@CSW_Hoosier People think of Rome as super enlightened and advanced when the reality is they used violence to enslave and use said slaves to build all their ancient wonders. Christians outlawing slavery laid the foundation for actual advancement in technology

People are clueless about our history because it’s been revised to paint Christianity in the worst possible light, when it was specifically the Church that preserved all the great ancient texts that illuminate the histories for us. Why did the Dark Age happen? Not because of Christianity, but because of Islam. Aside from Constantinople, all the centers of Christian learning in the East were conquered by the Caliphate. And in particular, Egypt was the greatest loss, for two reasons: 1) the catechetical school at Alexandria was a brilliant light of Christendom for the 6 centuries prior to Islamic conquest, and 2) most importantly, the production and importation of paper (made from papyrus) to Europe ceased overnight, and Europe had to resort to enormously expensive parchment for its writing mode — and thus reading and writing became relegated to the wealthy nobility and to the clergy. No one else could afford the material necessary. Couple that with the next thousand+ years of Islamic raiders plundering the coasts of southern Europe for Christian slaves, leading to most unfortified coastal areas to be abandoned for centuries, and you have a recipe for Christian Europe to be forced to draw in upon itself. This coincided with the so-called Islamic Golden Age, which occurred specifically because Islam violently conquered Christian lands and stole their knowledge for themselves. The Christian West during this period nearly collapsed altogether, but it was their unifying Christian faith that helped them band together to defeat the pagan Germans in Saxony and Bavaria, the pagan Vikings raiding and conquering the British coasts, and Islamic rule in Iberia, southern France, Sicily, and southern Italy. People like to treat “science” and “learning” as these linear progressions, but in reality the studies of the sciences, and in particular philosophy, had really begun to decline during the period leading up to the fall of Rome in 476. This era was marked by increasing decadence and a lack of moral and social cohesion in the empire, and as society decayed so too did the quality of its academic institutions and scholastic fervor. Some people try to blame this decay on Christianity, but in reality Christianity was a response to — not the cause of — this societal decay. This same pattern is playing out today. The moral and societal decay of the modern secular West is leading the younger generations to reject modernity and embrace faith, and in particular the more traditional and liturgical faiths are surging with young adult converts. History doesn’t repeat itself but it does rhyme.

@CTLake14Patriot The rest of the week says it'll be back in the 60s and raining just like normal, relax

Skies have been clear, no clouds, blue sky, yet, steaming hot and humid. Years ago, we had beautiful spring weather from May- August. With about 2-3 weeks of humidity in August. Then beautiful Indian summer Fall. Now we have no Springtime. It’s like SC weather.

@pnshdvermonster Yah and it sucks

Massachusetts has such a unique and different culture from the rest of New England that it seems foreign. I realize that makes no sense to someone who isn't from New England but it's true.

@edgaralandough Have children while married

I’m 32 now please give me advice if you’re older than me. I don’t care where you are from. Life advice, just one.

@Gavin_McInnes A wise man once said leftism is the politics of bitterness and resentment. Ever since I heard it said I see it all the time

These dumb cunts don’t know a thing about this healthcare CEO. He could have been working around the clock to fix the things they’re complaining about. They don’t care. They hate him because he was a CEO. Why? Should companies not have CEOs?

@writeinfreedom Impressive

Only 1 of my "followers" is a verifiable person, and I've specifically blocked a bunch of Elon bots to maintain only this list of anonymous people who are apparently still too afraid to be some version of themselves on Twitter. Your concept of celebrity is broken.

@writeinfreedom @esaagar Nice. I have 74 followers and you have 60 and your literal professional requires an audience

My birth certificate says Matthew Evan Berman and my identity isn't a secret just because you haven't heard of me until now. My profile has a link to a website, that website is owned by my company, and you can look up "Mattske" if you want via Google or Grok and they will tell you some part of who I am. I'm not an anon. And I am the mother fuckin' ruler.

BLITZED. Another podcast Dad Book sensation

@writeinfreedom @esaagar Im sure your birth certificate says Mattske the Ruler on it too

@BasedTunaCan @esaagar Your parents didn't name you Based Tuna Can I'm fairly certain of it and I didn't even need to use any of my journalistic expertise.

@SororAdriana @JeebusTrump Random quotes from a journal or a speech Jefferson made mean what exactly? Other than nothing?

@JeebusTrump My thoughts exactly on that. Christian Nationalism is anathematic to the founding principles of religious freedom and liberty—freedom of all religions, and freedom from religion, too—and the separation of Church and State, that the Founding Fathers enshrined in our Constitution.

“Neither Pagan nor Mohammedan nor Jew ought to be excluded from the civil rights of the Commonwealth because of his religion.” — Thomas Jefferson, 1776

@writeinfreedom @esaagar Damn, I hope my wife and kids dont figure out Im not real

@BasedTunaCan @esaagar Your account has no demonstrably verifiable attributes, and a silly name. I didn't say you're a bot, I said a fake account, meaning not representative of a real person. You could be Saagar for all we know.

@Mollyploofkins Makes comment 200 years ago in an attempt to calm relations with Muslim nation kidnapping and enslaving pur soldiers over religion. Flash forward Molly thinks shes smart now

“The Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.” - John Adams, 1797 Treaty of Tripoli

@PassalacquaEtna @esaagar My grandfather was wounded in Metz France during the French campaign as well

@BasedTunaCan @esaagar I went on a neat battlefield tour covering the initial invasion of France. American tour guide’s grandfather fought on the German side in the campaign and mentioned the drug use. Other grandfather fought on the US side. Was quite interesting.

As a massive Dad Book fan I think this is on the publishers and the authors: I have personally sold thousands of dad books via recommendations Yet when publishing day comes the publisher/author would rather do CBS This Morning than the podcast circuit

@writeinfreedom @esaagar The drug is called Pervitin or something Iike that. Book cover was a greenish yellow color, the soft cover I got. Why would you assume Im a bot? And I didnt buy it because of him. I had heard about it and Saagar was one of a few who had brought it up.

@esaagar LOL fake accounts claiming to have bought books based on your recommendation is crazy.

@esaagar I bought that book about the drugs the Germans used during ww2 because you and others discussed it on podcasts

I fundamentally just do not think this is true. Real word example: SC Gwynne's Empire of the Summer moon became a national bestseller after he appeared on Joe Rogan's show years after publication. Good author podcasts always lead to a huge book spike x.com/KevinAdah/stat…

@RonaldH72994014 @BarbMcQuade @AzSomebody Whats Trump got to do with any of this? Trumps moral faults are completely in line with countless biblical Kings in the OT. What r u talking about?

Daily Confession: As God is my witness Donald Trump is a Liar and a Hypocrite. A Charlatan and a Pedophile. To all the Evangelicals and Fake Ass Christians that come at me? I'm ready. 3 WOODEN CROSSES My Great Grandpa JC Staats rode a horse then with buggy preaching the Gospel in the late 1800's across Virginia and West Virginia. My Grandpa RC Staats drove a Big Rig named Blue from the 1950's thru the Eighties spreading the Gospel across 48 States. My Uncle JC Staats hitchhiked across America for 10 years after returning from Vietnam whilst spreading the Gospel but died at the age of 48. He was the last in line of the Staats men and I was the only Grandson. If he were alive he would agree with my view that it's the Bastardization of the Christian Faith in plain view.

A bedrock principle of America’s founding was religious freedom, not a national religion. Theocracy is the stuff of ISIS. nytimes.com/2026/05/17/us/…

@TristenPalori Winston Churchill wrote about this and is why he laid bricks and this sort of thing when he didnt have to.

Can someone explain to me why people do cosmetic yard work for 4+ hours every weekend? Wait, so the 10 seconds you see it when you leave/enter your home makes it all worth it? I just can’t think of a worse way to spend my time.

@athenaeumbc Women have captured all of our institutions. How is this surprising to anyone?

The Guardian has just published its "100 best novels of all time" list — these are the top 12. Toni Morrison's Beloved is in 2nd. Dostoevsky does not make the top 25... What do you think?

@21WIRE @goddek I don't believe a word of what you say. This comment oozes contempt and could only be penned by an extremely arrogant asshole

We attended both rallies in London today - the Palestinian 78th Anniversary of the Nakba, and then Tommy Robinson’s “Unite the Kingdom”. Size of the crowds were comparable although slightly more at the Palestinian march (Tommy’s claims of ‘millions’ likely a chemically-induced hallucination), with the Palestinian event having very clear purpose, secular & political message: stop Israel’s ongoing massacres & land theft, and liberate Palestinians living under illegal Israeli occupation. Intelligent crowd, high level of geopolitical awareness. By contrast, the Tommy event was pitched as a radical ‘Christian’ Nationalist (although confusion over English or British nationalism) crusader rally, lots of people carrying large crosses, amid anti-Muslim ranting, and a sea of Israel flags, flanked by Iranian Pahlavi royalist flag and banners demanding more war and regime in Iran. Other thing: no exaggeration that at least half the attendees were either intoxicated if not completely hammered. Best way to describe it was Mosley in Magaluf. A weird and very low vibrational atmosphere. We’ll release a detailed video report early this week at @ukcolumn

@KnightsTempOrg Ive seen some aerial photos and I find that hard to believe

🚨REALITY CHECK TIME No Tommy, despite spending over $1 MILLION on this charade where Israel and Iran flags compete with Union Jacks the REAL numbers are less than 70,000

@AuronMacintyre @shortmagsmle Oh it is and its an absolute revelation once you realize it

@shortmagsmle Gym without headphones is simply not an option

How it feels to rest between sets on the bench without earbuds in
