This dude was caught copy and pasting daily mail and youtube comments a year ago and now he's discussing Nietzche and his nihilism philosophy

 

[Apollo]

Karl Marx, Antonio Gramsci, Michel Foucault, Herbert Marcuse, Theodor Adorno, Max Horkheimer, Jürgen Habermas.

Cultural Marxism, the most ingenious way to destroy the West.

 

[DrippinglyWet]

Karl Marx, Antonio Gramsci, Michel Foucault, Herbert Marcuse, Theodor Adorno, Max Horkheimer,

Cultural Marxism, the most ingenious way to destroy the West.

Karl Max is and was misunderstood, his views are that socialism, when applied properly, will naturely morph into capitalism. His end goal was always capitalism. China understood that very well. They used socialism to level the playing field, India however misunderstood it. Socialism is a mean to level the playing field, and not an endgoal at itself.

Foucault, the french , understood how to discipline the mass by claiming everything that's not the norm to be abnormal. A guy that is slept on is the Dutch filosopher/sociologist Abraham Swaan who explains very well the process of civilization which is basically based on poor people imitating rich people and rich people finding new ways to distinguish themselves from the poor. This imitation and distinguishing mechanism is a continues process. Somalis don't have social classes, therefor we won't experience this process. Perhaps the diaspora should move back so that other imitate them.

 

[Rorschach]

Al-Ghazali (rA).

Someone who completely dismantled 20 prominent philosophical positions in his masterpiece: Tahafut Al-Falasifah (Incoherence of the Philosophers).

I recommend you read this book - it's a goldmine. Here's an online .pdf copy. http://www.ghazali.org/works/taf-eng.pdf.

You went for the bait. To be honest, besides Marx I haven't read any of the others. There's a right-wing conspiracy going on that those guys I listed above (Frankfurt School) are the intellectual root cause for white genocide and open borders.

If I could go back in time I would've studied sociology and analyse the living life out of groups and group behaviour.

I didn't know Foucault was from the frankfurt school. That dude died in Tunia or Morocco molesting maghreb boys

But he's one of the major weirdos who influenced the Cultural Marxists with his wacky theories on destroying all cultural norms.

Have you even read Marx?

How can his end goal be capitalism when he explicitly called for it's abolishment.

Philosophers from before the 1800s are very unreadable. So out of touch and you can't relate to them other than through third party interpretations.

:siilaanyolaugh:

Right-wing idiots blame unjustly everything on those so called postmodernist philosophers as if SJWs actually read Habermas Lyotard and other french quasi-philosophers. Most of their work are hard to read and understand because they use undefinable personal jargon. Even Noam Chomsky couldn't comprehend their philosophical babble and spoke out against them.

One thing that these postmodernists do negatively promote is the idea that science is a social construction and that truth is relative to ones culture and vocabulary. This stuff is dangerous, especially for third world countries. Who actually need science to lift them up from poverty. The west can afford these intellectuals though.
