Comments by "nozrep" (@nozrep) on "Rob Henderson: How luxury beliefs took over the elite" video.

who are you even talking about? it’s fine if that’s your opinion but you of course will well know that people like me and many other have no idea who the two you mentioned even are. It may be an unfortunate fact that these ideas must be rehashed and rewritten about each generation, because humans are forgettful and most are not scholars who read whoever the heck a Fussel is. However you’ve piqued my curiosity about archane or forgotten socio-psychological philosophers so, maybe I’ll google them later.

i think some of the talkers and authors definitely are offering solutions. Nevertheless if the culture does not shift back or shift again through a mass adoption of their ideas, a “revival”, if you will, then, welp, maybe the wokists will win. Which certainly no doubt, would be no good at all, as Pol Pot himself showed in his genocides of his peoples. As Stalin showed, as Mao Tsedung showed, as any number of other freedom hating dictators and kings have showed all throughout history.

i understand his job is to write and analyze but I wish he’d have been a bit more blunt and frank. I suppose that just my opinion of his presentation or speaking style though. Seems obvious to me that he is on to something with this “luxury beliefs” idea.

i don’t disagree. However I also believe slightly differently that many of “us” on the other side, such as the American Christian conservative family I grew up in, many of us totally dropped the ball, as it were, for many decades, unfortunately, recognizing it as it happened and grew, talking and speaking and praying against it amongst ourselves, yet also somehow, simultaneously totally underestimating the enemies resolve to destroy our freedoms. And while it may not we too late, and while we must fight regardless, some of us just completely underestimated the enemy and haven’t done as much as we should to protect all peoples’ freedoms against, for one example, the tyranny of the plandemic.

ah yes our token, haughty, well-read philospher guy in the comments section who mentions authors who few care about anymore as if those authors ought to be on the tip of all our tongues. Maybe they should. Nevertheless, they are not. And then we get someone in the comments with the luxury of time or career choice to know who even in the heck a Fussel is. ‘Twould be better should ye help us out sir, and be less haughty to a worker dude like me who has not the faintest clue, but I do like to learn anew. In the meantime, I love to snark in a comment section on people like you, with “luxury” 😅 of mentioning authors the vast majority of millennials and zoomers I am assuming have no idea even who they are or would have been.
