Every analytic philosopher other than Wittgenstein is a fuckin turbofaggot who doesn't understand reason nor truth. What they understand is computational logic which they then foist over every other experiential area of life, either brute forcing the notion that it's all logic at the end of the day, or by simply declaring anything that doesn't fit that mold "irrelevant," or "subjective."

I took your post because you named Russell and Popper, nobody who is serious (including analytics who know Russell and/or Popper) would list those two specifically on this dumb board like that unless it was bait.

You understand my point though right? If you're a well-learned analytic you're not going to mention just Russell and Popper. In fact Popper is really boring even to analytics, you could mention Kuhn. Russell is very important but listing him and just him (with Popper) instead of say Frege, Carnap, and Quine at minimum is just very suspicious. It feels 4chan pseud-tier, bait and lie-tier even.

That's because it is

Here's some Kant
>Nothing can possibly be conceived in the world, or even out of it, which can be called good, without qualification, except a good will. Intelligence, wit, judgement, and the other talents of the mind, however they may be named, or courage, resolution, perseverance, as qualities of temperament, are undoubtedly good and desirable in many respects; but these gifts of nature may also become extremely bad and mischievous if the will which is to make use of them, and which, therefore, constitutes what is called character, is not good. It is the same with the gifts of fortune. Power, riches, honour, even health, and the general well-being and contentment with one's condition which is called happiness, inspire pride, and often presumption, if there is not a good will to correct the influence of these on the mind, and with this also to rectify the whole principle of acting and adapt it to its end. The sight of a being who is not adorned with a single feature of a pure and good will, enjoying unbroken prosperity, can never give pleasure to an impartial rational spectator. Thus a good will appears to constitute the indispensable condition even of being worthy of happiness.

Them being into Marx is by design. It could've been literally anyone else but merging trannies with the misguided colour revolutionists gives the entire thing layers through which to pull extra threads.

As far as psychology goes, this one is self explanatory.
If you're looking to give something which has zero basis in biology merit, then you need to partially or entirely base it in the abstract, the oral, the convoluted.
Psychology is also considered a high status discipline, meaning it's shamans wear bigger hats.
Relativism in all fields, absolute debasement of language, and all of it backed by billions in fiat.

I am sincerely suprised there's as much push back to trannies already. Of course, this will never be allowed to organically reach critical mass. But the sheer fact it has reached a lot of people through the mainstream said the "fringe" is a white pill on its own.

Buddha would open the argument by speaking of the lepers, outcast and miserable; the poor, toiling with aching limbs and barely kept alive by scanty nourishment; the wounded in battle, dying in slow agony; the orphans, ill-treated by cruel guardians; and even the most successful haunted by the thought bf failure and death. From all this load of sorrow, he would say, a way of salvation must be found, and salvation can only come through love.
Nietzsche, whom only Omnipotence could restrain from interrupting, would burst out when his turn came: "Good heavens, man, you must learn to be of tougher fibre. Why go about snivelling because trivial people suffer? Or, for that matter, because great men suffer? Trivial people suffer trivially, great men suffer greatly, and great sufferings are not to be regretted, because they are noble. Your ideal is a purely negative one, absence of suffering, which can be completely secured by non-existence. I, on the other hand? have positive ideals: I admire Alcibiades, and the Emperor Frederick II, and Napoleon. For the sake of such men, any misery, is worthwhile. I appeal to You, Lord, as the greatest of creative artists, do not let Your artistic impulses be curbed by the degenerate fear-ridden maunderings of this wretched psychopath."
Buddha, who in the courts of Heaven has learnt all history since his death, and has mastered science with delight in the knowledge and sorrow at the use to which men have put it, replies with calm urbanity: "You are mistaken, Professor Nietzsche, in thinking my ideal a purely negative one. True, it includes a negative clement, the absence of suffering; but it has in addition quite as much that is positive as is to be found in your doctrine. Though I have no special admiration for Alcibiadcs and Napoleon, I, too, have my heroes: my successor Jesus, because he told men to love their enemies; the men who discovered how to master the forces of nature and secure food with less labour; the medical men who have shown how to diminish disease; the poets and artists and musicians who have caught glimpses of the Divine beatitude. Love and knowledge and delight in beauty are not negations ; they are enough to fill the lives of the greatest men that have ever lived."

"All the same," Nietzsche replies, "your world would be insipid. You should study Heraclitus, whose works survive complete in the celestial library. Your love is compassion, which is elicited by pain ; your truth, if you are honest, is unpleasant, and only to be known through suffering; and as to beauty, what is more beautiful than the tiger, who owes his splendour to his fierceness? No, if the Lord should decide for your world, I fear we should all die of boredom."
"You might," Buddha replies, "because you love pain, and your love of life is a sham. But those who really love life would be happy as 'no one can be happy in the world as it is."
For my part, I agree with Buddha as I have imagined him. But I do not know how to prove that he is right by any arguments such as can be used in a mathematical or a scientific question. I dislike Nietzsche because he likes the contemplation of pain, because he- erects conceit into a duty, because the men whom he most admires are conquerors, whose glory is cleverness in causing men to die. But I think the ultimate argument against his philosophy, as against any unpleasant but internally self-consistent ethic, lies not in an appeal to facts, but in an appeal to the emotions. Nietzsche despises universal love; I feel it the motive power to all that I desire as regards the world. His followers have had their innings* but we may hope that it it coming rapidly to an end.

This 1945 text by Russell is quite well known
I cannot say I've taken the time to read the rest of the text outside of a few selections
However, this selection from the chapter on Nietzsche is comical, if not embarrassing
Russell imagines a scenario in which Nietzsche engages in an argument with Buddha
Russell, having little talent for the literary, engages in an argument with himself
It serves as a segment to highlight his understanding of Nietzsche and his motivation to condemn him– perhaps to sever him from the 'western tradition'
No doubt Russell was motivated by the rise in fascism in the 20th century and the widespread misunderstanding and misappropriation of Nietzsche
His emotionally charged words have not aged well, to say the least

We can imagine them appearing before the Almighty, as in the first chapter of the Book of Job, and offering advice as to the sort of world He should create. What would either say?

Russel was right about Neech on absolutely everything but women.
