You're welcome fam

I’ve just spent my evening trying to explain to an Irishman how his country is heading for the gutter if his fellow countrymen don’t make serious and drastic changes, only for him to respond gloatingly about how terrible England currently is.

This is why blind nationalism is terrible.

A substantial part of loving your country is being prepared to admit that she’s becoming horrifically bad, whilst trying to change such.

Yet now when I wish to reconcile with him, he continues to respond with anti-English jokes and insults.

I don’t know why I try.

The more you get to know them, the more you tend to realise how quite politically unsound even conservative Irish people are.

The problem with Ireland is that it was a country built on clericalism enforced by democratically elected leaders.

Whilst clericalism is all well and good, you cannot trust a representative democracy to uphold it.

The founding principles of the Irish Republic caused nothing more than a Frankenstein state.

Clericalism, Catholic social policy, no distinct separation of Church and state, yet with regular elections, a secular head of state, unending social freedoms, and absolute equality.

It makes no sense. It’s a bastardised hybrid system.

It’s for the exact same reason that we ought not be too excited about the newfound socially conservative successes in the US and Italy.

Democracy and Christian virtues never successfully cohabit for more than a few decades (at most).

I hope you’ll forgive my rant. I’ve just become incredibly irritated by some democracy-supporting Christians as of late.

I'm not sure any other political system can work in the modern age without falling into despotism.

Man has tried just about every single form of government imaginable and they all suck.

Democracy just sucks the least on balance

Some kind of monarchy has its benefits but then you get the inevitable bad ruler and you're in worse shape than democracy at its lowest points

Monarchy is the only form of governance for anybody who wishes to permanently enforce Christian social teaching.

no such thing as "permanently" in this fallen world

Monarchy eternal
Fascism and communism are sides of a coin

fascism but instead of a dictator youve got a monarch

Fascism is authoritarian like monarchy

Trying to say that there is an opposition in values of monarchy and fascism is infinitely retarded

Fascism is how a monarchy is born

is owning a Jesus bobblehead sinful?

Mozal's not wrong, tbf.

I wouldn't say it's a "sin", but I don't think it'd be appropriate.

alright

Hi and thanks !

tbh monarchy and fascism are complementary, and fascism can not be compared to communism except for their revolutionary side

Both are eschatological, wanting the perfect society here on Earth and so on

not really, one is materialist, the other is spiritualist, one is messianic, the other is frankly realist even if they have an ideal

I don't really think you can find quotes from Mussolini saying Italia will have a perfect society

Why does the Vatican host a Geocities-tier online Bible?

Still better than some generic bootstrap white and blue garbage

Someday I will try to make some modern but still over the top gothic looking web template

Lads. Is it unethical to invest in currency trading? 🤔

As long as is it doesn’t come before Christ then I don’t see anything wrong with it
