@diversity_is_racism your whole complaint about the pussiness and stupidity of the plot boil down to "I wish anime authors wrote it"

you basically wish it was Madoka Magica

which despite being ten times as dark and deep is hilariously disguised as magical girl bullshit so that no normies will ever watch it

the cheap shit is big budget and playing in theaters, the real shit is wearing catgirl ears and hiding under a picture of Sailor Moon in some neckbeard's bedroom

ANIME AUTHORS? OR JUST GOOD WRITING? HARD TO TELL

JUST NOT A GREAT MOVIE IMHO

anime is written extremely well by american standards an absurd percentage of the time

bad anime is often better than the best american shows

seriously, I dare you to watch madoka

That bruce article is an exquisite synthesis of frozak, crow, and western redemption.

"So, given that the mass of people are battering down the doors of the Evil Illuminati to demand their own psychic enslavement, and the enslavement of everyone else - then the fact that The System looks like collapsing before this can be achieved is, surely, A Good Thing?"

He even writes reality with a capital R.

"My understanding that: 1. the raised-Lazarus is the author of the Fourth Gospel – renamed the Beloved Disciple; 2. that the episode of Mary of Bethany anointing the feet of Jesus with spikenard was a mystical marriage ceremony; and that 3. Mary Magdalene is the same person as Mary of Bethany – renamed after her marriage to Jesus."

makes sense

I like these "muh tradition" people casually advancing heresy.

Not enough to believe in an american novelty pseudo-religion

Have to advance heretical subjective interpretations of non-verifiable stories to start with.

Plot twist: Bruce is agent of Satan.

and what do you believe in Horns

Personal metaphysics is an uninteresting subject.

I'm concerned with whether people's beliefs are what they categorize them as.

And whether B properly follows from A.

With Bruce, it doesn't.

I see

yeah bruce charlton is unimpressive and poorly thought through

(I assume that's who you're talking about)

Ye

as a mormon I am unimpressed by his impressions of mormonism

he is poorly read in his religion

if he actually read it through, all the crap he speculates on, he would have clear doctrinal direction on

I think he's actually Kanglican he just admires Mormons

I'm about at the point wherein I'm going to a priori exclude baby boomers from intellectual consideration.

What you don't appreciate their depth of self-help-slogans-as-thought?

I can't think of one I respect.

Can you?

Am I forgetting one?

No
