Sorry, prison abolition is bad because the next dem admin is going to jail everyone in DHS

Some very serious liberal thinkers are also fantasizing about what the democratic party will totally do (things it's not running on and which would require a purge of most of the national dems for them to even consider doing) harder than college stalinists thinking about revolution

tbh she's not that different from Dorothy Day except as a liberal instead of the least effective social democrat in history

Of the big catholic writers in the US, I'm pretty sure Bruening is the only one on either side of the spectrum who actually fully embraces papal infallibility which is no small part of the reason why it feels like her politics are those of a thoroughly broken mind from trying to square that circle.

fwiw sword duels have the advantage that it was generally common for them to be to the first blood - I'd keep pistol dueling away from the table unless it wasn't a pain to replace characters

S.A. Pinker the man who's been associated with the Human Biodiversity Institute for a generation

Considering this is S.A. Pinker we're talking about another luxury belief of the left: "SA Pinker is not innately better at math than a woman with a literal math PhD"

No, people like you use them interchangeably.

I'm pretty sure Fifth Monarchists started in the UK long before most of the 13 colonies were even founded

Also "disorder of sex development" is a eugenicist euphemism. The term is intersex. Fuck off and may random animals annoy you all day.

Whoever taught you how to read failed you.

Noting here that what the catholic church counted as *good works* in 1517 included Spain's Jewish expulsions, the Crusades and eventually the St Barthelemy massacres.

It is very in line with most of institutional christianity's history

My favorite weird bit of interpretatio is Oghma getting associated with Heracles. Compared to that all the gods who got roped into Hermes actually make a modicum of sense.

The last time I saw a US dollar coin was from a Boston metro ticket machine and most places where I tried to use them thought I was trying to pay with loonies.

And of those numbers of descendants a lot are inbred french, italian and german aristocracy who actually count as multiple of his descendants

I have no idea who popularised the meme that half of Western Europe is descended from Charlemagne but I wish I did so I could eventually spit on their grave for propagating that stupid thing (afaik there aren't actually even enough of his descendants to populate all of Austria)

Well for one even if you dislike AI the fact that so many commenters seem to mostly be eager to create slurs is not particularly encouraging.

tbh the claim that he has "nordic tats" is something I've only seen since yesterday and afaik is unfounded nonsense. It's almost entirely the symbology of christian fanatics with the real exceptions being US nationalist stuff.

The templar knights were literally a christian crusading order.

So a single shot gun that 's probably too inaccurate to land a point blank shot and runs the risk of also breaking the actually essential survival knife in a survival toolkit - this feels like a fighter jock status symbol or some gearhead wet dream and little else.

For all the whining from certain circles that it's this huge, dominant cultural cliche I actually struggle to think of more than maybe 3 horror movies that go for "actually powerful institutions are the real monster" - folk horror needs more Witchfinder Generals and fewer high quality Chick tracts.

Not unlike White Wolf lmao.

Also idk if it's out yet but my rough understanding of the vverevvolf is it's also going to be largely based on a rl witch trial (with fantasy elements) which means it will probably irritate me to no end even if it's enjoyable as a movie

Most of Eggers' stuff also comes off as vaguely reactionary (but with good cinematography) to me but yeah especially in the case of the Vvitch

"Climate change worship" feels like the US gov is going full steam ahead in making climate change out to be some sort of neopagan dogma, which the federalist society has been claiming for a few years now.

Basically the would-be christian crusaders are convinced that environmentalism as a whole is a neopagan ploy (there's a few thinkpieces from a few years ago accusing Thunberg of such)

Statistically the poverty draft only represents a relatively small minority of the army and USMC.

Liberal christians try not to deflect christian fanatics doing historically christian things on other religions challenge: impossible

I'm surprised they didn't get sued by Siembieda, who is apparently even more litigious than old school TSR was.

No one is impressed by the "real christianity has never been tried" contortions some of you do to feel better about yourselves
