The Metaphysical Crisis Of The Men's Movement
The men's movement seems to be hitting a snag at the current moment. since I carry some thinly veiled Marcionite beliefs, let me clarify that the god of the old testament was nothing like the god of the new testament, the former one bore out in the children of Israel (dogwhistles nonwithstanding) whose inherent traits were passed on to his children and are simultaneously reflected in the traits of gentile women. I reject monism wholesale because as noted, everything begets its opposite, which reflect themselves in things that oppose (not to be confused with "opposition", mind you) the main source of truth, or the absolute. in layman's terms, the absolute of one thing is opposed by new revelations which are reflected in the opposing phenomenon or things/objects which exist within the new revelations of the opposing things. this might sound nonsensical but hear me out. there's not been much of a pushback against sixty some years of feminist philosophy in the humanities aside from the rough anti-intellectualism of "self help" gurus, and that worries me. it will probably reach a zenith point but likely not in my lifetime. when that happens, history will restart and cycle back into primitve anarchy where it all started, and history will march towards "progress" again. time will tell. through some intellectual and personal revelations, my younger self would have assumed that, being the young Randian objectivist I was, accepting Karl Marx as being the point in the history of philosophy where “everything went wrong”, through further inspection considering the outcome of the “end of history” as Francis Fukuyama pointed out, that Hegel was to blame for our current undertakings in society as the world finally accepted neoliberalism as the winning philosophical formula that survived the battle of ideas, going from feudalism to monarchy to classical liberalism to fascism, to the cold war where communism and liberal democracy fought it out until the former collapsed at the end of 1989 to give way to a world where peace was the only option. However, only for a rapid increase in technology and communications through after the turn of millennia to give way to a state of affairs where pleasure is mandatory and self-growth is discouraged in favor of the “greater good of everyone else”, I have once again reassessed that problem may not be with either Hegel or as I previously assumed Marx but rather what occurred in between those intellectual titans’ ideological reign, the likes of Ludwig Feuerbach and Bruno Bauer which tried to demystify the young Karl Marx of all supernatural pretentions which could have lent a more humanistic, not to be confused with humanitarian, element to his proletarian project. Hegel might have been a bit of a tyrant but at least he believed in God, the Young Hegelians tried to rewrite political history as being devoid of religious symbolism, something was not quite corrected until Carl Schmitt declared all politics to be a theocratic project. As its always been. Saint Augustine didn’t make his city of God so that people could pretend that everything is just a battle of material gains. there is a truth from above which guides all political actions, everything can be traced back the law of Moses set upon the Jewish people in the Ten Commandments, the original social contract, despite the fact they rejected it unceremoniously and continue to act in their own self interest against the interests of others, so a new covenant had to be established in its place. The one for the rest of us, we gentiles, against the former’s past and current transgressions.
