So I guess we don't have to pay income taxes anymore ^

He didnt win yet

Oh. I guess I should be more diligent.

IRS was prob hoping to slowly crush him quietly

Would be a great precedent if he wins

Tax veto on religious grounds.... 🤔

Epic

Just need a convenient religion

Hes a mad man but I wish him the best

@Perihelion - CA "convenience" spits in the face of religion, my friend. Most people profess their faith because they actually believe in it's principles - not just because it's politically/financially expedient.

I'd say that holds true for most every religion btw...

In the face of an openly hostile government, I'll take expedience if it works.

okay

The fact my deeply held beliefs are not respected because they're not tied to a government recognized religious tradition is arbitrary so I'll play the game they pose.

Is there any way I can get a jpg of the standard European roots/american greatness poster

@Perihelion - CA are you actually going to play it? Steve McNallen dedicated his life, effectively to having Asatru recognized by the US Military & Govt. It's not an easy task by any means.

@godric Sorry Godric, there is not... Perhaps we will consider releasing prints in the future.

That's my point that unless you want to fully commit, *and have standing*, *and have an established dogma with a documented history* then you have to play within the established religions. Therefore for those of us not neatly fitting into a religious tradition, religions of convenience are expedient.

I'm not meaning to diss on any religions by not perfectly fitting in a box

What is CPAC?

Ah I see what you mean now. I certainly see your point and I largely agree with your point of view.

I'd say that McNallen showed that it in indeed possible, but it's an uphill battle to be sure.

I admire his courage and I hope rights for Asatru will be a benefit to our people.

@Lawrence The largest Conservative (big C) political conference in America.

It's in Washington DC

It’s the Big C lobby

There are no "based black guys"

How so

Disagree https://youtu.be/4hwlKnVzRkg

Sorry it’s long but this guy is based no question. People can agree with us without being our people

Now if you mean there is no community of based blacks, or that based blacks basically aren’t a thing aka there is no substantial number of them, yeah I agree that’s reality

Its doesn't make them white (obviously)
But its possible for someone to agree with the idea without being white. (But its so rare its almost not worth accounting for)

That’s the verbiage I was looking for. So rare it’s not worth accounting for

@VinceChaos I like that guy though I've seen interviews with him

I’ve read that there used to be a big divide between light-skinned American free black communities and ex-slave communities. At one time, they didn’t associate with each other. The two communities also had very different stats for education, criminality, etc.

I believe I read that in Sowell’s ETHNIC AMERICA, but it was a while ago...

I think this black guy is pretty based ☝️

light-skinned American free black are basically 75%+ genetically european

Unlike other mixed races blacks seem to identify as black quickly despite not being a large amount of african genetically.

Do they talk in theaters though?

Yeah the freeing of slaves and their movement north in the post bellum period led to segregation. The little amount of free blacks were mostly free to do what they wanted
