      Aaah, TheEnlighment(TM)-enjoyers, of course, the thing that according to crypto fascists made the West so great and it stopped somewhere near Poland according to poster child AdamSomething.

      Yes, I remember the wave of "Liberal in the original sense" dickheads populating the ¿howdidtheycallit? "Esceptic Youtube" or some shit? The Sargon dipshit and all that r*ddit bunch that went from atheism to performative christians.

      The Enlightenment's ontology, rooted in the new science of the 17th century, created a vision of human beings in nature which provided weapons to a new race-based ideology which would have been impossible without the Enlightenment. The concept of "race" was birthed by the Enlightenment.

      The Enlightenment was essential in providing the intellectual basis for Western imperialism, justifying white supremacy through scientific rationality. In other words, the West invented scientific theories to “prove” the superiority of white people and acted as if they were truth.
