Imagine thinking that people making themselves the focus of praise and attention isn't the principle mind virus of our age.

>>16139391
The whole reason we have progressivism is because of a Christian backdrop to our culture.
The worship of frailty and social justice is just modern day Quaker bs.

>>16139391
Progressivism is Christian in its nature, and just as much of a religion by accepting magical concepts like equality and idea of a progressive force.
And it’s also derived from Christianity, if you’ve actually never seen any Christian progressive, here (although not atheist, increasingly progressive, not only for its time, but for today) from Time, simply google “Religion: American Malvern” and an archive from Time’s own website will be the top result where you can see for yourself (I can’t link here):
Religion: American Malvern
Monday, Mar. 16, 1942

These are the high spots of organized U.S. Protestantism’s super-protestant new program for a just and durable peace after World War II:

Ultimately, “a world government of delegated powers.”
Complete abandonment of U.S. isolationism.
Strong immediate limitations on national sovereignty.
International control of all armies & navies.
“A universal system of money … so planned as to prevent inflation and deflation.”
Worldwide freedom of immigration.
Progressive elimination of all tariff and quota restrictions on world trade.
“Autonomy for all subject and colonial peoples” (with much better treatment for Negroes in the U.S.).
“No punitive reparations, no humiliating decrees of war guilt, no arbitrary dismemberment of nations.”
A “democratically controlled” international bank “to make development capital available in all parts of the world without the predatory and imperialistic aftermath so characteristic of large-scale private and governmental loans.”
This program was adopted last week by 375 appointed representatives of 30-odd denominations called together at Ohio Wesleyan University by the Federal Council of Churches. Every local Protestant church in the country will now be urged to get behind the program. “As Christian citizens,” its sponsors affirmed, “we must seek to translate our beliefs into practical realities and to create a public opinion which will insure that the United States shall play its full and essential part in the creation of a moral way of international living.”

Among the 375 delegates who drafted the program were 15 bishops of five denominations, seven seminary heads (including Yale, Chicago, Princeton, Colgate-Rochester), eight college and university presidents (including Princeton’s Harold W. Dodds), practically all the ranking officials of the Federal Council and a group of well-known laymen, including John R. Mott, Irving Fisher and Harvey S. Firestone Jr. “Intellectually,” said Methodist Bishop Ivan Lee Holt of Texas, “this is the most distinguished American church gathering I have seen in 30 years of conference-going.”

Every goddamn author looks like shit, I think is a prerequisite to be a good writer

>>16139391
Progressivism is a natural offshoot of the puritan tradition, and the radical individualism could not have happened without Luther. Additionally you can thank the worship of the broken on the martyrdom complex that's memetically intertwined with Christianity as well.

>So how come they’re against it?
How come catholic were mostly against Protestantism? It’s not strange at all. If you read the Time article progressivism is rightly called super Protestant, because that’s exactly what it is. It’s a religion derived from Christianity that simply gave up on the idea of God, but held many other (just as unjustified) core ideals (and very few new), and it’s no wonder Christian don’t like it, Christians have always fought between similar sects. Not only do most Christians not like progressives, but most progressives don’t like Christians. Progressivism have just moved into a position with much more power than any other Christian sect, because there is no recognised separation between progressive church and state. Now, these facts combined, does not make them friends, just as if a group of Protestants would have their church influence a body governing many catholics, without catholics being allowed to do so.

I can't find any evidence that Hitler said that, but I did find the following:

>Hitler said, "Dietrich Eckart once told me that in all his life he had known just one good Jew: Otto Weininger, who killed himself on the day when he realized that the Jew lives upon the decay of peoples"

- Adolf Hitler, Monologe im Führerhauptquartier. 1941-1944, ed. Werner Lochmann (Hamburg. 1980), 14

No. Every new century is the height of humanism, as is a very humanistic doctrine. You just refuse to recognise its line of development, its fruit.

>>16141054
>was antisemitic
What makes you say this?

Super Green Flag:
>Jewish author who is also an anti-Semite

My favourite green flag is when an author is actually a raging conservative but you wouldn't guess it from their work or life.

You can post your garbage, ice-cold takes on Reddit. Do that instead. Everyone will think it's so innovative and cool that you're such a rebel.

>Although beforehand I want to precisely state in which sense I speak of Judaism. To me it does not pertain to a *race* and not to a *folk*, admittedly even less to a legally acknowledged creed. *One may only consider Judaism as a direction of mind, as a psychical constitution, which constitutes a POSSIBILITY for ALL people, and has found merely a most grandiose REALIZATION in historical Judaism.*
