The combined vision of all the thinkers of the Enlightenment amounts to nothing. - Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Muslim rape gangs are roaming the capitals of every European country raping young girls by the tens of thousands while in Europe and America there are weekly Jihadist terrorist attacks.

in the usa, there are weekly mass shootings, albeit they often have nothing to do with terrorism.

on the other hand, i cannot remember the last terror attack in germany or france.

22. March: Westminster attack, UK
3. April: St. Petersburg Metro bombing, Russia
7. April: Stockholm truck attack, Sweden
20. April: Champs-Élysées attack, France
22. May: Manchester Arena bombing, UK

And now the muzzies have gone to sleep for the winter, the spring will be full of new surprises. Also arabs are expected to kill people during christmas. Take note that I only listed attacks which have cost lives, there have been many many foiled plans and unsuccessful attacks around.

>Obviously my post was meant in a very narrow context.
Even in a European context religious terrorism is common. Look at the refugee crisis and how idiotically Europe is handling it. This is all a consequence of the Enlightenment.
>I have no meaningful way to address the negative effects of the Enlightenment.

>what stalin and lenin did in russia had little in common with orthodox marxism in the first place.

does being an American mean you absolutely have to fangirl over the enlightenment? It's quite overrated if you ask me

>the enlightenment is responsible for most applicable scientific and medical progress,
That was the renaissance
>as well as secular capitalism
So, cancer that was made fun of endlessly until the present dau
>and the end of religious wars.
No, just no.
>and lenin did in russia had little in common with orthodox marxism in the first place.
Again, another meme that makes it clear you don't know what you are talking about. Russia was the embodiement of everything Marxism had to be in order to bring about a communist state.

>stalin and lenin did in russia had little in common with orthodox marxism
people still repeating this?

Zero deadly Islamist attacks in Germany in 2017

Compare this to the number of gun nuts shootings in the US and you’ll find what the actual problem is

The Renaissance did little do develop scientific methods, they arose much later

Marx was hoping for a revolution of the working class, which was absent in Russia in the first place. Instead, you got a revolutionary “elite” of intellectuals forcing peasants into Communism and forming a state - something Marx opposed.

There’s a reason Leninism is called Leninism and not Russian Marxism.

The refugee crisis is a consequence of the lack of Enlightenment in Africa and the Near East, where lack of family planning led to overpopulation

So is religious terrorism. It's a product of lack of enlightenment

Being an American means you shouldn't even know about the enlightenment, or anything that doesn't fall under contemporary popculture.

If you read anything other than NYT bestsellers and meme books, you were born in the wrong country in my opinion.

.t European dude working in culture-related tourism, meeting a few hundred Americans a day. Yanks are plebs is my motto.

>Zero deadly Islamist attacks in Germany in 2017
That's all you picked out from my post? I really can't comprehend the logic of islam apologists
The list I made was incomplete: here are some of the muslim attacks this year in Germany
2017.01.11 Germany, Oberhausen: A man yelling praises to Allah stabs a customer at a store parking lot. 1 wounded
2017.04.29 Germany, Prien am Chiemsee: A woman is stabbed to death in front of her two children over her decision to leave Islam for Christianity. 1 dead
2017.06.01 Germany, Oldenburg: A father of two is stabbed to death by two Muslims for smoking during Ramadan and refusing to fast. 1 dead
2017.07.28 Germany, Hamburg: A man on a mission to kill Christians rushes into a supermarket and stabs five people, one of whom dies. 1 dead, 4 wounded

Mentally ill folks seem to be the big problem in US, but completely clearly thinking folks from a murderous region with a murderous religion are the bigger problem in Europe

In both Brussels attacks the only victim was the assailant you inacurate faggot.

Hang on now, you're comparing apples and golf carts here. "Zero deadly Islamic attacks in Germany in 2017" but comparing that to domestic shootings not grounded in terrorism in the US. That makes no sense friendo as it doesn't take into account domestic shootings in Germany or the number of terrorist attacks in the US which so far as I can tell is 1 in 2017 and for quite some time before that. Plus it only happened a few days ago killing 8 people with a truck. So trying to insinuate that American gun ownership is somehow a bigger problem than terrorists in Islam is a pretty pathetic argument on all fronts, especially considering that legally owned guns are extremely rarely used in crimes.

tourists in generals are plebs

Also take into account that the US is a huge country of 9 834 000 km2 with a population of 322 100 000, while France for example is a country of 643 801 km2 with a population of 67 158 000

Also this report is of what is not listed here, that is to say the failed attempts: europol.europa.eu/newsroom/news/2017-eu-terrorism-report-142-failed-foiled-and-completed-attacks-1002-arrests-and-142-victims-died

Medical progress is the dumbest meme. It's basically treated like this argument to end all arguments on the subject of whether or not technological progress is good or not. Oh user, you say that now, but back then you'd die of cholera in your 40's. Well no shit, now I get to live 40 extra useless years and die in agony in a nursing home in my 80's when all of my closest friends are gone and all hope of an honorable death is gone b/c I'm a crippled, senile invalid.

>inacurate
It's spelled inaccurate, Achmed

Autism and has nothing to do with the thread

Take your /pol/ two-digit-IQ discourse elsewhere

Most children died before reaching the age of 3 back then, so there's a high chance you and I wouldn't have this conversation without medicine

And there's no recorded decline in happiness with higher age in surveys. In fact, boomers still make more money than young people

>can't handle discourse on contemporary hot topics
Ya really dun' understand what's up nowadays by staring at those dusty ol' books, huh Prof!

>Most children died before reaching the age of 3 back then
And now they're killed by the millions before they're even born. Using medical progress as an example doesn't even make sense because our civilization doesn't value human life.

>science cannot know nuffin
>muh Orthodox mysticism
wtf i am now a christian

>muh real communism
to laugh or to cry

>the enlightenment is responsible for most applicable scientific and medical progress
the best scientists were christian, you don't need to abandon philosophy, morality, prayer and spirituality to build rockets and guns and nukes and giant polluting machines that destroy cities

> well as secular capitalism and the end of religious wars.
secular capitalism and secular socialism-marxism are disgusting plagues upon the human race that reduce primary considerations to economic and material interest.

>the enlightenment is responsible for most applicable scientific and medical progress, as well as secular capitalism and the end of religious wars.
No it's not. Scientific and medical progress was made by scientific and medical geniuses. Secular capitalism was made by politicians/the people jointly. Religious wars were ended by politicians/people jointly.

The Enlightenment is just some broad, not-completely-objective term used for some philosophers of a certain time period and place with certain ideas.
