I’m not sure what his standards for religious coherence are, but never built a city or developed a civilization? Has he any knowledge of the Songhai empire, or its earlier iterations of Ghana and Mali? The University of Sankore? And then there’s Ethiopia, a long-time bastion for Judaism and Christianity alike. (And, unfortunately, slavery; Menelik II and Haile Selassie didn’t get it dispelled that quickly.)

I suspect his grievance is that even in places that know civilization, it’s often right next-door to peoples who still practice their primordial nomadic hunting-gathering. Probably a sign to him that nothing’s really taken hold, the nomads’ own ideals be condemned.

If we’re lucky, this is merely what TVTropes calls “Glad-to-be-Alive Sex”. Not lucky, then the cops in question are afflicted with needing to harm someone to rouse themselves. Which merits removal from job and time with a psychologist and a neurologist. Multiples of both as necessary.

Come to think of it, how big is this federation supposed to be? I could believe even three arms of the galaxy. But the whole thing? Even a confederal alliance will be a nightmare for logistics and communication, considering how wide the galaxy actually is.

(And that’s before treating Draco and Orion as distinct entities, rather than examples of human pareidolia. In fact, it’s always Greek constellations. No Chinese or Mayan ones.)

And even better, I don’t think it’s coincidence that the one Pizzagater who actually attempted a rescue willingly turned himself in when he realized there was no child prison beneath the pizzeria to begin with. (And was already making sure not to kill anyone if he didn’t absolutely have to.) The others were concerned about orthodoxy (right belief...well, right to them), he with orthopraxis (right action).

The capitol raiders are definitely more about orthodoxy than orthopraxis.

Well, suicide is a sin to them, as that’s usurping authority over life and death from God (and sin in general is anything besides God having agency). They may not be of this world, but that doesn’t mean God doesn’t want them to do specific things for/to this world.

I think Russia is bothered less with fantasy/reality conflation, and more with instilling the youth with rebellion-compatible ideals. Your pick of rebellion against family, rebellion against church, and/or rebellion against state.

I feel like Russia is trying to imply that absolute parental authoritarianism is an unquestionable virtue. (And you thought the authoritarianism would go away after the USSR’s collapse? Nope, still there, possibly never to fully dissipate unless and until Russia fragments into five or six further pieces. And I’m not sure even then.)

I think he’s referring to the James Cameron film.

That said, Shakespeare wasn’t expressly trying to create Great Works (and didn’t always succeed at that in the first place, as Titus Andronicus and Timon of Athens evince). He took playwrighting and entertainment equally seriously—he saw no reason why entertainment couldn’t work with weighty ideas while still being engrossing and enjoyable for all. Then there’s Charles Dickens, whom I suppose could be deemed a proto-pulp author.

They probably see “mongrelization” as introducing corrosive agents into the “pure” metal of God-white humanity, so that the metal gets more and more brittle. It’s an odd sort of conceit, that purity involves great strength and resilience in some areas (like morality, if you don’t mind treating Moral Myopia as redundant, that is), and great weakness in others (like keeping contaminants out if they get close enough). It’s rather like Juche, actually. Koreans are the “cleanest” race, but that exact cleanness which alone makes things worthy of existence also means that they can’t fend off the vileness of the rest of Reality, not without the aid of the uniquely blessed Kim Dynasty, who (allegedly) exist precisely that Koreans can stay in the childlike/childish bliss of their purity. (That last phrase is a bit of guesswork on my part on how Juche sees the Kim/everyone else in Korea divide, so corrections are welcome.)

I’m actually worried his response will be that only a near-insensate gamma who can’t discern his “obvious” super-intelligence on first reading/hearing wouldn’t acknowledge his words as consonant with the knowledge of The Truth we’re all supposed to have in full as Creations of God, but often choose to ignore in favor of the “feeble” rush from playing at being in charge of our own futures.

@Malingspann #85578

As much as you might like to think otherwise, that’s not hyperbole. The priest referenced was a prominent Integrist. Integrism was an ultraconservative Catholic movement in Spain around the 1900s which condemned “liberalism” as a mortal sin (basically, anything Pius IX had proscribed in the Syllabus of Errors), and all but demanded—and maybe even that—Catholic theocracy (+monarchy, if it being adsorbed into Carlism is anything to go by). Sardà y Salvany was highly anti-Semitic and anti-Masonic, as well.

Never fails, does it? The more strength/power gets exalted as an end rather than a means (and I’m still leery of it even then), the greater the scorn for disagreement, doubt, or even uncertainty. And I’m not sure this is strictly ur-fascist.

The idea is to utterly efface authoritarianism, yes? Anarchism just means “no archons”, not “no laws”, anyway. (Source: the Indigenous Anarcho-Syndicalist and the Anarcho-Communist on my progressive Discord.) Legislature would be less your typical managerial company, more like an employee-owned company, if I understand the point.

The important point, I think, is that we need a way to make Evil impossible, without effacing free will (mind control being evil to start with). The idea of early medieval Europe being benighted and nightmarish (knightly abuses aside) was more Renaissance propaganda aimed at making Hellas and Rome look utterly glorious (and I suspect making Europe more Hellenic/Roman, period), in any case.

What metrics are you using for discerning sub- and supra-, exactly?!

And killing autistics (like me) on principle? Really, now. It may take me a while to fish it back out (if at all), but there’s evidence to believe that in our hunter-gatherer era, having bandmates with varied points on the autistic-allistic spectrum helped with survival a great deal. (For the curious, “allistic” is basically “neurotypical”, but not with the risk of precluding anomalies besides autism.)

Please don’t confuse Vengeance and Justice. Especially when (a) the prophecy of Ezekiel did away with the Sins of the Fathers policy, and (b) the way capitalism works means fully ethical consumption, maybe even existence is not in the offering.

And (c) that the number of Third World denizens who do want absolute blood judgement is, to put it mildly, vanishingly small. (Exhibit A: Lotsa luck finding North American Indigenous who entertain the idea of sending everyone else to their lineage source continents. Not merely because Europe certainly won’t have room.)

Capability doesn’t mean inevitability. Remember that.

@TheKingOfRhye #85249

The problem is that there really are people who think that Liberty and Democracy are immiscible, in that Democracy ineluctably shows its true colors as Ochlocracy. It probably isn’t much of a surprise that they’re not very fond of social contracts in general, deeming them tacit coercion of the Best by the Mediocre. I don’t know how anarcho- LH is, whether -libertarianism or -capitalism, but I have a hunch they deeply ascribe to avoiding everything non-voluntary being the most sacred thing. And if the weak wither away, then it’s an acceptable price for the Most Worthy being able to do whatever they like, whenever they like, however they like. (See also: Ayn Rand, Murray Rothbard, L. Neal Smith)

David J. Stewart #fundie #sexist

@Bastethotep #85238

I may have been thinking of a different rendition of the Last Judgement, actually, as Jesus didn’t have the pose I was thinking of. (And I could have sworn Jesus’s mantle was draped such that no part of the left flank, waist, hip edge, or outer leg was covered by cloth.) But some mantling was in the pre-Daniele original: https://www.artstor.org/2013/11/13/michelangelos-last-judgment-uncensored/

Meanwhile, has Stewart thought about how, if Adam and Eve started naked, that means that by his lights, God created them in a state of sin at the onset? Who’s responsible for that particular “sin” then?

@Bastethotep #85157

Even more to the point, there are forms of naturism that are explicitly Christian. One part a view that clothing obscures something God never wished to be obscured in the first place (and not because he’d be unable to satisfy a sexuality he doesn’t have to begin with), one part a view that seeing naked people as a matter of course effectively inures the viewers, meaning that they won’t regard nudity as intrinsically sexual. (I wonder if there’s an unwitting idea to coax them from typical sexuality to demisexuality?)

I wait to see what Stewart thinks of Michelangelo’s painting of the Last Judgement, where clothing is scarce to be seen on anyone, other than a few scarves. Jesus included.

EDIT: I misrecalled how much clothing is not there, but there’s still plenty of non-sexual nudity in the fresco. And while Jesus isn’t naked, the clothing he does wear is simple and sparse.

How about anthropophagous dead caused by gods? To expand on what I meant with my reference to Babylon, in the Epic of Gilgamesh, after being rebuffed by the title character, Ishtar demands that Anu send the Great Bull of Heaven after him. Anu’s pretty reticent at first, as the Bull is disaster incarnate—just being on the land will result in seven years of famine, with more problems to come. Ishtar shrugs it off on account of all of Uruk’s reserved grain, and besides, if the Bull isn’t an option, she’s already got a Plan B: smash the gates of Ersetu (i.e. the realm of the dead, like the Hellenic Hades) so an army of shades can get out. Hungry-for-human-flesh shades.

Anu doesn’t take long to agree with Plan A after that.

It’s true we’re talking shades, not actual corpses, but the conceit seems the same to me.

Does she mean Zadkiel? Considering she’s supposed to be the angel who stopped the sacrifice of Abraham’s son (Jews and Muslims differ on who the son was, which tells me it may be from a pre-henotheism-of-El/Allah story), and is generally the angel of benevolence and free will...Well, I don’t see her as that concerned with glory.

“...I think simply pure one night stands between strangers would fare much less well on this chart than sex between loving partners.”

First you’ll need to convince those who don’t agree with that view that foreplay and afterplay are worthy things in their own right, indeed fairly frequently more enjoyable than the physical intercourse itself—and that’s without damning the intercourse with faint praise. (Maybe because they’re easier to prolong than sex?)

Or you could renounce your all-or-nothing thinking. Just because lovemaking is at the top of the list doesn’t mean it’s the only thing worthy of consideration.

Never mind that from what we’ve seen, you’d only accomplish sex, not lovemaking. Not when you’re so completely unwilling to either reciprocate with women, nor be vulnerable/honest with pretty much anyone (I do wonder what they speak to each other that it isn’t bemoaning not getting their allegedly entitled Helenes at the moment of puberty.).

If the Trojan War Homer spoke of happened, then it was probably Agamemnon using Odysseus’s keep-Helene-with-Menelaos-at-all-costs oath as a cover to take control of Troy’s tin routes for himself.

Just don’t ask me how he planned to do that after returning to Mykenae (not that I’m sure of the distance). Maybe his original plan was to use someone like Deiphobos as a puppet?
