Comments on: Cioran on “Freedom” http://www.thecivicplatform.com/2007/01/29/cioran-on-freedom/ The Civic Platform has been launched to discuss and debate issues related to the West viewed as a cultural compound of Greco-Roman, Christian, and Germanic past. We firmly believe that race informs culture and is a necessary precondition for cultural identity and integrity. Hence, this political vehicle is dedicated to the preservation of the ethnic genetic interests (EGI) of people of European ancestry. Furthermore, since the West faces a demographic crisis of unprecedented proportions (for example, in 1950 Whites represented 30 percent of the world's population. This number will plummet to 8 percent by 2050), we hold that the current trends threatening the racial, historical, and cultural identities of people of European ancestry must be stopped and reversed, if the West is to survive and endure as a distinct racial, historical, and cultural entity.

Cioran, like Nietzsche, was first and foremost an aphorist. His excessive language and aphoristic style served to express his passionate nature. Cioran exaggerated in order to better simplify. How deep is your familiarity with Cioran?

Cioran, like Nietzsche, was first and foremost an aphorist. His excessive language and aphoristic style served to express his passionate nature. Cioran exaggerated in order to better simplify.

I highly doubt that his scope of experience extends very far beyond his own limited cultural & perceptual reality tunnel. His "logic" assumes that: 1.) since time immemorial human socio-political groupings essentially have changed little and the modern day incarnations we see today are as true 5000 years ago globally as it is now. 2.) all culture groups are monolithically determinable by their universal desire to be ruled by dictatorships. I don't think I need to go further into a wholesale refutation of the inherent weakness and pathetic "scholarship" of such incredibly asinine declarations. I think it is especially grievous that you can endorse the unfounded extrapolation that all people have a desire to be ruled based only on the limited observations based on a specific regional and cultural "study". Very disappointing.
