@Tysenberg Also the Chinese love rule breaking anyway, as long as you don't get caught they say you're stupid not to cheat.

“Break any rule you want, just make sure you’re sufficiently competent in the high-stakes game you choose to play and win no matter what” is unironically a far more useful ethos for success over the next two decades than “Sit in crassroom and study ancestor hard mathematic”

American TV promotes "anti-hero" degenerates who cook meth. Chinese TV teaches nuclear physics while showing audiences how their fore-fathers built an atom bomb.

@MingoTango @smashbaals You mean to tell me that believing the emperor was literally divine had nothing to do with their expansionist tendencies? This isn't even "divine right to rule" (which was tempered by just war theory and the papacy) they actually thought he was a direct descendant of the sun god.

@spuppet01 @smashbaals The anti-war campaign in WW2 was led by Japanese Buddhists so Christianity is superfluous for that purpose. Anyway, I doubt Christianity would have stopped their penchant for self-sacrifice or rebellion against the ‘empire’

Emperor Hirohito of Japan offered General MacArthur to make Japan a Christian nation.
MacArthur turned him down.
Imagine what could’ve been.

@MingoTango @smashbaals Their "native religion" lead them to a pointless and destructive conflict that ended with them getting nuked because they wouldn't surrender.

@smashbaals Japan is better off with its native religion, which is inscribed on their very land. They don’t need yet another foreign religion

Evangelicals are partly to blame for the collapse of Middle Eastern Christianity.
They are the biggest supporter of wars which destroy Christians.
But it goes way deeper than that.
They view Christians like Assyrians in Iraq as a pawn to expand their footprint as "authentic" Christians.
They can be so brazen that they even set up local organizations & try to convert *Apostolic Christians* to *their* brand of American Christianity.
Imagine destroying an Apostolic, Aramaic speaking Christian community which is 2000 years old.
Then setting up an NGO to convert them to Megachurch Protestantism through bribery & handouts.
Isn't that insane?

“The reason you are frustrated with marriage is because you aren’t seeing it for what it really is: which is something akin to the wheel of pain in Conan the barbarian but instead of turning into a 1980s bodybuilder you get fatter and older every day. That’s why you get married.”
Will Knowland@beherleader
Many men misunderstand what marriage is for. They treat it as a lifestyle upgrade instead of a vocation ordered to definite goods. They think marriage exists to meet their needs (comfort, sex, admiration, peace, etc.). In reality, marriage binds a man to give himself. To build a stable domestic society and actively help his wife and children flourish.
