The decline of civilization

Yeni Birlik, 31 January 2025

This was also the case throughout history, everyone defines love differently. Today, Badiou, Alain de Botton, Žižek for example, they say different things. In fact, Žižek said many things that contradicted each other. In the past, he used to say love was evil. Then he said eros is a catastrophe. Then he said that the love you dedicate yourself to a woman is the highest form of freedom. This third one is something we need to focus on... Where there is no love, the sky is dark, there is no freedom, and therefore no civilization. The uncivilized things that Herodotus described about the women in the Mylitta temple in Babylon or the general situation of Lydian women emerge. These are also emerging today.

For centuries, families in a large geography were righteous. A hundred years ago, the European family was righteous, the Russian family, the American family was righteous... The New England colonies, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, which were designed and established as "Christian plantations", have undergone a great transformation, Hollywood productions, even in the last twenty years, have undergone a great transformation. Today, the past is rapidly disappearing. Do you know? I don't understand why there are TV dating programs. In my opinion, most daytime TV programs should have been removed long before 2025. These programs are not only killing love, they are killing our entire civilization.

The value and respect given to women is at the foundation of civilization. Trenčín Castle in Slovakia is known for the water well that a Turk named Ömer dug in three years as payment for saving his captive lover named Fatima. This is actually the most important trace of the Turks in Central Europe.

Žižek and Badiou meet at a similar point regarding love. Both draw attention to the "fall in love", that is, the act of falling in love. They say that when people meet and meet on a social media application by matching various pieces of information, it is not about love. Badiou says that there is no love in this case because there is no adventure and no risk taken. He talks about the lack of courage and creativity in these conditions. Žižek says you fell on a banana peel and a girl helped you at that moment, love loves such coincidences. The deficiency here, in the application, in the marriage agency, is actually a deficiency in respect rather than the risk and banana peel they mention... Because women are beings that should not be commodified...
