"man in the sky" is everyone's immature conception of God. It is how they are taught as a child, because it is the easiest analog for what God is. What is lost in the analogy, or rather what is misplaced about it, is that God is far greater in scope than what is conceivable for a human, so what is "unreachable" becomes the "sky" and it is obvious to anyone that God represents a creator, and that is where the "man" component comes from, and those two are reduced to "the man in the sky". Not many people surpass this conception taught them in their childhood.

2. Men have strengths women do not, and vice-versa. This is okay.
3. A pregnant woman is carrying a child.
4. Children, even infants in the womb, are alive.
5. Murder or infants is wrong.
6. You have to prioritize the well-being of your countrymen - all of them - over the well-being of men from other nations.
7. You will not have a stable culture with consistently high immigration rates.
8. Integrity, or strength of character, is more important than every other human quality.

This has definitely got to be up there. People are completely in denial about the effects of a population watching hardcore pornography everyday. I'm not sure why literally nobody on the left* views this as a problem, given the obvious objectification and commodification of women. And even on the right, anti-pornography is limited to religious conservatives (who are an irrelevant minority in every western country that isn't the United States).

At least with other modern indulgences like smart phones, everyone on the internet, etc. people are willing to admit there are negative consequences and dream up solutions, even if they'll never put them into practice.

The horrors of fascism and nazism. The problem is that people also were extremely racist, homotransfobic and anti-jews even the ones that called themselves anti-nazi, so, the ideology wasn't about no prejudice, was about going anti-nazi when they were the same. The war was about economy not ethic.
When the nazis were apparently gone (in economy) the "problem" also was gone, living behind the hypocrisy of hating nazis and also being anti-semitic.

That we are being restrained by the idea of 'Western-ness'. The West has gone through many metamorphoses as various ideologies wax and wane and should continue to do so naturally.
Only now have we been forced to make our culture frigid and stagnant through our belief that blind adherence to a poorly-mythologized past without a real understanding of it is the only way to preserve our current way of life.

Don't concern yourself with the West, concern yourself with what is right. Embrace tradition without being a parasite upon it. Revive the spirit of your ancestors by looking to the future as they did, not by remaining fixed upon the past as we are now.

A country's enemies, for the sake of that country's longevity, must be located outside its borders. Proximity of peoples from each other is the first item to be accounted for at the start of war, since it is precisely then when new borders are drawn over enemy lines. A society is always preparing for war, with or without being aware of this. If it ignores its duties before the starting shot sounds, it will perish at the end of an enemy who did not.

All you depressive (not actually diagnosed with depression, or any disorders) 16-23 year olds have become obsessed with preserving something which never existed. "The West". It's so fucking meaningless. Talk about your country, only you'd hate to actually become informed on your country. That would mean you'd have to participate, and no /pol/ isn't participation. No, just keep clutching your Bibles and hoping things will become epic like they were during the crusades. Keep wishing to be completely subjugated you fucking rats. Say to yourself the west is the best the west is the best well it used to be the best now it's like the rest. What a nice fucking excuse. Keep posting Ted threads without even skimming his Wikipedia page. Keep clinging to your infantile idealization of history, culture and ethics. You're on a fucking literature board, read some fucking books. Don't finish it and come make a shitty thread here. Read supplemental material and actually think about what you read.

And you could argue the opposite, that conservatism lacks mechanisms that prevent the deterioration of society via inequality and oppression. (I'm not a leftist, by the way, I just know that these things tend to be nuanced).
>Not living in an ugly, smelly, chaotic, violent, corrupt, low intelligence society.
I would also like to know how you define 'deterioration' in this context and how race is relevant to this.
These are in everyone's interests. And half of these are just based on your personal biases. Should we deport people based on attractiveness and how nice they smell?
>So not being exposed to 'multiculturalism'.
I don't think you know what this word means. The culture you were born and raised in was a result of the syncretism between several different cultures.
>If you're from a white country you have almost nothing to gain from being forced to live alongside with the type of populations that always make whatever society they are apart of worse off.
They don't always make it worse. We know that the places many immigrants come from have been historically more prosperous than European civilizations, so it's not an inherent characteristic of the people.
Barring extremities like France and Sweden, most countries are fairly strict with immigration and try not to accept people they know will be a detriment to that nation's prosperity.

It's not that certain races ruin other races by associating with them, it's that at certain times certain groups of people work more or less well together. Separation is not necessarily a bad thing obviously, but that belief can become a bad thing when it is predicated on the belief that there are things intrinsically wrong with a group of people who are primarily or totally at fault. There are only ever race relations because race has no imminent reality. No essence of being white but white in virtue of not being all the other races. The same is true of all identity because exclusion is its sufficient condition

>Canada, from what I experienced of it - is not particularly resembling of your description, despite being quite multicultural (just avoid the hood areas, but then again go a bit up north and those hood areas are filled with white-supremacist crackheads)
Having no-go areas to be avoided already qualifies your society as overly ugly, smelly, chaotic and violent. Canada also has a <100 average iq. As the immigrants gain in number and influence you can expect that to drop further and for corruption to increase as well as the other things mentioned.

Of course Canada is still a relatively tolerable place for a multicultural society but things are just beginning for you guys.

That's all nice sophistry but Somalians, for example, are barely sentient retards who make every place they go worse by any standard. Any place in the world is improved by decreasing the amount of Somalians and any place in the world is made worse by increasing the amount of Somalians.

There is no excuse for Somalians. Letting them live somewhere is always at the expense of the other people who live there. Your notion that there are no intrinsically wrong things with groups is way more dangerous than the opposite belief because it allows for Somalians to make places worse.

You're confusing leftism/communism with neo-liberal capitalism/corporatism/globalism. It's easy to make that mistake, because the neo-liberals have taken over the leftist parties and are exploiting their symbols.

No actual leftist/communist with a brain wants open borders and free movement of labor and capital. Perhaps open borders as some remote utopic ideal, but in practice they realize that you need a "closed" society to actualize the goals that benefit your working class.
Unfortunately, leftists like this are a minority nowadays, because, as I said, their parties have been subverted pretty much throughout the entire West.

I've been working on a little theory to try and explain some of the problems the west has come to experience. There is a contrast between community and world. In the old days, the community was small and the world was large. So for men, they could play an important role in their community, where they could easily be the best in the field by virtue of the community being small. This leads to higher fulfillment as you are providing a much needed service to your community at a level that is high for your community. However with the advance of technology and globalism the community has become large and the world has become small. This means that you're no longer expected to compete and produce in your small community but at a large scale. There will always be someone better than you and this leads to less fulfillment over time. Men like being needed and producing good work but if the community contains too many men then the average gets lost and begins to feel listless.

It's the idea of the Competition State. EVERYONE must toe the line and produce as much as humanly possible at all times in order to help the state compete against the other states. A person is thus defined by his capacity to help the state generate more economic growth and activity. A person out of a job or doing low skill work is dragging the state down.

He doesn't quite frame the problem in the sense that the community has grown and the world has shrunk though, but I do agree with his premise thanks for the recc!

>>12014108
Yeah, the problem is now that the community is large and so your potential competitor pool has increased massively. Men really just want to feel needed and appreciated for the work they do. However as the article mentioned above states when you compare yourself to a much larger population size the ability to appear good at something becomes nigh impossible for the average man. Thus the death of fulfillment in man.

When the world is large a man can always go outside of his community to find opportunities to succeed. However when the world becomes small there is no other choice but to act inside the large community which as stated above is extremely difficult to do at any high level.

In my experience (caretaking for the disabled and terminally ill), people who have lived with intense hardship since a young age have the most intense will-to-life to be found in all humanity.
I've seen young (mid-twenties, mid thirties), self-sufficient, otherwise healthy paraplegics make it two weeks into their injury before attempting suicide.
I've seen late 80s and 90s quadriplegics who had lived with their injury since early childhood (subjected to the most "degrading" practices every single day to even hold onto life) undergo months-long series of surgical procedures, possibly confining them to one bed, to one room for a year, two, three—all without complaint.

The problem is that, while the mainstream position is to trash the authority and the tradition, doing nothing but finding and pointing out its faults, there is an equally dastardly position rising up to combat this, where we find no faults at all with our fathers, anything that they may have done wrong we ignore and willingly put ourselves into a blind, infantile state of reverence to the past.
The solution is a balance. We have to look to the past for wisdom and guidance but understand that, just as our forefathers were the creators of traditions, we must also be unafraid to correct their mistakes if we see them.

It should actually the vice versa: your state (let's say Athens 480 or so) exists only because of the individual contributions of the citizens; sure, the state benefits the citizens by sponsoring performance, festivals, and public works, but most of the money supporting those enterprises is coming from private individuals who feel (or were compelled to feel) that their contribution was creating a better polis for everyone, even the poorest citizens (but not the slaves fuck 'em obviously). Sure, in a modern F.D.R. style semi-socialist state, the government exists to defend us and to some extent prevent us from being completely ignorant or prone to premature death: but it fails in the regard that the Athenian government shaped it's citizens to feel that they not only could, but where compelled to contribute to the thing that allowed them to exist, and defended (through conscription) by them, and that it's in their best interest to preserve it, not the other way around. Someone who couldn't contribute was not a worthy member of society, and you bet your ass they weren't going to get someone's dowry money.

I'm not saying that things should be like that now (and it obviously can't given the state of public education/social media), but people replying positively to this need to think about how education (and a proper culture/thinking environment) can shape people to better the state (through their 'wise' or just 'not incompetent' governance, art, thought, whatever) and THEREFORE benefit themselves.
