Other philosophy communities have only interpreted the world in various ways. The point, however, is to change it. [ x ]

I'm reading the introduction, and this comic is pretty accurate. One paragraph is compelling and then the next is the most virulent racism you could possibly write. Some of his conclusions seem to be ignorant of the very thing he just wrote as he is completely blinded by the superiority of Germans or some shit.
Big 
energy
Also important to note Hegel purposefully wrote to obfuscate the meaning in his books so that poor or uneducated people wouldn't understand it and the academics would have to teach classes on it to grasp his meaning
it's always nice to remember that a lot of the time, the bits in between the known pages of philosophers is often like 300 pages of extreme racism before their next good idea TM
Martin Luther 1523:
If I had been a Jew and had seen such dolts and blockheads govern and teach the Christian faith, I would sooner have become a hog than a Christian. They have dealt with the Jews as if they were dogs rather than human beings; they have done little else than deride them and seize their property.
from "That Jesus was born a Jew"
Martin Luther 1543:
On the Jews and Their Lies
from "On the Jews and Their Lies"
marty really hit his stride after getting adopted by germanic princes that were really into not paying the church but still really hated jewish people
Man Martin Luther was my first role model, I guess you shield your child from certain realities until they become a bit older. I was taught in sunday school about him all the time. About his views on forgiveness (freely given, not earned) on baptism (choosing a religion must be a free choice) and so on. Then one day me and my dad are discussing Dietrich Bonhoeffer and the role of the church in Nazi Germany when I think 13 year old me still full in fanboy mode says "Man if only Martin Luther had been alive to see what became of the church he founded, he'd have put a stop to this". The moment my dad looked at me with sad pity and started off with this "Well.." was just brutal. Like full on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXLicO0CRvk .
Good wake up call though, if someone as learned and critical of his own belief as Martin Luther could succumb to what is in my view such an obvious sin, then what kind of brainworms might be lurking in my mind??
