This didn't start with Private Ryan, most of the Vietnam War genre is this
Saving Private Ryan ruined war movies. They used to be so much more fun and cool. Now they’re all crybaby stories.

Sorry samurai larper, it's the Edo period now, the rich merchant gets the geisha
Jun 12
The samurais were the “virgins” while the merchants were the “chads” in Edo Japan. This is probably why samurais made up bushido because they were tired of being mocked as nerdy bureaucrats.

I kinda understand the appeal of larping as Orthodox if you're an e-rightoid, being a tradcath must be embarrassing at this point

The drama of migration must serve as an appeal to the conscience of the nations of origin of the migrants, which must establish conditions for peace, justice and development. It is also an appeal to the conscience of the transit nations, which are called to protect the vulnerable and not leave them in the hands of criminal networks. It is likewise an appeal to the conscience of Europe, which cannot claim to uphold human dignity while growing accustomed to the Mediterranean and the Atlantic becoming unmarked graves, as well as that of the international community, which is called to effective and persevering cooperation. #ApostolicJourney vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/e…

The fact that Europeans technically reached America long before Columbus is cool but got somewhat reddified - "akshually Columbus didn't discover it!" - yes he did because no European at the time was thinking about Vinland or realized it was actually a giant unknown continent

Vinland (North America) gets depicted in a disproportionate amount of Norse related media even though it was pretty unimportant for the Vikings and a generally minor event in world history

The horse in fact appears in the Odyssey and not in the Iliad
There is no Trojan Horse in The Odyssey.
You idiots.
You fucking morons.

I think this depends on era because the Greco-Roman world definitely did have intellectuals who did not take the stories of their gods at face value at all

GRRM's problem -and they almost all do this- is that he can't imagine a world where religion is taken seriously. Every single "educated" person in his work sneers at the idea. This is not how things worked, historically.

Sometimes I wonder why more Protestants didn't reject it. Guess it's too much deconstruction of what Christianity even is
Jun 7
one of my most Mormon opinions is that it's Cool Actually that Mormons reject the Trinity, because the Trinity is some of the most incoherent doctrine any religion has ever assembled
don't worry, they're all different and also all the same; it's ineffable

This whole thing has been an interesting clash of two progressive axioms:
1. Abortion is heckin essential healthcare and always a legitamte choice for the woman
2. Don't you dare ever suggest there's anything wrong with any disability
Seeing LEFTISTS have a problem with this is bizarre. We are regressing

I'm sure calling Israeli leftists who do oppose the occupation etc "settlers" will help this cause
Jun 4
It's actually very much worth analyzing the structural reasons Israel has so little violent internal (ie, "settler") dissent to its genocidical history when many if not all other settler colonies have examples of that kind of dissent. This is not it.
