The Roman Republic rebelled against the Etruscans, and won because the Etruscans were decadent, and amoral, and the Romans were not.
The Roman republic fell to Julius Caesar because it was corrupt, and weak and he was not.
The US rose to power because it was comprised of moral men, who valued hard work. It is now falling into an ochlocracy because it is not.
Japan was invaded constantly, nuked twice, had its cities burned, and is surrounded by enemies. Yet their civilization is improving. The Japanese value merit, and strictly adhere to the law.
>I don't have anything to say think for yourself shitbag. what do you define merit and value as why is "benefiting society" a good thing why is benefiting society a good thing for the individual?
Luke Williams
>why is benefiting society a good thing for the individual? Would you say that a society which doesn't benefit the individual has no merit? >think for yourself shitbag. If you don't ask questions, are you really thinking, or simply assuming that you know something?
Blake Thomas
You apparently know the definition of merit and value, cocksucker, or you wouldn't assume to know that a lack of worshiping "merit" is what kills society.
John Hall
>You apparently know the definition of merit and value, cocksucker, ,but don't you say that I don't know?

Tolerance is the highest moral among those with no morals.

Dylan Fisher
I was just asking him questions because his assertions contradicted themselves. He was saying on the one hand that "dependence kills society," but still trying to say that there aren't merits. Clearly dependence is a demerit, and since the opposite of dependence is independence (self support) that would be a merit.

>"dependence on society kills society," Best argument for individualist freedoms if I've ever read one.
Jacob Smith
"Ask not what your country can do for you" ~ JFK. Any society must be built upon those whom are strong enough to carry themselves. This is why the traditional view is that society should only provide for those whom can not provide for themselves, and that which the individual can not provide for themselves. Any more, or less than this, and society is worthless.
Jack Carter
I had intended to mock his evasive pilpulry, but it seems I was unclear in that regard. I should have expected that, using only text on a Mongolian knot-tying imageboard
