the War Socialism during WWI in the US radically changed average person's relationship with the government

no WWI, no progressive era, which more or less buried classical liberalism as a political force, until rebranded as libertarianism in the 50s

Technically Liberal mens generous expansive, open to all options. Conversative means sticking close to norm, preserving status quo. In life, both theses attitudes are important to individual well being in different situations

....means

Damn another caravan coming

send the predator drones

Well what did you think christianity was originally?

an obscure cult

that got almost totally co-opted by the roman state

for reasons of social control

and Jesus was?

what religion did he belong to?

an obscure cult leader

e.e

Judaism

He was born a Jew and died a Jew

he was a heretic of judaism though

so the jews had him executed

with the help of some romans

Yes

pretty much

But it was more like the Jews were loosing followers

So they had him excommunicated the old-fashioned way

cults and prophets were pretty common back then

so it was just business as usual

I do think it is weird that a funeral would be held for you if you were excommunicated

These days you wouldn't die, but a funeral would still take place

he probably got torn apart from birds or something

in reality

or died from dehydration

maybe he was deathly allergic to palm leaves

it's possible his followers grabbed his body and buried him afterward

probably

welp

we will never know

Or it's all made up bullshit

he was probably real but like a pretty minor figure

kinda like if people decided to start a cult of harambe

yea, i dont think jesus existed

nor most 'historical' jewish figures

IF he was real, he was a Nazarene, which was a jewish sect influenced by greek philosophy when ALexander invaded
