ten years ago, we had steve jobs, johnny cash, and bob hope. now, we have no cash, no hope, but we all have jobs now, in fact more jobs than when steve jobs was alive, which is kinda counterintuitive

this sounds pretty interesting, what do you do exactly?
i design & control & adjust the systems used for securities trading for one of the world's largest investment banks. i am basically the worst part of capitalism. i've only been doing it for seven weeks, but so far it's fascinating. and terrible. but fascinating.

a 76 year old philosopher saying things like 'that would be "cool," as the young people say' and 'dear cephalus' and '"your definition of justice is insufficient." with that, socrates lit up a fat 'doobie' and toked heavily before passing it to polemarcus. "smoke some a this shit," he said. "blow ya fuckin head off." "dude you gotta pass to the left," said thrasymachus. socrates blew out a heavy cloud of dank kush. "420 blaze it faggot," he said. "therefore you must admit that justice is not the same as the rule of the strong."'

creeping liberalism, sloppy power analysis without much utility for communists, reification of so-called totalitarianism, jew
#6113
the worst thing about hannah arendt is she edited my copy of walter benjamin's essays. her shitty intro i can skip but it's hard to extract the liberalism of her essence from the text.
#6114
liberalism is a christian ideology, as is zionism.

judaism is the last remaining ancient philosophy, in which god is terrible and cruel, war and glory are great things, and nation, blood, and aesthetics determine philosophy and not the reverse.

the nazis were almost correct when they called bolshevism a jewish philosophy, as (authentic) marxism is anti-christian morality and great jews like Solomon, David, Joshua, Herod are matched by Marx, Luxemburg, Lenin, Lukacs.

for every Joshua the conqueror there is Moses the oppressed, for every Lenin there is a Trotsky, and for every Benjamin there is an Arendt. As Nietzsche correctly shows, Judaism contained the seeds of slave morality, and most jews now are basically christians. what he didn't anticipate is that judaism is still not Christianity and contains the potential for liberation from nihilism. Spinoza, Marx, Freud, Kafka, Husserl are only capable of coming from a jewish background, and they then inspire the best christians: Nietzsche, Engels, Lacan, Nabokov, Heiddeger (respectively)

and thats why IWC is banned fro anti-semitism but deadken and impper are not. they are more jewish than most jews.
#6115
Moses, Joshua, David, and every loyal king of Judah in the Bible is a Zionist. They all sought to take over the Promised Land and purge it of non-Israeli elements and non-Israeli gods. Despite his reputation for wisdom and building of the Temple, when Solomon allowed foreign gods, it was considered a terrible sin which broke apart the kingdom. This is one of the primary pillars of Judaism. All of the failures of Israel and Judah are attributed to their tolerance of idolatry and other religions in the Holy Land; God uses military defeat to punish them for their apostasy, according to Samuel, Elijah, Isaiah and the other prophets. After the Exile, the focus becomes on rebuilding Jerusalem aka Zion as a Jewish kingdom, with Ezra and Nehemiah enforcing both religious and racial purity.

#6116
you're simply describing actions removed of their ideology. there is a dialectic in judaism, one which represents the ancient philosophy and one which represents the future Christianity.

zionism has nothing to do with the jewish nation as a people, it is the creation of jews entirely through the lens of persecution. zionism couldn't have been created without russian and french anti-semitism, couldn't come into being without the holocaust, and can't continue to exist without the palestinians and arab nations constructed as enemy.

this element exists in judaism, after all the jews were slaves in egypt and the jewish diaspora suffered because of god's will. however there is also the element of the jews as a great people, conqueror's of other great people with great kings and a great and terrible God. david and goliath is a great example. the christian reading is the mighty goliath being taken down by the weak David and God rewarding the weak being a prefiguration of Jesus's persecution and death/rebirth. however the jewish reading is king David defeating the champion of the philistines for the glory of the jewish people and God. David's story basically ends for Christianity with Goliath while for jews he is a great king and conquerer. If Jesus is the messiah because he lost, David is the jewish messiah because he won.

lol bhpn youve got that whole thing backwards
#6118
Great writers tend not to be nice friendly Anglicans. In the West, at least, they’re of two types: Jews and antisemites, antisemites and Jews. One type, really. Antisemitism is just a desperate attempt to capture some of the Jew’s particular talent for self-loathing; Judaism is just a desperate attempt to account for the antisemite’s hatred. A Jew doesn’t have to be circumcised: Yitzhak Shapira is not a Jew; Jacques Lacan was a Jew par excellence. The Jew is the one for whom something is missing, circumcision is just a reminder of that fact. You try to replace it: that’s where you get psychoanalysis, political radicalism, Christianity. Pathological inventions, all of them.
#6119
Uh no, the jewish messiah was Jacob cause he literally wrestled with god.
#6120
remember ideology is grounded in practice. king david has literally nothing to do with judaism whatsoever. something to do with zionism maybe
