@revenant_MMXX There’s a lot that’s reasonable to dislike about this remake but most of your list is pedantic whining. Do you touch yourself to the thought of being unhappy
Your heart is not a state secret. You are meant to declare allegiances. You are meant to have favourites. Write the letter. Miss the train. Stay up until dawn talking. You should be caught red-handed loving something, someone.
I am entirely uninterested in making exemptions for un-British religious practices.
What would Restore Britain do?
Halal slaughter, banned. The kirpan, banned, Kosher slaughter, banned. The burqa, banned. All of it, banned.
This is Britain - we do things our way.
Humanity, created by God in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice: either to construct a new Tower of Babel or to build the city in which God and humanity dwell together. In Jesus Christ, this humanity in its grandeur becomes the Way, the Truth and the Life, opening the path for each of us to grow toward fullness. #MagnificaHumanitas

A cutting reflection from Cardinal Ratzinger, Good Friday 2005:
"Pilate is not utterly evil. He knows that the condemned man is innocent, and he looks for a way to free him. But his heart is divided. And in the end he lets his own position, his own self-interest, prevail over what is right.
Nor are the men who are shouting and demanding the death of Jesus utterly evil. Many of them, on the day of Pentecost, will feel "cut to the heart," when Peter will say to them: "Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God... you crucified and killed by the hands of those outside the law."
But at that moment they are caught up in the crowd. They are shouting because everyone else is shouting, and they are shouting the same thing that everyone else is shouting. And in this way, justice is trampled underfoot by weakness, cowardice and fear of the diktat of the ruling mindset. The quiet voice of conscience is drowned out by the cries of the crowd.
Evil draws its power from indecision and concern for what other people think."
@DVanLangenhove In 1914, the small, under equipped, and poorly trained Belgian army halted the advancing German armies - probably 6x their size and more advanced - from entering Paris. Never forget the civilization which was robbed from you.
I will mock vegans and vegetarians relentlessly for believing “plant-based diets” are healthier for humans, but I will never mock them for insisting factory farming is an abomination that cries out to the heavens for redress.
@itiswartime @stepfanie Persia is a Greek adaptation of a proto-Persian word, Parsa. The word name “Iran” is linked more closely to the early Aryan inhabitants of the northern region, while Parsa is in reference broadly to the southern region.
More or less arbitrary, etymology-wise.
@lporiginalg Ok to be fair Linus is just a tech nerd who latched on to the first woman to give him serious attention. There is no grand scheming or malice involved. He’s politically a Canadian normie, so comments like these are basically just par for the course.
