@soidntgetfind@NeroNietzsche@rebirthcanal Protestantism is a branch of Christianity that includes evangelicalism. You can say “Reformed” or “Lutheran” or “Anglican” to talk about what you mean, but radical Anabaptists were around at the same time and had even more radical anti-authority beliefs so 🤷♀️
@soidntgetfind@NeroNietzsche@rebirthcanal No, because this is Protestantism and is also directly attributable to Protestant invisible church and sola scriptura doctrine
@Luk4Den@john_st_helen Idk about closest to white people in general but closest to Americans yeah definitely. Maybe some South Americans or islanders are closer to Europeans but they’re not like Americans at all
@philliplede Yes. This is why I’ll never give up on Christianity. The story it tells of the world is too perfect not to be true. There could never be a more beautiful theory of everything. And I think you’ll find ancient and modern pagans are more alike than not.
@AlxanderNelson@ScottMGreer And of course the Cajuns in Louisiana are here too and definitely not Anglo, but we’re genetically very similar to them too
@AlxanderNelson@ScottMGreer With the caveat that a lot of Anglo-Americans do have Dutch/French Huguenot/Welsh and even German ancestry from populations that were assimilated in the colonial era/early republic. And a lot of people who belong to German and Irish subcultures are actually genetically the same.
@GreeneMan6 The problem is the inability to distinguish between normiecons and other more fringe right wingers. Normie libs are more creative and intelligent than normie conservatives. Other right wingers are generally more creative and intelligent than normie libs.
@Amranu@contradecline@bumbadum14 You said being a leftist means x I’m proving you wrong bc the foundational leftist figures disagree. You obviously don’t have to agree with them but defining leftism as something Marx would disagree with is obviously wrong.
@lilzaiyasharahl@LornaBlane@punishablepress No, it comes from bluegrass with some inspiration from the blues. Bluegrass comes from North English, Lowland Scottish, and Northern Irish folk.
@lilzaiyasharahl@LornaBlane@punishablepress Yeah the banjo is from Africa. The fiddle and the entire genre of bluegrass and Appalachian folk is British Isles folk music adapted to the American backcountry, then became country and subsumed some black influence. Not even responding to the other claim it’s too retarded
