/mlpol/ - My Little Politics

The Raspberry Pi Retropi is the perfeft gift to get any faggot who actually plays shitmodern video games for leisure. It's pricey but if I was rich I'd get everyone I was close to one of these things.

"Howdy, cunt! You grew up in a world where paying ninety or more dollars for fifa and ass creed is normal because you felt you were too cool to touch a video game until it went from non-mainstream to pozzed and jewed? Have a window to a past you missed out on and about to get fucking nostalgic for with a carefully selected list of all the best games or just literally all old games ever. Fuck pay to win DLC in Tekken 7. Bet I can kick your ass in Tekken 3! You want to play some romhack like Pokemon Clover? How about homebrew? Every second you spend experiencing free good shit is a second you're not funding the enemy."

Heh, I legit just bought a pi4... though that is so I can make a CNC machine controller out of it with the mesa 7i96 http://store.mesanet.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=311
Going to try to get it going soon-ish so I can make lots of fun custom christmas presents this year.

>>324900
wut? what website? You post in the wrong thread?

Merry christmas everypony!

>>324902
I mean, almost-christmas

Secret santa mlpol when?

>>324904
I thought about hosting that, but am personally way too busy this season. I'd jump in if others will do it though.

made a bunch of soap for some anon for 4chan /mlp/ secret santa. Apparently he likes fluttershy, so I made a fluttershy stamp to squish into the soap before it cured too much. The stamp was made last weekend.
Soap was made on tea time stream (kinda late, sorry).
In the morning next day it was solid enough to extract from the baking pan and cut into bars.
I used a combo of turmeric and yellow dye to get a yellow color, however its not yellow (yet). I expect it to be more yellow though in the next week or two. Soap takes a while for the chemical reaction to complete.

It's officially Christmas season now.
I have literally no plans for Christmas this year.

>>324897
As a non christfag I always feel conflicted about this topic OP. I want to recommend christfags against most yule celebrations and to invent their own christianly traditions, maybe bringing gifts in the same way the wisemen did for jesus, while setting aside the a portion of the three gifts to god as a kind of tithe/ritual.? not sure what other psuedo jewish inspired yule celebrationry you could wedge in there. catholics, are of course, able to celebrate with christmas trees, but theyre just christianity: pagan edition, and shamelessly and openly took in all pagan holidays.

Note I do not mean anything rude by this. I genuinely enjoy the process of reinventing the holiday and religious seasons. Despite christfags dunking on pagans for having no surviving traditions, for some reason I'm sure they wont jewishly try to hide, I think the use of pagan traditions ended up mushroom stomping on many possible christian ones you could be doing/having.

>>326811
I'm trying to understand what you are saying... I think I understand some of it... maybe.
Basically because Christmas was supposedly a pagan holiday before catholicism got it and adapted it to be more western, is why you don't like it?
Christ's birth was supposedly around harvest season (fall). I've heard this pagan repurposed holiday argument before, and its pretty weak honestly.

Christmas in general is around the time when farmwork (from ages past) was finally done enough that the winter could be weathered. Wood in the woodshed, making sure there are blankets and winter clothes for everyone, the cow/deer butchered for winter food (bunch of it turned into jerky) and similar such farmlife stuff came to a close. I suppose people of ages past considered it a good time to give gifts in celebration of Jesus's birth, a time to celebrate life.
I don't see anything wrong with this.

>>326811
>I want to recommend christfags against most yule celebrations and to invent their own christianly traditions, maybe bringing gifts
Why? Why does it matter?
>maybe bringing gifts in the same way the wisemen did for jesus
People do that for children and friends/relatives. Jesus isn't here.
>setting aside the a portion of the three gifts to god as a kind of tithe/ritual.?
That sounds like an offering/sacrifice. Christians don't make sacrifices of any kind, because Christ became their sacrifice, unlike Jews who still consider it necessary. There's nothing that Christians can offer to God that is valuable enough to be worth their devotion.
>shamelessly and openly took in all pagan holidays
There is no real reason as to why Europeans should give up their holidays and festivals after converting to Christianity. Something can be a tradition even if it isn't a sacrament.
>christfags dunking on pagans for having no surviving traditions
I don't think this is done anywhere except on /pol/.
>the use of pagan traditions ended up mushroom stomping on many possible christian ones you could be doing/having
Why make up pointless new traditions when you already have some? That would basically be what niggers did with Kwanzaa just because they wanted to differentiate themselves (even though it never caught on because black Christians love Christmas). It would be stupid to give up old traditions just because the religion changed. Most of the pagan holidays and traditions were derivative of universal animism, the changing of seasons, and harvest festivals: they can still be relevant even if the old religious sacraments are obsolete, or replaced with new religious symbolism. You can decorate a tree without also worshipping it.
>As a non christfag I always feel conflicted about this topic
Why feel conflicted? It's common knowledge that non-Christians celebrate Christmas; nobody is going to blame you for celebrating it without practicing the religion. If you're that buttrustled by the name you could just call it "winter solstice festival" or whatever else you want.

>>326815
No real time to answer in detail, like your post though. I'll answer the one I can right now.
>Why feel anxiety over it, traditions good
A lot of the christian doctrine seems to be about religious purity, the rejection of foreign rituals, and some verses even specifically call out the tree of life (that's the Christmas tree) as being bad/heathenry.

I never experienced a true power of christmas spirit because I never had a chance of sharing presents with anyone but my family. My interests are meek and nothing ignites me anymore. I don't want to participate in 4chan's secret santa because I don't support the platform anymore. And the overall impression I am getting from the kind of people in there makes me geniunely upset. Imagine getting a fucking Izzy cup instead of something G4 related.

>>326900
thats a lot of tl;dr
summarize

Here is a good reference for when and how the Christmas holiday was started
https://answersingenesis.org/store/product/happy-holidays-booklet/

>>327752
Not going to pay a cent towards your book, shill. P.S. "Christmas " is a holiday stolen from polytheistic Europeans and adapted to Christ cuckery.
Neck yourself as based Christian Tyrone fucks your daughter, sober Christoid.

>>326844
>rejection of foreign rituals
This isn't really accurate. Very little about Christianity implies that you have to give up any of your people's traditions, unless they're morally in conflict with Christianity. It only really instructs you to stop worshipping other gods, and even then that doesn't mean you can't keep pagan celebrations.
>>326900
What are you trying to say here, and how is it related to what the other Anon said?

>>327754
...what a weird mixture of human and mare vag.

>>328514
CS188 never disappoints

>>326915
Summary: no. Stop digging in your heels while emotionally screeching "but m-muh reelijun r totalee troof!" There are >20,000 deities which predate the kike 616 """gods""", nearly all of which were stolen from Mesopotamian cults. Learn. history. or. be. doomed. to. repeat. it.

>>327757
Bullshit. The basic bitch judeo-christcuck knows nothing outside their religion or the expectations, that being a slave for "duh gud wurkz", forced upon them by a pseudo-moralistic, authoritarian theocratic (((society))). As for what I stated, refer to the above: learn your history, or be doomed to repeat it ad infinitum like a useful sheeple.

Can we just not have in fighting during the Holidays and just respect each others religions, We're friends and there is no reason for Friends to hurt each others feelings and cause pointless conflict especially when things are really blackpilling around the world that the moment and we also don't know how long we have together

Can we please just have peace for at least one holiday

>>328524
My thoughts exactly.

>>328524
This.

>>328524
Think its just one paganfag having an autistic fit.

>>326847
Cant you just ask for g4 stuff only?

>>328528
yeah you can... pretty sure when they ask you what your favorite ponies are you can just list G4 pone names and be good, more or less. Can also just say "no G5 shit"

>>326847
>>328529
Anon who participated in the secret santa this year...
Like most anons writing their wishlist, the person I got specifically mentioned "No G5"

Quit being autistic. Use the thread watcher and avoid the rest of the board.

>>328569
Aww... I want to be in a secret. Santa.

>>324898
do you know how to make a wii load roms?

>>328854
Yeah. I'm that guy and I did that years ago to my Wii. I used a youtube tutorial for getting USB Loader and the Homebrew Channel working. I've got VisualBoy Advance on it, too. But since I've already got my gba collection on my hacked phone, my raspberry pi, and my PS2, getting it on my wii didn't seem worth it.

>>328857
Mine black screens whenever I try to load a room.

>>328859
What roms are you trying to load? Have you tried using other sd cards? What size is your sd card? Have you installed homebrew channel correctly and put the Wiis version of VBA on your sd card correctly?

>>326815
This.

>>328524
This also.

I just don't get why these conversation can't be civil in the first place. Like my best friend is an atheist and we love each other. I don't have to worry that he'll call me a christcuck other than bants because despite our differences, we respect each other.

>>328522
That still dosn't mean they wouldn't continue historic traditions on Christmas.

>>328878
The rub is, Christmas is perched atop the still smoldering corpse of the pagan holidays, but with an aire of entitlement that stands against the bloody hands of the church.
The rub is, pagan traditions only exist today because they managed to not get genocided at the hands of the church.
And, the rub is that pagan traditions contain the exact same forms and archetypes as the christian tradition, and is therefore of no greater or lesser value to the practitioner.
Now, since pagan could technically involve certain south american, european, and african cultures, I will NOT claim that pagan traditions arent guilty of a bit of slaughtering of their own; they totally are. Having said, the ratio of abuses of generational paganism versus less-generational christian church (we'll omit jewish and islamic affilliation for this analysis) is absurdly weighted on the christian side for causal abuses, and vice versa.
And every year, this reality is reinforced. All the bullshit christmas songs, all the decoration and sales that now start in mid october, all reek of the death of the pagan tradition(s).
At least, thats what I intuit
>t. not 'the' pagan-fag but 'a' pagan-fagish

>>328885
So these Christians who "Genocided pagans", did they also get six million Jews at the same time?

>>328885
You still didn't provide a reason for why our conversations can't be civil.
You provided your perspective on what happened in the past. I guess, I have to retell my "why hsitorical arguements don't convince your political opponent" arguement. Essentially, we can't even remember correctly what happened yesterday but we should trust other humans that something happened a hundred years ago. How can they be sure of these things?
"Those who don't learn their history are doomed to repeat it?" Have you ever heard this being said but about another historical event with the a little name like, "The Holocaust?" Yeah, no one of us here believes in it, do we? Then what can we gleam from this? Well, that the hisotrical establishment over the world is more than compromised and shouldn't be trusted anymore.

Again, even if you are right. There's no reason for us to be enimies, right? We're almost all nationalistic here. We all want the same thing: The survival of white people.
So we can still communicate which was the point with my post.

>even if you are right.
Which I doubt but that wasn't my point. I'm very sceptical to the whole pagan community but I can seperate the trees from the forrest.

It always pisses me off when Jews imitate nationalist whites and try to purity spiral. Instead of trying to contribute to a conversation they try to start fights by making absurd statements. They say shit like "The French aren't really white" or "Germans aren't white enough" or "Christianity is the jew's greatest weapons against whites and if we were pagan the jews would be dead by now" or "Shut the fuck up American your nation is only 51% white and you should feel bad" or "I loathe American whites because something something jews so I would never want to help them or fight side by side with them! Like, what even is a white man anyway? White is an enemy's word and we only hurt ourselves by uniting or identifying as white! Stop doing identity politics man, stop noticing coincidences and talking about jews when it's really women! I refuse to listen to anyone who thinks jews created feminism or helped it in any way! Let's go in circles blaming women and never jews! What even is a jew anyway? And what even is a white man anyway? Nobody's white in my book; What does a white man from Russia have in common with a white man from Europe or America?"
I'll tell you one thing all whites have in common: An enemy, in the form of the Jews.
Even the Whites serving the enemy are still hated by Jews.
White men are under attack. Their cultures are under attack. History and the truth are under attack by jews.

>>328899
Ive been civil, I cant speak to why it devolves that way.
But I do notice that plenty of Christians are very quick to prescribe extermination for heresy whenever pro-pagan statements are made. You dont get that from pagans, oddly enough. Not saying all Christians, but for every Christian who's willing to live and let live theres at least one who tows the "burn in hell you filthy heathen" line.
Again, Im trying to explain this civilly, because this issue arises every year here and elsewhere. I dont have a problem with Christmas or Christianity. The problem occurs when Christians want to get abusive because I dont follow their traditions but also wont accept defamatory slurs. I appreciate thal effectively all traditions have the "Oh, btw, we're right and fuck everyone else because their pursuit of NOT-this tradition is a threat to THIS tradition, so yeah, kill them all" written into the contract book, but I dont appreciate the baited breath by which some are so keen to employ such mentalities, especially in light of how factions of every other race are all predisposed against whites.
Tl;dr If Christians want to join with pagans in defending the white race, then we really shouldnt be cursing each other with the worst things imaginable because we disagree about old literature

>>328910
>Ive been civil
I never said you weren't. My point was that it seemed to me that you meant that justifications for why there can't be civility between us with this post >>328885 when you answered my post's claim of us being able to be civil with the phrase, "the rub is." Tl;dr We just had a misunderstanding simply put

>The problem occurs when Christians want to get abusive
Well, I don't share that perspective. I'm under the impression that pagans are almost always the ones starting the attack. But whatever. We can agree to disagree on this as well.

>Tl;dr If Christians want to join with pagans in defending the white race
Maybe it's a bad choice of words so I assume you know that this is not your movement and for that matter, I won't be joining anyone. We'll be allies.

>then we really shouldnt be cursing each other with the worst things imaginable because we disagree about old literature
This. Here we compeletely agree.

>>328916
>I'm under the impression that pagans are almost always the ones starting the attack.
But perhaps we have only seen each other's bad side but not our own. It's not like I can't believe there to be christians that sins and abuse others or anything but it's not my experince. In my experince it's pagans that starts the fight.

>>328917
Theres another issue at play here that needs illustration, and the way the societal perception is shifting might make this phenomenon more appreciable.
As long as can be remembered, people have said "Merry Christmas" and "Happy Holidays", and everyone carries on.
Unless you say "Happy/Merry Yuletime". Some people will take the comment with its intended spirit, whereas others will act like you punched them in the nose and will walk away looking gobsmacked.
Its always been socially acceptable to be Christian (I cant speak to jewnica or kwanigger), but at best a person is socially 'allowed' to be pagan.
And this is the way the trend is shifting for Christians.
>pic related
So while Ive received my share of anti-pagan salt, and Ive dished out my share of anti-christian salt, but I dont wanna do that anymore. Ive had some shit get really real lately and I cant afford to maintain these petty squabbles. We really nedd to bury the hatchet, and while this is a bit of a derail-post, I cant think of a better place to start than here, locally, in the Christmas thread.
My right hand hoof is extended, and my left hoof is empty.

Here, since you guys really wanted 'the origins of Christmas' have a smol 32 page booklet going over the origins of the tradition.

In the end it does not really matter anyway, numerous places in the bible describe you, the individual, celebrating any given tradition with your heart following Christ first and foremost.
This is what the jews seem to forget and instead flaunt their traditions to seem high-and-mighty.
The book of Ezekiel is a good example of this https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ezekiel%206&version=NASB1995
Later on in the book it is detailed what the jews were doing at the time. The things they were doing back then are almost the same for what is happening today.

My favorite part of Ezekiel though?
>For I have no pleasure in the death of anyone who dies,” declares the Lord God. “Therefore, repent and live.”
There is very little "new" information revealed about God in the new testament. The above verse was written well beyond 2,500 years ago and sure looks a lot like what is found in the new testament "Believe in Christ and you will be saved"

The celebration of The Christ's death and resurrection on my behalf.
This is why I celebrate Christmas.

>>328885
Can't you take this to vx or something?
This thread is not really the best place to have a discussion about it.

>>328925
This tbh.
At least post some Christmas ponies.

>>328919
>Happy/Merry Yuletime
To be fair, it's not like those are heard very often. If people said that to me Iwould not complain, but I would look at them weird because I have an idea what they are talking about.

>>328926
Also yeah this.
We should all at least post Christmas pones.
Or some kind of snow related pone thing.

>>328921
Very intresting. Thanks for posting that.

>>328919
Actually, in Sweden no one says Merry Christmas. While it is still celebrate by christians for Jesus's birth, it's called, "jul." Peoplle say, "God Jul," here. Just type merry Christmas in a translator and you'll see.

>My right hand hoof is extended, and my left hoof is empty.
That sounds great. Let us cheer! It is only through our combined love we can beat the windigos afterall.
