Just so you are aware, the Eastern Orthodox church has made communism anathema, meaning that you cannot be a communist Ortho Christian.

If I recall it was initially pronounced in 1913 or 1917, and re-iterated again in the 1970s. I don't recall the precise dates, but I love that it has been recognized for the Cain-like evil doctrine it is.

@DoubleD

That's encouraging.

One of the benefits of belonging to a 2,000 year tradition is that it has been battle-tested against some of the worst regimes in recorded history. That comes with a great deal of wisdom, e.g. how to recognize when to run a marathon instead of a sprint.

This bullshit we're living through took generations to create, and it might well take generations to repair.

@ButtWorldsMan

Totally up for the Dark Barron arc.

@Justicar

They made an ideological prison for themselves, locked themselves in and then threw away the key.

No-one else to blame.

@DoubleD @RoninGrey @ButtWorldsMan

Correct.

Now try explaining that to a woman.

@Justicar

Just on these terms alone, this is why Trump needs to ditch Project Ukraine, make some kind of amends with Russia and re-focus on Project China.

If during this time, Europe insists on still acting like a bunch of crying babies, the EU Project will be dead inside of 4 years, and that prediction comes from the EU itself.

Geopolitically Trump = money 1st while Europe = ideology 1st.

Guess which approach wins?

@Justicar

Instead of reacting to ragebait slop, try seeing what Trump needs to accomplish in raw terms.

It is a game of trade figures between US, Europe and China:

* Europe does +200B dollars with US, and -200B with China, net= 0

* US does -300B to China, -200B to Europe, net = -500B

* China does +200B with Europe, +300B with US, net = +$500B

These are the the cold hard monetary facts about the current global trade balance that Trump sees and is seeking to rebalance in the US's favor

@marlathetourist

That was well said by Vance. The sour look on all the faces of those boomer 4-star generals on the take says it all.

Great article, bookmarked.

This trained cowardice Hollywood propaganda has been there since I was a kid and it became a joke even then, not that any of us knew it was propaganda. It was just funny.

The A-team discharged hundreds of rounds, no kills.

G.I. Joe etc...

My first instinct when I finally saw Rorschach was Yes! He was intended to be "the bad Batman" that we hate but that's not how it turned out.

Batman was always the cuck,

> all media teaches "don't take revenge" and "the noble thing is to forgive."

Couldn't agree more.

This was also one of Uncle Ted's observations about modern society, namely that our grandfathers and beyond lived in times more connected to FAFO, and would instantly reject the "forgive everything, be a doormat" mantra as a pacification trick.

Industrialization required docility, but Globalism requires it on steroids.

Well spotted. I'm enjoying the Wednesday show less and less since TFM became a guest on the Halsey Morning Constitutional.
