I'm pretty sure I don't agree with chattel Slavery but I managed to get through Plato okay

Hellenic war based Slavery /=/ Christian chattel slavery, proof your retarded from being to immersed in the antinomies of modern thought.

>>13992396
Very good bait

>>13992396
Modern ideas build on the foundation of the old. The great thinkers like Einstein, Newton, Godel, Dirac etc. all explored what was known before challenging it.

What a retarded post. Any person with an IQ above 95 will have no problem understanding Confucius and Thucydides, regardless of personal convictions.

>I don't agree with chattel Slavery

>>13992599
But we have reach a point where modern ideas cannot be a continuity of the old ones but a radical rupture with the past. For the modern man, everything that was before him was pure barbarism

You can rest assured that if we ever bring back slavery /pol9k/ weaklings will be the first to go under the yoke.

Sure, if you are studying radical feminist theory courses named "all white men are evil" that is true. However in scientific fields you are completely wrong.

>>13992620
There will be a point in which there'll be no other courses BUT "all white men are evil"; and attendance will be compulsory.
This is because anon there is right; like a genuine Christian can't abide to blasphemy, so the modern leftist can't abide to anything previous to the sexusl revolution.

What would you use them for? What would you have them do that's economically productive and won't do yourself, weakling?

>that man doesn't reify the performative masculinity I was taught by cigarette advertising, he's bad

>>13992968
YES.

Manual labour is the only thing they are good for.

Is this from how to bomb the us govrnmt?

I doubt modern leftists are actually able to understand Marx or Foucault, so detached have they grown from the western culture that fostered leftism as an intellectual tradition. The modern leftist has the reading comprehension of Pavlov's canine subjects, conditioned to parse the text as fast as possible and performatively react with either #YAAAS or #cancelled

zoomers are reading Bronze Age Mindset

americans practice a sort of war on terror hermeneutics, were the text is seen first and foremost as a terrorist threat that needs to reported to the relevant authorities and promptly neutralised

>>13992601
Few do though, they might 'get it' in a textbook sense, probably a textbook that inserts a modern worldview into study and obscures or misleads, but so very few people are capable of understanding let alone appreciating alien worldviews and cultures in a completely honest and thorough manner. Leftist Westerners more than anyone else. Imo modern mentality and presentday Westerners are antithetical to openmindedness, empathy, and intellectual cultivation. Despite marketing themselves as enlightened and tolerant.

>>13992968
So this is the intellectual power of the left

>>13992968
Imagine unironically talking about the influence of brainwashing, but ignoring the fact that you use words like "reify," "performative," and "masculinity" that you gobbled up from the part of academia that was funded by the CIA.

You're not necessarily wrong, but you sound very young.
