idk if he was insane, i think he just had a really bizarre obsession with ancient texts.

Are there any authors out there that have pursued a blending of Platonism with Chinese philosophy or is that mainly your own idea ?

I don't know if anyone has written about it; I don't really read modern texts except for work. I haven't encountered anyone irl who does it, either. I just think that both Greek and Chinese Classics represent the high point in a lot of fields, and taken together they provide us with the best foundation to create a superior world. I don't necessarily need to inject both of them into every discussion; it's possible to speak about only Hellenes at one time, only Chinese at another. Ultimately, though, I think that supremely educated people would freely draw from both groups of texts.

One day a new Plutarch will compare their lives, and future generations will find it quite normal to merge them all. Ideally people would form some sort of society that is rooted in the ancients and excludes anything written east of Ionia or west of Han Gu Pass.

i think thats enough

Lykourgos is just an elder posting veteran who believes strongly in a contemporary-style a-la-carte neo-pagan belief system that presents judges and prosecutors for the governments of the United States as both the philosopher kings of Plato and the pinnacle of Confucian achievement and treats tenuous parallels between Plato and Confucius as the sole useful way to view the world. People would tell him his gimmick sucked and people who met him said it wasn't a gimmick. They were both right insofar as adopting an attention-seeking tactic down to your core by living it 24/7 year after year makes it not really a gimmick anymore. Objectively that also makes his posts racist, but, Hell,

also he puts black people in prison for a living and in the last week alone retweeted two richard spencer posts, one identity europa post, a series of hysterical complaints about a tepid liberal effort to get more minorities to work for the national trust, a donald trump post bragging about a rasmussen poll, and this

its severely fucked that the most influential voices calling for nonintervention in Syria are fucking fascists, and have been for years, and left orgs who follow an anti-imperialist line are tilting dangerously close to red-brown alliance

How can anyone LARP as a revolutionary that way while being so online they contribute the add revenue equivalent of three average users

That crew are really invested in the idea that twitter is the best place to do counter-propaganda work. Which I mean, we're all talking about it but there's a decent chance they've made substantial errors



Which is something I don't really get. I remember Tarzie commenting on that and saying if they really wanted to reach the most people they'd go of Facebook, because that's where most people are.

They don't want to reach people, they want to try to land an own on a news personality so that they can feel important without any need for risk, committed engagement, or long term effort.

I appreciate that everyone moved on from the Commie Ned Flanders discussion a week ago. but now that I have an account here, I just really wanted to say, that his post telling people to “go on GTA V and start talking to children about capitalism” is hands down one of the funniest things I have ever read, and sometimes when I’m trying to go to sleep I’ll remember it out of nowhere and start laughing, like just happened to me now. Thanks
