Why is so hard for zoomers to grasp concepts like religion and that not everything is right-wing realated?

Let me break it to you really easily, OP. Zoomers don't know how to believe in something. They are completely self-centered in a solipsistic sense. Anything done with effort or passion or without irony is going to be called oof and cringe. Social Engineering, post-structuralism, post-modernism, and general decadence has created a nihilistic mindset in the Zoomer. The zoomer wants to be loved and to be popular, but can only do this with superficiality and easily-digestible content like memes. The idea of belief is beyond them. People are saying zoomers are the vanguard of new thinking, but they're just Cafeteria Christians, and doing it as rebellion against their gen x parents. The zoomer is insincere by nature.

People can be critically retarded.

says the guy who's only larping as religious to rebel against his hippie parents

Protagonists are always sympathetic. Even if they're bad people, you generally gain more empathy and relation by embodying their story.

lol

Pretty good post. I blame social media

Religion is a right-wing thing

interesting take

You ever notice how the people who are the most miserable in the world and depressed are the atheists?

Might as well put the incel face with this post

In America Black people and Hispanics vote blue but go to church more than the average white person.

Nah bro you're just cringe. Probably fat too.

It's kindve like teenagers are retarded.

Social media has bred a lot of this. Once you see people recording tragedies and accidents with their face in the camera you can see how big of an impact it's had on their generation. My question is will they have the self awareness to "grow out" of these habits like all past generations eventually do, or is it so ingrained in you by that point that you can't help it? Social media fascinates me with how much it's molded society in such a small amount of time.

Go ahead. Fundamentally, I think the zoomer is insecure and afraid of being insulted. Having opinions and beliefs opens you to debate or insults, which the zoomer doesn't want.

Go ahead. Fundamentally, I think the zoomer is insecure and afraid of being insulted. But the generation is young, so we'll see how they do in five years.

But they need not be *relatable* if the writer is good enough to make them sympathetic. Normies like these are why 99% of alien races are funny looking humans instead of something truly alien.

Zoomers and millennials are way more honest and principled than other gens. They seek to be accurate to reality instead of believing in things for the sake of their feefees.

Sorta, but on the same hand willingly lie and posture for clout on the same platform. Zoomers and millennials are definitely more contradictory, for better or worse.

Mayhaps if there weren't so many gamers and idiots in general who glorify far right ideals, nazis and nationalism ironically but not really ironically it wouldn't be as much of a problem. We must guard ourselves against inadvertently making these dumbos feel like they're in good company. It takes so little to send the wrong message when they are desperate for validation and believe in the most inane shit like the president speaking to them through a trip on Yea Forums.

The core dissonance of the social media generations is that everything revolves around deliberately crafting a public image of authenticity, itself a catastrophically inauthentic thing to do. They're twisted up in knots because they're basically living as minor celebrities would in ages past. Their total obsession with defensive irony and inability to be earnestly passionate is to defended themselves against the all seeing mob. You've seen what twitter is like when people say something Haram, right? I think it's a reaction to social circumstance, not an inherent part of their character.

Speaking in generalities of course. I know there are exceptions.

It's a double edged sword. On the one hand, it was used to implement a moral and ethic system into our societies, where virtues give you a ticket to the paradies while misdeeds send you straight to hell. On the other hand, societies formed with monotheistic religions adopt a very rigorous black and white thinking. I feel it's even more pronounced in the US, where the political landscape is also basically only divided in two.

Well, as for it being extreme right wing Christianity we have:
>Jews blammed for deicide
>hitler wrote in Mein Kampf that hes carrying out a holy mission by God
>the largest book censor of the time, the vatican, didnt censor Mein Kampf
>the vatican was the first ally of the NSDAP and helped them win a landslide by siding with them for the election instead of the german centre party, in return they got power of germany's education
>in every church in germany they celebrated hitlers birthday until his death
>on every SS soldiers buckle it said "Gott mit uns" or "God with us/on our side"
>german milita slogan was "Für Gott, Führer und Vaterland", "For God, Leader and Country" making Hitler into something above men but below god (maybe even the 2nd coming of jesus)

"Far right ideals" is why you have a 1st world society to live in with nice things like electricity and the internet where you can post your gay opinions.

>fascism is nothing but extreme left wing intersexionalism
Fixed it for u

Our religions to tend to be basically stuffy and conservative, but religiosity and associated behaviors isn't restricted to religions proper. Activist cells are functionally religious, for example.

There also is no right and left. Only good and bad ideas.

This is the truth and those disagreeing are the ones who feel targeted by what you said.

I must say that this way of perceiving the world is hardly limited to "zoomers". I don't know how many people I've talked to who completely lack any faith or conviction because they feel it's to hard to stand up for something or to defend a view point when it's questioned.

Well that was alot of nothing.

The ancient Jews weren't Democratic, it was the Ancient Greeks and Romans. All of the beauty and knowledge of the West came from pagans. The philosophical legacy of Medieval Christians was scholasticism, which nobody takes seriously.
The Romans believed in freedom of religion, Christians did not.
The Romans believed in scientific advancement, Christians burnt visonaries like Giodano Bruno.
The divine right of kings is a completely Christian doctrine.

This but in a non ironical way.

How are they to defend their convictions and views when they've grown up with "don't like what he says, downvote his post"?

Colored people vote blue for different reasons than white people (that is to say, not to support progressivism). Colored people are more conservative, religion-oriented and traditionalist than the average white person in the US.

That's right, user. Everything is black and white.

Yes, but in a purely pragmatic sense. Mussolini personally detested the Pope almost as much as the King, and planned to do away with both institutions after the war.

False. The niggers believe what I believe because they're niggers. They will fall in line if they know what's good for them.

Religious people are relatable, but not sympathetic. I don't want to play as someone who thinks that there's an invisible space daddy in the sky and he is the cause of everything the MC happens to not understand.

Worlds with magic and Gods are different though.

Your whole post reminds me of a cartel documentary where they claimed they help the community and give a lot to the people inside the community.
I think this type of help is their way to justify the horrible things theyre doing. Ultimately, its the best that they stopped holding us hostage. Otherwise I could not say that I dont believe in it or that the earth is rotating around the sun.

Btw, both sides on the slavery issue used the bible for their arguments.

Oh boy, the zoomers are mad.

>another, "muh Hitler" argument
You should look at what the jews were doing in Germany before he rose to power, and then take a second to think about all the death, destruction, and starvation that was a direct result of the allies winning WW2 and how they did so.

Far right ideals castrated and pretty much killed the father of the internet. All that we have DESPITE the right, not because of it. Conservatism is a disease.

Yeah, but like I said, this mind set isn't limited to the Reddit generation even though it's most prevalent there. I'm sure that you've met """intellectual""" boomers who hate religion for no apparent reason other than wanting to appear enlightened.

I come from Eastern Europe which has obviously been very divided in regards to religion, ideology and such, but it seems that this has ironically made us more tolerant to the opinions of others than Western Europe and Americans today. I mean you can at a family dinner have a communist, a liberal and a fascist without them hating each other outside of the discussion.

The Romans also believed in fucking children in the ass and mass slavery. At least Christians didn't elevate their kings to a godly status that allowed for tyrants like Caligula and Nero.

Don't you dare using Akkkarin's image with this retarded post, kike

Religion is:
>pro family
>Pro life
>anti homosexual

It's right by its very nature.

>At least Christians didn't elevate their kings to a godly status that allowed for tyrants like Caligula and Nero.
Wrong, see Louis XIV.

Everything nice you have is a result of the people and societies that came before you, and 99.9% of those peoples would be considered far right today. If you think the internet is good you're a fool. People always talk about how convenient it is and how much access to knowledge it gives, when all it does for most people is give them mental illnesses.

nice, saving this

Meanwhile far left ideals see thousands of men self castrate themselves and then kill about 40% of those

So the far left is a self eliminating virus, while the far right is just an ineffective virus. God Bless Centrism.

This comment is proof why conservatism is a disease and destroys progress in all forms, including technological.

>Mayhaps if there weren't so many gamers and idiots in general who glorify far right ideals, nazis and nationalism ironically but not really ironically
There aren't a lot, you're just fucking obsessed with this kind of shit. There are a lot of edgy teens that make edgy jokes or reference people like Ben Shapiro, but but you're a retard for assuming that it's not ironically just because "I said so", and a person making this kind of jokes doesn't mean he is a nazi, or a far-right ideologist, it just makes retards like you come out of the woodworks. The number of actual "far-right idealist", or "nazis" is relatively low, but as I said, you're blowing it out of proportion because you're obsessed.

Wrong, everything nice comes from scientists and researchers who are all, by nature, liberals relative to their time.
Just look at computer science: its forefather was a homosexual man.

No, I think jew hatred didnt come from nowhere. I believe it was the fault of the easter ceremony, in which they repeated that the jews demand the blood of jesus on their heads and all of their offspirng. I think that might be a reason why europe was antisemetic.
Also how can you blame the allies for fighting back the axis after pearl harbor ?
What did the jews do that was so bad it deserved extermination?
Social marxism?
Why not simply deport and disown them?

Look, I don't like religion either user but the idea that it's some kind of error or corruption of society is a meme. Religions and religiousness are natural extensions of the human social dynamic. They bubble up automatically and everywhere the same way governments and nations do. Unifying narratives are spontaneous and unconscious - they can not be destroyed. The best we can possibly do is try to steer them via dialogue - which is exactly what has happened historically and that other user's point. Christian tradition IS the western tradition in the sense that their histories are inseparable.

>B-b-but what about

Divine right of kings. Also, pope and priests being above reproach.

Western civilization is based on philosophical thought not science you dumb fuck.
Scientists didn't write the republic, nor did they develop the Socratic method

And Catholic Spain enslaving Indians and American protestants enslaving black people isn't mass slavery?

best post I've read on Yea Forums this month, have another (you)

40 fucking % of Romans were slaves

Yeah but they were not white, so it definitely doesn't count.

>not being able to seperate the church from god

Cant clean a pool while your swimming in it.

All of it stems from there though. Research only exists because of the ideals brought forth by philosophical thought. Creation of relatively mundane objects solely for enjoyment is due to the growth of liberalism and systems such as capitalism.

You fail to look at the greater picture.

Two points. One, in ancient time you were not born a slave. Christian slavery invented perpetual bondage. Two, the population of medieval Europe was even more enslaved under feudal bondage.

This is meant forThis

Religion is bad because it is willful slavery to god. God is the source of all evil and suffering in the universe.

This is by far the best thing I have ever read on Yea Forums.

Yeah you weren't born a slave, you were born into a shitty situation where you'd either die at the ripe old age of 7 or you'd become a slave.
Or maybe you were 1 in a million that managed to become a legionnaire

No one knows how to believe anything except what they are fed. Look at all the boomers that supposedly believe in Christianity yet do not practice and even ignore many important parts of their religion. The far majority of humans believe in memes and lack any real conviction, this has and always will be the case. It doesn't matter what retarded terms you apply to the individuals, human nature will never change. Zoomer, boomer, gen X, best generation, whatever the fuck you want to call it, there is no real difference.

They are more self aware, but act on it less. They know what is wrong but are too apathetic to do jack shit.

Western people are descendants of African nomads. The game of looking for who-came-before is futile and meaningless.
Not to mention ancient philisophers are not necessarily right-wing, which undermines the point you're attempting to defend to begin with.

>Religion is a desperation thing. So desperate to be right you pretend to know the inner workings of the universe. It's the most conceited shit.
As opposed to your humble self, who only claims to understand the inner workings of religion*.

It has nothing to do with honesty, it's all just a trite shit flinging contest between generations, no different than underage console wars. Facts have nothing to do with it, it's all about my team vs your team.

Because they're only ever exposed to Christianity since they live in first world countries. Most criticisms of abrahamic religions (not church, religions) can be made of Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, so you can extend it to all three if you want. I'm sure you're trying to imply some "liberals are afraid to make fun of islam" thing though.

They aren't?

Local bad; foreign good.

They might be, but it's mostly the first thing I said. If Islam was the dominant religion in the first world you'd here a lot more criticisms of Islam.

Yeah no not buying it. Considering how much ground they're gaining those atheist types still complain about christianity first and foremost even though christianity has been doing nothing but ceding ground in the last decade or so.

>someone we want to portray

They're unironically unafraid. They just think brown = ineffectual and ineffectual = moral. Ever notice how they brag about being /incapable/ of inflicting harm instead of being /unwilling/ to inflict it. (Ignoring antifa for simplicity)

This is the biggest issue I have with the modern mindset. That and genuine friendship seems to be a thing of the past. On three occasions I’ve watched The Lord of the Rings with three different groups of friends and each time they would always laugh at how “gay” Frodo and Sam were. As if they were too insecure to admit the idea of caring deeply for a friend of the same sex.
And anytime someone goes deep into criticism of something or someone, they just claim that person is being cringey as if it’s an acceptable rebuttal and means to end an argument.

Where the fuck do live bro. That ground they're gaining in the first world may be outpacing Christianity but it's still a drop in the bucket compared to the grip Christianity still has on most western countries. Islam has almost 0 presence in the USA compared to Christianity. Not only that but a lot of fedora types are the way they are because of religious childhoods, and very few of those grew up muslim. 50% of the time when you hear a fedora go on a rant about his hatred of religion it starts with "When I was in catholic school..."

Plus you're not even entirely correct about your core point. Many of the big atheist figureheads criticize Islam all the time, usually more so than Christianity even. Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris are good examples of this.

Religion is just the wrong conclusion to arrive at given the available evidence.

You can't impose logic based on the testimony of your limited biology onto reality itself. The truth is life on earth evolved to perceive a very limited set of stimuli and attempting to rationalize the nature of existence with only your incomplete and finite human understanding is impossible. This is evidenced by the fact that neither of the two predominant theories on the origin of the universe, the big bang and the existence of a god, are immune to the question "What came before them?" The plain Baryonic matter that humans can see and observe comprises just 5% of the known universe; we can't even see or interact with the rest because it is for all intents and purposes beyond our plain of existence. The true nature of reality is frightfully exotic and quite literally incomprehensible.

This thread says otherwise

"What came before them?" has answers in both the big bang theory and the god theory. For the big bang time only begun to exist after the big bang occurred, so the question is essentially "What happened before time?" which is illogical. For the god arguments just look up Aquinas' first mover argument, or any of it's derivatives.

Besides that I do agree with the rest of your post though. Solid arguments can be made for both sides but in the end fully subscribing to one like it's the only possibility is nothing but arrogance.

Most people these days actually grow up without religion and when you see it from the outside it seems cultish.

ill just say this, you arent smarter or any more enlightened than people who came before you because you have computers. religion deals with eternal issues humans face that cannot simply be brushed away by saying "well its dumb because the fundamentalists say that the earth is 6000 years old so lol religion has no value". youre just arguing against a strawman and not a proper argument for what religion is and why its a human universal cross-culturally that still remains today and will remain likely for as long as humans exist

Religions are cults, by definition.

Jesus fucking Christ I didn't come to this thread expecting a tactical nuke.

Cultishness is a basic human trait. The only thing that separates "cults" from other moralizing communities is the degree of fanaticism.

You can't. While it's POSSIBLE a god exists, given the available evidence of the last 500 years of scientific study it is far more probably that a god doesn't exist. Therefore it's logical to assume the former.
How can we even begin to conceptualize existence without time? And how can the big bang be self-creating? Rooted in our understanding of reality neither of these things should be possible and yet our presence on this planet is proof that they did.

Religion is the practice of gods law, and showing the lack thereof.
If history is written by the victor check out the book of judges.

The isrralitrs kept abandoning the word of god and everytime they did, they got fucked and put into slavery. Everytime they turned to god, and his law, they were saved.

If you want a modern day example, look out the window. See "sanctuary cities" run by the left.

>They seek to be accurate to reality
lol no

You know, it always bothered me that the whole thing about Protestants was that they split from the Catholic Church because the church because power hungry, abusive, used its influence for political gain and extorted money from its flock.

And now hundreds of years later Evangelicals, an offshot of Protestantism, attend churches that are power hungry, abusive, use their influence for political gain and extort money from their flock.

I dunno, it's just something funny to think about.

>this is a boomer meme
We're talking literal boomers here, right?

>While it's POSSIBLE a god exists, given the available evidence of the last 500 years of scientific study it is far more probably that a god doesn't exist.
This is retarded. It's not any more likely a god doesn't exist now than it did with our scientific study 5000 years ago. He either exists or he doesn't, there is absolutely nothing empirical evidence has told or can ever tell us about the existence of god. This is like saying you can weigh in on moral issues with science, it's completely outside it's scope. I say this as an atheist by the way so don't think Im a seething christcuck.

>Solid arguments can be made for both sides but in the end fully subscribing to one like it's the only possibility is nothing but arrogance.
Why fence-sit when there's tons of evidence and that supports the notion that there is no god and literally 0 evidence that isn't anecdotal or speculative that supports the contrary?

Yeah, so anyways, i joined a cult called marxism.

Show me one fucking piece of actual empirical evidence that says ANYTHING about god one way or the other.

I am talking purely about Yea Forums, where you do not have an avatar, Avatarfagging is against the rules, and the image adds nothing.
At least you posted a different girl, the guy who always posted the red head with the hair loops and blonde with the black bow is 100% the most recognizable and worthless poster on the board.
Just giving you benefit of the doubt that she isnt from the same anime.
