Didn't you just refrain from calling Teppler what you thought he philosophically was due to getting banned? You are a weird individual. It's a mystery why some people get some sort of boner out of trying to bait people. If I were anything, it wouldn't be against race but against that culture completely. Legit waste of space.

To understand Horza and feniin consider this-

How do you recognise a foundation myth? It fulfils three functions.

1)It explains the origin and structure of the world (and society).
2)It defines ultimate good and evil (and from those definitions are derived the values that are used to justify the holding of power).
3)It determines what is held sacred in that society.

For modern Westerners the story of WWII has become their foundation myth. It fulfils all three functions.

1)We live in the ‘Post-War World’. The lines on the map, the institutions, the sense of what era we live in, all arise from the starting point of WWII.

2)Ultimate evil is Nazis. Ultimate good is opposing Nazis. The values derived from these definitions are anti-racism, equality, diversity, anti-nationalism and so on.

3)The only thing that is held sacred, that cannot be denied or mocked in the contemporary West, is the Holocaust.

The problem is that all three functions are backwards or negative.

Instead of the origin event being one of fertility and new life, it was a conflagration of death and destruction.

Instead of ultimate good taking the central position in the story that slot is occupied by ultimate evil. Everyone knows that Adolf Hitler, the personification of evil, holds the centre point of the WWII story.

Instead of that which is held sacred being something mysterious and sublime it (the Holocaust) is an obscenity.

Having a negative foundation myth means the tree of life for Westerners is poisoned.

I'm pretty confident that I've made it perfectly clear what I think Teppler is philosophically.

You act like the Holocaust happened thousands of years ago. It was within my grandparents' lifetime.

Lol. Horza you’ve never had a well explained political opinion in your life. You attack and bait and pilpul. Any attempt to engage you in deeper discussion is met with that. It’s just funny when you get too overboard, triggered and then do stuff to get yourself banned on top of it all.

Even while denying that he is a racist Teppler just can't help but use antisemitic dog whistles like pilpul. Sorry that I quoted your own words, no doubt that justifies the insults and the threats of tattling to the moderators about how I hurt your feelings.

Maybe try debating and having an argument instead of petty insults and you won't get banned.

The first step is gaining enough knowledge to have an actual argument. Second step is gaining some emotional maturity.
It's impossible to have a reasoned debate with someone who is living in a separate reality. You don't understand facts. You ignore reason. You're a hateful conspiracy theorist holocaust denier. No sane person gives a shit what you think and your racist dogwhistles are honestly an embarrassment to this forum and the legacy of this game.

Hope that helps.
