That's what I like about Orthodoxy. I have spoken to other converts who have shown me this, about the remembrance of death everyday. It is very healthy and realistic.

this is an icon commemorating the unborn. think abortion, basically.

This particular music piece is the worst kind of blasphemy though. It uses lyrics from Russian Orthodox liturgy and replaced the word 'God' with 'I', and adds demonic screams to verses. This is much worse than regular blasphemy that is just profanity.

I won't post anymore.

it's good to be reminded of death, as per orthodoxy, anyways.

Unique to it also. I believe this is apart of what drove Luther crazy, apart of other things.

I think it's iconic of "Civic Religion" to simply *forget* death even exists..

it's good to remember, psychologically. you get to appreciate the beauty of life more.

I agree 100% in my experience. There is a certain clarity you achieve when contemplating the plain reality before us. Too often the comforts of life shield us from the realisations we need.

commodities...

you know, people have no worries when they get home, really.

even with air conditioning, they don't have to worry about something as minor as the temperature.

I was raised in a poor household. Really, you don't remember the discomfort. You remember the good times.

it is better to be poor anyways

from any cultural or moral standpoint

I mean from a christian standpoint sure

Not from AnCap standpoint.

modern amenities breed nihilism

They do.

the contentness provided is what justifies the status quo

are you going to start arguing for the noble savage as well

so the question really becomes if this is even reversible

or if it even can change

@LahodeNo We already do. Well, we argue for agrarianism.

Agriculture society.

@Deleted User I don't think it is reversible.

ew

gross

Why ew?

primitivits

No.

agrarianism =/= primitivism

Not Primitivist.

no well you accept the level of technology that living in an agrarian society gives you

Not accept. It is based on local materials.

Well that just depends on your definition of local

Not really. In a society based on agriculture, manufacture takes a back seat. The local is defined by what you can obtain without large industry.

I can DM you our Discord which has a manifesto to explain our position.

yeah I would like to see the manifesto

are agarianists people who think that farms>factories?
