the modern man is so practical.

correct.

>>17102629
never said modernity was a template, i simply reject the generic and impractical full suit + top hat as peak fashion and masculinity. there are far more interesting, charismatic and practical outfits, ones that are made with real men in mind, not the useless bourgeois who sat on their arse collecting coin. a suit outside formal occasions is just gluttonous overcompensation. have some taste and character for once, i dare you

'What the English call “comfortable” is something endless and inexhaustible. Every condition of comfort reveals in turn its discomfort, and these discoveries go on for ever. Hence the new want is not so much a want of those who have it directly, but is created by those who hope to make profit from it.'.
- Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, 'Grundlinien der Philosophie des Rechts (1821)'

Think about that the next time you keep prettling on about old fashion is 'uncomfortable' and new fashion is and, ergo, 'better'.

Suits/overcoats/streetwear peaked in the 50's in both aesthetics and utility, but got killed by the simplistic shirt/jeans of the greaser due to it's similar comfort and accessibility to the everyman compared to a well tailored suit
as media seeped further into our lives so did the perspective that the look of the average joe was more attractive than someone who could wear tailored clothing recreationally

'Although we affirm the technical achievements of our age, we see behind them an intellectual strength that grows from the roots of our people. Machines are a means to an end, not an end in themselves. As much as we appreciate the achievements of modern civilization and use them to improve life, we know that they are not the sole meaning of life. There are national values that are the result of centuries of history and tradition. They cannot be purchased, only built by the labor of generations'.

'Not curiosity, not vanity, not the consideration of expediency, not duty and conscientiousness, but an unquenchable, unhappy thirst that brooks no compromise leads us to truth'.

'Philosophy is by its nature something esoteric, neither made for the mob nor capable of being prepared for the mob'.

'The fate of the Jewish people is the fate of Macbeth who stepped out of nature itself, clung to alien beings, and so in their service had to trample and slay everything holy in human nature'.

how is that not an explanation of the quote you spat out
now explain where im wrong in that interpretation, and explain how it supports your "argument"

going back i notice that in your haste to quote people you dont comprehend you also missed the point of my initial argument where i rejected modernity as a template, so your whole position that i believe new > old is bunk anyway. forget hegel, you barely understand me

'Young people get the foolish idea that what is new for them must be new for everybody else too. No matter how unconventional they get, they're just repeating what others before them have done'.

>>western fashion in 1821 was exhausting, shallow and born of capital greed
>how is that not an explanation of the quote you spat out
What the fuck are you even on about?
It's very fucking simple: 'comfort' is 'inexhaustable'.
The argument that fashion should be comfortable is very much a profitable meme because comfortable clothing is cheaper to make than fashionable clothing. So the cultural gene that 'comfort' takes precedence over anything else, in fashion, is social engineering by clothing companies.
