It seems like scholars use different names as a form of historicization. So Augustus didn’t fight a civil war with Mark Antony. It was Octavian who did so. Popes are almost always referred to by their former names when talking about their pre-pope days. I guess you could argue that papal names function more like a title than their actual names. So Robert Prevost didn’t stop becoming Robert Prevost while Pope Leo XIV is a papal name that’s not his real name.

It gets weirder for someone like Malcolm X. Technically, “Malcolm X” is the name the man adopted from the time he joined the Nation of Islam to when he left the Nation of Islam. So, “Malcolm X” the name points to a particular historical period within the man’s life just like “Malcolm Little” or “Detroit Red” were as well. The name the man himself actually wanted to be known as is El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz. That’s his real name. Most people call El-Shabazz “Malcolm X” and some people use “Malcolm X” alongside “Malcolm Little” and “Detroit Red” as a shorthand for “when El-Shabazz was a kid” or “when El-Shabazz was part of the Nation of Islam.” It’s mostly Black Muslims and Pan-Africanists who actually call El-Shabazz the name he wanted to be remembered as.

Names are just weird.

Those last 5 words will not save them.

A lot of times, the tut-tutting over adventurism comes off more as cowardice than any principled stance against adventurism as a strategy. There’s a very big difference between Stalin who robbed banks saying adventurism isn’t the way and a bunch of timid nerds in a book club saying adventurism isn’t the way.

Adventurist acts reflect well on the willingness and courage of the people performing them. Adventurists should be seen as brave but not particularly strategic or even smart individuals. But forced between brave and dim people vs smart cowards, the brave and dim people are vastly more useful. If nothing else, brave and dim people can be trained to become brave and smart people through study of theory, but how do you cultivate bravery among cowards?

I mostly donate to Palestinian gofundmes because I figured scammers would get more money by pretending to be an Israeli having a panic attack because they saw a Palestinian flag once on top of, you know, them trying to survive a genocide. I don’t think there’s any real way to distinguish between a sincere person and a scammer in an anonymous forum.

Sadly, the answer no one wants to hear is the war has to expand until it proves too costly for the US. Not necessarily WWIII, but Ansarallah/Iran has to start targeting oil refineries in the Arab comprador regimes. The Zionist entity is there to promote instability and sectarian divides within WANA and prevent the inevitable political unity of the peoples living there, but too much instability in such a vital geopolitical location is also a bad thing for empire.

As for the Zionist entity no longer existing, it is basically the 51st US state, so on some level, the Zionist entity can only cease to exist if the US is sufficiently weakened as a nation-state. This requires great powers, which right now would be Russia and China. As the US gets weaker, more states can also become key players in forcing the US’s hand in giving up the Zionist entity.

This better not be a thing where the art is aktually AI art.

@grok is this true?

When I lurked in Stormfront out of morbid curiosity way back in the day, 95% of the forum was Wehraboos vs Romaboos, people obsessing over nose sizes, and crying about Black people.

Apple is definitely NPR coded. I guess HP is just a non-Apple manufacturer although I think Dell is probably better as a generic non-Apple company.

I guess they used baseball because baseball is pretty popular in Japan while nobody outside the US gives a shit about CTEball and golf is more rich coded.

The middle class is the bourgeoisie who existed between the upper class of the aristocracy and the lower class of the peasantry. So when politicians say they have to “bring prosperity to the middle class,” it’s the bourgeoisie pissing in your face.

People shit on astrology, but at least you can see the zodiac signs at night. This is just pure ideology lmao

No worries. Everybody will just blame Onedrive and rightfully so.

Your average Twitter Deus vult tradcath will shit themselves to death when they learn about Pope Leo’s maternal ancestry:
https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/genealogists-trace-pope-leos-african-ancestry-to-new-orleans-and-haiti/3744882/

“I looked into some of the birth certificates, death certificates, census records,” Chicago-based genealogist Tony Burroughs said. “And sure enough, his ancestors were Black—listed as Black at some period.”

Burroughs, who has spent decades researching African American genealogies, said the findings are both fascinating and not uncommon. “I was able to go back to the 1850s, and they were listed as mulattos in 1850, 1860, 1870. Then when you get to 1880, they were listed as white. When you get to 1900, they were listed as Black, and then after that, they were listed as white,” he said.

“While the Pope’s mother was born in 1911 up in Chicago, her six older sisters and her parents were all very much from New Orleans,” Honora said. “Them and their ancestors were fairly consistently listed as colored or mulatto or Black in census documents and in vital records.”

The main reason I deconverted years ago was I could not accept the idea of eternal conscious torment in hell for all unbelievers.

Seeing how the Zionists strut around with impunity as they gleefully record themselves on social media committing warcrimes with a shit-eating grin makes me thinks, “you know, maybe Hell does need to exist.”

Hey, it worked for China.

No, the smart thing to do is to liquidate the existing clergy and replace them with communist clergy who incorporate communist ideology into religious dogma.

In retrospect, they should’ve just kept the religious status quo but made every single member of the clergy be a card-carrying member of the CPSU subject to internal party discipline while banning all other “independent” churches. Religious dogma should incorporate things like “Jesus said communism rules and capitalism drools” and “the bourgeoisie go straight to hell when they die because the bourgeoisie are not human.” Christians who don’t accept Jesus’s teaching that communism is based get excommunicated and send to hell where the rest of the bourgeoisie are burning as well.

Overall, China handled religion a lot better. There isn’t a hard push for state atheism (although I think the CPC is officially an atheist organization), but all religious groups have to swear loyalty to socialism with Chinese characteristics and submit themselves to the will of the socialist state. Those that don’t toe the socialist line like Falun Gong have the hammer dropped on them.

The way the CPC handled Tibetan Buddhism is an illustrative example. Instead of abolishing a particular branch of Buddhism that used the skins of serfs for their drums, the CPC incorporated Tibetan Buddhism within the state apparatus. Whenever some religious leader dies and a new “reincarnation” has to appear to take their place, by sheer coincidence, the “reincarnation” who eventually appears is someone who the CPC liked the most.

This is the way to go. People need to quit being Reddit atheists and think strategically about this.

I would like to know how these Reddit atheists are going to convince Jewish people to give up Judaism (and not have them replace Judaism with Zionism).

Are desiccated corpses like him even capable of generating cum?
