  • Roman Catholicism was the state religion of the Roman empire (the America of its time), their own man-worshipping polytheistic creation (they’re Trinitarians, Jesus only worshiped the “Father”, not himself or the Spirit). All Christian denominations derive from it and have the same unstable foundations.

    Bear in mind I’m not disregarding the Law and the prophets (and Jesus is one of my phone’s wallpapers, lol), just the Western heretical creation that forgoes duty and righteousness for “belief in Jesus Christ, our Lord and saviour”, whatever the fuck that means. Jesus himself said that you have to work good deeds so you can please God, that you have to pursue perfection of character “just like the Father is perfect”, and that’ll he’ll reject many who claim to follow him (it ain’t enough to just say “Jesus, Jesus!”) so idk why Paulian creed so often supersedes it in Christian history but whatevs.



  • I meant it. And I’m sure you have valid reasons to support/like your own corrupt and bloodthirsty leaders and policies before these folks, lol. If being a “centrist” means you support the status quo of Western dominance, you’re just a shy “right winger”. Regardless of these somewhat nebulous labels, countless innocents have died and continue to die to feed the American empire and the Western war machine, you simply can’t be a good person and support the status quo.


  • I don’t really see the widespread racism you claim exists here, with Lemmy being one of the least racist Western online spaces I’ve ever been in…

    And idk what you mean by dead. Compared to what? I feel like I see the same usernames pop up often, because we have a community of regulars. I don’t think I need it to be more “active”, and it certainly beats the more bot-infested “larger” online communities.

    Also, if you really dislike the “leftist” population/takes on Lemmy, why don’t you just go back to Reddit? Like, in earnest, they have a lot of uhh “right wing” stances and all big subreddits support the American empire and silence anyone who disagrees. Just make a new account and resettle there, it’ll be more to your liking!







  • I mean, uhh, kinda? But sometimes people have important questions and aren’t just asserting things from ignorance and to stop them from participating would just keep them ignorant which isn’t very prosocial of us. If you want to participate and speak your mind and know almost nothing about the topic, I think the most honest and least annoying way to do so is to give everyone a disclaimer (“I’m very ignorant about this but I feel like…”).

    Idk about talking about the Oscars and being interested in movies as a medium. Talking about the Oscars critically would require more knowledge about movies in the sense of “Hollywood is, at least today, just another Western grift”, their reasons for keeping the Oscars relevant and money-laundering schemes, lol.





  • What’s MAFA? Biden was close to Israel, Obama had record drone kills, and ofc Bush has the blood of countless innocents on his hands. Get it together and grow up: America has been a global villain since WW2 (it was a regional one before), it goes beyond party lines, the empire will do what it wants and each both sides of the political spectrum just serve aesthetic and therapeutic purposes for the two American pluralities… but, ofc, democracy is just a pressure valve and narrative creation device, the American empire has been co-opted by the MIC for a long time and now by anational technological corporations, fund management firms and foreign interests, and whether war starts and continues or not has everything to do with their infighting (not ideological, but profit based) and nothing to do with the will of the American people (and a good chunk are bloodthirsty and militaristic enough they’re ready for war regardless).
