He's like a reactionary Dr Seuss
Best comment 😂
I wonder if "Bobus Higgins" may have been a reason for Tolkien coming up with the name Bilbo Baggins.
Could well be. It used to be the case that every educated man was well familiar with TC's writings.
Incredible. Lot of material here for a comic strip / movie / etc featuring the various characters in their relevant contexts. It’s incredibly relevant, he had the centrists nailed “Mr Facing Both Ways” 😂
you could make a batman analogue and have a gallery of villains based on these
@@lorefox201 Harvey Centrist and his Gold Sovereign coin(hedging for inflation). Serious though I wonder , Vox Day has comic writing team on staff. Comic set in that age would be interesting too.
@@cannibalholocaust3015 we could try pitching it to him but he's going full "China Stronk" lately
@@lorefox201 Yeah, can't stand his China boosterism. I want China -- the regime, that is -- destroyed, not celebrated.
Carlyle was the 'radical centrist' of his day. Compare his account of the revolution in France to that of Webster, or observe his fundamental sympathy with the Chartists.
"Why of the two near contemporaries raised under nearly identical environment, was Thomas Carlyle, the perverter of history and admirer of that curse of Europe, Frederick of Prussia, a sour, impotent "teetotaler," and Robert Burns, the National Poet of Scotland and the embodiment of tolerance in combination with traditionalism, a somewhat immoderate drinker?"
tfw AA coining the term 'Car King' was just channelling Carlyle energy.
He's played us like a fiddle.
Another great one is "Patented Digesting Apparatus"; it represents a person under a materialist philosophy, such as Utilitarianism (or even Liberalism, arguably), that downplays or denies the soul. Of course, if a person lacks a soul, he is merely a (digesting) machine, an apparatus, that takes in food, processes it, and releases the resulting waste product.
"Cheap and Nasty" - also reminds me of North American restaurants.
"The newer German literature captured him completely at that time, and no one did more than Carlyle to convey its knowledge to the English. In the space of a few years, he published a translation of Goethe's Wilhelm Meister: William Meister's Apprenticeship (Edinb. 1825, 3 vols.), a biography of Schiller: Life of Schiller, an Examination of His Works (London 1825), and a selection of translations from Goethe, Fouqué, Tieck, Musäus, Jean Paul, Hoffmann, et al. et al. with critical and biographical introductions under the title German Romance (Edinb. 1827, 4 vols.) as well as a large number of smaller essays, e.g. on Werner, Novalis, Goethe's correspondence with Schiller, Heine, the Nibelungenlied, etc., which are later united with others in the collection of his essays (5 vols.). "
I only can say WOW. I am speechless. Have to dive d e e p into his works . . .
Can we get "Quashee" back in to the public lexicon again? Along with Mr. Carlyle's wonderful description.
I would pay good money to see Kay Burley read that out on Sky News,
This has been a great etymology lesson!
Damn I had no idea how many of these terms and phrases came from Carlyle.
Foundations of Carlylisms when?
Do an image search for Quashee. You will not be disappointed. Perhaps a little confused though.
Carlyle is wrong as often as he is right. But when he's right, he is prophetic.
is that a direct Moldbug quote?
@@Confucius_76 What is a Moldbug?
@@benjamintreitz1647 a blogger from 2007 whose theories are being proven true every day :)
@@benjamintreitz1647how is it even possible that one could be commenting on academic agents channel and not know who moldbug is?
no replay available!? how do you make AA laugh? make plans. whelp off to bed - set the alarm. I haven't got up before 8am in nearly 20 years. This better be good.
Sargon's 'English Liberalism' is pretty cringe when you know what Carlyle thought of the liberals of his day
“Dilettante” is pronounced as if Italian.
16:00 I can hear Dee snickering now
Morrison pilled Normies
Did 'Burning Old Hebrew' clothes mean throwing off the Christian faith?
To some extent. Carlyle recognised that there were parts of Christianity which could not be taken seriously by a scientific person. But he wanted to preserve the moral core of religion, and was worried that without the 'old clothes' religion might fall apart altogether. He was conflicted. He talks about this problem more in 'Jesuitism' in the Latter-Day Pamphlets.
nah he's talking of the jewishism British protestants absorbed when they separated from the Church, stuff such as puritans giving each other hebrew names and so on. An inevitability of separating themselves from their medieval history.
Dealing in old clothes was once the stereotypical profession of the Hebrew gentlemen who had not money to lend.
Pueseyisms - Isn't that Women's Hour??
Carlyle, The Father of Mumbo-Jumbo
Thanks
*Quagmire.
oh yes
The "prophet" who didn't know he was torturing his own wife to death.
8:30 :)
Hmmm interesting
"...and he fills his sausages with horse meat". I see no problem with it.
better with horsemeat than with horseshit, tbh
Sounds he set up and completely destroyed many a straw man in his day.
Grumpy Old Gittism - the Philosophy of Carlyle .
Orwell , quite rightly , hated everything he stood for!
Orwell was a Marxist poc
Burning in Hell right now
Frank Zappa would have gotten along.
And Carlin.
