Yeah, so I ran into a blog of a far left blogger that lives in Alaska. Seems to be one of those leftists that love the smell of his own farts from his writing, if you know what I mean: https://northierthanthou.com I checked his About and saw him claiming to be from Alaska, and it made me wonder how a far left wing dickhead ended up in Alaska, and it appears he lives in a town that seems to be rather bipartisan for a "Republican" state.
I've seen some posts in the right wing media sphere about Alaska being "reliably" Republican, but it seems a certain part of Alaska that was originally named "Barrow" had some nativist activist pushing to have it renamed back to its previous name.
So after over a hundred years of having it named "Barrow" for the British dude that occupied it for over 100 years, they renamed it to "Utqiagvik", and the idiot who advocated for it can't even speak the original language the old name is based off of.
Another thing from the article I picked up, that made me draw some parallels to the 2020 election "fraud" was this part at the very beginning:
The ordinance, which appeared on the October 4 ballot, originally failed in preliminary results. But it passed by 381 votes to 375 after absentee and question ballots were counted. A resolution adopting the name change was signed by Mayor Bob Harcharek on Monday, a day proclaimed as Indigenous Peoples Day by Governor Bill Walker.
This town seems to be Democrats, but considering there was a strong opposition to it, I find it interesting the margin was this narrow. You'd think all the Republicans in this town would kick up a huge fuss. Very convenient the "absentee" votes were found and the pro-Democrat resolution won.
Just some random NOTICING I did today. Just something I'm filing for the continual attack from social justice activists to undermine and dilute modern American (white) culture. I'm Korean by blood but born American and I'm fucking flabbergasted that a huge population of white people have brainwashed themselves into hating their own race and vote for stuff like this that undermines their own history. Propaganda sure is powerful ain't it.
1314 to 1377
Yes, I know the Avignon Papacy started in 1309. Yes, I know that it was Philip IV that strongarmed the Church into accepting Clement V.
But here's where it gets complicated. Philip IV and Clement V both died in 1314 and from then on the power balance shifted. Pope John XXII sat for almost 20 years, while the monarchy went completely to shit.
Louis X only lasted two years and died. it's suspected that his wine was poisoned.
John I was born and then reigned for a total of five days.
Philip V lasted five years during which the Normans revolted and went on a series of angry murder sprees, probably directed by the church cuz Jews were the main target.
Charles IV reigned for six years, had even more revolts, and despite the pope BEING French and his guest, and both he and Philip V before him being ardent supporters of the crusades, he still got rejected to be Holy Roman Emperor.
Philip VI lasted for quite a while but accomplished nothing. The English crushed his navy at Sluys, his army at Crecy, and then the Black Death showed up and killed half the country.
IMO... John XXII ruled France, and his successors ruled over the ashes of France until Gregory X decided to just leave.
So during half of the Hundred Years War, France was 'ruled' by the papacy?
The monarchy of France was always 'shit', in that France had experienced an extreme devolution of power since the late 9th century. The monarch did not exercise complete control over the whole of France, but the Pope sure as hell did not, even though he resided in what is today France.
If the popes were ruling France, they sure as hell would not have left for the pittance that were the Papal States (in comparison), notwithstanding the chevauchees.
The irony is that the universal view is that the French were controlling the Avignon Papacy, not vice versa. That certainly seems to be more likely than your claims.
It comes down to a single question.
Who killed Louis X?
I believe it was John XXII.
I don't know that name. Is he one of the monarchs between 1314 and 1328 that no one cares about?
Basically conceding to my assertion that John XXII ruled France.
