"Civilization"

It has come to mean a place where the right newspapers are on offer as judged by the want of the mondialist and liquid elite who have no home and attempt to knit their world-English speaking culture back into the ghost of the mono-culutres from which they stem by mere physical birth. Originally civilization was coextensive with the old sense of mental culture which was said on an analogy with agricultural cultivation. For us moderns it mean being confined to infinite intellectual degradation and American stupidity as a matter of course, and exposed to the market forces and the economic slave production without reason and for the sake of no hidden groups of interested parties or wicked conspiracy. However, as a positive ideal, it would be the overcoming of the actuality of the religion of technicality or "science" and the dawn of something more serious and supreme. This forum, being dominated by the propaganda of the Americans, is most remote of all from what is serious and from the first and lowest step in this marching crack along the great wall of the American evil. However, if one were to understand America simply as anti-civilization one would miss the mark, and be consumed by its cybernetic invasion.

"Civilization"

...infinite intellectual degradation and American stupidity as a matter of course...the propaganda of the Americans...the great wall of the American evil...America simply as anti-civilization...

I had no idea this forum was so open to nationalist hatred, if not outright racism, as this.

As a non-American, I'm a little appalled and offended on behalf of the Americans here, to see their nation used as an adjective for everything despised. And as someone who has travelled widely in America, I don't think it's true, either.

You should reconsider your attitude. It's kind of appalling.

Replace the references to America with THE BEAST and chuck a reference to Simone in there and it has a sort of familiar ring to it though.

Since I couldn't (be bothered to) make heads or tails of it, I'll take your word it's a hate fest.

meh

Veg does it better.

Nah, I understand Nick (even if I don't always agree with him). This thing, best I can tell, needs a lil ranch dressin'.

Lol, I had been ignoring this dude as an obvious crank. But he writes stuff like: "wisdom is wiped form the shimmering window of science or philosophy" so perhaps I will stick with it just for purple-nurple prose.

After he authored that slice of magnificence I expect he had to wipe something from his keyboard as well.

That's disgusting.

HA!

The statement has nothing to do with the motives you imply. It has to do with knowledge. America as political unit is accidental to the issue. The beliefs that are the spontaneous support of human life have to be somewhere. Thus, we are all compelled to put aside squeamishness and face up to that.
