I'm sick of these sexually themed threads.
They work nothing good!
Renounce the flesh. Renounce the very thought of it. Renounce even reading about it. Masturbation, sex, what do they bring? Fleeting pleasure at great cost.

Pretty false, especially in early to middle/late modern Christian Europe, before the decline of Christianity. This is just a liberal myth. The only people having a lot of sex were pretty much seriously debauched aristocrats, and even then it was with prostitutes.

[Anonymous No.11624125]

>>11624098
the 1800s were quite literally when sexual degneracy started running rampant in western Europe, that is in part what prompted the Victorians with their now quaint social ideas.

Sexual openness seems to correlate with luxury, when people aren't close to death from poverty they start just abandoning all of the rules of sexual conduct that make things run more smoothly.

On the other end of the spectrum we have Africans eating dirt without the concept of paternity because of how orgiastic their sex relations are, but I think that might be a different conversation, seeing as they are in no way part of civilization.

i don't personally believe that, but I take the same position on it as i do with 9/11. If it came out that they were inside jobs I wouldnt be even vaguely surprised. I haven't seen any evidence for it so i don't believe it, but the idea that the US government would do those things is not even sort of weird, they do shit like that all the time, it's open for the public to read, and that is only the declassified literature.

We are almost always run by evil lunatics, theyre just good at rising in power structures, and there is no tribal mechanism to kick them out because their crimes are largely hidden in the immensity of civilization.

I learned how to lift at a small powerlifting gym. I’d see threads on /fit/ full of memes of people doing horribly stupid shit and thought “other than these guys being a bit overly serous about lifting they’re nothing like what I see in these threads.” Then I quit my job and went to grad school. Started going to the gym there. And holy shit there were so many memes manafested in real life I couldn’t actually believe it. I was floored. I realize now I was insulated from the stupidity of normal civilization. I feel this now too in daily life concerning the alternate reality we find ourselves in under this administration. It’s real. It’s not just street memeing and jokes anymore. The irony has worn off, but the acts and habits haven’t.

Definitely so. As cliche as it may sound, for me it's Burke who encapsulates much of my ideas. He is the starting point for pretty much all conservative thought. Beyond that, I'm quite interested in Carlyle and Eliot but other than those few I've only dabbled in a few other authors, like Chesterton. Contemporary thinkers don't interest me too much beyond Peter Hitchens.
