As someone who has studied history his whole life seeing the massive propaganda push by the machine against the past as some horrible place where to quote Hobbes' “life was brutish, nasty and short” only for technology to save us from such as miserable condition and bring us into a brighter future, has frustrated me to no end. By imposing social norms and views, the produce of a very specific set of modern material conditions, onto the past a fictitious narrative of oppression can be developed whereby people who are quote “liberated” know were unable be so in the fast. The absurdity of it all is that the material conditions did not permit such behavior and such behavior has both short and long term externalities that are imposed on society. Technology can paper over the short term costs, but not the long term. The past was not paradise, but it was not this house of horrors that modern techno-apologists describe either. We have traded real meaningful relationships with other people for the empty lonely lives we live today. For those who have the strength to grasp it, the past or rather a retvrn to the past is our best way for combating the meaninglessness of modernity.

I hear a lot about friend-enemy distinction and how it ought to be used as test politically. The issue is I never get a straight answer as to what it means to be a friend. Many on the DR argue metaphysics is meaningless and to just act! So we are to use a test in which the terms are not defined? It self a metaphysical act? That won't do. Some who are more traditional or Christian will offer their takes. The problem is they are often intra-subjective and not easily universalizable. I will not come up with a new definition for friend, but use an old one, I will appeal to Aristotle and his definition of friendship. Having defining what a friend is, I will then explore how using Aristotle's definition of friend as a rubric would work.
