>Pinterest censors Live Action by labeling its pro-life content as ‘porn’
>According to documentation provided by an insider at Pinterest, the social media company has actively chosen to block the content of Live Action, which has the largest online following in the pro-life movement, with over 3.3 million followers. The video an undercover investigation conducted by Project Veritas, a watchdog group founded and run by James O’Keefe, shown below, features an anonymous whistleblower who is an employee of Pinterest, claiming to have discovered inside communications confirming that a top official at Pinterest intentionally added LiveAction.org to the blocked list of pornography websites in February of 2019. What this means is that when Pinterest users attempted to create pins linking to any content from LiveAction.org, they were prevented from doing so.
>Live Action employees put the claim to the test and found that they, too, were unable to create a pin linking to LiveAction.org. Employees were, however, able to create pins using domains of other pro-life groups, as well as pro-abortion sites like Planned Parenthood. As of Sunday evening, Pinterest was not allowing users to create pins that link to Live Action’s website. Only on Monday, after Project Veritas reached out to Pinterest letting them know of the whistleblower’s claims and asking for comment, were pins able to link to LiveAction.org.
>Then, as of Tuesday morning around 4:39 a.m. EST, Pinterest suddenly and inexplicably permanently suspended Live Action’s account.

It makes sense if you analyze it. For instance leftists believe that anyone with anti-gay views must be a closet homosexual. They believe this because the left is made up of self-hating miserable people who assume that everyone thinks the way they do. So, it would follow that leftists all secretly masturbate to the things they profess to hate in public. We've seen examples of it already. Feminist women all secretly harbor rape fantasies and cheat on their cuck boyfriends with men who boss them around. Faggots all secretly wish they could be normal, functional men with wives and families, so they perform the whole charade of getting fake married to each other and adopting children.
So, why wouldn't it make sense that womyn who claim to love abortion secretly sit around in their dingy cat-filled apartments, schlicking it to the March for Life Facebook page?

I think you are both missing the point when you ID the adversary as simple leftist thinking.
The policies of these companies are pure (((cultural marxism))) against Western Christian Culture. First they deployed a tactic of criticism and even ridicule against our traditional values, they call it "deconstruction", and now, the next step is to force (((their))) values on the degenerate and demoralized goy.
These actions are not random or a reaction to certain events, but a planned strategy to demolish the West.

Different person from the one you are thinking of, but the original discussions prompted original research. Not to be confused with christcuck "research", which amounts to listening to whatever their rabbis/priests tell them.
Shhhh, it's okay, Schlomo. Just think that you invented the West. Ignore the entire international banking scheme being propped up by christcucked monarchs who made usury deals with court jews.

If it was their intent to make something to aid their efforts, they should have tried a bit harder. I would go into it more, but that would derail this thread.

Let's provide some summaries and literary citations that indicate that the Romans hated christcucks BEFORE they destroyed everything.
Some excerpts about St. Antony:
"[After the seductions of Satan, who had taken the form of a beautiful woman had been thwarted by St. Antony], Satan gnashed his teeth with fury; but he wasn't done yet. He decided to send his trump card: an apparition in the form of a young black boy who prostrated himself at Antony's feet. As he lay there, the demon announced that he was the 'friend of fornication', and bragged about how many chaste souls he had led astray..."
- "Life of Antony", 5-6
*Note in the work ascribed above, it is also mentioned that Antony never washes, and never changes his shirt.
The great Roman neurologist, Galden, often insulted christians and the like, commonly expressing the stubbornness of his colleagues by stating, "one might more easily teach novelties to the followers of Moses and Christ."
- Galen, "De Pulsuum Differentiis", III, 3, quoted from Walzern's 1949 "Galen on Jews and Christians"
An additional excerpt from the above-ascribed work of Galen:
"[Galen] disparaged physicians who offered views on the body without demonstration to back up their assertions, saying that to listen to them was 'as if one had come into the school of Moses and Christ [and heard] talk of undemonstrated laws... It is [Moses's] method in his books... to write without offering proofs, saying `God commanded, God spake.`"
Another Greek intellectual, Celsus, countered the christcucked movement that was gaining traction in 170 A.D. He expressed great worry over the popularity of this proto-jewish cult amongst the fringe groups of Rome. He argued that a Roman soldier had gotten Mary pregnant, while the Creation was "absurd". He called the idea of the Resurrection "revolting" and "the hope of worms". This is a brief summarization of his extensive, vitriolic attack on christcucks in "Contra Celsum".

On a related note to the very brief summaries of Celsus, he also was one of many Roman philosophers who prescribed to atomic theory, which he argued did away with the myth of Creation altogether.
To go about understanding the arguments against christcucks today, we should first look to the past. Instead of directly criticizing christcucks' beliefs, Celsus *also* identified many of the same common arguments made about them today. Celsus wrote, "Their injunctions are like this. Let no one educated, no one wise, no one sensible draw near. For these abilities are thought by us to be evils... [Christians] are only able to convince the foolish, dishonourable, and stupid, and only slaves, women, and little children."
In fact, Celsus noted that Christians often called out to children amongst other gullible parties in Rome, claiming "that they alone... know the right way to live, and if the children would believe them, they would become happy." Celsus wrote further on the subject of christcucks' ignorance, "[Christians] do not want to give or to receive a reason for what they believe, and use such expressions as 'Do not ask questions, just believe' and 'They faithw ill save thee.'"
Even Origen, Celsus's greatest intellectual rival in Rome, stated "the stupidity of some Christians is heavier than the sand of the sea." Before 200 A.D., christcucks were already reviled by the Roman community of philosophers and scientists. (Origen, Homilies on Genesis)

Hell, it wasn't even mentioned in the post itself, but the related pic. Are crosses that triggering to you? Reminds me of a certain group that likes to take them down because they offend jews and muslims.

I think you are using selective bias and being neglectful of the fact that all religions/cults stem from familial relationships. You also should take into account that historically good/bad events and teachings were attributed to named individuals even if they were not the originators. There is also the case that two named individuals are either the same person or went to the same school.
Non of your construts so far include paganism or buddhism and JC was just as much a follower of Buddhist doctrine and Judaism. Christianity is in basic terms a fusion of the both. It also does not take into account that Jesuits would quite often mix their philosophy with local stuff to gain acceptance. All extablished religions do that. The original Buddhist teachers in Japan did not teach Nirvana because it would have not worked with the people at the time.
Essentially if you are going to stick to stuff that happend A.D. then you have not studied enough.

The arguments you are making reflect a surface-level understanding of theological distribution in the Old World, and a willing ignorance towards targeted analysis. Further ignorance is demonstrated by the use of the word "pagan" (which is common amongst many quasi-"pagans" too).
> JC was a Buddhist and a Jew in belief
It is highly-unlikely the individual you are referring to actually existed, according to any non-biblical sources.
https://www.jesusneverexisted.org
On another note, if you read the arguments previously made, I state that christcucks used whatever lore they had to, in order to sway people into their brainwashed system. This was well-understood over 1800 years ago. Not once do I state that beliefs do not/should not have any cross-over: you seem to think that being aware of theological exchange makes you more "intelligent", Leddit. The best way to subvert beliefs is to understand how beliefs work.
>Jesuits would quite often mix their philosophy with local stuff to gain acceptance
Correction: (((they))) would forcefully conquer peoples, rape them and corrupt their bloodlines, and then destroy the belief system through subversion. In early cuckstainity, this was internally enforced through religious edicts, and externally enforced through wars on neighboring peoples (let me politically correct for you, Leddit, "missionaries").
The most effective way to destroy a belief system is to subvert it through "compromise"- banning a belief outright creates a culture of resistance, while subverting it distorts and destroys its memory. Break a people through military might, or impose on them your willingness to burn down their village if they don't comply, and suddenly a cucked/subverted version of their solstice festival seems like a fair compromise. Do this to them for generation after generation, and eventually they've compromised away all of the beliefs of their ancestors. It is the same judeo-christcuck tactic employed by neocons in the US to disarm citizens.
judeo-christcuck cultists were very similar in demographic to judeo-bolshevik hordes, as both used/do use the same playbook.
> Buddhist teachers in Japan did not teach Nirvana because it would not have worked with the people at the time
Two decent individuals with structurally-different beliefs can find points of common ground, as they both live in the same world. This is a false equivalence stemming your conditioned, INTENTIONAL ignorance of context.

>Republican Engineer Fired by Google Claims 'Bullying
>Kevin Cernekee was still a “Noogler” — Google’s term for a new employee — when his conservative take on political and social issues raised hackles within the search giant.
>After several posts on the company’s freewheeling internal message boards in early 2015 rankled some colleagues, he was given an official warning from human resources about conduct deemed disrespectful and insubordinate. Around that time, a senior manager wrote on the boards that he added Mr. Cernekee to a “written blacklist” of employees he wouldn’t work with.
>Mr. Cernekee, 41 years old, spent much of the next three years battling Google over his perceived violations, and pressing his contention that right-leaning employees were being treated unfairly, according to interviews, documents and copies of posts on Google’s internal message boards. In one example from 2017 that he reported to human resources, a manager publicly asked on a board about employees holding views like Mr. Cernekee's: “Can’t we just fire the poisonous a--holes already?”
>In June 2018, Mr. Cernekee was fired.
>“Historically, there’s been a lot of bullying at Google,” Mr. Cernekee says. “There’s a big political angle, and they treat the two sides very differently.”
>A Google spokeswoman, Jenn Kaiser, declined to comment on the specific incidents described in this article involving Mr. Cernekee and other employees. “We enforce our workplace policies without regard to political viewpoint,” Ms. Kaiser said in a statement.
>Political bias in the technology world is a headline topic in Washington, D.C., where Republicans on Capitol Hill and the Trump administration are increasingly ramping up heat on Alphabet Inc.’s Google and other tech platforms over perceived bias against conservatives. Google’s global policy chief testified in July to Congress that political leanings don’t factor into the company’s decision making.
>Last week, a senior Google engineer, Gregory Coppola, gave interviews to a pair of conservative media outlets and suggested the company was politically biased toward the left. Hours later, he received a call from human resources putting him on administrative leave and disabling his access to internal systems, according to a person familiar with the matter.
>The walkout organizers, who lean left, also have complaints. They say the company retaliated against them because of their activism. Former YouTube marketing manager Claire Stapleton says she was “branded with a scarlet letter” and demoted because of her outspokenness. Google says it investigated her claims and found them false. Ms. Stapleton quit in June with a severance package, she says.
>Mr. Cernekee didn’t receive a payout. A Chicago-area native, he is in some ways the prototypical Silicon Valley engineer. He repairs old computer equipment in his spare time and bikes on the weekends.
>His political stances, however, are outliers. Some 95% of Google employee donations to candidates in the 2018 midterm elections went to Democrats, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, citing public disclosures.
>Mr. Cernekee calls himself a whistleblower and has filed complaints with the National Labor Relations Board. Several were denied; the original is pending. He’s submitted materials including a human resources warning letter that says he violated the “Respect Each Other” section of the company’s code of conduct.
>Among the posts cited was one in which he wrote that “many Googlers strongly disagree with Social Justice theory and even more Googlers are concerned about the ‘internet mob’ shaming and intimidation tactics employed in support of this agenda.” A human resources executive wrote: “Many Googlers were offended by your comments.” Human resources flagged one such comment in which Mr. Cernekee described himself as a second-class citizen, saying Google’s conduct policy bans “unbusinesslike behavior.”
>Mr. Cernekee says he has spent more than $100,000 on legal fees. He now works for another technology company.
>“I very much regret joining Google,” he says. “I figured it would be a good place to see intelligent arguments through. It didn’t really turn out how I expected.”

>Kevin Cernekee was still a “Noogler” — Google’s term for a new employee — when his conservative take on political and social issues raised hackles within the search giant.
>After several posts on the company’s freewheeling internal message boards in early 2015 rankled some colleagues, he was given an official warning from human resources about conduct deemed disrespectful and insubordinate. Around that time, a senior manager wrote on the boards that he added Mr. Cernekee to a “written blacklist” of employees he wouldn’t work with.
>Mr. Cernekee, 41 years old, spent much of the next three years battling Google over his perceived violations, and pressing his contention that right-leaning employees were being treated unfairly, according to interviews, documents and copies of posts on Google’s internal message boards. In one example from 2017 that he reported to human resources, a manager publicly asked on a board about employees holding views like Mr. Cernekee's: “Can’t we just fire the poisonous a--holes already?”
>In June 2018, Mr. Cernekee was fired.
>“Historically, there’s been a lot of bullying at Google,” Mr. Cernekee says. “There’s a big political angle, and they treat the two sides very differently.”
>A Google spokeswoman, Jenn Kaiser, declined to comment on the specific incidents described in this article involving Mr. Cernekee and other employees. “We enforce our workplace policies without regard to political viewpoint,” Ms. Kaiser said in a statement.
>Political bias in the technology world is a headline topic in Washington, D.C., where Republicans on Capitol Hill and the Trump administration are increasingly ramping up heat on Alphabet Inc.’s Google and other tech platforms over perceived bias against conservatives. Google’s global policy chief testified in July to Congress that political leanings don’t factor into the company’s decision making.
>Last week, a senior Google engineer, Gregory Coppola, gave interviews to a pair of conservative media outlets and suggested the company was politically biased toward the left. Hours later, he received a call from human resources putting him on administrative leave and disabling his access to internal systems, according to a person familiar with the matter.
>The walkout organizers, who lean left, also have complaints. They say the company retaliated against them because of their activism. Former YouTube marketing manager Claire Stapleton says she was “branded with a scarlet letter” and demoted because of her outspokenness. Google says it investigated her claims and found them false. Ms. Stapleton quit in June with a severance package, she says.
