I'll go out to the supermarket... if anything happens to me... I bid you my adieu, for I have gone on to meet my creator and all that stuff...

Yes, am that paranoid... I guess

>albaniggr
Do I know you? There's only one type of person on earth that'd talk of albanians that way... and I think I know said person

>love that circuitous and seemingly contradictory way of seeking autismal coitus...
Oh please, you are making me blush

>seems to be in urufag's court now
wat

>you're way the fuck past the point of demanding a fair argument from me you sorry twat
What did I do, lel

>and here i was trying to help
Wat

You guys know what to do anyways, if I think what there is to do is what I think you guys know it is that has to be done

If you want a new world, begin building it already step by step, if you want to just continue sucking it in and being slaves to the you know whos and all of their stooges, well, be my guests

I hate personalisms anyway, they make every movement dependant on them and then they just... [poof]

>>4136569
Have you considered abandoning your dependance on cheap attack lines as a way of replying?

Ad hominem.... ad hominem is an art.

>>4136557
How would you know, are you an autistic neckbeard?

>>4136542
Yeah... I really wanted Mittens to win... I guess I just did catharsis in a very... weird way

>so like, fukc
This alone made reading your entire post worthwhile

>teenage
I think its a midlife crisis... or whatever happens when you are 24, thanks

The 2012 US campaign never ended for me... I suppose, meh

I guess it was all just a phase, meh, thanks for the shoulder, I guess... oh well

>but the Easterners never came to believe in Original Sin or the divinity of Jesus Christ, whereas most of Europe did for a time.
Tokenisms that were never entirely part of the original canon, in fact, the Catholic Church kind of took the original shit and started reving it up with all kinds of stupidic stuff

>Laotze
Laotze is a Cynic, he is Plato's Socrates

>>4044920
>I don't know many children searching for God these days, do you?
I would start by yourself, the denial is rich, almost tender, you ache for the love of something bigger than yourself, but upon lacking said thing, you come to the conclussion that the universe is a cold, anti-human place where everyone should feel out of place and miserable

>>4044908
>I don't see how it is spite
You said it yourself, you see their 'rejection' of their previous culture to be disgusting, when reality its just evolution taking over and a natural conclusion that trade only sped up

>and I don't see how it marxist inspired.
Whenever you start criticizing capitalism, you may as well be a marxist, because that's one of the stools over which capitalist criticism is based upon

A criticism that is very valid but that proposes absolutely nothing new that is actually a viable alternative

I.e: we are stuck with a world that is made of shit and which can only be improved upon

>>4044907
>There's nothing faith-invoking or 'divine' about a dichotomous spinozism
There's nothing that invokes upon your euphoria in spinozism, that's what, and you dislike it, because you wish you could be a child and believe in some kind of homeric god that cares about you

But instead you are an adult that knows that god, if it exists doesn't give jack shit about you, and if it doesn't, may as well just be the same as the former

>>4044904
>Our culture is Graeco-Roman and Semitic flavored to its core
This is true

>and that's what sets us apart from the East.
This is hilariously biased in favour of the west, when in reality, different peoples separated by huge distances actually came to the realization of an almost verbatim EXACT SAME BUNCH OF CONCLUSIONS

>>4044893
>Eastern thought rejects this world as an illusion, and enlightenment is detachment from the illusion of this world.

>Western thought rejects this world as an illusion, and in its places sets-up a higher world, a metaphysical world, and an enlightenment is seeing this higher world.
I hope you realize you are just regurgitating the same things with a few goal posts moved to further a bias in favour of either western thought, or eastern thought, that is born out of you lacking some insight as to what eastern thinkers actually wrote about

>That isn't really western culture, that is capitalist culture. That has little to do with Western culture in the sense of Graeco-Roman philosophy and medieaval art and romance. Western culture is what is underneath the capitalist culture which has become dominant, and Eastern culture still exists over there, underneath the capitalist culture that has dominated there also.
Your marxist inspired spite of Modern Asian culture is hilarious

>>4044889
All philosophers distrust faith but embrace it as a compromise among a number of awful compromises in some way or form

>>4044892
The problem is that people had way too many missconceptions and wanted god to be some form of caring, paternalistic hyper dictator

When it was proven that such thing is hilariously wrong, they all got emo and began claiming that god is evil because he lets the world be shit

The issue is, the world is shit because everything is shit, rather than because there's a higher deity wanting ill upon all of us

That's what people simply refuse to fathom, so they stop believing in god as a form of defiance rather than something they honestly think

If you want to be a pretentius weaboo/eastaboo, have at me, but that's your own particular interpretation of everything eastern philosophy and culture has to offer

An interpretation that is only valid within your deluded little heads

>>4044868
>no it doesn't, they are built on completely different foundations with different premises
Is it? Have you read Lao Tse or Confucious?
Is it really?

>it isn't
Elucidate

>that doesn't even make sense.
Go to China, Japan, Vietnam, the Philipines, they've all abandoned their ancient culture in exchange for western civilization, all that remains is a particular flavour of western civilization mixed with some localisms and stuff

>>4044867
I thought my name had already shed a light on that, and thanks

>logic is the murderer of god
Logic is a red herring, Spinoza again

>>4044856
Only an inmortal can kill another inmortal.

Take a hint for what it is

>>4044846
Eastern thought runs parallel to western thought, give it an actual read and you'll see its all the same, but people in the west have taken it all to mean something its not out of their own desire to hate everything they are

If you see actual asians, you'll know they are more like us than we are like them

>>4044831
>implying anyone can corner the dorner
That's what it sounds like

>tfw Zen icon
God is indestructible, God is Sufficient Reason, that's the empty throne atop which 'he' or whatever affix you want to assign only one can sit, and its none of us

Read Spinoza

>I like to slap a person over the face with some good ol' piece of ad hominem too
I know, its a bad habit I share in common with my more unsavoury 'far' cousins in the left

In my career I've seen tons of people badmouth him over his political positions, but praise him for his work

Its just awful that now on the other hand I see people deriding him for his work, as I start to see some wisdom in his political positions

We assign way too much to personality and little to actual discussion of thought, at least this 'fight' between Zizek and Chomsky results in some sort of clash from which some productive ideas may be taken and as an inspiration to a whole new generation of thinkers who can see beyond the preconceptions and frustrations of those that came before

I'll be damned, I didn't know of Zizek, and definitely didn't know as much about Chomsky aside from his computer science related ideas until recently

>dismissing Chomsky
You guys are trully the pinacle of imbecility, I've heard many far-right/uninformed arguments from my own compatriots against him coming from their own ignorance, but some of the so called 'left's arguments are a monument to human imbecility the likes not even the Zealots of Massada could rival
