Stalin was gensec. Back then they didn't know:
>the long-term importance of the position
>Stalin's ulterior motives

>>20914795
Yeah, either Morawiecki or Obajtek.

Consider this. Kaczyński is Lenin. The Thinker.
He fears Ziobro. Ziobro is the Stalin.
Kaczyński needs someone more like Trotsky. That's Morawiecki, or Obajtek. Either could do.

>>20914749
Lol no, Kaczynski is still young and very alive intellectually, he will outlast Tusk who has gotten too comfortable. Kaczynski has unmatched energy and passion. He's just 72 and lived, honestly, a pampered /lit/ lifestyle, he could remain eminence grise for at least 10 years still. In that time he could sufficiently prepare PiS for the time after Him (the responsibility will probably fall on Morawiecki)

>complete absence of right wing cultural discourse which is above the Tucker Carlson-tier level of "cultural Marxists are going to turn our kids into Satanists with sissy hypno".
That's not true. There's plenty of options, ranging from old writings by Dmowski and Stachniuk, to Krasnodębski, Klub Jagielloński, modern Polish nationalists, Palade, Rafał Woś, Zybertowicz, there's plenty of options, and on the dumber but still "intellectual" side wRealu24 and Karoń

does it replace Civics entirely? Civics was a dense class already

>>20914338
>Rigid and inflexible personalities tend to do poorly with hallucinogens in general.
Could you expand upon this?

>>20852784
GGS is worth reading, the rest not
I also recommend Horse Wheel and Language. I also heard of this one interesting book on prehistoric economics but I forgot the name

>>20852758
repeating this thought-terminating cliche won't grant you wisdom

verbal amulets don't work, anon. they just don't.

>>20852717
though most of his writing is embarrassing (in hindsight, back then it was probably revolutionary), it's TV in book form and some of it is good for what it's setting out to do, for example the Mist, the Jaunt, the Man in the Black Suit

>>20852733
>you're meant to defeat the final boss
oh you're speaking in that sense.
the final boss, as always, is entropy and the fact of the dissipation of Humanity into nothing, regardless of whether that dissipation happens in a generation or some infinitely finite stretch of time. and how to make meaning out of that.

sophists don't deserve anything but scorn. though everyone deserves intellectual honesty, of course

1789 started the Death of the Aristocracy
1815 started the Death of God
1914 started the Death of Heroism
1944 (Bretton Woods) started the Death of Nationalism
1971 (dismantling of Bretton Woods signaling the functional end of the Cold War) started the Death of Metaphysics

you're here

>>20852685
Witty's the filter and Baudrillard/Lacan is the key is how I'd sum it up

>>20852697
>>20852671
why does /lit/ use pseudo-intellectualism to reify oppression

>>20852679
tradcaths are dumb because sedevacantism is a dumb fringe idea.

prots are dumb because they go against the Christian doctrine

the Catholics are the smartest of them all but even they are dumb, because the Christian doctrine is, ultimately, dumb

>>20852663
How does that go against anything I said? Modernity has this weird binary thinking about itself. You're either this or that. You can't be anything in between. It's either death of the author or the author is God. Grow up, people

>>20852459
haven't you read Plato? sophistry isn't philosophy. sophists by definition can't be the final bosses of philosophy. anyway, my entire philosophical project is a refinement of Plato to refute the anti-philosophy of modernity that is all but a modern form of sophism, or what I'd call. the hyper-philosophy of the Capital (which is a hyper-entity/AI, and so on...)
>>20852654
that sounds like it's right up my alley but only if done right. and there's a very high likelihood it's done bad. i dislike pseudointellectualism because it's a waste of time. i crave the Truth and only the Truth

>>20852657
>his theory is too predictive if anything, by saying that any claim and theory you make about the world will itself have contradictions that will only be resolved in future theories. he describes the chase of knowledge.
>you might claim that this isn't particularly profound, but that goes against previous ideas about how philosophy/science is able to get at eternal objective truths. that matter isn't even settled today
Sorry for this interjection, but I must:

This is all solved by pneumatics

>>20852618
CCRU is mostly a joke. it's not newfaggotry on my part, the opposite. being an oldfag means not wasting your time on all the shit on the internet
>>20852621
what is sheer will? we all follow certain rules, the most obvious rules being the survival instinct and the less obvious rule that follows from satisfying the first one, that is transcendence. everything else follows from that. but that means it's quantifiable

>>20852591
Well, yeah, conformism is the goal of this Kierkegaardian-leveling-atomization

you haven't even read Kierkegaard and don't know he (and de Tocqueville) already struggled with the same problems as we do. start here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leveling_(philosophy)

>>20852505
>But what is the point of creating a thread like this?
Because it's worthwhile to point out the active measures the Capital utilizes to first sedate you and then atomize you.

The way post-modern philosophy was raped by the Capital, and political correctness in general, is just a tool for atomization through Kierkegaardian leveling.

>I’m basically trying to deconstruct and critique the pros and cons of religion throughout the ages culminating in its backward and kind of useless position it presents in the modern age
I'm already doing this. Back off or join me.

>>20852462
You passed the test and closed this thread. Very well. I had hoped for a longer shitstorm of midwittery, though

>>20852440
Socrates: Very well, Anonymous. Would you agree, then, that there exists a form of the woman, and of the man, beyond the organs themselves?
