Chasm / Re: Liberalism causes terrorism

it is meeting people's needs to a degree unprecedented by any other cultural-economic system in human history.
If by "needs" you mean only food, water, and shelter, then yes those are easier to get than ever, but beyond that...?
Liberalism has no culture, it simply mashes pre-existing cultures together into a grey paste. Ever since liberalism has become the establishment, society has been on a spiral of implosion. There is far, far less social consensus now than there ever has been. That list of values you posted is heartily disagreed with by a large number of people in this country. Where do they go to avoid them?

While I'm walking in the forest, I've noticed that my senses seem to expand. I have a 360 degree sphere of perception rather than noticing only what's in front of me. (Hearing especially. it's amazing how much sound I block out during the day.)
Does technology induce stupor? If we paid full attention to our surroundings would we go crazy?

They were victims of multiculturalism, as much as we all are. We don't bomb random people though.

istaros, crow:
Thank you both for what you wrote in this thread. While intellectually to me, it seemed foolhardy to deny women the right to vote (women and men together build the family, why should they not build civilization together?), you have given me things to contemplate.
By which i mean, pointing out the intellect has limits that cannot be covered by experience. And I have no experience of another perspective. So where does my opinion arise?
I've been thrown into a state of agnosticism about my own belief. Perhaps in civilization-building, it's man's role to run politics? Even our society did that only a couple hundred years ago, and by most accounts it was a more pleasant time.
Or perhaps you're both backwards misogynistic closet-Muslims, which is what a liberal would say. Although to me, that seems unlikely.

Chasm / Re: Is metal populist?
« on: April 08, 2013, 03:24:13 AM »It's all pop music, but some of the pop music isn't even pop music. That either makes no sense, or all the sense you need.
Why do you listen to metal?

Chasm / Re: Is Capitalism bad?
« on: March 30, 2013, 07:51:44 AM »
Capitalism produces what people want. The problem lately is that most people want cheap tvs, cellphones, and horrible pop music. The iTard Generations.
Seems to me the fault lies with the desire, not as much with those who fulfill it. If the population wanted honest business practices, ecology, and high quality products, that's what they would get.
But they don't.

Somehow, I suspect that you would have nothing to fear from them.
Obviously a lot of metallers look quite silly. Usually the ones that either too young to understand it, or just too stupid. Immortal belongs to the latter group.
The original motivations for dressing that way for bands like Darkthrone and Burzum (opposition to safe plastic culture, pagan heritage, and anti-christiantiy) have been lost and now it's just to look EEEEEEVILL!!!
