>Kant
>Hegel
>Left
I would think it's bait but the ESV Study Bible, with its turbo Evangelical leanings that go as far as to lie about archeological findings, and to deny controversy about interpretation about some verses (e.g. I Peter, 4) cited Kanye as a monster of modernity that made people turn against tradition and literalism. This despite the early church being full of allegorical readings, and Protestantism being a huge impetus for three Enlightenment, which Kant was trying to save faith from.

Then Hegel is now presented by pseud right wingers as the dark evil shadow, worse than Marx, lurking in the background of history. In fact, up until a decade ago, the American right was proudly Hegelian (e.g., Fukuyama). Yeah, Marx and Lenin cute Hegel non-stop. So did every right winger of the time. Outside Aristotle during scholasticism, no one man has dominated philosophy to such an extent, and for so long. Grandfather of SJW critical theorists, fascists, communists, and Neolib technocrats alike. The last two centuries have just been wars over Hegel. He doesn't fit on any one side because he did so much to define both.

[Anonymous No.19950990]

>>19950984
Hegel was a sorcerer and the Left and Right being lobotomized bastard children of Liberalism and Conservativsm don’t get this. He advocated for a supreme divine state much like the Reich or the USSR’s plans for Europe and so you can take his insights and use them to justify extreme statism or some kind of techno-socialist autarchy. Right Hegelians focus on his dealings with Spirit, Leftists focus mostly on the Dialectic itself and try to secularize that as some type of silent-pneumatic machinery that drives history towards class conflict and communist statism. They’re both insane and Hegel’s phenomenology is a form of memetic psychoactive agent that binds the minds of everyone who reads it. Its venom, pure necrotizing linguistic magic. He was a genius for this reason. Also if you’re not an autistic retard he basically shows you how the techno-alchemical engineers of civilization are transforming humanity into a sacrificial killing field for otherworldly forces but that’s not interesting to rightists or leftists because they’re castrati golem creatures who only exist to poke holes in the barrier between man’s conscious rational awareness and his subconscious cthonic realm. If you wait long enough Hegel’s name will come up in most discussions by these groups. He’s the root of all their lunacy.

well assuming you aren't jewish you'll live long enough to live in whatever it was your family was escaping, congratulations.

He was in a car accident , fractured his skull, and has a plate in his head. He's been left with major intellectual disabilities and a speech impediment. Yes the left have been making fun of him. When Trump made fun of the disabled reporter they gave him hell. If you made fun of a handicapped liberal, you'd lose your job.
