This is why I am a big fan of religious syncretism. It stretches the realm of belief that some specific group of humans in some specific time or place got access to all the secrets of the universe. No offense to followers of Abrahamic faiths but it is especially hard for me to swallow the idea...

If I am anything, it's Buddhist, specifically Pure Land Japanese Shin Buddhism. I'm probably too agnostic and temperamental to really count, though. All religions require an element of Faith - there is no proving rebirth is a thing and there is no proving a Christian soul exists. These are...

So you all are being rather incoherent. Is the Left trying to destroy pride in culture and nation even though Fascists are Leftists and Fascists were the most masturbatory MUH RACE MU HNATION ideology in history? Come now. The Left has always, always championed internationalism. They got a...

How can somebody have true faith when they can't even read their Holy Scriptures and their local holy representatives speak in a language they don't understand? All those illiterate peasants and serfs had a real profound grasp of their theology? Seems more likely a lot of ignorant people were...

Also I've always been taken by the first book of Plato's Republic because of how..."modern" it is. I implore anybody to read at least that part and tell me the discussion of what is justice isn't something people online right now might be having. Justice is doing good to my friends and harm to...

I admire you for jumping into the shark tank, @mesonoxian. You're also a lot more composed than I usually am when I'm arguing with all of you on SV. Anyway, getting into pretty abstract discussions here. I believe there are people in here who are Traditionalists or probably more Evola-ists...

Because they have fundamentally different end goals and a bunch of other philosophical differences. Obama passing ACA was a revolution by American standards because we're an ass backwards nation. But it's not even close to as far as a Leftist would want us to go. You might as well ask why...

Well anarchists still definitely killed less people than fascists so I don't think anyone is gonna win this fight. But of course Leftists have their own myths. Some don't want to admit it because they define themselves against the Right and the Right embraces non-rational (not irrational)...

Modern Anarchism was born in an age of empires, colonialism and other awful things. It makes perfect sense. It's not just egoism. Whether or not it's feasible is another matter but reframing it as pure selfishness is uncalled for. Speaking o which though, Proudhon had some views about he...

Oh hey @mesonoxian and I guess Sophia but she isn't in here anymore. Did not expect either of you to post on this place. Did you want to PM somebody, too? Anyway, when it comes to valuing history and tradition, I mean stuff like recognizing that the ideas and figures who made us should be...

Oh. Well that is pretty dumb then. My apologies.

I think you're probably reading too much into it. I haven't played Valhalla but I can tell you with 100% certainty that Leftists don't like Ancient Sparta. Or Athens. Or anything Greek, really. They gain the truest pleasure from shitting on these foundations of our existence and have accused Ubi...

So JRPGs have been my favorite type of video game for most of my life at this point. I played FFVII at my cousin's when I was around 10 or something but I didn't understand it. I was used to Mario or Goldeneye and all these menus and stuff? Didn't get it at all. Later on though, I played it...

My point is not to say Damsel was right, it was just to say it was an opinion in the game because the game is intensely political in a very real way. Skelter brings up how it absolutely sucks to be a Kindred because, in addition to the general problems of being undead, you also, as you noted...

It just seems stupid. I'm pretty much against all these separate "players" or whatever they're called. Rockstar's launcher for GTAIV fucked up so many things for me when I played it for the first time earlier this year because it doesn't allow modding or something. I just wanted teh original...

Eh, I was glad when they seemed to help bring David Cage's games to PC but they're on Steam now so whatever.

Very, very true. But I didn't really care for ME1 so it didn't bother me much. ME1 shows very clearly BW wasn't quite ready to make their own universe yet. BW is known for its characters first and foremost but a lot of ME1's cast does nothing for me. Wrex is a 1:1 clone of Canderous from...

I really need to get into these games. I bought AC2. I just fuckin' hate how they work on PC. I bought them on Steam but nope, you launch it in Steam and then it says you need Uplay to play it. Ugh. What's the fucking point of it being on Steam, then? They do the same thing with Dragon Age...

Playing a bunch of things because I can't focus on anything lately. Persona 3 Portable, I only beat FES so I'm trying the FeMC route. Skyrim with some new mods. Bravely Default. This might be abandoned for a while. Baten Kaitos. A truly underrated GameCube JRPG with unique mechanics, a god tier...

Game will probably not be as good as the original but I'll try it. As for politics, see Damsel saying communism will work for vampires, Nines citing the Depression and Skelter Vietnam for why they are Anarchs and LaCroix being a former aristocrat in an imperialistic army. Pretty clear...
