Yeah like 99.9% of American"pagans" are just acting out an offensively cobbled together frankenstein of long dead European folk religions, with no actual belief system attached or connection to the tradition.
They just like to pretend they have an interesting culture, but don't even know shit about their own history, which could had made them an interesting person to talk to.
I mean, some of the prime commandments of Christianity are "don't kill anyone", "don't steal" and "love your neighbour as you would yourself".
It sure hasn't stopped them.
We know there hasn’t been any Buddhist soldiers. Don’t look at Japanese history.
Zizek is right about "western buddhism" (new-age version) and capitalism
Are buddhists necessarily ascetic? I'm not super familiar with buddhism, but I have read stuff written by buddhists and I'm pretty sure I remember one specifically speaking against the idea of asceticism, framing it as something of a needlessly "extreme" approach.
"Life is suffering... and I'm here to prove it!" :angery:
feminist next door is even more wretched than Noah Berlatsky, what a bleak existence
Game isn't over yet.
The beings who are playing our skinsuits still have a few more DLC to go.
converting to paganism for the pussy is not the craziest thing I've seen but it's up there
Depends on the paganism I guess. Miss me with sacrificing goats to wooden statues, but defending a forest "cuz beside a shitton of scientific evidence of why is good for different reasons, it's also my religion and if you hurt it I will reignite Notre Dame" is dope.
Hit me with that fucking in fields to make the crops grow and dancing ecstatically around a bonfire. Miss me with that LARPing as a worshipper of god whose rites and priesthood died out thousands of years ago so you just make everything up
Neodruids are similarly weird. Driving to stonehenge and wearing bedsheets... at least they're part of a community...?
Lmao, IIRC, literally the only thing we know about the druids comes from a couple of brief mentions from Julius Caesar.
[Future voice] druid pagan pussy got me going crazy
this is fun to imagine in just about anyone's voice actually. rick ross or the weeknd are winners
look i hate reddit as much the next fella but there's 0% chance their account got suspended for saying that unless it was a little less eloquently put.
Well I did call her a selfish bitch, but yeah I wasn’t even responding to another comment or anything
Berlatsky having a decent take, instead of lying about the Chapo hosts saying the N-word? it's the end times
I believe she is on the record as being a “Wall Street Lawyer”. Most famous for this absolute banger of class understanding https://twitter.com/emrazz/status/1139526791901659136
Lmao there it is I guess this tweet was deleted. https://web.archive.org/web/20190622230527/https://twitter.com/emrazz/status/1004699008202309632
Why would you be mad at people saying RBG should have retired when the democrats had full control of her replacement unless you know deep down that the democrats would have replaced her with a worse judge?
