Brazilians are blaming the decline of their national team on the rise of Evangelical Christianity

[Octavian 🇪🇺 @posta_octavian]

Edward Said (a Christian) for most of his life attempted to fight romantic depictions of the orient because he believed it reified a difference that didn't actually exist. This was enthusiastically adopted by Western academia to the point the west basically stopped depicting the Orient at all. Soon after our view of the orient was dominated by the news only, so bombs and war.

Today, Muslims are desperate for any kind of positive depiction of their civilisation in media, even if it's romanticising, in fact a little bit of romanticising is appreciated!

It's another example of the leftwing drive towards egalitarianism doing more harm than good, EVEN to the ones it supposedly wants to save.

The image of the Muslim man went from an imperial Ottoman officer to a wealthy Gulf Sheikh to a fanatical militia member to an immigrant welfare leech and leftist adjacent brownie

Unless the Turks invade Athens or the Arabs level Tel Aviv, I don't know what will save the image

[Ryan Hiepler @ryjlocal]

Good example of strategy in life. 90% positioning, 10% explosive execution when the timing is right. Activity without achievement is a false god of the modern world.

@kiaran_ritchie Correct my friend. The times moved along without us. We are the people who grew up with rock n roll complaining about rap music.

I've grown exhausted by "Islamic" discourse, "religious" Muslims, and the broader Muslim environment from all aspects, and I'm rapidly losing all interest left in what I was initially drawn to.

The medieval person could not see Consecrated Space, as they were an organic part of it. Through frontier technology, Consecrated Space has become a "thing" in our environment; relation to it becomes a question of agency, or in other words, it becomes part of civilizational means

[seele ² @Videogarment]

This is why I believe that you cannot have a genuine symbolic revival or any kind of reenchantment without the proliferation of cybernetic networks.

[seele ² @Videogarment]

This relates to reenchantment: getting enchanted means "jumping to the end". One sees synchronicity and, in earlier times, at most, it remained a soft mystery.

Now, however, the event cannot escape the superhighway; it immediately arrives somewhere. Enters the vertigo.

[seele ² @Videogarment]

Strangely, waiting/being patient for God has the phenomenology of high speed, while trying to get to the place on one's own feels like getting more and more bogged down.

Women are "plots" on whom seed is sown. Adam's side in this case is also such seed.

[seele ² @Videogarment]

Had a strong burst of inspiration yesterday and wrote a fairy tale. I made very minor edits to keep it as "pure" as possible and not contaminate it with any purpose. I like these because they provide a vast surface for interpretation. Link in bio.

Man dodges arrows in shootout between tribes, Papua New Guinea 2025

[Analytica Camillus @AnalyticaCamil1]

Papua New Guinea’s citizens have guns by the way — they mostly just use them against Indonesian and Australian soldiers.

They’re using bows for the same reason that they’ve pretty much always used bows during tribal warfare: killing other people is a tertiary concern (and it’s usually quite counterproductive in any case), they want to compel their opposing tribe(s) to accede to their demands.

[Diddystein @DiddyPill]

@rk74ud I can see this happening in Muslim countries

On r/ arabs, there was a thread asking if youth are becoming more religious or not. Consensus was that they are not "religious" as in the traditional sense, but are a lot "religious" in wanting patriarchy, policing women, etc
