/lit/ - Literature

Why would I want to live in a tolerant society? Why would I want enforced sterilization of culture?
Nobody would be allowed to have an authentic culture with their unique and unpolluted views on human purpose, the human condition, norms, etc. Not just superficial crap like clothing and cuisine. But the fundamental difference in understanding of the world that exists between disparate cultures.
You’d have to dilute every culture to rid it of its “radicalism” which is just its spiritual core.
But radical is a relative term.
Wouldn’t there be some ambient or “implicit” culture that exists in the background anyway? Like a sort of secular humanism that is nowadays considered the “default”? But consider that medieval people thought that orthodox Catholicism was just the “default” and anything else was radical.
So really Popper is full of his own shit. Even his tolerant society is going to enforce conformity.

Hello /lit/, I come to you as a "raised-Catholic" man of little faith. Per my interest in reigniting religious fervor within myself, I've recently been doing a deep dive on Christianity. As I believe is the case with many Christians, I am only interested in following the 'correct' form of Christianity. This path first led me to ""Traditional"" Catholicism and, eventually, to Sedevacantism. I find "Sedevacantist" Catholicism (aka: Catholicism) very tempting to subscribe to, as it should go without saying that the current "pope" is a heretic, and not actually a pope at all. There are many reasons as to why this is the case, which I shall leave to be explained by my betters, but I digress. That all being said, there is a serious, existential problem with the Sedevacantist position that is obvious even to an untrained, practicing, and nigh-on faithless man such as myself. I am hoping that somebody here can properly explain to me why my belief is not correct.

Here is the question I always ask...
>"What happens when the final living, correctly-ordained member of the Church dies?"
...And here is the answer I always receive,
>"The Church is immortal, it cannot die because its immortality is guaranteed by the promise of Christ."

This non-answer is extremely troubling. Usually, it comes delivered by the mouth of some Ned Flanders lookalike whom has no solution for the unprecedented, bureaucratic predicament which the true Church currently finds itself embattled with. When pressed as to how we can resolve the current bureaucratic predicament of the Church, so as to prevent the Church from dying, said individual usually answers by denying that there is an effective solution (or else not providing one/ denying that it is our job to provide one,) snorting a line of cocaine, and faithfully proclaiming that "God will do it for us." Besides being utter horse shit, I interpret these answers as effectively creating a timeline, at the end of which we will either see the complete destruction of the Catholic faith, or the literal end of the world.

I'd want a book about the amazon townsfolk. Especially the fortune teller and the blacksmith girl.

Be careful. You'll end up like me and so many others here, as the evidence piles up in front of you.

I was a shitposter when I first came to /pol/ for some "epic Nazi trolling" and, within a year, found I agreed with about half of what was discussed. By the end of the second year I was indistinguishable from the rest.

The terrible truth of /pol/ is that it's as liberating as it is horrific.

You lie to yourself less, but you begin refusing to accept the lies from others - even well-meaning others. Your personal relationships with the few people you can stomach to be around, will suffer and degrade under the stress of the constant need to suppress your power-level.

In the truth you'll be sickened at the world, yet constantly drawn to seeking this same truth. It's a counter-"hugbox".

/pol/ is the hurt-box.

Instead of locking out reality in your "hugbox" like a progressive, you'll force yourself into this hurt-box on a regular basis. /pol/ is a self-inflicted and intellectual masochism, as the price of placing the truth above all else.

You could have prevented this.
