  • You think you can just go against decades of propaganda that built their worldview and to which they attach themselves like lifeboats in the raging sea so easily?

    The problem I see often is moral “flexibility”, and even on Lemmy I see an objectively morally wrong action being praised because it’s done by people “on our side”/“who are European as me” and those same users will condemn the same behaviour (usually not even as egregious too, lol) coming from “the other side”. Westerners are often too propagandized for us to have productive, informative discussions, and too weak and morally confused to admit they’re wrong/X action is simply not good regardless of who’s doing it.


  • The immaculate conception is one of the least interesting and relevant parts of what made Jesus “big J, the wandering prophet, the soul healer”. He embodied a revitalisation and vindication of monotheistic righteousness and the idea of objective moral truths. He was so wise he was compared to Solomon, and if you believe the stories that recount how he was challenging the status quo by treating women “normally”, not condemning folks when nobody is perfect (he was very much against all forms of empty virtue signalling), being a “servant leader”, and just waking the Jews of the time from their moral slumber, it’s easy to see why.

    Only those who worship Jesus (when he didn’t even like being called “good”!) instead of worshiping God and following Jesus would think the immaculate conception is that big of a deal. Whether he had 1, 2 or 20 parents, what he said and did stand by themselves and are as relevant today as they were yesterday.




  • Only propaganda kept the image of the US alive, and their sole position as THE military superpower meant everyone had to just take the long shaft of American intervention, either the easy way or the hard way, but it ain’t the early 00s anymore. Also, American culture has progressively lost its mask (and social media like TikTok just tore it off, basically), so the ugliness of imperialism and the disgusting selfishness mixed with post-relativist amorality just destroyed any “face” the US had. 🤷
