My grandfather fought and bled to end this atrocity before. It only took 70 years to see universities and students cheering for it again.
I remember what my grandpa told me he saw. I won't be a part of doing it again.
I am an atheist. I have no particular love of religion.
That said - I was considering returning to university for a second degree. But no longer.
I cannot be a part of an organization that loves modern Einsatzgruppen and marches to cheers of Judenfrei.
exterminated.
The other side believes the "colony" was given to them by a deity. Both sides are fueled by its respective gods.
Therefore it is little wonder that the language used is very much like how humans think of Xenos and how the Xenos think of humans.
Much like the Imperium's attitude toward the Xenos - we at least know one thing about the current conflict on Old Earth -
There can be no two state solution. One side, backed up by academics in the West, believe that everywhere is a "colony" and that colonies must be
Works. How the believers think. I grew up in one, so I see very disturbing trends among all sides of the current conflict AND the supporters blithely saying slogans they don't understand. But this story shows a bit of what true belief is like and what a true believer can do.
The Emperor's empty armor and a very relevant story that any 40k player or fan should read or listen to right now.
The Last Church would be very insightful to the current Global Conflict. Very much so. So many in the West have no concept of how a dogmatic religion
There are whole chunks of the population, perhaps a majority, who are completely unable to think from first principles.
They will happily defend the very things they condemned hours earlier as long as it's their side doing them. Amazing to watch.
It is a time of war on old Terra, back when it was called Earth.
It is to be expected that many are feeding #Khorne .
The horro tho is just how many watch that war and wrap themselves in virtue... while worshipping #Slaanesh, taking pleasure and exhilaration in death.
Ideological enemies.
This video shows the futility and danger of a war of ideologues. And it shows the correct path. Too bad no one will listen - not even through author of the episode from which this us taken... 3/ end

And we need only look to a war zone, to the US Capitol, to the streets of New York, London, Berlin, Tunis, Amman, Tehran.
We need look no further than the university campus in the global west. We see blood lust everywhere. Justification for mass killing for your 2/
By any means necessary, you would be much more at home living the cheapness of human life in the Imperium than any appeals to morality or ethics. By any means necessary tells just how bereft of respect for human life you have become. Do better.
Today I post two well-known depictions of Inqusitor Kryptman with a message about current events. I will not get into the weeds of who is right or wrong, but just an observation of logic.
The supporters and advocates of one side oft use the phrase that its objectives 1/

I submit that if you support 3/
If nothing else the last few days have shown just how many in academia and those who posted black squares have more in common with the Drukhari than anything human. Can't say I'm shocked that most only have pseudo-morality.
An AI generated image of a Death Cult in the Imperium...
Question is, is this grimdark in the year 41000 or is this the death cult of 2023... seeing so many people celebrate death. On this platform and IRL, they do nothing but mindlessly worship Khorne.
