I thought your were referring to actual philosophy, the contemplation of what "the good" is, what is "justice" or actual metaphysics like, what is this reality, how do we interact with it.... because on those accounts leftists have had a lot to contribute and are hardly apathetic. Have you read any feminist marxism? are you familiar with critical race theory?
Sounds like a Sensor perspective. Prioritising the status quo over positive future change which is always possible. Sensors generally uphold status quo over positive change.
This is actually exactly what I mean. Marxists and their derivatives always see everything through the lens of oppression and coercion so there can be no metaphysical structure to obey, only the word of the ruling class as there is nothing higher than the will of man. It's the only natural consequence of a fully secular worldview: the attempt to reconcile a godless universe with a religious instinct that can't be erased. The divine order gets reassigned to the human mind, which is now the thing that creates all things anew. Metaphysical truth is then only a billion opinions which are all equally valid, hence everyone needs to be separated into ideological groups that vie for dominance. Individual responsibility is eschewed in favor of lived experience which now wholly determines your reality, so you can claim to be anything despite biological markers (I know some Marxists hate modern identity politics, but it is the natural progression of the same basic idea and it was de Beauvoir who already laid the foundation to this in 1949), and your circumstances are determined by external factors that exert influence on you.
Yes, thank you for you deep insight as always. It's only been 10 minutes since you insinuated your intellectual superiority with a highly relevant MBTI-centered rebuttal. First it was a problem with Te, now it's also unlikely to be intuitive without aligning with your political theory. I suppose if it were an INFJ saying these things, they couldn't actually be INFJ because reasons. At first I took you seriously, now it's just funny to see which goalpost you're going to move next to keep your cognitive dissonance at bay. It must be tough being a narcissist who has to congratulate himself constantly for his mere existence inside unverifiable, unfalsifiable labels.
This is something I hear from younger activists especially, but it ties with what I wrote earlier about metaphysical incoherence. It's the belief that wisdom is something that is produced in a specific era, so it can get outdated and must be reinvented to fit modern conditions. It's like when people call something "medieval" to imply that it's automatically wrong. Everything old is supposed to move with the world, not move the world.
Many benefit from flawed organisations and definitely don’t give a fuck about the greater good. I definitely think possibly the biggest problem in todays world is the refusal to make value judgements about much of what people do outside of criminal acts. Jesus was all about exposing wrongdoing and bad people. Today we are all equal and anything goes, even though that is not true.
You thought correctly. But to be honest, I used to be the same recalcitrant smart-ass (now I'm only the latter) who thought the entire world was wrong and needed to get on with the times. Now I know even the typical trite-sounding parental advice was true in some way, it was just never explained.
It would make me feel better if you started arguing against something that I've actually said instead of going for the same strawman every time someone refuses your caste system, but we can't have everything.
Well INFJs are the type mostly likely to want and achieve radical change, and ISTJs are probably the least likely to do the same. That’s Ni versus Si primarily. So I’m not far off the mark. I have an ISTJ brother who is anti religion and all for LGBT rights but likes the British Royal family. So he is pretty conservative, but note the things he opposes are things which are fashionably opposed. He believes in the technocracy so gets a lot of his opinions from experts who are widely respected.
