What is the difference between 'the classics', 'the canon', and 'start with the greeks'?

[Anonymous No.16444286]

¿Cuál es la diferencia entre "los clásicos", "el canon" y "empezar por los griegos"?
>>16444286
Es autoevidente.

None. The canon is based on Athens (the Greeks) and Jerusalem (The Bible).

Classics originally meant the Ancient Greeks and the Romans but not the term is meaningless and is used for anything old/oldish. Canon refers to the Western canon (the literatures of Europe and the Americas) Start with the Greeks means reading the Ancient Greeks.

I'm reading it now and honestly the fbi fucked up. If he were here now i think he'd honestly help to navigate the tension and put sjw shit like 'white fragility' to bed. he'd still call whites the devil but acknowledge some of the material gains they made. It'd be like the boondocks mlk episode but instead of fucking off to africa he'd take serious political action of some sort.

I hate them.
Their stupid faces, ugly skin, grotesque dicks, ridiculous culture, and their usually sub-human intelligence... i want to exterminate them.
I wasn't born or raised this way - I finally snapped a few years ago when a (black) co-worker was telling me about her (black) roommate's homeless friend robbing the house next door, and getting them in trouble. He has 3 kids with 2 different women and sells coke. I'm not making this up. Seeing crime statistics, especially Canadian homicide and rape broken down by race, cemented my hatred.

"its poverty dude" fuck you, impoverished whites have vastly different crime rates. It's genetic.

How do I stop hating them and accept them as they are? I'm tired of these negative feelings overtaking me every time I hear their garbled English.

Why do we listen to them? We saw what happened in Rhodesia. They won - they got their country, and look what they've done to it. They destroyed it.
I think I'm doomed to forever hate them.

Remove the Jew and the problem sorts itself out. The Jew won Rhodesia

Actually Israel was one of few fountries that wanted to step in and help Rhodesia. UK and the rest of security council stood silent

[Anonymous No.16447299]

Why are leftists trying to call this man a socialist revolutionary even though by all their standards he was racist, sexist, misogynistic and anti-Semitic? He literally collaborated with Nazis and focused on hating white people as creations of a demonic mad scientist until he converted to Islam and changed almost all his views the last year of his life. There’s so much fake revisionism towards this guy, it’s absurd

The Classics: Ancient Greeks and Ancient Romans. From Homer to Simplicius

Canon: Works of literature considered of high quality and influence by experts. Include the Classics.

"Start with the Greeks": a good recommendation.

The Classics = important due to how they affect your soul and their discussion on virtue and true freedom
Canon = to make you "cultured".
