@ZoomerHistorian The problem is that that approach takes into account the complex practicalities of the real world.
Whereas simplistic purists wont be happy with anything less than a gestapo dragging people from their homes.
Which will play so well on the nightly news…
@skibidiblazor@Tom_Rowsell The US needed a cult of personality to hold it together in the first decade and then had to be totally refounded again 70 years later after killing 8% of its young adult White male population.
The 14th Amendment now meant anyone coming off a boat was as American as Washington.
@BWLH_ Ethnicity is based on ancestry, so he is 50% Swedish.
It is not something you can choose or debate, it is a brute fact of the universe.
Values or feelings don’t have any role in determining your ethnic inheritance.
@GoodwinMJ@Con_Tomlinson Reform cant win by-elections.
Reform will not form a majority at the next GE.
Reform will at best go into coalition with the Tories (No matter what Kemi says now).
Reform will then be tainted by the association just like the Lib Dems were and collapse.
@redeemed_zoomer Mass immigration from Latin America can only be a good thing for the Catholic Church.
They are not going to grow and attain supremacy converting Protestant and Germanic heritage Americans.
And there is only one party desperate to import a new electorate.
@FevreMarshall@Teheimar@TrungTPhan@KashPrime And if a need arises in Europe, the same will happen there too.
AC is super cheap in South Korea as well, it is not some rare boon of Manifest Destiny.
AC usage is increasing throughout Europe. But so too is media sensationalism. It’s just Summer. Summer is hot.
@Geiger_Capital British exports grew from £1.6 billion in 1948 to £2.8 billion in 1954, then £3.8 billion in 1960.
The Empire was an expensive waste of money and Britain in the 90s was great.
Then came Blair…
@TheBlackHorse65 Wilhelm announced naval expansion in 1896 and the Tirpitz Naval Act was passed in 1898, 8 years before Dreadnought.
Wilhelm pushed for both naval and colonial expansion, the two things that would push Britain out of isolation and towards the Entente.
@frankwrighter@orm0nde I like Nativist because it makes the logic of what we want unarguable to everyone but Communists.
I am just a native who wants the native people to retain their native lands and rights.
Nobody would object to this if I were Iroquois or Sami, so why not English? Are we lesser?
@ValentineR40550@poperespecter1 Salvation comes through faith in Christ alone.
Not agreement with a globalist Boomer’s liberalism or some self righteous shitposter on X.
Your instincts are correct. Jesus tells us to be innocent, but also to be as wise as serpents to sniff out the wolves.
@poperespecter1@ZoomerHistorian So a practicing Catholic who prays, repents for their sins and takes the sacraments weekly will still be worthy of Eternal Conscious Torment in Hell just for disagreeing with the Pope’s ivory tower liberal boomerism?
What an odd religion.
@Aaronaeus@MidActsPosition There was no ecumenical council to rule on the canon until Trent in the 1500s.
The Council of Rome 382 was local and Jerome made a different list 10 years later. Nobody thought Rome was the final word.
Irenaeus had no problem refuting the heretics with Scripture in the 100s.
@Csl1898rb@Mark_Johnson80@Sargon_of_Akkad There are 8.5K medieval churches in England built before Enclosure and Industrialisation.
We couldn’t and shouldn’t go to multiple churches a week, many of them deep in the country.
Instead our cultural heritage needs protecting and funding from the state. Not sold off.
@ChildofzeCorn@Con_Tomlinson Natives are doing the right thing by having only as many kids as they can afford. The country would be much better off with a smaller population on par with what we had in 1940.
The alternative of a breeding war with Global South immigrants and a race to 90 million is dystopic.
@soulaaorthodox@ChristandGuitar Jesus also didn’t specify which clearly shows he was dealing with an uncontroversial standard canon for Hebrew readers and Aramaic speakers.
@soulaaorthodox@ChristandGuitar We can be sure Jesus would be at odds with the thoroughly corrupt Temple Saddies and their canon, oral canons, marginal purist Essenes in the hills as his was a public ministry. Foreign canons outside Judea would also not be for his core Judean/Galilee audience.
@iBostonBoston@ChristandGuitar So they knew of the DC, but didnt quote from it directly.
The reason the unquoted books of the OT are included are because they are part of the Hebrew canon.
The DC are neither quoted directly nor were part of what Jesus would have called the ‘Scriptures’.
@soulaaorthodox@ChristandGuitar The OT is a later term.
Jesus and the Apostles refer to the Scriptures, the Law, the Prophets and the Psalms.
What would a 1st Century Jew in Judea and Galilee think of when Jesus talks of the ‘Scriptures’ or ‘Moses and the Prophets’?
