I Hate Western Philosophy (lemmygrad.ml)

I am learning the business side of western philosophy for a college class and I can already tell I hate Immanuel Kant, John Stuart Mill, and basically every Greek philosopher.

Edit: To clarify things, I do not hate all of Western philosophy like Karl Marx just the more mainstream parts which are being taught in American academia.

This is a vent post and I was using hyperbole and being dramatic. I am sorry for the confusion.

"What if nothing is real and everyone who tries to search for answers is dumb" <- Western philosophy since the 70s.

Western philosophy is stuck repeating the idealism of the 18th to 19th century to avoid ever engaging with diamat.

Too bad Lenin died in 1924 because I would love to see his critiques of Postmodernism.

He criticized positivism which is the cultural hegemon of western science, which goes hand in hand with post-modernism the hegemon of culture.
