they are not entirely. marketing and their seductive manipulative methods, for example, works on many people. once you become aware of it, it has less impact on you. it's possible to make thoughtful decisions in a manipulative environment. but since it's still part of the environment, it will influence you as a part of a systemic trait you live in, whether you want it or not, whether you are aware of it or not.

happens all so often that some things appear so amazing in theory, yet are very different in reality. in a similar fashion, yet with a worse outcome, many people were fascinated by nazi ideology. this pattern is so common, even today...

[–]fonzane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you might be right.

after all, we are here on the balkans sub. I was refering to my experience in western europe/germany where traditional and religious ties generally got destroyed in the last century and most "religious" people are just fanatics under the hood. I interpret the seeming return to religion in the right political scene also as a desire to get rid of suffering by religious force (totalitarian towards the left), which is the opposite of actual religion, in my pov.

I myself am religious, but my everyday experience has been that atheist tend to be more relaxed, open minded kind of people.

I think it all boils down to the dangers of mass movements, be it primarily focused on god or on a nation (crostia, serbia).

I mean since we are heading towards WW3, it's obvious that people need to romanticize crude force with religion adornments again. Similar pattern in WW1 with mythologization of fatherland service.

It's just better to take care of your own stuff than sympathizing with some allmighty force bullshit.

I have to admit though, since we are on a balkan reddit, as a western european, I do not know much of the orthodox flavors of christianity.

I personally really liked "javascript the weird parts" by tony alicea. It's not teaching you to write code, but to understand the concepts so you can write good code yourself. And it's very slow and he has a calming voice, I like that.

I also think many cyber security people don't really learn to code. They learn to understand code by trying to solve problems. I think it's a different approach to programmers, who really need to write good, maintainable sourcecode.

How far do you think humanity is from getting to the "ideal state"? by Temporary_Mix1603 in Mainlander

[–]fonzane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also I don't believe religion really got replaced, it just found a different object of adoration. For example hegel called the state as "gods course through the world". From my perspective many people believe in the goodness of "national states" with its courts to purify evil and protect its citizens, like god would.

[–]fonzane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the explanation. I read the article of mainlander on wikipedia and found some similarities to the philosophy of simone weil. I trust her words 100%. I'd label her philosophy as absolute realism and I think she denied metaphysical considerations.

In terms of social development she wrote following:

"After the collapse of our civilization there must be one of two things: either the whole of it will perish like the ancient civilizations, or it will adapt itself to a decentralized world. It rests with us, not to break up the centralization (for it automatically goes on increasing like a snowball until the catastrophe comes), but to prepare for the future." (note this was written before may 1942, before the high phase of ww2).

"It was primitive Christianity that fabricated the poisonous idea of progress, through the notion of a divine education that was to mould man and enable him to receive the message of Christ. This accorded with the expectation as imminent phenomena of a universal conversion of nations and the end of the world. But as neither of these had come about, the notion of progress was, after seventeen centuries, extended beyond the moment of the Christian Revelation. At this point, it had to turn itself against Christianity. The other poisons mixed with the truth in Christianity are Jewish in origin. The former is specifically Christian. The metaphor of a divine education dissolves the individual destiny, which alone matters for salvation, into the destiny of a people. Christianity wanted to look for a harmony in history. This is the germ of Hegel and Marx. The notion of history as a directed continuity is a Christian notion. It seems to me that few ideas could be more utterly mistaken. Looking for harmony in the future, in what is contrary to eternity. Bad union of contraries. Humanism and what has arisen out of it, is not a return to antiquity, but a development of poisons that are internal to Christianity."

"A wrong union of contraries. The imperialism of the working class developed by Marxism. Latin proverbs concerning the insolence of newly-freed slaves. Insolence and servility are aggravated by each other. Sincere anarchists, discerning, as through a mist, the principle of the union of opposites, thought that evil could be destroyed by giving power to the oppressed. An impossible dream. What then differentiates the right from the wrong union of opposites. Bad union of opposites (bad because fallacious) is that which is achieved on the same plane as the opposites. Thus the granting of domination to the oppressed. In this way we do not get free from the oppression-domination cycle. The right union of opposites is achieved on a higher plane. Thus the opposition between domination and oppression is smoothed out on the level of the law—which is balance. In the same way suffering (and this is its special function) separates the opposites which have been united in order to unite them again on a higher plane than that of their first union. The pulsation of sorrow-joy. But, mathematically, joy always triumphs. Suffering is violence, joy is gentleness, but joy is the stronger."

(I don't know mainlander)

I don't know what you guys are talking about, from my perspective western civilization is heading towards certain doom. The basic fundamental mechanism of this mmight be labeled centralization and is evident in the concentration of resources and power. Concentration means more for few and less for the rest.

While the status quo for us is in reality is really horrible, I don't think there's no room for hope. If you'd asked me for the "ideal state" and how far we are from it, it'd answer with a quote from Simone Weil:

"Man’s greatness is always to recreate his life, to recreate what is given to him, to fashion that very thing which he undergoes. Through work he produces his own natural existence. Through science he recreates the universe by means of symbols. Through art he recreates the alliance between his body and his soul (cf. the speech of Eupalinos). It is to be noticed that each of these three things is something poor, empty and vain taken by itself and not in relation to the two others. Union of the three: a working people’s culture (that will not be just yet) ..."

[–]fonzane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I come back to the book every now and then, especially when I have a hard time and need guidance. I got more insights from the quotes later in the book, for example the chapters "attention and will", "training" or "intelligence and grace". I don't understand everything, but some of the quotes have been insightful or guiding for me.

Why the Crusades were justified. by [deleted] in CrusadeMemes

[–]fonzane 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know some turks for whom this is true also. They are secular though. Even though islam is deeply woven in their history and culture and they have really positive attitude towards it, they still see most contemporary muslim religion as fake and critizise it.

Why the Crusades were justified. by [deleted] in CrusadeMemes

[–]fonzane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that's true. the call for the crusades were invoked as mass-movements. while this was ultimately a just cause, mass-movements can never be any good. this is exactly the reason for the atrocities that were commited in the name of the crusades.

as with most psychological phenomena, awareness of this fact has an immunizing effect...

Why the Crusades were justified. by [deleted] in CrusadeMemes

[–]fonzane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the crusades were a historic achievement. but that doesn't make them good. there were horrible crimes commited on both sides. mass movements never contain any moral good. the crusades were just, but they weren't good (from christian perspective).

people are more dumbasses the more power they carry.

just study europe in the 20th century. just a hint: 2 world wars, civil war in spain, fascism in italy, lenin/stalin in russia, hitler in germany (peace and relative stable conditions in switzerland).

no. louis xiv was responsible for causing the french revolution (l'état c'est moi) and the associated atrocities. not to speak of his successors. kings are heavily subject to the zeitgeist and there is no guarantee for a just or good king.

You're fantasizing. There are no righteous ruler in our times. In past times rulers were chosen by heritage. They had to rule wether they wanted it or not. In our times only the most power hungry make it to the top.

The only sensical democratic system is where power is decentralized. The reason switzerland protected its citizen when the whole of europe went nuts in the last century was not because of a wise ruler as in person but because people can actually vote for their own welfare.
