Im 32. This was common knowledge my whole life.
If you've ever seen the movie Gladiator, the orginal, movies like that would have a scene implying some sort of relationship like that.
Ancient Greek and Rome, it's a known thing. Is this like a zoomer thing not knowing this?
I'm going out on a limb and saying you're a Norm Macdonald fan with that quisling word choice haha
Get bent fed
Pedophilia was common and accepted in Rome so degeneracy would not have been the issue.
By the way, in the case someone thinks I'm saying "Hey it was accepted back then, so it's normal" like they do for homosexuality being common in Rome, know that I'm just stating a fact, and it's also a fact that homosexuality and pedophilia and all sexual immorality is as much as an affront to God whether it's 400 BC or 2024 AD
The mods are pretty much discouraged it seems and aren't banning people from what I can tell. Never thought I'd see the day.
I know, it's insane, but whatcha gonna do.
His "research" was other redditors saying the Vice President only has the amount of power that the President gives them btw.
I think it's what u/Mpetey123 said and also that he is non-de-script enough that he can stand in for everything they project onto white, straight, male Christians.
He's fairly relevant, he looks like a protestant sort of normal guy and they hate normalcy and all it represents, so in a way, it's his very milquetoast-ness that acts like a beacon for them to project everything they hate about Christianity on to.
I think the Democrat politicians, to the degree they're in line with the leftist beliefs are against Israel being for Jews because of the Biblical implications and the democrats are about subverting the Bible and going against that.
They donate and support Israel because it would be political suicide not to. Since they are an official ally ever since WW2 gave them the nation, the democrats continue as they have to, because if they suddenly said "Israel is the enemy" like Iran does, suddenly the churches in America would wake up because the left would have to explain why or otherwise justify to the nation why Israel is no longer an ally, and the left doesn't want that happening. So they pay whatever they have to pay for the purposes of maintaining the status quo. But in reality, they don't like Israel and Orthodox Jews, which is why they secretly help out Islamic nations hell bent on Israel's destruction.
Just look at Obama. He did an "apology tour" where he went to every nation in the middle east to apologize about "America's evil ways"...every nation in the middle east....except Israel. That shows how they really feel.
I think they do, and no both parties don't fall over Israel. The atheistic Jews are often anti-Israel bizarrely and will be sympathetic to palestine.
The orthodox Jews recogonize Israel as important in terms of the Bible, the old testament in their case and actually have strong beliefs.
I see plenty of anti-Israel, pro palestenian secular Jews because they're like the self hating whites equivalent of Jews. Their religion is first and foremost the woke religion instead of Judaism so Israel doesn't mean anything to them and if the woke religion is all about Palestine at the moment, then so are they.
EDIT: I see you mean both political parties are about Israel.
I also disagree with that. The left gives lip service to Israel because they still remain an official ally and they're not prepared for the crap-storm that would happen if they went full mask off on their feelings about Israel and officially became an enemy, but secretly they do everything to harm Israel, such as fund Hamas, and leave the weapons in Afghanistan. This is why Kamala and her campaign couldn't ever give a clear concise answer and kept trying to act like they support both.
Only the Conservatives, true Conservatives, typically Christians actually support Israel and are sincere in their support.
The reason I make that caveat that is all the conservative presidents going back way back to like Regan even I think, did the same thing the leftists did, which was shrink Israels land and giving more and more to "Palestine" in the name of "compromise".
Trump's the first one to actually recognize Jerusalem as Israels capital.
The orthodox Jews broke heavily for Trump at least according to boots on the ground interviews of what the temperature of the Jewish community was.
The secular leftist atheist Jews was probably closer to the same as usual, but I imagine even that demographic gained some amount of ground sunce it seems all the demographics pretty much did.
That sounds awful. I don't know if it's that way in America because I'm basically a misanthropic hermit anymore. I don't have any social connections other than my parents...literally. I don't even connect with people or have social connections online, because I've just got anxiety about connecting with people. I interact with posts and comments on this site, but that's the extent of it. I don't go deeper with people, but I don't want to either...it's just how I am at least right now.
If that's the feel of Australia right now, that is ridiculously retarded and I'm sorry you're surrounded by retards.
Very interesting take
Agreed and fascinating
I wasnt referring to specific videos that I know, but just the rare times you can find some old video whether youve seen it before or not and realize a youtube video can be that old. It doesnt feel like a youtube video should be able to be older than 9 years or something in my mind.
Agreed about the gaming landscape thing.
Every time I hear some soy filled typical gen z type youtuber talk about how this "Wii game was their childhood game", I die a little inside.
Old youtube gaming culture was amazing.
Even though my first console was a genesis, the youtube gaming "scene" up until around 2012 or so gave me so much gaming history and knowledge and I still discover and emulate older gems from before I was born, in large part because of youtube being that way back then.
ends justifying the means is never correct morally.
If everyone followed the Bible "Don't do your good deeds among men where everyone can see, but do it where your right hand not knowing what your left hand is doing, knowing that your Father sees it" [highly paraphrasing multiple teachings], the world would be a much better place.
So much so that there'd be far less people suffering.
My grandpa did all sorts of things that nobody except my grandma knew about. Same with my dad. That's the Christian way.
The fact that we feel like pharissee like highly seen good deeds are needed because of how crappy things are is an indictment on how uncharitable the world is and how secular it's become.
I'd also argue it does harm because people see those videos and vicariously feel like a good person not helping them.
The proper way to highlight is to show how bad a certain country or village is and then show how you can help. Then others can participate.
Instead, one guy gets all the praise and he is glorified instead of God (I will not share my glory with another) Isaiah 42:8
and others get the dopamine hit of feeling like good people as they watch it so they themselves don't go out and help or give.
The problem should be highlighted publicly, but the helpers should remain basically workers who are doing it for God's glory and if they're seen or not seen, it doesn't impact them because that's not what they're doing it for and in that situation the Father is glorified because we can tell people who are doing something for genuine reasons of God's love vs someone who's doing something for themselves.
Japan's too weird for me to care about their culture trading weirdness A for weirdness B
I never got people's love for Japan.
In my opinion, Japan is a cringe producing factory. I don't know how people watch anime without dying of cringe.
"Dangerous like Detroit!"
[Wooo!]
"Impoverished like Detroit!"
[Wooo!]
Corrupt like Detroit!
[Wooo!]
It's funny, as much as they're about being "tolerant" and "open" about sex being "complex and fluid", they're ironically steel-mannned every old person into being the opposite sex by their ludicrous definitions on why "someone who's producing estrogen is now a woman, and someone producing testosterone is now a man".
By their definition, they're now saying the universal thing that happens to men wherein when they get old, they stop producing as much testosterone, and what happens to women when they get old wherein they stop producing estrogen, that old woman is now a man, and that old man is now a woman, by their logic.
And fat men, because fat creates estrogen, are all women.
Hilariously by their absurd definition of what makes a "transgender' a man or a woman, they've now changed the sex of vast swaths of the entire history of people on this planet, to fit their demographic that is a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a percent.
Good, seriously good.
If their reaction is the tipping point, the straw that breaks the camel's back for just one leftist man, or woman who decides they're fed up with the lefts negativity....then them screeching like harpies is music to my ears.
Something happened, and I think it was the internet where people didn't realize that the stuff that was being promoted as "funny" was probably being made popular by literal 6th graders. Like if you saw them in person, you'd go, what retarded 6th grade humor, but because everyone's anonymous on the internet, humor devolved into whoever spent the most time on it and normies think that that's comedy now because "the crowds can't be wrong".
In the past, even non-funny people never were intentionally cringe like this stuff. Go look at talk shows from the 90s or whatever.
I think the stuff that people think is funny and is "modern culture" if they could look through the monitor screens and see the type of person who actually finds this stuff legitimately funny/is creating this stuff and isn't just going along with the 99% of the population, they'd just about die from second-hand embarrassment.
How can it be argued that the actors of ancient times were simultaneously the lowest rungs of society while also being part of the pedophile elite?
