Are there any good ethical arguments on why violence against Judith Butler shouldn't be encouraged?

>>12981769
Paglia is the cooler testicle'd fem theorist

>>12982671
Paglia is just an energetic boomer

>>12982677
And Butler is a lethargic boomer, what's your point?

What destroyed Western civilization was turning our backs on religion. Without God, the foundational values that society rested on, we have fallen into debauchary and wickedness. Democracy divorced us from the Divine rule of Kings, and foe the top down our institutions fell to modernity. The filth that filled the void is the mere symptom of our ailment, not the prime mover.

This, the western civ meme is just americlaps trying to appropriate a whole bushel of cultures and history wholesale

>>12982773
Unironically this, but I think democracy is fine as long as you keep the voting to the able minded males choosing a King. The fall started when we have women agency.

As for the real issue defining issue: the ecuminical pagan-infused Catholicism or the direct lineage of the Apostles, the Orthodox Church

The idea that religion keeps the 'filth' at bay is revisionist nonsense. People were always engaging in debauchary and wickedness, its just much more openly and publicly explored in the contemporary (digital) age. Institutionalising morality doesn't work towards promoting it if you exert control over the population through ceremony, confession or indulgences, and can absolve them of their wicked deeds simply by being a good christian (though not a good human being). the 'divine right of kings' is part of a history which makes it a precursor to our present state of decay, regardless of how you're making the inductive leap from one to the other, so to absolve it of any responsibility seems incoherent and naive to me.

>pseud academic publishes her nonsense theories at just the right moment, after decades of social ferment and centuries of civilisational decay have made her views profitable, makes a significant impact
