I’m forming a study group in Lisbon, Portugal.
If you’re interested in discussing philosophy, politics and culture, feel free to send me a private message.
The aim is to encourage sharing ideas, reading together, and exchanging books.

Materialmente falando, a história do Brasil começa quando o rei lavrador e poeta Dom Dinis I de Portugal manda plantar o Pinhal de Leiria, que seria mais tarde usado para construir a frota portuguesa.
Fernando Pessoa fala sobre isso.

Every day the range of my mental model of "medieval times" grows smaller. "11th century? That's a little late, isn't it?" I have no idea what I even consider medieval anymore

Catholics will say “I’ve literally never, ever, ever, in my entire life ever, felt the presence of God as much as I have with the Orthodox Christians.”
And then continue to be Catholic 😭

In June 2025, Mel Gibson — director of The Passion of the Christ — made a pilgrimage to the Hilandar Monastery on Mount Athos, Greece, ahead of filming his sequel The Resurrection of Christ. He spent several days with the monks in prayer, silence, and daily liturgical services. He told the monks: “I have never felt such a strong connection to God anywhere else as here.” The quote was reported by Ekathimerini, Greece’s leading newspaper, and multiple Greek outlets.

@Bl00d3clypse @ZealousSeraphim The hate anime industry has for Buddhism is historical dude
English
@icarovdl @ZealousSeraphim Anime industry is actually really diverse in thoughts and messages, you just watching the wrong content
English
They come from a Shinto and Buddhist worldview that agrees with Christianity on many things morally

Anime is inherently right wing and Christian. Do you agree?

@quinteotio @DionysianAgent Truth nuke.
Though Alexander fulfilled some prophecies too
English
@DionysianAgent Jesus fulfilled hundreds of prophecies that were written before Alexander was born.
English
Alexander literally fits the description of the "jewish messiah" perfectly - he is the divine child who turned into a warlord prophet that unified the entire middle east and southern europe - he goes above and beyond the dreams of the prophecies of israel
the only issue is... he wasn't jewish
that's why they did everything to replace him, discredit it
- they wrote the exodus during hellenistic times to smear Egypt and Alexandria
- they introduce jesus afterwards as a usurper who copies the template of Dionysus and degrades it into a lower form
- the try to hide the egyptian myths and hellenistic myths
- they use christianity as a trojan horse to invade the intellectual spheres of europe
- they get europeans to burn their ancient philosophical texts and myths, Alexander and hellenism becomes heresy and a buried past, israel becomes "the origin of the west"
- later when the truth is uncovered they continue their smear campaigns
- suddenly Alexander is painted as having been a homosexual and they claim his close friends and generals were "male lovers" even though Alexander had multiple wives
- they even spent more time in the Netflix adaptation of Alexander trying to convince the audience that Alexander was gay than they did actually talking about his wives or his life
it's all just pathetic envy and jealousy and neurotic weak minded denial of THE TRUTH
thermo@DionysianAgent
Jesus was a psyop that was invented to plagiarize and cover up the true divine mystery of the west and it’s origins the myth of Dionysus the evidence is overwhelming once you study the myth of Dionysus and how jesus in character is a total and complete plagiarism of him put in a jewish setting and mythos instead once you understand that even Alexander was deeply intwined with the myth of Dionysus as well, with his mother having been a literal priestess of Dionysus who dedicated his birth to the mystery, and that Alexander filled the archetype very well and that Alexander unified all of the southern and middle eastern regions into the cultural synthesis and intellectual powerhouse of Hellenism, which was the literal seed and forefather of western civilization well then it becomes even more obvious the facts are irrefutable Christianity and Abrahamism is a plague and stain on western civilization that plagiarized it’s greatest myths and tried to replace Alexander and Hellenism with Jesus and Israel

@collectortreas1 @TonyStarksPA Why do you think they didn't want him? Is him too based for the series?
English
@TonyStarksPA Exactly. To me their actions can't beat the allegations. They wanted to delete him.

It must not be understated how radically Jordan Peterson (a Jungian) shifted the landscape of North American dialogue. As brilliant as Jonathan is, his public reception was conditioned by the Peterson paradigm shift.

🧵“Sine mē loquī” — Augustine and my desire to quit Latin.
I started studying Latin in 2012, when I entered the seminary. I fell so in love with the language that I ended up dedicating almost all my study time and free time to it.

@HarrierMagnus Does this mean you accept St. John Chrysostom's other writings on the Jews too? Or are you just cherry-picking.
English
People calling Pope Leo a communist is just yet another reminder for me that Saint John Chrysostom transcendes ages.
Nobody who thinks Leo is a communist could withstand hearing Chrysostom talk about the poor and the rich. He's hard for ME to read, because he chastises me.

@Athanasius_45 @dominbydigdug A lot of good extra stuff on Euripedes plays
English
@dominbydigdug The men of king Nauplios build a lighthouse to lure the Greeks returning from Troy onto the rocks of Euboea for killing his son Palamedes (but that's not in the Odyssey).

@yFactr @victoria_alaska Stuff on the frontier. The empire is mostly benevolent and competent, but space is big, and the empire doesn't have the resources to send a cruiser to deal with every two-bit gangster.

galactic empire trope except it’s actually just a reasonably well governed constitutional monarchy with a pretty high degree of social/economic freedom and no ongoing military campaigns or anything

@enclave1775 @earmufffluff @seethroughit2 Truth is, it's not bad but today nobody will be able to defend ethnotationalism for whites, just for everybody else
English
@earmufffluff @seethroughit2 I have lol, nowhere does it say ethnonationalism is bad. The closest you can get is a condemnation of ethnophyletism, which is not what ethnonationalism is.
English
BASED Diverse Russian Orthodox Church
"We are in Riverside County, about 3 million people. I said the ethnic diversity there should be exactly represented in our parish if the church is for everyone and we want everyone which means in my county that's 57% Hispanic, 11% African-American, about 30% Anglo. I said that's what it should be"

@w3alex0 @4vataruniverse She went through the whole movie making moral arguments, it would be hypocritical if the writers made her do it
