Calling it merely "idea" is just pedantic. We all know what people mean when one mentions "antifa". Besides, they don't get arrested in their discords; they get arrested when they chuck bricks on the streets.
It's like being arrested as a satanist: I did NOT get arrested for being satanist, I got arrested for real crimes, like animal cruelty... or joining antifa, and chucking bricks.

Mate, what are you implying. That does not address anything I said.
I'll also mention here that my most controversial take I possess is my belief that Trump is doing the nation a solid and I am completely okay with his term so far. Not perfect, but I won't have it any other way.
So if you want to guess at my shitty ideology, just consider me the Trump Dicksucker. Still a more rational position than you, you sophist smelling ass.

Every ideology is an org if those are the criterion. No, an org is an organization, it can have an ideology, but merely having an ideology doesn't constitute org-ness. It's not pedantic, it's semantic.

Honestly I'm so used to the word semantic in the context of "semantic html" it didn't occur to me how silly that sounded.
Fair enough, but I really should write an essay about this some time and post it here, I really do think not discerning this can lead to falling for all sorts of trickery.

Not here specifically, I was here when the 4chan april fools that merged /mlp/ and /pol/ ended, figured I'd search it up again in a hankering for drawthread ponuts, temporarily unblocked duckduckgo on my /etc/hosts (I don't like using search engines and make it hard to use them on purpose so I use my bookmarks) and sure enough the site's still around.
I've voiced my complaints to the little extent that isn't just agreeing with the boilerplate elsewhere, but as far as /mlpol/ goes effecively yes.

See, this is the whole problem with what you're saying. It's all just speculation about how these powers could be theoretically used at some vague point in the future, not about how they're actually being used right now. You are either a shitlib trying to sow seeds of doubt as >>398733 suggests, or you're just a sourpuss looking for a reason to be cynical about what has realistically been the best presidential administration of any of our lifetimes. Either way, have fun being mad I guess.

Christianity in many other places is not like what you guys see in the US on daily bases, most Christians still consider jews as gentile and evil due to the fact that they were one of the main cause of his crucification. and they're not pro-faggotary or pro-feminists.

We literally just had a terror attack targeting Christians today. It is a real issue, and the administration responding to public outcry for it.
>>You're a terrorist if you don't like christkikes

That is not even close to what he said.
Your own words contradict your point, if he works for, Jews, how could he be targeting all non-Christians? That would make all Jews terrorists (which is debatable, tbh).

No, it quite literally still is:
>There are common recurrent motivations and indicia uniting this pattern of violent and terroristic activities under the umbrella of self-described “anti-fascism.” These movements portray foundational American principles (e.g., support for law enforcement and border control) as “fascist” to justify and encourage acts of violent revolution. This “anti-fascist” lie has become the organizing rallying cry used by domestic terrorists to wage a violent assault against democratic institutions, constitutional rights, and fundamental American liberties.
>Common threads animating this violent conduct include anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity; support for the overthrow of the United States Government; extremism on migration, race, and gender; and hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family, religion, and morality.
This policy is about clamping down on violent left-wing extremism, specifically groups that are anti-American, anti-Christian, and anti-Capitalist. There is not one mention in this entire document of Jews, anti-Semitism, Zionism or Israel. There is nothing in this document to suggest that Trump's policy towards antifa has anything to do with these subjects. You are still just speculating and connecting dots in your head.
Incidentally, this guy has some pretty good takes on this subject:

Cobbled together, which is pretty common these days given abrahamics fucking with / outright destroying documentation at times throughout history. So the "open source approach" is not only common, but comes second to wicca to what you're likely to start off with.

That's not really pagan then. Just general spirituality/superstition. Pagan faiths are continued practice of traditional religions.
>given abrahamics fucking with / outright destroying documentation at times throughout history
All religions adopted by powerful empires do this.
>wicca
Ew.
>They largely share canon
They share similar Genesis stories, but where they diverge is that the concept of God in Judaism, Christianity and Islam is wildly different, and as such has completely different moral and cultural implications.
To Jews, God is the spirit of their people. Their concept of God is actually pretty basic as far as ethnic religions go, similar to the countless extinct pagan ethnic religions that existed in the region, all of which had their own personal tribal idols who represented their people. One of the earliest depictions of Ywh describes him as "The Divine Warrior who led the Hebrew speaking people into battle". Jew believe that God made the world for them, and that all other races only exist to be conquered by them and be their servants, which compliments their egotistical and self-serving nature. Their concept of "morality" comes from seeing themselves as the chosen "stewards", which drives them to amass power and subvert institutions, which is also what informs their practices of semitism and loxism. This is why Jews believe that they are always in the right, because as far as they are concerned life revolves around them and it's their right and privilege to decide how the world is governed.
The Christian god is similar to the Jewish god in that the Christian God is anthropomorphic, but the similarities begin to waver there. The Christian concept of God actually has a lot of similarities to the Hellenistic concept of gods that was prominent in the Roman empire in the time of Jesus. The idea of a god who takes on mortal form and has a mortal demigod son who incarnates and represents that God, and furthermore ascends to an even greater state of being upon death, was a concept not unfamiliar to Romans, which is part of the reason why the Christian Trinity was readily adopted by the Roman empire. The Christian God is uniquely anthropocentric in this regard. Whereas the Jewish concept of god is the patron of their people, the Christian god is concerned with all of mankind. Christian morality is based on the idea that humans are made in the image of God, and therefore it is important to treat other humans beings with respect and dignity, because doing so is honoring the glory of God's creation.
The Muslim God differs quite a bit in this aspect: the Muslim God is not anthropomorphic at all, and mankind is not made in God's image to Muslims. The Islamic god is more similar to the concept of God in Zoroastrianism, the religion of the Persian Empire. To Muslims, God is a formless, genderless, limitless entity of incalculable cosmic power. Muslims find the idea of an infinity powerful entity taking on mortal form to be preposterous, because something in the form of a human could never truly be God to them, and so Muslims reject the Trinity outright. The idea of God as an infinitely mighty and fearsome entity is the basis of Islam, because Muslims worship the concept of pure power, and the word "Muslim" means "one who submits" to God's power. Like in Zoroastrianism, Muslims believe that God created this world with rules, and that all humans are born in submission to said rules; deviating from those rules is betrayal of God, and is therefore sinful. Muslims differ from Christians in that regard, since unlike Christians who initiate new members via baptism with the knowledge that only a few will be saved, Muslims see their ideology as the natural state of being for all creatures and that in the end all life must be dominated by Islam; this informs their propensity for violence and zealotry, moreso than the other two religion.
So, even though these three religions share some common mythos, the ways in which they deviate are even more important because those aspects dictate their concepts of God and moral outlook. It's not immediately obvious because these traits are actually the unwritten syncretic traits they shared with the dominant religions in the societies they were founded in: ancient Canaanite paganism (Jews), Roman Hellenism (Christianity), and Persian Zoroastrian (Islam).
>You familiar with Linux From Scratch? Imagine those other religions are other distros of Linux. That.
Okay, but why is that important?
>Cobbled together
That's not really pagan then. Just general spirituality/superstition. Pagan faiths are continued practice of traditional religions.
>given abrahamics fucking with / outright destroying documentation at times throughout history
All religions adopted by powerful empires do this.
>wicca
Ew.
>They largely share canon
They share similar Genesis stories, but where they diverge is that the concept of God in Judaism, Christianity and Islam is wildly different, and as such has completely different moral and cultural implications.
To Jews, God is the spirit of their people. Their concept of God is actually pretty basic as far as ethnic religions go, similar to the countless extinct pagan ethnic religions that existed in the region, all of which had their own personal tribal idols who represented their people. One of the earliest depictions of Ywh describes him as "The Divine Warrior who led the Hebrew speaking people into battle". Jew believe that God made the world for them, and that all other races only exist to be conquered by them and be their servants, which compliments their egotistical and self-serving nature. Their concept of "morality" comes from seeing themselves as the chosen "stewards", which drives them to amass power and subvert institutions, which is also what informs their practices of semitism and loxism. This is why Jews believe that they are always in the right, because as far as they are concerned life revolves around them and it's their right and privilege to decide how the world is governed.
The Christian god is similar to the Jewish god in that the Christian God is anthropomorphic, but the similarities begin to waver there. The Christian concept of God actually has a lot of similarities to the Hellenistic concept of gods that was prominent in the Roman empire in the time of Jesus. The idea of a god who takes on mortal form and has a mortal demigod son who incarnates and represents that God, and furthermore ascends to an even greater state of being upon death, was a concept not unfamiliar to Romans, which is part of the reason why the Christian Trinity was readily adopted by the Roman empire. The Christian God is uniquely anthropocentric in this regard. Whereas the Jewish concept of god is the patron of their people, the Christian god is concerned with all of mankind. Christian morality is based on the idea that humans are made in the image of God, and therefore it is important to treat other humans beings with respect and dignity, because doing so is honoring the glory of God's creation.
The Muslim God differs quite a bit in this aspect: the Muslim God is not anthropomorphic at all, and mankind is not made in God's image to Muslims. The Islamic god is more similar to the concept of God in Zoroastrianism, the religion of the Persian Empire. To Muslims, God is a formless, genderless, limitless entity of incalculable cosmic power.

>anime-ist
>german that somehow doesn't know about german paganism and animism
rootlessness
>so just like wiccans.
Wiccan is a weird british sex cult thing that resurged due to tiktok and tumblr, but yeah they have a tendency to lose people to eclecticism about as fast as they can gain, since they tried to pitch themselves as synonymous with witchcraft itself. Pretty much kept alive by good SEO, which is facinating tbh.
It's sorta like when search engines market themselves as private, yet each one faster than the last betrays their userbase with the same tactics as the last, not only failing to meet the market, but annihilating it. The users eventually learn that any convenience a universal web index might have had is outweighed by the unprivateness inherent to search engines. Wicca did the same: now no one will remain in their sect because they anihilated the concept of a sect by trying to be universal.

Maybe. I've been doing various practices but haven't quite dug into the full suite that a lot of them come from, often because I struggle to find them.
>All religions adopted by powerful empires do this.
Oh yeah I don't blame them too much, that's how geopolitics goes sometimes.
>Ew
yeah
>[explaination of the differences of various abrahamic religions]
I'm saving that, thank you for bringing that together.

>btw sorry, i was mean earlier
Ah no worries. Admittedly I've been a bit overly abrasive too, so likewise.
>some funny thing happening with my opperators
Oh weird, maybe an ISP thing?

Yeah, I just get an autism fixation about this topic whenever I hear an uninformed person say "Abrahamics are all the same". It ignores their separate cultural roots, virtue ethics, moral framework, and subtle-but-significant syncretic traits with earlier religions such as Zoroastrianism and Hellenism from the Persian and Roman empires. Just because the books are similar doesn't mean the religions behind them are, because their ancient cultural contexts inform their definition of what "God" even is, and a separate definition of God means a separate outlook on life itself.

As much as I enjoyed learning some things about the big 3 religions...
