Talk:Enlightenment Thought

Based and redpilled
SomeCrusader - Fun Fact: The idea that the Enlightenment was against religion is largely flase. In fact, many enlightenment philosophers saw the preservation of religion as essential to maintaining social order. Most notable of such thinkers was John Locke, who said, "Promises, covenants, and oaths, which are the bonds of human society, can have no hold upon an atheist. The taking away of God, though but even in thought, dissolves all." Even Voltaire, who was a diest, had the same general though process, saying "If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him."

Nationalism is also an enlightenment ideal - and I’m a proud nationalist. Yet retards and dumbasses portray it as reactionary for whatever reason. Nationalism =/= chauvinism
