It's just structuralist vs essentialist axioms, you can go on rationally in either dirrection from there. Claims that one axiom is "rational" while other is "ignorant" truly is intellectually dishonest, though.

As for critique, left has problems with acknowledging arrow of causality - one can observe left drift being simply equilibrium shift in response to abundance, not forced revolutions.

Right on the other hand tries to explain everything post-facto. It acknowledges the arrow of causality, but doesn't offer much in terms of how to improve the system.

reminder that libtards released a serial killer because he wrote books and then proceeded to kill a dozen more people in a year

>In 1985, a campaign to pardon and release Unterweger from prison began. Austrian President Rudolf Kirchschläger refused the petition when presented to him, citing the court-mandated minimum of fifteen years in prison.[1] Writers, artists, journalists and politicians – mostly Socialists – agitated for a pardon,[7] including the author and 2004 Nobel Prize winner Elfriede Jelinek, Günter Grass,[8] Peter Huemer[9] and the editor of the magazine Manuskripte, Alfred Kolleritsch.[7]

>Unterweger was released on 23 May 1990, after the required minimum fifteen years of his life term. Upon his release, his autobiography was taught in schools and his stories for children were performed on the radio. Unterweger himself hosted television programs which discussed criminal rehabilitation,[10] and he worked as a reporter for the public broadcaster ORF, where he reported on stories concerning the very murders for which he was later found guilty.[8][7]

So. No, not at all.

I find, generally speaking, that those who are well-read are generally very conservative.

I mean this whole OP just goes to show you how fucking stupid /lit/ is these days. Conservatism isn't just some stupid 'fox news' black-haired stupid bullshit where you just parrot the republican party.

Conservatism has a long-standing tradition beginning with Edmund Burke. I suggest you read him. I suggest you read Alexis De Tocqueville.

Politics isn't just something you take sides on. You should learn that with politics you sit back and watch the morons fight each other while you take the higher ground and understand the broader picture

:3

You don't see me or butterfly identifying with each other based on political leanings. These leanings are very tenuous and immature to latch on to. People who develop relationships based on political ideologies are unbelievably immature and have no personal or moral philosophy to fall back on.

The government, or economic situation, does not define who you are. Tocqueville speaks volumes on this subject. Read some Hayek while you're at it, but avoid the Austrian party, as they are morons, as well as Keynesianism. To wake up from the political struggles is to awaken a side of your psyche that lies trapped: critical thinking in public affairs. This is very important to securing the future generations.

There is a reason no matter what, no matter how much that the people at CNN, Fox News, etc. apply what I've just said, that no matter WHAT, they will never be able to replicate it within their own broadcast: and that is because what I've just stated is non-partisan. I take a conservative approach to reality, but the women I like do as well as any rational person should. I dislike the Democrat and Republican party. I think the current state of politics is a sham and we should focus on the lobbying within congress. Do you ever see news reporters talking about that though? Interestingly enough, no. And that is a huge problem, because various thinkers throughout the ages like Adam Smith, Karl Marx, Edmund Burke, etc. thought that lobbying interests in the state ruined, absolutely ruined, the nation.

Indeed that's what we see. There's a lot of common ground on various points here, but I can guarantee you this: whatever the 'republican' or 'democratic' party thinks of 'progress' is just showing news stories of examples where their mentality is reigning supreme: what ends up happening no matter what is war.

What ends up happening because of me and my love I express for purity, honesty, and virtue? Nothing. With this weapon we can null the blades of the meaningless sophists. To think that millions of Jews were killed because of a philosophical mistake, to think that the war was set up in advance by Britain because of a philosophical mistake, to think that war in itself may have been a philosophical mistake as a means to generate money and thereby invalidating the Vietnam and Afghanistan wars, to think these things is absolutely horrifying considering people died.

I suggest before more people die, we all come to a consensus as to WHO actually needs to die, otherwise it's just absolute chaos.

Why does the academic approach to things always fall flat though?

>> No.12907420

It is frankly baffling how many people can spend their entire lifes studying the way power shapes institutions, how schools are ideological apparatuses that enforce certain types of thought, how human networks and connections are able to disseminate and consolidate ideas in certain groups, heck, even how ideology is not contingent at all but derived from the relations of production and other material basis, and then when it comes to analyze how that stuff works in institutions they are based in, just forget everything and fall back to essentialist bullshit like "academia is leftist because we are smarter".
