Blue Red test only separates those who are willing to risk their lives in pursuit of universal recognition (blue) & human animals (red). Of course the human animal position is rationalized as “more rational, less risky” in some zero sum game theoretic calculus— & animals are always “rational”— what is “irrational” to the animal is the higher rationality of the Holy Spirit.

Many people, myself included, wanted to see Cardinal Sarah become the Pope.

But a large proportion of those who wanted Sarah to become Pope would very likely have been gravely disappointed by his papacy had he been chosen.

Read his words here; they hardly differ from Leo's on the subject of Islam. He is charitable and neighborly on the matter, and speaks in a manner that is geared toward fostering peace rather than stoking anger. He explicitly condemns cartoonish depictions of Muslims, and calls Christians to ask whether they themselves are matching serious practicioners of Islam in their faith, fasting, and prayer.

I could see "LifeSiteNews" running outraged headlines over this kind of teaching very quickly. Though for many traditionalists, a Sarah papacy was an earnest hope -- and he verily would've defended the Latin Mass -- he was not quite the "unwoke" pick among the Cardinals. In fact, there really wasn't a Cardinal who would've actually satisfied the "unwoke MAGA trads" in the United States.

It seems to me that in America, "conservatism" is thought by many to be synonymous with a loud, parochial, and brash type of populism -- one where we DESTROY the arguments of our opponents, and OWN the LIBS, etc.

This brand of so-called "conservatism" does not appear to exist in Rome at all, which makes great sense, as it would be an impediment to the basically cosmopolitan, global mission of "making disciples of all nations" and of promoting the peace of Christ on earth.

And so exponents of *certain types* of "tradcath-ism" will be perpetually aggrieved. Even if their preferred papal candidate had been chosen, they'd eventually have found a way to be outraged about him. Some of them (not all) have a habit of taking the "revenge of the punished losers" mentality of MAGA and shoehorning it into the Catholic faith, and the very predictable result is an endless torrent of permanent disgruntlement about basically everything.

It just makes sense that the Pastor of the entire world is not going to cater to a tiny minority of angry Americans, and that he is not going to go around "OWNING the Muslims" and so on. He wants them to convert, not get mad. He understands that mutual respect is the first step to conversion, and that making a big show of condescension and outrage is never profitable.

This post is, by the way, a defense of Pope Leo.

@TheLastNeocon @kayrosso1 i am in tune enough with college and hs policy to say that is certainly not the case, and that can be verified by checking any recent major tournament results. excessive condo is a much bigger problem for policy than specific k lit

[fladvor @fladvor1]

@TheLastNeocon @kayrosso1 People certainly read kritiks and indicts of afropessimist scholarship and win! obv there are plenty of people who criticise wilderson et al’s conception of history and identity etc. also not the “platonic ideal of a K” whatever that means
