Why can't we argue that Heidegger's philosophy was crap because he was a Nazi?
After all, his philosophy is about how dependent our existence is on our social context, and how it would help us engage with the world upon realizing that, and given how easily he caved in to his own social context despite coming up with this 'ontological view', we can come to the conclusion that his philosophy is crap at what it set out to do in the first place.
>we can come to the conclusion that his philosophy is crap at what it set out to do in the first place.
It's still pretty dang good at providing a framework for looking at the *world*.
It seems to be a huge problem that people who advocate for a philosophy of practical life seem to be completely impractical in their own life.
e.g. Nietzsche's philosophy of Will despite him being a diseased aristocratic pussy, Sartre's philosophy of freedom while supporting Maoism etc...
where do you find the problem? It's not like they are putting forth theories of disciplin.
>everything related to the Nazis is inherently bad and has nothing to do with anyone else
Stop thinking like this.
His 'philosophy' (in Being and Time) is utterly contentless and can be adopted 'authentically' by anyone.
>Why can't we argue that Heidegger's philosophy was crap because he was a Nazi?
Because -- by and large -- a lot of people on here have taken the redpill and seen that National Socialism is the way of the future and the way to ensure the future for the white race.
Nazis weren't as bad as your liberal professors brainwashed you into believing; in fact, what they did what admirable
While I cannot speak for Sartre, as far as Nietzsche is concerned, the man developed his Liebensphilosophie to over come his ailments. If any of us were in his position, we would be whining and weeping.
Furthermore, if one was in such a pitiful state, one would, as Nietzsche did, seek out the ancients like Epicurus. If life is suffering, and one ought to escape suffering, one must embrace it and make use of it.
>Because -- by and large -- a lot of people on here have taken the redpill and seen that National Socialism is the way of the future and the way to ensure the future for the white race.
Not, not really. It's more along the lines of "many people here are rational adults who can make a distinction between the author's personal views and their works" (inb4 muh death of the author).
The Nazi as the touchstone of evil is a complete fascinating phenomenon. The have become demons enough to blot out any virtue or merit that they did have.
Was there not masculine might and virile honour among their ranks? Was there not unwavering loyality and dedication? Was there not discipline and will?
The only thing lacking was a good cause.
>masculine might and virile honour among their ranks? Was there not unwavering loyality and dedication? Was there not discipline and will?
you can't have this in a liberal cuck-world, take the redpill
We need to find a place to move people and create a white nationalist socialist community against degeneracy and leftism
>The have become demons enough to blot out any virtue or merit that they did have.
People still discuss Carl Schmitt as having an immense influence on modern political theory, so I guess that if you were influential/innovative enough, then even being an ardent Nazi didn't harm your intellectual impact.
There shouldn't be a stigma around people who were Nazis. The horrific crimes comitted by Hitler were not made known - even to high ranking officials of the army, let alone citizens - until after the war was over.
With the crimes out of the way, what did the Nazi party actually represent for Germany? What is national socialism? What were the core ideas that followers of Nazism in Germany during Hitlers reign believe in? And why are these core ideas discrediting to anyone?
Schmitt and Heidegger are both examples of thought transcending this non-sense. Yet, Heidegger is certainly being dragged down.
It's much easier to look at biography than at thought, that's why we sink so low. (Oh man, I fucking love biographies; favourite genre of reading).
Why should I stop thinking like this? It is precisely exactly that way.
>Fighting against an owned and biased media and a corrupt banking system that impoverished a great people and turned them into wage slaves is a "bad" cause
gr8 b8 m8
The Nazis were actually great. Ask /pol/ and they'll redpill you to the truth
Spooky
There is literally nothing wrong with National Socialism.
>If any of us were in his position, we would be whining and weeping.
whining, weeping, embracing horses, all that stuff!
>fighting might
>even though might makes right
>good cause
Face it, Hitler lost because he was bound to, and because he was bound to lose he was evil.

no.
>>fighting might

That's not how it works lad.
oh do tell how it works, oh impotent one
Who is mightiest is determined by the fight. You don't just pick a mightiest and then decide not to fight it.
According to your logic nobody should challenge a boxing champ because he is the best.
oh, you just didn't finish reading my post.
That's okay, you didn't have any value to begin with anyway.
He almost won desu, just shouldn't have fuck the russkies.

And then I realized that those people that were on the side of Germany, that they never thought of German victories or the German glory. What they really liked was the idea of the Blitzkrieg, of London being on fire, of the country being destroyed. As to the German fighters, they took no stock in them. Then I thought, well now Germany has lost, now America has saved us from this nightmare, but since nobody can doubt on which side I stood, I'll see what can be done from a literary point of view in favor of the Nazis. And then I created the ideal Nazi. Of course, no Nazi was ever like that, they were all full of self pity; when they were on trial no one thought of saying, "Yes, I'm guilty, I ought to be shot; why not, this is as it should be and I would shoot you if I could." Nobody said that. They were all apologising and crying...
No, they were kind of pathetic for reasons that have nothing to do with morality. National Socialism is a regressive philosophy which only appeals to resentful degenerates.
And I don't mean regressive as in "Anti-leftist" it's literally regressive in that it clings to an imagined past. They lost the war for a reason.
Here's a question for you, if the Jews really are guilty of everything the Nazis accuse them, how are they not the master race?
Any book discussing Carl Schmitt I've seen feels it has to spend the first half on tempering his Nazi association
>how are they not the master race?
What makes you think they're not?
de Maistre reading recs?

BASED BORGES jajajaja
>liberal profs
I live in Singapore btw, so I roughly understand how it feels like when the government shoves a massive dick called National Service up your ass.
Basically I know how to be a nationalistic Hitler Youth more than you do - right down to marching in parades and saluting army officers. Even now im conditioned to feel emotional about the memories even though its all manipulative. I guess that makes me more authentic in the ontological sense when talking about this.
You muhricans who talk about such shallow neo-fascism will never understand the true being of it.
The inner circle and upper ranks of the Nazi party were ultra-degenerate. They had bad taste in art too. Hitler's favourite singer was a Jewess.
