There is a hidden power in Machiavelli's Discourses on Livy. The chapter of conspiracies, in particular, reveals that all great moments of the world begin with a conspiracy only few believe; a great plan that cannot fulfill itself through the hands of ordinary men.

this, millennials are still stuck with the idea that being an atheist is cool. When in fact their minds are just obliterated with their own life going sideways and they can't do anything about it for they are just meant to be cannon fodder, human slaves, etc. Their way of retaliation for their fate is just to be an atheist, hating on the powerful. We can see this example in our very surroundings. They tear what was left behind by the previous generations and try to create new ways that are just inefficient. Like the structure of the family itself. They create new genders and other things that accept degeneracy. And this very behavior affects the nurture of the zoomers, and its effects are very evident.

It translates horribly. I've seen translators take insane liberties, completely botching entire poems. It's atrocious how bad they can be. Poetry is already hard to translate as it is, but these guys somehow manage to avoid both literality AND poeticality. The result is the destruction of the meaning behind poems, and any musical quality of the language. Avoid translations of poetry at all costs. Although French poetry is pretty difficult, it is worth the challenge in the end.

This sentiment goes back hundreds of years before Mary got some side-dick. It is not unique, or even well presented in Christianity. Go back to the Ancient Greeks, their rational and justification for forgoing greater material gain are far greater.

>But it's not practically possible for every Christian to give up all their possesions
It is not practical for people to follow most of what Christ preached, and what is written 120 years after in the bible. It is a patchwork philosophy of à la carte ideas that must reach further and further afield to justify as it is truly amoral.

Plato and Aristotle had a huge impact on Christian theology. Also, I don't think the Bible needs to be rational or philosophically exemplary. It's a religious text. It has stories that inspire people to live moral lives. Christianity has made a great impact on civilization; the ending of polygamy and human sacrifrice, and the creation of universities and hospitals. It has also inspired the greatest art the world has ever seen. I don't think Christianity needs much justification in terms of it being rational. It simply works, and that is good enough.

Any unified moral code that took root in Europe would of done the same thing, to credit Christianity with some sort of divine revaluation that civilized Europe is factitious, as it has failed to civilize the rest of the world. This proves that it was something within us that was the root cause. Be it the capacity for empathy, a mind suitable for abstract thought, a deeper feeling of brotherhood, does not matter.

Europe civilized and made us better, not Christianity. The rest of the world is still a savage and barbaric place, especially in places where Christianity is strong. Central and Latin America are clear examples, as is huge parts of Asia.

>Any unified moral code that took root in Europe would of done the same thing
There is no evidence for that. You have this intution that the European race is simply superior for whatever reason. I was not expecting you to direct our discussion that way. Would you say that we are superior because of our biology or because of our soul? I'm interested to hear your answer.

Regardless, you didn't comment on the art that Christianity has produced. Compare the Sistine Chapel to the sterile "art" of the Third Reich. What other system than Christianty could inspire us to create truly great art?

That would be our superiority in every domain of life. Christian art is beautiful, no doubt about it. That too simply proves the greatness of Europeans, no other Christian culture, or any, has produced art that even comes close. The only common thread is European hands hands held the brush.

It took Christianity 1500 years to produce the Sistine chapel after a legacy of destroying the past great art. Notice how few great pieces of art were produced until the time of the reformation and its revolutionary milieu came about.
The Third Reich lasted 12 years, half of which was spent on war. Comparing them is facetious at best and more than likely just retarded.

Add to that they also cut away all the degenerate art movements and returned focus to the Ancient Greek and Roman styles, those very same that inspired all manner of Christian statuary and art.

I still believe Christianity is the best system for Europeans though. It's important to value forgiveness if we are to work together. It's not good to glorify violence and force. The small nationalisms of Europe has not been good for our continent. We need a Pan-European movement. How are we to do that? Europe has only been united under one system before; The Catholic Church. Maybe we should just go back to that. It's an easy way to reject the modern degeneracy of LGBT and EU, etc.

Most people recommend the Stalag or the Ford translation. Ford is newer and, I think, nicer to read. Stalag is the official translation but iirc it was done by an NS party member rather than a skilled translator. Ford has some nice notes for things that modern/non-German readers might not know.

Disagree, forgiveness is for people who earn it. Turn the other cheek, you invite another slap.

> It's not good to glorify violence and for.
You have demonized the only true authority. Might is right, violence in defense of what you love is the greatest virtue.
Europe has only been united under one system before; The Catholic Church.
Your church is anti-nationalist, anti-Europe, anti-white and broadly speaking anti-christian. It is also riddled with child-abuse, financial corruption, globalists and more. It is a dead church.

In the face of multiculturalism it lasted less than 50 years.

The reason atheism is for midwits is because
a) empirically most of them are midwits and enjoy midwit content like rick and morty
b) logically it takes a little bit of intelligence to insult religion and realize some arguments against it, but it takes a lot more intelligence and vast reading to understand philosophy of religion and see the flaws in the atheistic worldview

I think it was Dostoevsky who showed atheism is fundamentally a midwit ideology. It's for people who are smart enough to not be total morons, but still be part of the average intelligence crowd who want to fit in. So no, atheists aren't idiots, but they're not particularly insightful or bright either. They mostly fall in the middle of the iq bell curve.

You can analyze your own life and your relationships and compare it to Christians. My guess would be that it's not great. You seem to be a narcissist. Narcissism is very destructive to yourself and society in general. Your megalomania will lead us nowhere. Do you feel lonely or isolated? Be honest with yourself. You could fix that if you humble yourself to God.

Orgy of the Will (orgyofthewill.net)
>In this work of absolute genius, after two and a half thousand years of progress the path of philosophy arrives at an end, and the intellect at last draws, one by one, its ultimate conclusions. Apocalyptic, uncompromising and merciless, Orgy of the Will constitutes nothing less than a declaration of war on the so-called "human species".

On The Genealogy of Art Games (https://culture.vg/features/art-theory/on-the-genealogy-of-art-games.html))
>In On the Genealogy of "Art Games" Alex Kierkegaard shows, not merely that videogames "are art", but the highest art that could ever possibly exist. Patterned after Nietzsche's On the Genealogy of Morals, the three essays that comprise this extraordinary book trace the history of the decline of the various artforms as a consequence of the rise of democracy, and their subsequent hijacking and debasement by talentless money- and fame-craving thugs to compensate for their sheer ineptitude. In a parallel account, Kierkegaard unfolds the evolution of art as a function of scientific and technological progress, defining art here for the first time as "the craft of illusion", and pointing towards immersion and complexity as the key concepts for its understanding, before tearing apart all competing theories of art in terms of pathetic "messages" and "meanings" and uncovering what lies beneath the shallow moralistic chatter of journalistic hacks and pseudo-academics — the fundamental message of the universe.

>Far from merely a study of the art of videogames, as a superficial reading would suggest, On the Genealogy of "Art Games" is the definitive analysis of the history of art: and of its future.

Videogame Art (https://culture.vg/reviews/videogame-art/))
>In Alex Kierkegaard's Videogame Art, art criticism arrives at its peak, at an unimaginable height above the venality and nihilism of so-called "contemporary art", and the interminable chatter of inferior critics and pseudo-theorists on whether or not advanced artforms can "be art". Kierkegaard sets all of that pitiable drivel aside here as he plunges into five decades of genuine modern art, from early masterpieces such as Spacewar! (1962), Rogue (1980), and Civilization (1991), to Grand Theft Auto III (2001), Far Cry (2004), Dead Rising (2006) and beyond, analyzing each one with a set of unmatched aesthetic rules and an instinct seemingly clairvoyantly in tune with the essence of art, as he examines, documents, and even predicts the efforts of the greatest contemporary artists to outdo each other in the creation of startlingly strange, ruthlessly challenging, hauntingly beautiful, and above all irresistibly seductive illusory worlds.

"..I loathe the white-skinned peoples. Physically they repel me. Their smell offends me. Their avidity and greed have never struck me as anything but disgusting. They are clumsy in movement, awkward in thought, unsubtle, overbearing. Their assumption of superiority is that of the country bumpkin, the big man of the little village, who comes to the city and does not know that the sophisticates find him ludicrous as he swaggers and boasts.
Their savagery has never done less than appal me. The cold-bloodedness of the intentions behind their imposition of opium, the wanton destruction of our cultural heritage, or its theft, their inferiority... but I need not go on, for we have discussed it often enough. I live among a race I dislike to the roots of my being.

This. The truth isn't oldest generation or newest generation sucks. It's just millenials suck. It's bad generation is bad. Millennials like to defend that notion by bringing up history quotes of people in collapsing societies hating the generation causing that collapse and then claiming it's just old hating the new and new hating the old. They only ever seem to appear once the society starts declining funnily enough. How come I love the old and hate the new while being the new? How come the actual progressive ideas for bettering society are to go back and unfuck what the old "progressives" thought was progress so we can actually get back on track. The zoomer generation is being raised by the retarded millennials poorly. They're going to lament what they missed out on afyer they grow up and either it is the start of the end of history or try to unfuck things and for the generational trauma to slowly be repaired over at least the next three so we can get back on track to behaving like normal humans before the information age destroyed us.
