Aka Chesterton's Fence.
> There exists in such a case a certain institution or law; let us say, for the sake of simplicity, a fence or gate erected across a road. The more modern type of reformer goes gaily up to it and says, “I don’t see the use of this; let us clear it away.” To which the more intelligent type of reformer will do well to answer: “If you don’t see the use of it, I certainly won’t let you clear it away. Go away and think. Then, when you can come back and tell me that you do see the use of it, I may allow you to destroy it.”

It's the (((liberal nature))) to look at tradition skeptically, which really means "with the intention of dismantling." It's a concerted effort to teach people to distrust their elders and their ancestors, because of course the modern enlightenment thinker knows much better

"Rationalism", "liberty", "progress", "tolerance", "democratic government", "separation of church and state." All tenets of the enlightenment, all very in-line with today's thinkers.

Luciferian rationalism is rationalism for rationalism's sake. "Tell me a RATIONAL reason why you should exist." You see this with so-called antinatalists. "Give me a RATIONAL reason why you should have babies." It's really just anti-human Satanism.
These weren't stolen ideas, but subverted ones. Rationalism subverts empiricism. Liberty subverts hierarchy. Progress subverts tradition. Tolerance subverts discrimination. Democratic republics subvert absolute monarchy.
All of the radical enlightenment thinkers were jew-loving bible bashers. And that's to say nothing of the true enlightenment jews: Zalkind Hourwitz, Abrham Furtado, Jacob Pereyre, Junius Frey, Jan de Hartog, and then their ideological offspring like Moses Hess, Heinrich Heine, and Karl Marx
They're also the "I Fucking Love Science!" crowd, but they've corrupted science both by making niggers and pajeets into "scientists", and by applying postmodernist ideas like "there is no such thing as truth" and "math is racist."
Ironically, "teenage angst" and "counterculture", in the current era, could lead to consoom product. Consider, all of mainstream tells you: "don't say nigger", and "take a knee for the rainbow flag", among other retardation, so to rebel from that would be to vector towards conservatism. If you continue your rightward trajectory after reaching conservatism, what do you see, but our ideologies?
It depends what type of novelty. I'm sure much lateral division of quantum strings could be made over that topic. The novelty of discovering new land? Very good. Random slapping of whatever the current thing is on something that was fine without the current thing? Horrible.
