The Divine Dick
  • *Hits the Blessed Waterpipe of Panaji*

    Under Trinitarianism, God would be a they/them, because they're literally several people.

    According to the common understanding of the doctrine of virgin birth, Mary got impregnated through the Holy Spirit rather than The Father rawdogging her. This suggests that the Holy Spirit is a dick and thus probably male.

    The Father is, according to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, not a man or a woman. That being said, neither Hebrew nor Aramaic nor Koine Greek have gender-neutral pronouns (except perhaps calling The Father "it" in Koine Greek, which would be hilarious but sadly would not be approved of by a killjoy like Paul).

  • In a vacuum, appealing to authority is fallacious. An idea must stand up on its own merits.

    IRL, things get fuzzy. No one has the expertise and time to derive everything from first principles and redo every experiment ever performed. Thus we sadly have to have some level of trust in people.

    North Korean troops have been sent to Russia, U.S. confirms
  • I interact with enough tankies to tell you in advance.

    In the view of tankies, Russia isn't imperialist due to some weaseling with how they define imperialism in economic terms.

    The US, on the other hand, is as imperialist in tankies' minds as it is in reality.

    Thus, to to them, Russia is waging an anti-imperialist war with the long-term goal of establishing a "multi-polar" world.

    Thus, the tankie conclusion is that NK is heroically sending in the soldiers to help fight imperialism.

    I see no need to try and explain why this is wrong. That's left as an exercise for the reader.

  • To be fair, the name Antifa is used pretty much exclusively by radical anti-authoritarian left groups.

    The libs don't organise into black blocs to beat up fascists, they write to their congressman to ask for stricter hate speech laws.

    The tankies, despite creating the first group to call itself AFA, don't participate in them much in the modern day because they try to subordinate such things to their party, which goes against the decentralized ethos of what most people call Antifa.

    This leaves anarchists, libcoms, and a small smattering of demsocs and Trots. Thus it is completely fair to refer to "Antifa" as a left-wing phenomenon.

  • We anarchists are generally averse to cooperating with the police, for very good reasons. However, as I understand it, at times the only real way to protect the community in the society we currently live in seems to be talking with the pigs.

    Suppose you believe yourself to have evidence incriminating a serial killer. In an anarchistic society the serial killer could be sent to the psych ward and dealt with humanely. But what about the modern day? Do you turn over the evidence to the police?

    This question has been bothering me for about 3 days now. It was provoked by learning about Aufhebengate. It made me wonder under what circumstances snitching is justifiable.

    Translation: At Duartians United [name of the account] we propose a law that sterilizes every foreign woman that has a baby in the Dominican Republic after her first birth in the country. This measure will only apply to foreigners and not Dominicans. Do you think that some lawmaker of the DR...

    The grim reality is that most people here think like this person.
