When your problem is how it looks, well…
The thing is that the “do your own research” folks use the aesthetics of critical thinking to spread misinformation and thought terminating clichés to promote their view as unquestionable facts. I, on the other hand, gave my impression after being asked to and made it explicit that it doesn’t really add up. If you see other parallels, go ahead, share them. If it’s really only the aesthetics, maybe rethink what the problem is.
I read the autobiographical part where he describes his radicalization. At some point it’s about politics and that’s where he lost me (I mean the beginning is also about politics but you know what I mean)
And honestly it’s just bad story telling. It’s the same plot over and over again. He’s sympathetic and interested towards a group, be it Jews, Bolsheviks, social democrats, I think unions as well but I’m unsure. Than he encounters them, talks to them, reads newspapers both from and against them, and after considering both sides comes to the conclusion we all know.
My personal impression is that he didn’t radicalize in the period he describes (after being rejected from art school and living more or less on the street) but while writing the book. The book reads like a reenforcement more than a report. Reusing the same trope isn’t plausible. This can’t be the whole story either because the wrote it in jail and he wasn’t there for nothing.
I read it (not all of it) on my eBook reader so no one knew what I was reading. Once a guy looked at me in a way that I felt he catched enough to know. He wasn’t angry or frightened, his eyes just said “poor soul” but maybe I was imagining it
That’s basically how we in Germany dealt with fascists less than a century ago. Talk to them, convince them and win on the market place of ideas. Didn’t work back then because we didn’t have social media which is key in good faith debate and exchange of ideas.
He never used his powers for his own benefit, neither for his material advantage nor to show off or get out of bad situations. He only used his power to help others. That’s at least a more reasonable and in character reading than yours.
It’s called Christian Nationalism and isn’t limited to the US, neither do all US Christians fall under this category
This took me far longer than I’m willing to admit

Yet, most human clones share their last name.
Identical twins are natural clones and most of them share their last name (at least at birth and in childhood). So there is a correlation you can’t deny between being a clone and sharing a name. Destroyed by pure logic. Checkmate atheist
I know this is a joke but all land vertebrates have roughly the same number of vertebrae. A long neck means longer vertebrae, not more.
Thanks. I couldn’t think of the right way to put it
Lord of the Flies was explicitly about boy schools, not about human nature in general
A pretty looking pistol???
I was reacting to the “Isaiah talks about Mary” part of your argument. I’m not a scholar either and I linked a very short video but in other contexts, Dan elaborates that the Greek has been used for a raped woman who therefore isn’t a virgin anymore but the main meaning is virgin.
I’m not sure what your point was. I neither up nor downvoted your comment. But since the whole birth story is fabricated by arguably Christians, it either was by applying the mistranslation of Isaiah or, if the intended audience of the gospels understood it to mean “young woman”, it was an even later invention. If your point is that Jesus wasn’t the son of a virgin and never claimed to be, than sure.
I totally get when people say both parties are bad and don’t vote at all or vote third parties. I live in a multi party system so the whole concept is foreign to me. But the meme isn’t pro Democrats but against Republicans. Sure, voting Dems won’t save the US, change always comes through pressure from below, from the street. But voting for Rep*blicans is just Evil at this point.
In the Septuagint, so still in the Jewish context. For more details watch this short video.
Jesus was the first born. Even if Mary was a virgin when he was born, this isn’t necessarily the case for his younger siblings
Ah, now I get it. In that case thanks 😊
True, I think it’s no coincidence that these people most often end up on the same end of the political spectrum as he did.
