The Era of Biden

[Smitty-48]

The fucking Enlightenment.

was only a revolt against Popery, selling tickets to Heaven

the Convenanters brought it to America on the boat, from Scotland

that is what Scots - Irish means

[DBTrek]

this degeneracy we are facing is only degenerate by Christian standards

but it is not anti-Western

the pre-Christian Romans behaved this way, this bacchanal of Satanic debauchery is entirely Western

it is simply pre-Christian Western, a regression to the Principate upon the Palatine Hill

Tiberius Caesar lives

Quite true.
To wit, the latest PRay Tell Dr. Hash opens by mocking the resurrection.
Sometimes it's hard to identify 'the enemy' correctly when one shares significant ideological overlap.

It makes me wonder if during the collapse of the USSR, men commies and women commies lined up opposite of each other, pointing and shouting "this is YOUR fault".

Like - neither could bring themselves to blame communism, so they had to find some way to create an outgroup to blame - and sex provided a handy divisor.

there is only one enemy

he is not even named in the Bible

he is only named in the Book of Enoch, Samyaza, leader of the Watchers, the Malakh who rebelled against the Lord

the Romans translated his name as Lucifer, which means Bringer of Light, from Isaiah : Morning Star

[Martin Hash]

Russians are STILL Commie-positive.

[DBTrek]

Russians are STILL Commie-positive.

The men too?
Well.
Good to see you admit you were wrong about the enemy.

Answer your own question: you’re the one who evoked the Soviets. (My guess is “no” but women live everywhere.)

[Martin Hash]

We have more than one person on this forum who considers liberty to be the enemy: that’s one thing all authoritarians agree on.

[DBTrek]

And yet ... me, Fife, and Carlus seem to be the only ones that think absolute minimal authority, resulting in minimized risk of authoritarianism, is the right path.

The rest of you simply argue over who the government should use its authority to coerce, punish, or re-educate.
So ... on that count we agree.
Lots of authoritarians up in here.

But... you know ... there's something to be said for order I guess.
Trains on time, and all that.

All this women being the enemy talk is giving me a vibe that Martin is trying to come out to us as gay without actually coming out to us as gay.

I'm confused as to why DB thinks I'm an authoritarian. I hate the government, regardless of the party. The less they do the better. Does simply wanting Police around qualify as authoritarian?
