"Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And when you look long into the abyss, the abyss also looks into you."

@PattMattrick@SwannHnesce@redeemed_zoomer My parish is full of normal people. Some are conservative, some are liberal. What unites us is the love of Christ for God and for each other, our reverence of the Eucharist, and the Nicene Creed which we recite every morning. We celebrate and worship God, not ideology.
@Lauren_Southern Yeah. In another life, had I made different choices, I would have been a black-pilled radicalized far-right weirdo. Eventually I decided to fully commit to living in reality. It’s not easy, but I don’t regret it for a moment.
@Lauren_Southern What do you think are the primary motivators for this? Is it money? Fame? Political leverage? All the cocaine?
What is so desirable that it incentivizes willful insanity?
@Tomv55308850@Lauren_Southern Again, it's not clear at all that Josie is prioritizing aesthetics over substance. She seems to have substantive reasons for wanting the 19th repealed. Maybe those reasons are inadequate.
@Toxoplamosis@Lauren_Southern I think it only becomes a LARP if it becomes performative. Someone can be a true believer and also be performative, sure, but it's not clear (to me at least) that Josie is LARPing.
@TRHLofficial@Lauren_Southern Oh wow. I did not know about the Rockefeller influence. I will have to read more about that, because that sounds very interesting. Thank you!
@Lauren_Southern@TRHLofficial I think whether or not the 19th Amendment is ever going away is irrelevant to whether Josie is LARPing about wanting it gone. If she genuinely believes it's bad and has reasons for believing so, it's not a LARP. Doesn't a LARP need to be performative?
@TRHLofficial@Lauren_Southern Josie, honest question: what do you think of the argument that because women can be taxed, they must have political representation in government?
@Lauren_Southern@TRHLofficial Example: I'm an anti-federalist. For all practical purposes, abolishing the federal government is impossible. That doesn't mean I'm LARPing as an anti-federalist. I AM an anti-federalist. I truly believe we shouldn't have a federal government. It's simply very unlikely to happen.
@Lauren_Southern@TRHLofficial I don't think she's LARPing if she genuinely believes it. It doesn't matter how likely or unlikely it is. If Josie is sincere, it can't be LARP.
@StephensSu13596@ItsRobbAllen No they didn't, the traditionalist who left to form the GMC were cowards. They abandoned the sheep to the wolves. They should have kept fighting until they were literally excommunicated
