Generally speaking, every house in Florida didn’t need to be replaced every five years.

Gotcha, find its card and rip it out.

Uh oh, it’s USS Liberty time

You are entirely too invested in not being wrong about a historical fact of etymology. You can just say “okay fair enough.”

That’s going to happen in any community. All you can do about it is checking your own assumptions and providing what you see as proof yourself.

Or calling them a bunch of idiots. That won’t do any good, in a community sense, but it can be personally satisfying.

I think togas are a kind of dress but fair enough because they also wore skirts.

Russia is a fascist state and doesn’t care about that, or hypocrisy.

That’s your missing information.

We don’t know how old Hel is and it’s probably the single most syncretized aspect of Germanic/Norse belief.

It’s honestly pretty annoying that the Romans didn’t just dislike recording details about other religions, they’d actively lie about them, like Tacitus saying the Germanics didn’t have anthroform gods when we have so much proof now that they did.

I mean, that’s literally the actual historical interpretation.

Funnily enough, no, that’s what we call God. Old Testament God is an evil fuckhead in Gnosticism because he’s a fraud.

Possibly. A lot of modern scholars are revisiting what they think Gnostics believe and doing weird things like “believing them when they write what they believe”

I’d like to see your statistical records.

I thought the reason men can’t stop thinking about Rome is because the crimes of Rome are the foundation of all Western Evil

The end goal of fascism, per Mussolini:

“All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state.”

Fascism innately rejects the concept of the separation of powers and human rights alike.

If you view the traditional three pillars of heirarchy and power in a capitalist society as the state, the corporations, and the church, the absorbtion of both corporate and church power is simply the end goal. You might also ask “couldn’t the corporate powers or churches effectively do the same thing by absorbing the others instead?”

Funnily enough, Hirohito and Japan had already effectively absorbed that pillar of power with State Shinto and the literal deification of the imperial line.

There’s a really good mod for Crusader Kings 2 where you play in a post-apocalypse America and one of the religion groups is Americanism, with the Founding Fathers as gods.

It’s supposed to be a commentary on the concept of the American civil religion but it’s mostly just awesome because NYC is still a Republic that follows one of the branches, and one of the starting families that rules Gotham is the Waynes :)

Reestablishing America as Batman wasn’t quite what I expected from a CK2 mod but it was the best possible way to say goodbye to the system before CK3 dropped.

Yeah say whatever you want about Xi’s rapid descent into red fascism, his rule seems stable enough, and with how humans work it’s going to stay that way as long as the economy keeps growing. And it WILL keep growing because that’s just how industrialization works.

It’s literally just history, and one of the founders of “anarcho-capitalism” has a direct quote in one of the most read “libertarian” books of all time bragging about how they stole the term from real libertarians, but feel free to be wrong about this one thing, it won’t hurt anything but your own understanding.

The wise wait until they’re out of the country to criticize a fascist regime, and even then they watch their backs.

Dude, the point is that anarchist and libertarian are the same word, and capitalists stole one and smeared the other.
