/lit/ - Literature

There is difference between a personal enemy and an enemy that is threating your family, nation, and faith. Read the Church fathers. Christianity has never been about pure war or pure pacifism. It is situational and there are verses to support both in their proper context.

Pic sort of related. Wish you the best of luck regardless. I feel the same sometimes, but every once in a while when I see some news story where a guy is super vulnerable and emotional, I begin to love humanity again more. Prayer and contemplation is of course of great use and when I used to pray more (as I should be doing now) I used to love everyone so much that I would get the urge to run up and hug random people like Alyosha from the Brothers Karamazov. It's bizarre how the mind fluctuates.

Contemporary definition is that. Old fashioned conservatism was about rolling back liberalism and often democracy. It's often called paleoconservatism now (a term Roger Scruton identifies with).

Post conservative books

Some time after Schmitt returned to the Catholic Church (he ended up converting Ernst Jünger), he wrote his magnum opus, The Nomos of the Earth.

>The last great, heroic act of the European peoples--the land-appropriation of a new world and of an unknown continent--was not accomplished by the heroes of the conquistador as a mission of the jus commercii, but in the name of their Christian redeemer and his holy mother Mary.

Schmitt cites the Bible extensively in this great work.

Reposting from my Twitter feed because I figured you guys might have some thoughts. It is about Heidegger's theory of "idle talk" in the work "Being and Time"

Heidegger's theory of "idle talk" can be crudely simplified as a state of discourse in which commentary has primacy over the subject of the discourse (not the Cartesian "subject"). This can actually lead to the "covering up" of its subject's being. This is exactly what the Pharisees did with religion, which Christ condemned. Now Catholicism (I don't mean NuCatholicism) has ἀλήθεια as its basis. This term is used in John 6:55 in the presocratic sense (which Heidegger seeks to restore), not the Platonic sense. Talmudic (Pharisaic) Judaism by contrast places idle talk at the center of its faith and zealously fixates upon it. Einstein hated what he called "Talmudism" in science. I will now bring in another concept of Heidegger's, which is fall. Fall is a sort of "busyness" Dasein engages in which covers up being--sometimes purposely, in order to escape or ignore it for the sake of "tranquility" which Heidegger says is always "tempting" Dasein to fall to the world. Idle talk is a manifestation of fall. Harold Bloom sees Talmudism as precisely this, arguing that Judaism was "traumatized" by Christianity, and fixated completely on commentary in order to cope and distance itself from the radix of the trauma. Whatever the reasons, we now understand Talmudism. French philosophy from Sartre forward is a sort of Talmudism. It completely gives primacy to the discourse itself over the being discourse is concerned with, Derrida even says there is no such being, discourse is only referential to discourse. This is because the Konservative Revolution dealt such a blow to left-wing thought, that the only way the left could fight back was Talmudism. When Barthes says, "Language is fascism," he means any language but idle talk, as he wishes to perpetuate fall against rise.
