@ArdainianRight When they start with bullshit terms like 'proto-fascist' you know the article is written by some soy gulping leftist faggot and not worth reading
The only part of Sparta that matters to the West is that the Spartans were armed and didn’t bend the knee to their heretical invaders. The rest is irrelevant.
@leyonhjelm@jetzkrieg Sparta is immortal as the epitome of martial virtue. The attack on them is an attack on the idea of martial virtue as a concept. Everyone knows their society was less than ideal in many other respects, but they live forever as the badasses who would never back down even in the face of certain death.
@ArdainianRight American academia is obsessed with copying athens and larping like their empire its bizaree. Coincidentally athens was one of the first places in europe where jews settled down and even had its synagogue.
@ArdainianRight@leyonhjelm@jetzkrieg It's all about tearing down all heroic historical figures and every aspirational ideal. And it's been going on for a long time - here's a review of a 2010 "The Middles Ages Sucked because Christianity and White people" movie by a Catholic film critic that gets to the heart of it:
>No, wait. I’m sorry. I can’t pretend to be objective here.
>I’m just so sick of this. This grim, joyless, faux-realist medieval world, with its constant brutality, hypocrisy and debauchery all but unmoved by beauty, serenity and humanity.
>I’m sick of movies in this King Arthur / Kingdom of Heaven mold that seem almost entirely lacking in sympathy and affection for their hero’s world. (Isolated moments — Robin’s fellows boisterously harmonizing on the Channel crossing back to England — seem almost to belong to another movie.)
>I’m sick of movies that seem obsessed with rubbing our noses in the supposed harsh reality behind our romantic illusions of nobility and courtesy — especially in our age, when the harsh reality is taken for granted, and the romance and nobility and courtesy are all but forgotten.
@ChristiJunior@jetzkrieg@leyonhjelm The entire managerial conceit requires that humanity be distilled to mere atoms and data. The idea of the soul or the transcendent is an existential threat, thus their worldview must be actively soul-killing and it must permeate everything. Bioleninism is actually an effect of social science managerialism, because dysgenic misfits are the only ones who'd ever actually like this soul-killing ethos.
@ArdainianRight@Boomerman They hate Western (aka White) Civilization, period. It's the one thing that unites them. That's why Feminists and trannies so readily join forces with Muslims and other socially conservative nonwhites in the West.
@ArdainianRight@leyonhjelm@jetzkrieg Its a hilariously retarded article >muh spartans were xenophobic going to war with those persians >theyre also bad for working with those same persians >athens was super power because muh logistics sparta sucks >but ignore the fact that athens fell apart Lmao
