Liberals: let's master nature and control her to our ends. Conservatives: let's reconcile ourselves to nature (because she is all-powerful and we are fallen and humbled). Progs: let's liberate ourselves by ignoring or denying empirical reality and aiming at utopia.

To the liberal "mastering nature" includes destroying social institutions that are there to prevent social defection. Human nature is part of nature and the liberal is at eternal war with it. Looks exactly like the "progressive".

Liberalism is empirical. Liberationism (prog) is utopian. They are opposites, not the same! Liberals challenge necessity. This is their role. Hence, they question institutions. Conservatives defend necessity, hierarchy, nature. This is the balance.https://twitter.com/ConceptualJames/status/1370378105651625987 …

James Lindsay, not Dr Rollergator @ConceptualJamesThe intentionally utopian character of liberationism, which is the conceptual basis of Wokeness at the practical level, isn't merely to be inferred. It's explicit. Marcuse's point here is that it's time for utopia! And he has a plan (subversion and Aufhebung of existing society). pic.twitter.com/NOm4xuFm5EShow this thread2 replies 0 retweets 2 likes -

Liberalism is empirical right up until you start pointing out the empirical reality of human differences.

That is corruption. Liberalism has not always been anti-empirical. Fault also belongs to conservatives, who failed to curb liberalism's excesses. I do not see you blaming conservatives? Conservatives were corrupted by globalists and libertarians. This contributed to imbalance.

I actually blame Christianity all the time for the problem you note. Universalist thinking has fundamental problems recognizing boundaries between human groups. Nationalism was what tempered liberalism and ‘kept it honest.’ Since 1945, liberalism is unbound.

Christianity was the glue that held together Charles the Hammer's armies that drove out invaders It's a fantastic religion that has allowed centuries of productive, strong societies with a cooperate /cooperate mating market between men and women All reversed after discarding it

Paganism is the true inheritance of the European people. We owe to Paganism the basis of all our greatest art, intellectual inquiry, and military ethos. We languish and are defeated by Islam other than in Iberia until the Renaissance occurs.

I sympathize but paganism was dead before Christianity even rose in Rome and Christianity incorporated the best parts of it through canonization of local saints and absorbing important holidays and celebrations. Christianity is the inheritor of the best parts of paganism.

It wasn’t dead. It died because an egomaniac, Constantine, betrayed Rome. Its funny how you can see the quality of artistic depictions under the Byzantines plunge from realism to crude cartoon. Knowledge, beauty, and a warrior ethos are Pagan in origin.

It was dead because Pagans couldn't provide virgin wives and Pagan marriages were barren because men and women couldn't cooperate. Constantine's In Hoc Signo Vinces was a warrior ethos but one from a live tradition that could produce children.
