  • *Hits the Blessed Waterpipe of Panaji*

    Under Trinitarianism, God would be a they/them, because they’re literally several people.

    According to the common understanding of the doctrine of virgin birth, Mary got impregnated through the Holy Spirit rather than The Father rawdogging her. This suggests that the Holy Spirit is a dick and thus probably male.

    The Father is, according to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, not a man or a woman. That being said, neither Hebrew nor Aramaic nor Koine Greek have gender-neutral pronouns (except perhaps calling The Father “it” in Koine Greek, which would be hilarious but sadly would not be approved of by a killjoy like Paul).




  • I interact with enough tankies to tell you in advance.

    In the view of tankies, Russia isn’t imperialist due to some weaseling with how they define imperialism in economic terms.

    The US, on the other hand, is as imperialist in tankies’ minds as it is in reality.

    Thus, to to them, Russia is waging an anti-imperialist war with the long-term goal of establishing a “multi-polar” world.

    Thus, the tankie conclusion is that NK is heroically sending in the soldiers to help fight imperialism.

    I see no need to try and explain why this is wrong. That’s left as an exercise for the reader.



  • After the debate and especially after the botched assassination attempt, I felt despair and a hopeless sense of certainty that our comrades in the USA would have to endure a Trump presidency and all of us around the world would suffer the consequences.

    I’m genuinely optimistic now. I think Harris can win.

    People who complain about her not being a socialist or how electoralism won’t change the system are missing the point. Those are true things, but the alternative is a fascistic climate change denier with the Sons of Jacob as his cabinet.

    The Americans are standing at a crossroads between an increasingly fragile status quo and tyranny. As much as I hate the status quo, I’m glad that the odds are now smiling far less at tyranny.

    EDIT after the election: Lol
