Western Culture is Modern Civilization, full stop.

Modern civilization exists within the framework of classicism and cannot be understood without it. You cannot properly perceive the present without knowing the past. It is like trying to identify a man by his shadow alone.

>classicism
Is this one of those arguments that really doesn't mean anything and will lead no where?
This is not a matter of trying to identify a man's shadow, or a country's shadow, because western culture is technically still here and is distinguishable from other cultures around the world who clearly won't be regarded as modern civilizations as they are considered backwards civilizations.

Absolutely not, which is why most universities are scrambling to cut all funding to classics department.
Get in while it is still possible, in 10 years there will be no more classicism.

>what is philosophy
>what is rationalism
>what is democracy
this is the foundation of western civilization, brought to us from greece via rome

Please explain what you think culture is.

McDonalds and Walmart

No it's not. Modernity is only part of the greater aspect Western Civilization.

No.
It's ironic that Small Liberal Arts College liberals and radicals have read more about Western Civilization than the larpers on this board.
I guarantee 85% of you have never taken a single Latin course.

Nope, and neither can a Judeo-Christcuck

Yes.

>neither can a Judeo-Christcuck
Christianity is a product of Greece. It was essential and made enormous contributions to the West's development.

No, it was a product of Galilee technically.

Isn't that an argument from authority? Just because you have more knowledge on something, doesn't mean you can define what Western Culture should be to people

I don't know we just roamed freely most of our youth and let fantasy play. Board games, went fishing, built treehouses (one treehouse), made rafts, played field games like brännboll (like baseball) or had sports tournaments like tennis, high jump, running, long jump.

Then westarted with mopeds, it was fun making a 1hp moped up to 5,5hp :D

Then cars, beers, women :D

Galilee was hellenized. Furthermore, you make the mistake of ignoring the entire exegesis of the church.

Here I'll elaborate. You don't need to know latin or about Rome or about mythology or Christianity to know that the modern Western world is fucked.

It doesn't take knowledge of what once was to see that. For fucks sake, the majority of the classics department at any given University are communist shit heads. If studying the classics literally has no affect on your view of the over arching politics pushed at colleges than what even is the point?

If knowledge of the classics couldn't stop the west from being placed on it's current trajectory than it's not very powerful.

Ahh yes in year 10-14in school (high school?) we had a battle electro music vs heavy metal, listened to electro in private but was a heavy metal publicly :D

>Isn't that an argument from authority?
No.

Yes, it is. Rhetorical question retard

>For fucks sake, the majority of the classics department at any given University are communist shit heads
Its full of 'communist shit heads' because it was subverted. Its everything they don't want you to know. You fell for the trick, buddy.

>Yes, it is.
It isn't. Culture isn't based on opinion.

It's based on perception, thereby opinion. How do you view african culture? How do they view their own cultures? Will that not ultimately decide how their culture will develop?

That doesn't make it Greece brainlet

Western culture is and indirect idea of community. While very cohesive it's very problematic, because all you fucks are low IQ. Classism is a human idea,, Western culture is all 1s and 0s.

>It isn't. Culture isn't based on opinion.

what do you deadlift, OP?

Again, it's not so important that you need it to criticize the west.

If it was so easily subverted than you don't need it to fix what is wrong.

Don't get me wrong, they're good stories for the people, but don't let them consume you. We need a new culture centered around ideals of race and truth. I don't believe the classics offer that.

He probably can't even deadlift twice his body weight.

You didn't read Shakespeare, Bacon, Aquinas, or Descartes in highschool?

>If it was so easily subverted
It was what young men studied to understand the world for 5000 years, and not for nothing, but classicism itself hasn't been subverted, just the institutions that would traditionally be responsible for teaching it.

Western culture is everything inspired by the Greeks and Romans up until 457 AD and then a giant gap filled with Semitic slave shit until the Renaissance, when Euros started doing things again because they rediscovered their heritage
