If not for their bad case of Main Character Syndrome (including assumptions of Plot Armor), I’d remind them that there’s always a risk of some archon deeming them undesirables to be confined to concentration camps.

I think there’s the matter of also wanting markedly superior status—which won’t be possible in anything like egalitarianism. As previous offerings of him evince, Snake isn’t that different from Tim Rifat except for not glorifying sadism so outwardly. Think in terms of Mudsill Theory, that refinement isn’t possible without a permanent underclass of drab, resigned laborers.

I’d swear they’ve gladly become addicted to sneering and contemning. (No, that’s not a misspelling.)

“Eye for an eye” wasn’t so much a hard mandate as a hard ceiling—no life for an eye, for example. That’s behind oral Torah views that monetary remuneration equivalent to the eye or other was sufficient to avoid risk of also taking the life, for instance.

I know I’m wondering if Trump becoming President again might lead to the Northeast seceding to act as a haven and/or departure point to another continent for anyone who can escape (with or without others’ aid).

Even better, it was Thebai who broke Sparta’s power by tying their forces up well enough that most of the Helots could escape to lands that would neither enslave nor remand them. That basically emptied Sparta of its fuel.

Note that we don’t seem to actually have much evidence for the Sacred Band’s charioteers being romantic couples. But I wouldn’t be surprised if Thebai encouraged some sort of camaraderie, whether born of eros or philia, that the idea derived from. Point being that Boeotia’s forces probably had plain better sense of humanity than Sparta’s.

They’ll hopefully do better on realizing (a) omnipotence and omnibenevolence just aren’t compatible (what with the latter implying respect for Agency, and the former necessarily precluding it, even if not really in the same way Fate does/would), and (b) El is far better understood as suprapotent than omnipotent, certainly in the Old Testament. Omnipotence var. Christianity is more from Zoroastrianism, Platon, and (I think) Epikouros than anything in the Tanakh.

The Hellenist #crackpot #psycho #wingnut

Between this and their lauding of slavery, I think we can safely say they adulate (and probably romanticize) Sparta.

But really, what happens when any given boy proves inherently unsuitable for the military, whether physically or mentally? Such is not exactly a thing of evil (while weakness-shaming is).

Johann Weyer would probably have a field day with him. Except for the usual problem that Kincaid et al. probably see witches as the power-hungry conjurors Weyer thought were the real concern.

Then again, sorcerers against capitalism? As long as they only conjure actual Goetia Goodies like Buer and Orobas, I’m not sure what the issue is.

I know I’m wondering why the Jews are so often the ultimate scapegoat with conspiracists. All I can think of offhand is the Hebrews’ historical reluctance to assimilate to more than very slight degrees—which I can imagine a good number of would-be hegemonics as deeming a slight on their “obvious” glory and superiority. “Why would any sane person not want to be just like Us, perfect in all ways as We are?!” (What capitalization error?)

I don’t think male milk is supposed to be superior to female. Just helpful for bonding (and probably introducing the father’s antibodies to the child).

Besides, the men of Nigeria’s Aka tribe have long been doing minor lactation through herbal stimulation (I guess the leaves have hormone mimics???). You’re not going to condemn them for something the Aka women clearly have no issue with, are you?

EDIT: Bah, I was confused by the original article using Nigeria’s domain. Kongo area, not Nigeria.

I’m sure those who contend with safety seats from the onset get used to the work pretty quickly. An extra avenue to dote on their children, at least?

Besides, the masks actually do best as worn by those with aerosol-transmissible pathogens–such as the common cold, not just COVID-19. (I used one myself yesterday precisely because of a cold I had.) Japan did plenty right in normalizing use of facemasks well before COVID-19 made landfall there. Learn from them in that. (No, you do not get to use any sense of exceptionalism or destiny to claim otherwise. Double standards will not be suffered in Justice’s sight.)

Looking at his past, it’s probably more accurate to say he’s a resolute edgelord var. egotist. His only true concern is riling up as many people as he can at any given moment. Lasting convictions get only contempt from him. (Great, now I’m imaging him with the Joker’s voice…)

Remember that the justification was about interdicting drug use, bullying, and truancy—behavioral enforcement, ultimately. Going after whatever lies behind drugs and truancy, and counseling and reproof of the bullies (or however else you get them to permanently renounce cruelty), apparently aren’t on the menu.

Okay, time to find out which Australian tribes have traditions of emergency male lactation, and bring that up to this lot. I just wish I knew how to seek scholarly/-adjacent articles out regarding them.

Of course, with my luck, they’ll say male lactation inducement, be the man cis or trans, is proof positive that British takeover was a net boon for Australia…

EDIT: My search didn’t land Australian right away. Northwest African, however… https://www.pulse.ng/lifestyle/food-travel/meet-the-aka-tribe-where-men-breastfeed-babies/sgwgfg8

Not much mining in this case; Nehemiah Adams was genuinely supportive of Southern plantation slavery. The rest of Massachusetts doesn’t seem to have been pleased with him when he published his book.

That said, I thought before reconnoitering the page that she was quoting George Fitzhugh–the one who believed that 95% of humanity had an “inalienable right” to be slaves to the remaining (presumably all or nearly all white, no black to be seen) 5%. It certainly looked like a lead-up to “the majority of whites would be happy as slaves, too”.

Pennsylvania South Western School District’s school board #transphobia

Looking at the rest of the article, Gelazela had flatly stated for the school that only the toilet stalls proper could be rightly deemed private; he says the idea is to be able to keep watch for things like vaping and bullying. (The latter would be quite a trick for the single-user gender-neutral bathrooms.) That the windows allowed sound to leave the bathrooms as well doesn’t help. Best part? The windows were part of an increased privacy package. I have to wonder how Gelazela framed that part.

EDIT: Rechecking, the windows were more trumpeted as about safety than privacy. Still bundled with privacy wards, though; did Gelazela think it was fine as long as there was a net gain in privacy, even with known flaws in said privacy?

Laura Wood #racist

For the record, she’s approvingly quoting something a Nehemiah Adams said in 1860.

EDIT: 1855, rather; 1860 was probably a later edition. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nehemiah_Adams

On the subject of Kayin being especially malign, should we tell him about a long midrashim tradition which implies that Abel may not have been much better than Kayin? Seth seems to have been where Adam and Havva really got it right.

Considering the troublesome qualities of said necrotic goo, maybe he decided the potential for Mediterranean ports was a better idea?

Brian Niemeier #fundie #wingnut

@TheKingOfRhye #207403

Certainly at least ultimate human symbol of evil, although whether we’re narrowing ourselves to comparatively recent Eurosphere is a possible concern (Andrew Jackson and Leopold II of Belgium come to mind). But again, I think Niemeier is objecting to anyone besides Lucifer as being deemed Ultimate Evil, although what he has that Hitler et al. didn’t besides magnitude (will to tyrannize God and the entire cosmos, not “just” the Earth/solar system/galactic arm) is uncertain.

I think this is born out by his approval of the witch hunters, as warlocks/conjurors/etc. were supposed to be trafficking with Lucifer himself. He probably sees that as the limit of human malice and treachery.

Although it probably isn’t much to speak, I’m not sure he’s defending Hitler so much as he’s objecting to regarding anyone besides Lucifer as the incarnation of evil (i.e. however evil Hitler was, he would have been less evil than Lucifer).

Regarding the Salem witch hunts as right and proper still does him no favors, though. I’d consider having him look through Johann Weyer’s refutation of Malleus Maleficarum, but he probably sees witches as more like the conjurors that Weyer did think were an issue. Just without the tacit realization that those conjurors are over in the upper class (“This still isn’t enough power and prestige! I must have MORE!”), not lower and middle.

That it’s for God’s satisfaction fits with how Anselm of Canterbury saw the mechanism of vicarious atonement in “Cur Deus Homo” (Why the God-Man). Somehow not looking at Kings, Paralipomenon, etc. for how Levantine government worked, Anselm instead extrapolated from his own era’s understandings of crime penalties. Flat restitution of what was taken wasn’t enough when you were talking nobility; you also had to pay according to the deprived/damaged dignity (paying dignity like that was held crucial to discourage lawlessness). Long story short, God’s dignity is infinite, so TRUE restitution to him (because he authored morality, so every sin slights his reputation for perfect reasoning—the sinner is falsely saying their reasoning is superior) ALSO has to be infinite, therefore requiring infinite punishment as only God can access infinite anything. The sinner certainly can’t, being made into an eternal example aside. (Thus the God-Man of Jesus; only that way could infinite ransom actually be made without God wronging himself.)

Never mind that Muggles can be said to stand in for people consistently (and probably willfully) blind to one’s alleged specialness/splendor. It’s not so much Harry finding his normal as him finding his rightful aristocracy. The Weasleys are even basically Impoverished Patricians (i.e. their at-least-comparative penury is supposed to be understood as a temporary setback, naught else).
