@RobertHarrisonv@yoshispeninsula@nominalthoughts The tweet is in response to a discussion of “real Christians” but there was a time when the church sanctioned Death Penalty and they were still “real Christians”. Its not just “Aesthetically Christian” to condone Death Penalty.
It’s a debatable subject and not at all settled
I love the people saying JUST RIP IT OFF BRO LIKE I DO, thus canceling the intended purpose and just adding a mild annoyance to your life for absolutely no reason
@burner1693878@DirtbagRN@avrilbradley23 Well I thought the topic was wars in *Europe*, which is why the Am Civil War and colonial wars of the 19th C aren’t being discussed.
And I agree w you, those 10 years were insanely shocking. But Napoleon, nationalism, et al was the blueprint, a direct French Rev product.
@avrilbradley23 You dont think Bonapartism, secularism, and nation states had anything to do with Napoleon and the reaction to the French Rev? Not sure I agree
@burner1693878@DirtbagRN@avrilbradley23 I’d agree but there were only 2 “general” 20th C conflicts in Europe, the World Wars, which all together lasted 10 years. Which is my point, if you include Napoleonic Wars + Crimean+ the rest of the civil wars, the century after the French Rev was deadly
@BiruniKhorasan If your hangup is that Greece itself isnt THE factor, sure. But it is definitely a clear line from Greek->Rome->Franks and “The West”->Colonized America-> US.
Its why Islamic countries CAN claim Rome as a forefather
@BiruniKhorasan Yea but you’re being extra cute by ignoring the timeline. The Roman Empire drew a lot of inspiration from Greek culture. When Rome fell, Franks, Byzantines and Arabs picked up the pieces. Franks carried Christendom and we got “The West”. “The West” then colonized America
@skenzyme@spqr_sulla He is wrong because the entire premise is based on a hypothetical scenario that doesn’t exist. Until AI can cook our food, serve us and selfdrive the produce trucks, no, it can’t be cheaper
The crazy thing is, I could text "free dick" to any 57 women in my life and they would not text me back "shop's still open?" I would get "eww" and "dick is always free."
But sure, rape isn't a gendered crime and we don't live in a patriarchal society.
@scasfar@Omicron_ENG@Catholicizm1 And the under 35 would be left with no raise and none of the money they paid for into SS since they were 18. Sounds like a fair compromise
@Catholicizm1 What do we do with the young people that are not planning well now, in 40 years, when what they get in SS is a fraction of a fraction of what the boomers who poorly planned get now?
