What's your opinion of his theory that envy and mimetic desire drive conflict rather than rational self-interest and individual differences?

It's pretty obvious in children. All they do is mimic and only want things that others want. It might be more subtle in adults, but I still see it all the time. You can even use it to manipulate people into wanting something they wouldn't have wanted or by pretending you don't want something so they won't want it.

You have misread the situation. Within the context of this board, the group desire is to set oneself apart, to look edgy and unique. Therefore, when I see your post, I feel the urge to post a common Pepe.

I think his stuff is a lot of nonsense. His obsession with violence was unseemly. Lacks a real foundation in ethnographic research. His view that language stems from some original act of violence was retarded. His attempt to try to explain everything about culture through mimetic theory was really stupid and is why literally no one studies him. This moron actually thought he was the Darwin of the social sciences. Hilarious.

How does Judaism destroy the unanimity of violent persecution? For me, it seems that in the Bible (book of job for instance) God is the one who causes a lot of the trouble in the first place. It would make sense to say the Jews were the first to approach the profound realization of the passion of Christ, but "revelation" is definitely pushing it. Yahweh had a lot to learn since the time he led the suffering Jews through the Sinai wilderness.
