Liberte, egalite, fraternite

Liberte, egalite, fraternite

These words are basically the foundation of our current society and understanding of the world. Are there any critiques of this out there? Why are these so axiomatic?

>Why are these so axiomatic?
Because history has been a controlled dialectic since the Masonic revolt of 1789.

I guess that settles it. Thanks user.

jean-luc nancy was obsessed with the idea of 'fraternity' as a model of anti-thanatopolitics until derrida thoroughly trashed the idea in Rogues. he never used the word again after that.

First, you can't have freedom and equality. One is about choosing your own risk/reward ratio in life, the other is about being treated like others.

Fraternity is altruism. And forced altruism is not possible therefore it should never be a law.

As personal values/virtues, they are manageable. As laws, completely irresponsible.

There are a lot of critiques of Enlightenment. Burke, de Maistre, Schmitt, but also the Frankfurt school and a lot of poststructuralism and postmodernism.

Even Hegel and Hegelians, cautioning against atomistic or axiomatic foundations of social order, are critics of Enlightenment as a ready-made "program." Like the postmodernists.

You wouldn't happen to have any more pics like that would you?

Like what?

>Liberte
>egalite
>fraternite
Pick one. And make it liberte or egalite because people are going to hate each other no matter what.

freedom to live as one pleases and equality under the law cannot coexist?

Wouldn't any law restrict your freedom?

I wouldn't interpret the saying as a collection of ultimates, but as worthy goals to strive towards collectively.

Good Lord those women have absolutely gigantic feet

This is a degree of shitposting I can get behind.

First, equality under the law is not the same as equality.

Second, freedom is about taking responsibility thus require an analysis at the individual level. Equality disregards that because it is about collective judgment.

I guess you can make the pragmatic case that some segmentation is valid (for instance people with the same education can be approximatively put together) but fundamentally it is incompatible.

yes but no one believes in 100% freedom unless they're fucking nuts. of course these three things are mutually exclusive if you take them only at their most extreme absolutes, but having less than 100% freedom doesn't mean you have *no* freedom

What does it mean to strive for both freedom and equality? Either you play the game to win on your terms (freedom) or you don't.

I'm quite biased because I don't trust anyone using the word equality. It can either mean one thing or its opposite.

only the french would think you can have liberty and equality

>calls others pseuds
Really makes you think
Fuck, you have a really good point in not having a good definition of equality. I'd intuitively peg it as equal opportunity, holding non-personal factors still. I don't like it, it certainly has holes, but something along the lines of that.

Now, I don't think that actual end-game equality is the facism-tier political correctness thing. I don't know if it's the correct way to approach, but it's a tool that bluntly tries to silence and control certain attitudes we want to root out.

Honestly, the fact that I lacked a deeper understanding of this motto is the reason why I started this thread.

What a post! Awesome.

I believe that the discussion within this thread could be greatly enhanced with more pictures.

If you aren't a paedophile, you don't know shit about literature.

Liberty...from what?
Equal...in what way?
Fraternity....with whom?

>First, equality under the law is not the same as equality.
Equality outside of any context is just a meaningless word, the question is equality of what and I can tell you when the French bourgeoisie made equality their demand they weren't aiming at equality of wealth or anything like that. However you can interpret words however you want and revise the historical record to serve your interests if you're clever enough.

>Second, freedom is about taking responsibility thus require an analysis at the individual level. Equality disregards that because it is about collective judgment.
The whole liberal notion of freedom I am pretty sure requires law, if you demand freedom from all law you're going beyond the typical liberal notion of freedom under law into some form of anarchism.

This is how you can tell scatfags are posting. They put their diaper tier shit above anything.

I think it's something psychological about wanting to distance oneself as far as possible from the vagina, if that makes sense. I have no proof.

Personally I go evo-psych, with the smell of female sweat being associated with copulation and therefore arousal, but there might be something in that.

Ad Maiorem Dei Gloriam

A better motto. A better set of words. For what is man without God? Just a beast.

Why do Christians shitpost so much?

We learn from the best, e.g.

Acts 17:22-23 Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious.For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, To The Unknown God. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.

Footfag here. It's literally just a shunting of attraction to something analogous to the usual sex bits. I find feet attractive in the exact same way I find anything else attractive. It's just good. Go look at a pair of tits and try to actually track your own reactions inside your mind as you reflect on the contours and jiggliness and softness (etc.), and it's the same thing as when a footfag looks at a qt foot.

Causation could still be complex, god knows. But the actual mechanics of it is not particularly different from any other attraction.

Titus 1:12-13 One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, the Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies. This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply...

>For what is man without God?
Free.

true

had the same thought.

and then there's the girl who inadvertently exposes her feet, and a footfag loses his shit. i admit i've been caught staring once or twice, but i don't think they caught on.

are there any footfag writers who've written about feets?

Her pinky nail is weird.

>Free.

For what? What is freedom without purpose, without a cause to achieve in one's freedom?

each man should invent his own goals. sure, he can pick up the most convenient goal that comes his way, but is it right for him?

a child is wonderful on its own. why does god need to interfere? isn't it the height of cruelty to mute the innocent? the concept of the original sin IS the original sin.

Pushkin, and it shows a bit in Eugene Onegin. Fitzgerald had the fetish, according to Sheilah Graham, as well as shyness about baring his feet.

>isn't it the height of cruelty to mute the innocent?

I think it's the height of foolishness to assume wisdom in the untutored. We are all faulty, after all. The inexperienced have no more valuable things to say than the experienced, and often have a good deal less to say. That's part of the true point of Original Sin. There is no innocence, not even in the youngest children.

ah, but education should refine the child's spontaneity, not suffocate it. that's the point. oh, and stop the child from killing himself and others.

Do not put touch a book with your feet.
It is highly disrespectful.

people like you fail to see that believing in anything, in god included, means precisely to be a beast. it is a pity to be so stupid.

My pinky nail grows basically straight up. It's weird and ugly as fuck.

It's because STDs are more common now.

God's existence implies the soul's existence, and man is bestial without the soul. Without the soul man is just another animal that eats and sleeps and shits. With the soul, man walks upon the Earth and thinks it beautiful, gazes at the stars and feels their infinity, looks at a fire and feels its comfort. To have a soul is to be human, and one cannot have a soul without feeling the tug of the one who created that soul. God draws all things to himself.

Retarded post-modern drivel.

whatever you do, don't watch death proof.

i could call your position drivel, and you wouldn't be better for it. explain yourself.

The humanist principles that these words stand for have become corrupted just look at the West today

It's true, though, whatever that means.

That's some hella spooky shit you got going on there. Personally, I don't have a soul like you christians think you do, but here I am: walking the earth, gazing at the stars, feeling comfy. It's not the belief itself that turns a man into this 'beast' you imagine, but rather the attitude he has towards his beliefs.

That made me think it'd be confusing to be a Muslim footfag

Oh, nice to see you again bro

Junichiro Tanizaki, a good Japanese author. He wrote a whole book around a girl's feet, he doesn't talk about anything else than that. Check out Fumiko's Feet or Fumiko's Legs, depending on the translation

Kerouac was into feet as well. In The Subterraneans he says he wanted to touch and kiss his girl's feet, and that he loved her toenail polish

Start by kissing a clean and soft foot, then try to lick it. You're done.

Super nice feet and even cuter face. Name?

Imagine walking into an apartment complex where everything is shades of blue. There is a bitter argument between those who love Royal Blue and those who love Persian Blue. There are a few oddballs who champion Periwinkle or Cornflower, Cerulean or Azure, but most people in the apartment call them cranks.
That is the modern West where all of politics is a fight between various shades of Liberals.
OP is someone asking,
>"Why is all of art based on the color blue?"

Because society is Communist and has been Communist since the Enlightenment.

what's wrong with those books?

It leads inevitably to Totalitarianism as the Will of the People places itself above all law & order. Napoleon/Hitler/Stalin are just figureheads of The People that the revolution of 1789 unleashed.

Right-wing Populism and Left-wing Populism are two sides of the same coin leading to totalitarian dictatorship. The populist dictator absolves himself of all responsibility and will commit atrocities on behalf of "The People".

Words aren't the foundation of anything. Actions are.
