Putin: US not a white Christian country anymore

The Greek philosophers believed in multiple paths and points of view. Plato would advocate one position and then Aristotle would open up a competing school to disagree with Plato. Philosophers were flexible and not dogmatic in their views.

Tell that to Socrates, who was forced to drink hemlock because the Athenian elites convicted him for corrupting the youth (a crime in ancient Athens).

Tell that to the individuals who were randomly ostracized (banished) from ancient Athens because they offended someone in power.

The Romans were open minded about religion, and the various cults only had to acknowledge the authority of the state and they could practice. Even Yahweh was included as a god in some temples.

India still does this, and India is a hellhole where people shit on the street and the upper class considers poor people to be less than human.

That's exactly what would have happened to Europe had Christianity not come along: it'd be a continent of technologically backwards savages flinging their feces into the road and starting wars over every minor thing. Or it would've lead to all of Europe being conquered by Islam, since the tiny tribes that neopagans favor would have been picked apart by the armies of the Umayyad. There certainly wouldn't have been a united Francia and a Charles Martel to drive them back.

For that matter, the only reason why India is still Hindu is because the British came along and crushed the Muslim empires that were dominant at the time. Had they not taken over, India would have become majority Muslim, because even Islam, as flawed as it was, was preferable to the pagan horrors of Hinduism.

The pagan philosophers also realized that morality needed to be based on reason and not superstition, and they developed complete systems of ethical behavior.

Did that "reason" include arguments for why raping 12-year old boys was a good thing? No wait, let me guess: homophobia is a Jewish conspiracy to keep manly European men from truly bonding with each other.

Pretty much all arguments for neopaganism are the white version of "WE WUZ KANGZ 'N SHEEEEEET!" ("WE WUZ VIKANGZ?"): mythological appeals to a glorious past that never existed.

Neopagans always blame Christianity for the fall of Rome, conveniently ignoring all the evidence of Roman social collapse long before Christianity entered the picture. For example, the Roman capital had to be moved to Mediolanum in 282 AD because Rome itself had become a disgusting cesspool full of rats, sewage, and butt banditry. There was also the matter of putting sexual degenerates and madmen like Nero and Caligula in power: Caligula reigned from 37 AD to 41 AD, not even a decade after Jesus was crucified and before the Gospels were even written. But I guess that was Christianity's fault too.

I particularly enjoy the neopagan animus against "civilization," ignoring the fact that humans in every epoch and every part of the world have always trended towards greater centralization of culture and power, not less. Peoples who stay in the tiny tribes that neopagans exalt as the "true" European way of living always get conquered by foreign empires: how are the American Indians or Australian aborigines doing these days?

And of course, there's always the fun neopagan claim that "Christianity is Jewish," ignoring the fact that the two religions have entirely different value systems, beliefs, and characters. The doctrine of the Trinity means that the two groups don't even worship the same God, claims of "Judeo-Christianity" to the contrary. There's also that niggling detail of how the Talmud, the central religious book of Judaism, declares that Jesus is boiling in excrement in hell for all eternity, or how Jews who convert to Christianity are immediately stripped of their Judaism, or that the Jews themselves condemned Jesus to death by picking a thief, Barabbas, over Him. "Christianity is Jewish?" The Jews themselves seem to be unaware.

And if Christianity was a Jewish plot to undermine Europe, why did Christian churches in the West only become anti-white in the past hundred years? That's one hell of a slow fuse.

But like I said on the Varg Vikernes thread, neopaganism is a self-correcting "problem." The bulk of neopagans are leftists, and a disproportionate number of right-wing neopagans are homos like Jack Donovan, so they'll never have enough kids to become anything more than an Internet curiosity. The only white nations that are likely to survive this century are the overtly Christian ones of eastern Europe.

For all of neopagans' claims about how they're living in harmony with nature, nature has rejected them for continued survival.

As for Putin's comments, given that more mosques have been built in Russia under his tenure than ever before, how Russia will be majority Muslim in a few decades (and is already more Muslim than any other nation in Europe), and how Putin wants to flood Ukraine and other intransigent territories with Muslim Chechens and Dagestanis to solidify his control, he's got a ways to go before his words can be viewed as anything other than half-hearted.

So then by your own admission, you evaluate ideas based on who does / doesn't endorse them, rather than whether or not they have any merit. Isso não vai dar certo...

Socrates would walk around Athens playing dumb and ask random people questions until they were forced to admit they didn't know what the fuck they were talking about. He did this to some of the most powerful people in Athens. So naturally they trumped up charges against him of corrupting the youth. Imagine little Anaximander going home and trying this on his father. Nobody thought Socrates would be executed. The whole point of the story is that Socrates had so much integrity that he refused to escape (which was purposely made easy for him to do).

As for ostracism, it's one of the most intelligent things that the Greeks came up with.

The fact is that the polytheistic Greeks and Romans set down the basis of civilization. When the Renaissance scholars finally read the Greek classics (after the fall of Constantinople bringing Greek speaking refugees and books to Venice), they threw out whole libraries of scholastic books written in the Middle ages. Ironically, it was the Muslim conquest of Constantinople that forced the Greek refugees to Europe enabling the huge advance in science and technology that secured Europe's dominance over the world. The Byzantine scholar Plethon, who initiated the Western Renissance, also advocated a return to Zeus and the Olympian gods.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

You speak Russian?

Sidenote: that sherman post made me sputter with laughter, especially the part about anaximander.

I will be checking my PMs weekly, so you can catch me there. I will not be posting.

You could just as easily argue that multi-culturalism brought down the Roman empire. Original Rome was based on the values of patrician familien and with Greek philosophy as its base. The Greeks fled to Rome. Then with empire came naturalisation of citizens that were not ethnic Europeans, jews and other semittes.

"During the Byzantine–Sasanian War of 602–628 many Jews sided against the Eastern Roman Empire in the Jewish revolt against Heraclius, which successfully assisted the invading Persian Sassanids in conquering all of Roman Egypt and Syria. In reaction to this further anti-Jewish measures were enacted throughout the Eastern Roman realm and as far away as Merovingian France.[10] Soon thereafter, 634, the Muslim conquests began, during which many Jews initially rose up again against their Eastern Roman rulers.[11]"

They've been at this thing for 2000 years.
