I think the great problem with people being unable to engage with culture in the proper way is that they are alienated from proper consolation. What i find great about higher culture is that it consoles me as i face my mortality. In contrast, the manner in which the "activist" lives grinds the soul into ash. I can't imagine any of them facing their mortality with dignity.

@@jasonchambers8010 Yes. Interesting, but vague. Winnie the pooh...Maybe you have a big essay, or a little book in you to expound on your thoughts here. An interesting take. Some of the current 'activism' I do find quite repulsive and very destructive. But I do not assume all 'activists' are repulsive. Scrutons venture into the socialist eastern bloc countries were quite 'activist', and brave.There are currently those like Ayaan hirsi Ali I greatly admire. These are very interesting topics.

I agree. Write it down. Pass it onto your families! Self publish a few copies. Or, have a special chest of family HISTORY/memories. I have little books written by totally non-famous people who published their memoires, or their poetry. They put their stories down to pass them along. We all leave this earthly realm and it's the stories that have imparted wisdom, and joy, through tragedy, hard learned lessons, endurance, beauty, truth, joy, love, comedy, that help to brighten this world, and keep people going, and working to continue to make this world a hopefully better place. I am so glad I came across Scruton's video's awhile before he died. RIP Sir Roger.

I totally agree about the life sapping, ugly, unfriendly, poor quality, unsustainable homes that are being built in the UK on a cheap template (cheap in quality, not price) and totally out of character with the best of its surroundings and best buildings. Built for profit of developers only - not comfort of the home occupier or aesthetic appreciation or the environment, not in appropriate locations. Templates unnecessarily ruining people’s lives and passed by planning departments due to govt and developer greed - people who lack integrity and imagination. We need beauty and quality and sustainability at a fair price.

...he's no Roger Scruton, but I have come to appreciate President Trump for this reason, but occasionally he crosses a line and strays from the point

@serpentines6356 3 жыл бұрын

@Tammy S. I am glad you noticed that. As a citizen in the U.S. I think Trump actually cared about our liberties. More often than our current President elect to be. I am often in disagreement with him, but he did speak some truths sometimes that were quite refreshing, that I just do not recall any politician saying for quite a long time. One of my conclusions is because Trump does have some backbone, and he is pro-American, that is why the globalists backed, and pushed for Biden. Biden has no backbone, is a 'yes', man, so is perfect for the Great Reset ideologues.

You are learning the wrong lesson form the collapse of the The East-European communism. The reason for the collapse was not the rise of national sentiment. It was pure financial and economic bankruptcy. It's a mere wishful thinking on your part to assume the former which doesn't cast a good light on you as a philosopher. 14:55
