Dugin's position is conceptual combination done at an undergrad level. There are many ways to perform it, for example:
you learn about about rationalism vs empiricism, and you think "but what if there was a new form of thinking... that combined the elements of both?"... or, you learn about aristotle and marx in the same semester and go "but what if there was a way to have virtue communism, that would blow all these CORRUPT ethical systems out of the water"

This is exactly what Dugin does. He aims at a "fourth" political theory, the draw of which is that it's not any of the big 3 - capitalism, marxism, fascism. Sounds interesting? Well, like a 19th century American cart vendor, he will peddle the most well developed and interesting theory in the world, just wait and see! Negatively speaking, it takes the best parts of all 3 big mistakes, and throws out the crap that didn't work. He doesn't go into too much detail about exactly what this is, he just kind of asserts that this is a good thing in many ways. Some of these ways are that it stands against "corrupt american post modernism".

Positively speaking, he aims for pan-traditionalism under a Russian yoke. The motivations for this are anti-postmodernist, "pomo erodes all traditions". But according to Dugin, all the traditions can live together, as their own, separately, under the wing of one tradition-protector, Russia(and somehow, this is NOT a pomo notion he is advancing)). He gives some supposedly Heideggerian notions to defend this, but he's just taking "Blood And Soil" doctrine that happens to also be in Heidegger's work, as proof that traditions are firm elements in the world.

All of this could easily be said as "Russia should be a global imperial power, bottom text". Dugin's sole purpose is to be the guy that rationalizes all of Russia's decisions, kind of an eastern, slightly more mystical Rawls

technically you dont have to be poor to be a socialist, but you do have to be resentful and low-self esteem, attitudes which are bred only through poverty.

realize that socialism is a means for upper middle class people to obtain more power for their own ends (and has nothing to do with the welfare of povertyniggers). the socialist leaders of america realize this, and do not unironically subscribe to the ideology (which would require them to be low self-esteem and resentful, something that leaders typically are not)


if you want proof of resentment and low self esteem being necessary for unironically being a socialist, look no further than these posts. >>19926865 reads like ALL LIFE IS SUFFERING and you MUST HELP OTHERS. Does he not resent being alive, and hate himself? None of his solutions suggest any kind of self-love or self improvement.

more easily this guy >>19926905 , unironically only capable of hating.

Fuck your 20 words. Attic Greek had a very loose word order, so words would take on different meaning based on their context (moreso than english).

Logos meant that someone was speaking, but would also be used to refer to a conversation/dialogue. Logos was elevated to the status of many different technical terms, many times. Its use in philosophy is dependent on the authour using it.

Long focus blurs the sight

Blistered feel walk further

A woman is a cucumber: best pickled, often left on the vine, sometimes from the backyard

The stomach has eyes too

the crisp apple requires you too

i am hungry for something that can never enter through the mouth

This prose screams "I AM A USELESS CHILD", and it's consistent, so it's not particularly bad writing.

But, I'm not sure if it's your classmate's unironic internal voice, or the female tendency to see pathetic/destitute people/animals as childlike in order to make a woman empathetic to that. Either way, it says a lot more about her than about anything else

Instead of testing individual hypothesis and tweaking them as we experiment, we should build a Frankenstein's monster of hypotheses and smoosh them together at the lowest common denominator. I fucjing love science
