Let's fix a wrong from 150 years ago with people that had nothing to do with any of it. <:really:453005408064241674>

The ironic part is that the jesuits used to be the most active in missionary work

@Virgil. Tell that to the new (white) Muslim convert politician in Belgium...

Is that what i said? Nope

Jesuits sold out to modernism within the past decade. Jesuits were always the favorite order of the rich.

Except when they got kicked out of every catholic country and abolished by Pope Pius VII

I’m sorry it was Clement XIV who abolished them and Pius VII who restored them

They seems to have a history of being kicked out no matter where they are 🤔

It is a black flag to us, no doubt. It is the source of Arab power against us. We never took it and made it our own, the way we made the spin off religion Christianity ours. I'm not actually advocating this today, just wondering if it could have happened. I am saying though their dominating religion is winning. I think that is certainly healthy, for them

It is only healthy in the way of domination and nothing more

I wonder if Patrick ever gets bored of dunking on all those twitter catladies...

Road tripping, stopped at [business redacted] and the regional manager is wringing these poor huwyte fry cooks out like he's Alec Baldwin at the end of "Glengarry Glen Ross."

Restrained urge to huwyte commie post IRL

I love being a fry cook

It’s actually fun

I like grilling

Islam didn't exist until several hundred years after the fall of Rome

@John O - Do you think it's actually a responsibility for everyone? Some people don't seem to have a natural skill for understanding politics and they'd probably be better off focusing their energy on something else.

Israel should pay for the wall

Islam was founded in like 600 AD

Yes. Politics is the way that you interact with the world, in it's most basic sense. If you don't even have the capacity for that, idk what to tell you

@Jonaltright If Islam had been co-opted by Rome, it would have ended up like Christianity. Religions don't create cultures, cultures create religions.

I do see some similarities in practice between Catholicism and Stoicism.

Islam couldn’t have been co opted by Rome because it wasn’t founded until 609 BC

Politics is largely determined by biology. Males vs females for example. So politics is the realm of men not women. Some populations are biologically socialist, others more conservative, then things like abundance will sway things one way or another

The only thing i liked about being a line cook back in the day was the waitresses. <:teehee:381917632359563264>

@Asatru Artist - MD There will always be outliers like that, but I doubt native Belgians are comverting to Islam en masse.

@Jacob @John O -

@Asatru Artist - MD

If anything Europeans are more hostile to the religion of Islam than they are to brown people themselves

to be honest I think some of the hostility towards Islam is just latent racial feelings that Islam gives people a more socially acceptable target to direct towards

We have a very violent history with Islam, I don't see a White country converting to Islam *at all*.

Who was saying Rome existed at the same time as Islam?

That isn't strictly speaking untrue.

@Jacob I think a lot of hostility is because if Christianity is true. Islam is satanic

Islam conquered half of Europe until we fought back with the crusaders. We're nowhere near to that point, and people are already fed up with the immigrants in Europe.

They were referring to the Roman Empire of the West I assume

@Jacob That's what I think. I think that when the religious defer that question it's because it makes them feel as if Christianity is not the preordained "true" religion, and that is depressing to them, so they write it off. But you have answered honestly, in my opinion

Islam got as far as taking over a large portion of France and got all the way to Vienna at one point

@Ryan - IN I mean I guess but so is Judaism and plenty of other religions
