This is an absurd complaint,the oldest written document is a fictional story used to convey a moral message named The Epic of Gilgamesh. Humanity has used fiction to impart wisdom quite literally forever.I'm getting flashbacks to people who thought Harry Potter was a source for wisdom that you could apply to your life...
people still think that.I'm getting flashbacks to people who thought Harry Potter was a source for wisdom that you could apply to your life...
6th they near universally advocate for am inherently authoritarian system. As despite what that bum Marx wrote or idiotic anarchists naively believe. Socialism when put into practice has been universally totalitarian in under a decade implementation. This has happened on every inhabited continent,within every currently existing civilization,across all climates,and for every single race of man. Oh and with quite literally dozens of examples spread out over an entire century. But you know Muh Not Real Socialism Tm reeeeeeeYou are demonstrably wrong here, because Antifa is one of the greatest accelerrants in our society right now, pushing us towards authoritarianism and totalitarianism.
First off, the use violence as their primary method of trying to accomplishing things.
Second off, what they are trying to accomplish, as demonstrated by who and what they attack, is destroy free speech, property rights, and social order in general.
Third off, they are working in concert with the Democrat party, the authoritarian party (or at least more heavily authoritarian) party in the USA.
Fourth off, as many others have said on this thread, they believe 'liberals get the bullet too.'
Fifth off, the longer they are not dealt with, the more people will be willing to vote in an authoritarian if that authoritarian will deal with them.
If they have done a single thing that actually hurts totalitarianism, rather than aiding it, I'm not aware of what that thing is.
Damnit Scotty don't tell them about the hidden guns......Guys no one tell Scotty we 48 guns in that cave over there ok?
Calling the Epic of Gilgamesh 'fictional' is a bit too much, no? People believed it was true, it was a big part of their culture. If you had said the Lord of the Rings, you'd have more of a point.This is an absurd complaint,the oldest written document is a fictional story used to convey a moral message named The Epic of Gilgamesh.

Tom Sawyer,The Great Gatsby,Star Trek,Moby Dick,need just go on? Humans use fiction to teach morality constantly,now you can argue Harry Potter shouldn't be used and I'd agree. However the concept itself is sound and has a very well established history of being used as a highly effective tool for teaching....Hell Jesus Christ taught mostly in parables which were fictional stories used to convey moral concepts.Calling the Epic of Gilgamesh 'fictional' is a bit too much, no?

Cicero's wisdom still holds true.
Uh, that was like nearly 2 years ago now.Bro a few posts ago you were batching about tradition and you then quote Cicero?
I throughly disagree but it just made me laugh either way man don't read to much into it.Uh, that was like nearly 2 years ago now.
Individual wisdom is separate from tradition, and not as hidebound.

The Confederacy's love of slavery disproves the value of tradition being held to just for the sake of 'tradition', as does 3rd world female genital mutilation, widow burnings in pre-Brit India, the human sacrifice of teh Aztecs, and numerous other stupid and monstrous 'traditions' held around the world because they help local elite maintain control.I'm going to have to disagree with you on the whole tradition thing.
Tradition as I define it is the result of trial and error through out the whole of human history. If something has been tradition for a really long time its probaly around for a reason.
There is old joke about scientist who come to some still wild tribes in New Guinea,described their rituals,but when he asked them why they are doing that,they send him from one elder to another,till oldest ones said:The Confederacy's love of slavery disproves the value of tradition being held to just for the sake of 'tradition', as does 3rd world female genital mutilation, widow burnings in pre-Brit India, the human sacrifice of teh Aztecs, and numerous other stupid and monstrous 'traditions' held around the world because they help local elite maintain control.
'Tradition' is not always a good thing, and should not treated as such.
