American graduate school in literature:

"No, anon, there's no universal truths. Everything--especially morality-- is relative, ever since technology and science made God obsolete"
*two seconds later*
"RACISM AND TRANSPHOBIA IS ALWAYS UNCONDITIONALLY UNACCEPTABLE!!!"

Why are they like this? Am I missing something?

they only ever apply "deconstruction" and "critical thinking" to refute right wing tropes and destroy the foundations of Western societies, they always fail to apply the same standards to the holy teaching of the Progressive Church (aptly baptised as "The Cathedral" by Moldbug). this is why all right wingers should master the language of postmodernism to learn how to use it against our enemies, read de Maistre alongside Foucault and Deleuze with Evola

Because one of the foundations of Western society is Christianity, which teaches mercy and the idea that we should care for the soul even of our enemy. As a Christian, I have to admit that it is one of the pillars of Christianity that can easily become perverted to the point of making Western people submissive doormats. Thus you get Protestant ministers who claim that Christians should remove the Cross from public spaces/churches to make Muslim immigrants more comfortable.

>Christianity teaches us guilt and the idea the we should forgive our enemy even when they trespass, or commit evils, against us.
Fixed. Following and defending the faith of the colonizer is what has made you a doormat. Western society and its ideals are doomed to fail. The only way to make change is to take change.

That does not mean we should excuse the villainous actions of our enemy. This is a problem with contemporary liberal christians, not Christianity. The Orthodox Church got it right.

I don't know about literature, but my philosophy and anthropology classes were both pretty clear that morality is clearly objective. Like neither pushed a view- my philosophy classes just laid out the arguments of subjective and objective arguments for morality, what the criticisms of each were, but they also pointed out the majority of moral philosophers are objectivists, and you'll find more nihilists than subjectivists. And the arguments provided by subjectivists I find incredibly weak.

Meanwhile in my cultural anthropology class they argue culture is subjective, and we shouldn't judge, but at the same time we shouldn't forget our own ethics- that we shouldn't condemn a whole people and culture if they do something wrong, but if they stone gays that doesnt mean you have to approve or join in.

I agree with this sentiment completely, and was hoping it was implied in my post. Liberal Christians follow closely the maxim to hate the sin but love the sinner. Unfortunately they have taken it so far that they have forgotten to hate the sin and go out of their way to accept all sorts of immorality and degeneracy because they are afraid of being called bigot/racist/homophobic/etc. The sooner the Christian world stops trying to compete with secularism the better.
