@katherineortho Ew. This is why we need to bring back bullying, so people don't talk so retarded. My goodness.

what in the deranged world.....

Sharpe: Criminally underrated show

@DissidentFrau Hello catte. Goodly catte.

Cat. Say hello.

@katherineortho This is something that really weighs on my mind quite a bit, because it is a very common problem, we face- and it is really quite inflicted by our society. This just feels exactly like what happens between ecumenists and over-zealots as well. Both being fed by the same spirit.

@katherineortho That kind of sounds like a mirror to some of the ill-advised statements I hear from Orthodox guys. You have 'good reasons' to say that, just as these guys have 'good reasons' to say what they do. But neither instances are helpful, I don't believe.

Truly amazed how offended men get for providing the woman's perspective. We will never be able to get anywhere and fix the gender divide if this is what happens every time the Orthodox dating issue topic comes up. It always ends up in finger-pointing and hasty generalizations about "all women are covert feminists or ran through" or "there's a reason men do not want them", acting as if all women will always be beneath them without ever knowing the woman. I can speak for most of the Orthodox women I know. They are perfectly normal girls. So stop. News flash: this attitude is not going to help you find wives, guys. open.substack.com/pub/katherines…

@Jeff_Davis1808 As a matter of fact, I'm also related to Lee's wife through my British-English side too! I think that was through the Earl of Northumberland's line

@SirWSidneySmith You come from great stock!

John Brown was no heroic abolitionist but a bloodthirsty fanatic whose victims in the Pottawatomie massacre were not slaveholders at all—they were ordinary Kansas settlers who dared support the “pro-slavery” faction in a territory that had zero slaves. His gang hacked them to death in the night like common thugs, and to add grotesque irony to his Harpers Ferry fiasco, the very first man his raiders gunned down was Hayward Shepherd, a free Black baggage handler just doing his job. Brown’s supporters today romanticize this butcher as some righteous avenger, conveniently ignoring that his “crusade” slaughtered the very people he claimed to liberate while proving him a reckless murderer, not a liberator. Brown’s only real “significance” was as a deranged instrument of sectional agitation, radicalized by fire-eating Northern extremists in a Kansas that had no slaves to free in the first place. The man was widely regarded as mentally unhinged even by his contemporaries, and his Virginia raid was a suicidal farce with zero chance of sparking the slave uprising he hallucinated. It accomplished nothing except handing Southern propagandists a perfect martyr to wave around while exposing Brown as the unstable terrorist he was—yet his modern cheerleaders still pretend this failure was some masterstroke of moral clarity instead of the delusional flop it truly revealed itself to be. Virginia rejected South Carolina’s call for a Southern conference in March 1860, proving Brown’s raid had zero causal link to secession; Virginia only left the Union after Lincoln’s coercive call for troops to invade the South. Fire-eaters in the cotton states certainly milked Northern praise for Brown to stoke fears, but even Lincoln, Seward, and the Republican platform loudly denounced him as a criminal. Brown has always been pure propaganda fodder—from 1859 straight through to today—right down to that fabricated painting of him tenderly kissing a Black child on the way to the gallows, an event that never happened. His worshippers keep recycling the myth because the truth exposes their hero as a useless, murderous sideshow.

@Jeff_Davis1808 I might be incorrect about the label, but she is my cousin through my British-English side, and not my American side ironically

@Jeff_Davis1808 Quite so!

"Understand one thing: it is not good when we return the love of those who love us, yet hate those who hate us. We are not on the right path if we do this. We are the sons of light & love, the sons of God, His children. As such we must have His qualities & His attributes of love, peace, & kindness towards all." - Elder Thaddeus of Vitovnica

Yeah, this literally doesn't work. If a man literally thinks that you would care whether he lived or died, he would be madly in love with you. Maybe I'm just projecting my psychology onto all other men, but whatever

@YourCalvinist Baptists would be so epic if they weren't low church.

When you walk into an Independent Baptist Church in shorts while carrying an NIV and your wife is wearing pants

“Changing consumer habits” to blame for the decline of the second breakfast culture.

@gridboundStory @aidannonx I'm not going to enjoy the endless suffering inflicted on mankind

@SirWSidneySmith @aidannonx I mean we collectively have the option but everyone is a domesticated retard so it's not going to happen. Ergo, enjoy the decline baybee.

Peter Thiel talks about this

@gridboundStory @aidannonx Yeah, only issue is that it isn't an option. If we had the option, I'd get rid of a lot of tech! But it's not

Uh the people who invented and mastered firearms are still the dominant people in the world, and everyone else who took them up to use them against us has failed to do anything useful with them. If those people had had the option to "remove firearms from the world" instead of "adopting them" they would probably have done better against us.

Yeah, like maybe we could display our autism in a less embarrassing way, guys.

The English won the American war of independence. Composition of American forces (left) v British (right).

@SirKrispyiii @enjoyer_liberty I don't think in this particular case

@SirWSidneySmith @enjoyer_liberty Man = humans, not men specifically. That's out of context.

Men have no incentive to get married. Too much of a financial risk. Unconscionable contract. Con Inc’s response? “Shut up, just do it anyways.” You’re gonna have to do better than that if you actually want people to get married. Need institutional reform. And better women.
