It's no wonder it started in China
Probably an acquired taste
All you naysayers
THE END IS NIGH
Remember to wear your Hazmat suit under your regular clothes for maximum protection
My mother has bronchitis so I'm concerned
Coronavirus is an anagram for carnivorous btw
anime is forbidden here
Yeah sushi is pretty good
Expensive though
Idk it's probably because sea food in general is pretty good
Chinese food is definitely worse compared to Japanese food imo
Moustache man made Austria occupy Germany
We were actually a victim of their autism
People had access to meat, just not on a regular basis in high quantities
If anything dried/smoked/salted meat and fish
Doubt it
It's not critique but slander
Still bad and shouldn't be a thing
Well it does make a difference
Banning criticism for one would render the AfD illegal, which it won't be if slandering it is illegal
It's the difference between banning speaking ill of someone and slander
I know courts are a joke
But it does make a difference
I know it is but even with say hatespeech laws the personal intepretation part of this usually just leads to anarcho tyranny
Some people get prosecuted, some don't
Nobody has a certainty what is and isn't allowed
These laws aren't really bans, but in effect a tool to acause self censorship
Wouldn't you need to swap both
Gnostics aren't paarticularly pleased about god/the demiurge
Nonsense. If anything was novel about christianity it was monotheism, which is why it spread alongside other monotheistic cults like the cult of Sol invictus, mithraism etc.
The main reason christianity spread this much is because the Roman empire and jewish diaspora existed in the first place
Rome making it easy to travel from one corner of the empire to another for preaching, the diaspora being the initial audience for it
Besides what variety of christianity was the one most willingly adopted by pagans? Arianism
Gee I guess the trinity caused Arianism to catch on
Wait until the mormons find out they can make Utah a sanctuary state for polygamy
Catholicism was later adopted for political reasons yes, but that's catholicism replacing arianism not trinitarianism convincing pagans to abandon their ways
Probably and that's a good thing
Exponential growth of technology is folly. Per capita rate of inventions is already going down
Even the most marginal improvements now need dozens of minds to work on
And even then some older tech will fall into disrepair if ppl aren't staying intelligent enough to maintain them
Only hope is for people to realize that IQ and G are seriously important
Anyway regarding the uploading your mind to a computer thing I'm doubtful that it'd work properly and if it doesn't maintain someone's humanity it'd probably be outlawed, hell I'd outlaw it too
It's unlikely we can actually make reasonably sized computers that can emulate a human brain using normal components like circuits etc.
If anything you should keep an eye on something like neuralink by Elon Musk
If the neurons/the brain is the one thing demonstrated to be able to run a mind ppl will look at using similiar components when making replacement parts
I'm actually interested to what degree it'd be workable right now given we've seen even less advanced versions of neuralink allow people to contol a robotic arm remotely
Superb owl is dead. Chinese ate it
There was a wealth of pagan thinker who wrote about their views. it's just that neoplatonism etc. got burried under christianities eventual ascendancy. It's not that there are no sources, just that it died off as a living tradition within christian countries, whereas hinduism for example kept it
People have put a lot of work into reconstructing paganism using whatever sources are available, however now with the knowledge of common roots in an original Indoeuropean faith.
Varg isn't even a relevant figure. It makes more sense to look at the work of Survive the Jive than that mentally ill person
Either way there are good reasons to reject the idea of a prime mover therefore god and whatnot, nevermind that Yahweh is polytheistic in origin. Not as a volcano demon but as a storm god with another god called Asherah as a wife. He also got conflated with a separate god EL by his jewish adherents. For a while Yahweh basically was worshipped in a monolatric fashion, traces of which can still be found in the bible (Worship no other gods besides me rather than there is no god but god in the ten commandments for example)
They converted mostly out of political reasons
Just looking at Hungary for example
The king wanted to convert
And this resulted in a huge revolt
Arians dropped Arianism for diplomatic reason
It's not that ppl were just convinced. It was a mixture of persuasion and other means
Religious Realpolitik so to speak
Sure. There's no reason for say Constantine to convert to christianity in particular is an example
He had other options and christians arguably weren't in a majority at that point
Idk about that. Sure religions share themes about morality but the pagan view of virtue and the divine is different to the one in monotheism
Gods are seen as flawed and subordinate to things like fate and in Hinduism basically everything is subordinate to Dharma
There certainly were monotheistic and monolatric analogues though
The cult of Sol Invictus, Mithraism and the way Jupiter/Zeus was elevated above other gods. Zeus was rarely a patron deity of cities but rather somethign to swear an oth on
There's an older example in Egypt with a monotheistic sun cult
Didn't know that, very interesting
Afaik it might've inspired the jews in Egypt
Regardless there's also an interesting thing about Zeus and the like because tracing back the name to the original Indo-European head deity you get Dyeus Phter which just means sky father or god father
I remember a sotry my mother told me about a Turk sitting under a roof drinking a lot of alcohol
Apparently he said that Allah can't see him under the roof
I don't view it as a natural result, though I'll agree there's a tendency or at least was within religions to sometimes develop into monotheism
I don't like inevitabilisms like the idea that dialectics will inevitably usher in communism or whatever
I'm certainly biased because I'm not a christian though and don't share the same view of god
Yes the AfD does support nuclear
And that's a good thing
Everytime we scrap one of our nuclear plants we just end up importing more electricity from France which heavily relies on guess what? Nuclear power
Islam is strong because it is already well established and at least doctrinally is willing to go to any legth
It is weaker to the degree ppl don't actually follow it strictly
Also of course they have a disadvantage being backwards countries nobody would pay attention to if oil and gas didn't exist
And historically most ppl were illiterate so it wasn't that hard for them to become decadent
First of all disagreeing about the nature of god and the emergence of the universe with christians is a good reason to look at alternate systems of belief. People who want to be amoral become wiccans or stay atheists etc.
Then there's the idea of Dharma which had a predecessor in the old IE religion which I very much like and identify with my views of good as an intangible ideal to strive for (which I had since my agnostic phase)
It's not so much about larping in Marvel costumes or necessarily worshipping any god in particular but first an foremost being in line with that intangible good to the best of my ability
Respecting gods, flawed as they are, I think is a good thing but not necessary for it
Anyway I don't like the term pagan
Wiccans are not in the same category as someone who is trying to be a good person
I have to say that paganism on the internet is in a bad state because of bad apples like Varg
People pick it up superficially and then don't bother to do the work to actually behave properly
Regarding the racial aspect, yes it factors into it and it should if you're not someone who thinks in terms of universal salvation and whatnot
Modern atheists and progressives represent actually what preceded Indo_European paganism
The old matriarchal fertility cults of early European farmers
If we're turning back to that it's only a question of time old paganism will supplant it too which is highly hierarchical, masculine and idealistic as far as we can tell or another potent meme will do the job
Maybe islam idk
I could see muslims taking over countries and shitlibs converting en masse to avoid paying Jizya
I don't actually think so. As German I've seen secularized muslims
Secularized as in tainted by liberalism
First gen guestworkers were pretty ok, behaved well etc.
2nd gen and onwards it only goes downhill
They never really drop islam, jsut violate its principles
Which also leads some of them to want to repent in a typically islamic way
Either they become salafists and do nothing or they cause issues
In my city there's actually quite a number of salafists because Hamburg didn't want them to organize there
You see them walking around from time to time
In white robes with long beards
I've also been to an Ahmadiyya mosque back in my school days
It's not islam
Yeah it's a really minor sect of muslims which jsut ignore the qur'an when they don't like it
They had banners saying "Muhammad liberator of women"
