Good quotes that make ya think
>"Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to such a pass that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love."
Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov.

>The special trait making me an anarch is that I live in a world which I 'ultimately' do not take seriously. This increases my freedom; I serve as a temporary volunteer.
Ernst Juenger, Eumeswil
>In spite of all that happened at Hamburg, bombing proved a relatively humane method.

>....Hitlerism is a mystical movement, very much tuned to the German psyche. Moreover Germany is not, as believe those fond of broad generalizations, the country of discipline, despite appearing to be so outwardly. The Germans are a very special people. They sing very well together in choral groups, they march to the same martial step; but every movement of indiscipline, of rebellion in the world, reminiscent of Spartacus, originated in Germany.

>War is delightful to those who have had no experience of it.
>“Well, the old man has gone, a man who never told the truth when a lie would suffice.”

Protestantism, marx, maybe he's counting advances in science as acts as rebellion? Maybe wars count as acts of rebellion?

>I hate it because of the monstrous injustice of slavery itself. I hate it because it deprives our Republic of its just influence in the world, enables the enemies of free institutions everywhere to taunt us as hypocrites, causes the real friends of freedom to doubt our sincerity, and especially because it forces so many good men among ourselves into an open war with the very fundamentals of civil liberty: denying the good faith of the Declaration of Independence and insisting that there is no right principle of action but self interest.
>Hitlers come and go, but Germany and the German people remain.

imo opinion national socialism was ultimately a modernist(i.e. materialist) ideology in that the ultimate goal was the preservation and expansion of the german race at the cost of the german soul
in jüngers terms the german reich was a "titanic" structure posing as an "olympian" structure
imo this is the reason why jünger ultimately abandoned natsoc as the early promises of overcoming the modern mindset didnt come true in the end

>My good friends, for the second time in our history, a British Prime Minister has returned from Germany bringing peace with honour. I believe it is peace for our time. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Go home and get a nice quiet sleep.[

Not necessarily

I understand that not being able to grasp the concept of God objectively doesn't mean that he doesn't exist, but how does it follow that this means he does necessarily exist?
Because a thing either is or is not.
If a thing is not, then it must be.
When confronted with a situation in which a thing cannot be measured in order to prove or disprove it, basic schools of logic are the only things we can use to objectively reason.
Wew lad. This hits close to home. I've personally been a compulsory liar, and the only one it hurt was myself. I see it play out with my father as well. He's lived a tumultuous life but never faced reality, and thus kept lying to himself to the point where he's just a shell at this point.
Never lie to yourselves folks. The only thing you're doing is sheltering yourself from reality
>If a thing is not, then it must be.

>When confronted with a situation in which a thing cannot be measured in order to prove or disprove it, basic schools of logic are the only things we can use to objectively reason.
Name one thing that has been objectively proven without being measured.
