Myths of Violence

A Machiavellian breakdown of MMA commentary, narratives, and incentives.

[Myths of Violence @mythsov]

MMA fans talk about “boring fights” as though they’re violations of the natural order...But what actually offends the viewer isn’t inactivity.

It’s the collapse of a story they’ve inherited.

@ufc @urketaraketa @paramountplus Is that the host from Hot Ones?

@clairlemon Barbie is more of a conservative cultural artefact than The Odyssey.

@MrsMagdaBeard @MatthewWiersema @soupcanarchist If you don't show gruesome, anti-abortion signs to people dogmatically oppesed to abortion then how will they know not to get an abortion?

[Myths of Violence @mythsov]

@MatthewWiersema @MrsMagdaBeard @soupcanarchist That's right! You have to be doing so much more! Like holding a sign! Actually, hold 2 signs!

Nay, I say! 66 signs! One for every book of the King James Bible heeeeymen!

@Nicholai_Korea @C2Antiquity @Alex_Ortodoxie I have a guy at my church who is a former street preacher. I asked "was anyone ever convinced by the street preaching?"

"No, never"

Same vibe. Dude thinks he is saving the world by being completely unconvincing.

@ChristandGuitar Tucker has had a Protestant on every show. It's himself. Tucker is a Protestant.

@Nicholai_Korea I don't really know what Western Rite is and at this point I am too afraid to ask.

[Myths of Violence @mythsov]

@BIGSHOTv1 I don't have a problem with it, but I don't get it. I had never heard of the WR until the last few years.

The OCA church I go to is 90% converts, including the priest, and no one seems to be worried about going to a different rite.

@RonaldsRDonalds Anti-Orthodox apologetics are a psyop by Men's Wearhouse. Less evangelicals means the value of grey suits and white button downs takes a nose dive.

@Fr_RonPG @YouTube Please ask him what "replacement theology" means.

@sircalebhammer Having been a former CPC investigator, let me tell you is worse than you think.

@sanderson1611 You guys will evangelize every country but Israel.

@larissinya Every diner in the South East is owned by Greeks that employ some Yia Yia to sling this stuff all day. We are well versed.

@godspeed_aflame CICO isn't weight loss advice anymore than the formula for lift is plane flying advice.

The issue is how to get someone who overeats to lower their CI without feeling like they are starving.

@infomiracle1 @mtracey @HunterBiden I'm assuming 5x8 prints. Maybe $500 for the original.

[Myths of Violence @mythsov]

@jay_acuna Way too long. How is he supposed to move with all that restrictive fabric?

[Myths of Violence @mythsov]

@RRR0BYN OH YOU THINK THE ANCIENT TEXTS ARE COOL AND INTERESTING WHATS WRONG WITH YOU?

[Myths of Violence @mythsov]

@Gravantus It was a good interview and Religion of the Apostles is a cool book.
