@principlesnotmood: A very unique quote from Schopenhauer. #philosophy #quote #reading #arthurschopenhauer #schopenhauer

Ergus Murgus :

nationalism teaches us to be proud of things we didn't do and to hate people we dont know.

XD133742069 :

Anyone who disagrees has literally nothing going for them

duzykarakan 🇵🇱 :

or religion

grosserweissermann :

Is he Jewish?

skylimemine :

Nationalism is just taking pride in accomplishments and contributions done by people hundreds of years ago whom have no idea of your existence

Hans🇦🇶 :

You should always be proud of your people if they did something good

ً :

The cheapest sort of pride is national pride; for if a man is proud of his own nation, it argues that he has no qualities of his own of which he can be proud; otherwise he would not have recourse to those which he shares with so many millions of his fellowmen. The man who is endowed with important personal qualities will be only too ready to see clearly in what respects his own nation falls short, since their failings will be constantly before his eyes. But every miserable fool who has nothing at all of which he can be proud adopts, as a last resource, pride in the nation to which he belongs; he is ready and glad to defend all its faults and follies tooth and nail, thus reimbursing himself for his own inferiority.

freakmaster :

absolute cope for ethnics,every succesful nation became powerful bc of tribalism and rcsm

🇲🇰🇧🇬μаκеδоνиαнμоνаρкιсτ☦️ :

disagree, the pride of one's own people comes from the understanding and continuity of these people which is what we are essentially.

ᛦ 𝙇.𝙈𝙖𝙧𝙞 ᛘ :

wouldn't listen to the dude against nature

Hairy_tickles :

Mr. Teep :

Wrong, you should be proud of your nation and honour your ancestors who set the foundations and passed on their knowledge and skills

"I prefer KFC over burger king" - Descartes

Elio🇱🇧 :

I agree and disagree to a certain point

🦂 :

Said Schopenhauer, Not knowing his country would be replaced because of his thinking.

f🍀 :

Genti :

The Prophet ﷺ said: “He is not one of us who calls to ‘asabiyyah (tribalism/nationalism), nor he who fights for it, nor he who dies for it.” — Sunan Abī Dāwūd 5121, graded sahih

CLYDE :

You shouldn't be proud or ashamed of your ethnicity because you were born with it and have no control over it

ryguu08 :

if schopenhauer said that, he said it in a time when europe consisted entirely of natives. i wonder if he would agree with a literal interpretation of a single quote from within today's moral and cultural landscape. prolly not ✌️

TheGrecophile :

they are making Up schopenhauer quotes now 😭

Kostis :

rare schopen w if he really said it

A :

Not even a quote bro😂

WestWizardW :

severebeast :

that's what he thought about patriots back in those days, very different now when every western european country is quite diverse and the push is to make foreigners seem no different than people originally in the lands
