he did stream hearts of iron IV once though :thunk:

i know he was watching that netflix ottoman series based on that comment about memet and the cannons i bet you could get matt into paradox games and the total war series, probably some series grognard civil war games too but anything else forget it

he nearly had a loving breakdown watching someone play HoI, if you actually put him in front of a paradox game and made him play he'd lose it for sure

Two of the most oppressed groups in the US today

TBH the take that annoys me most about chapos is Protestantism vs Catholicism. Yeah, evangelicals are a loving cancer and all but they don't read, while the courts are getting full of 40 year old tradcaths named O'Racism and Guido di Nuovo in Cucina

For every terrible tradcath judge there are a dozen military officers who think the book of revelation is an instruction manual for bringing christ back to the earth and for whom our endless wars in the middle east are a religious crusade against the heathen sand n****rs

Besides its not like theres a competition for who is the worst and both of then are gonna have to be fought against.

the late 60's/early 70's protestant pivot to anti-abortion probably marks the start of that

my grandpa, who was already in his 60's at that time, wanted to kick my aunt out of their house for "getting into that papist abortion nonsense, what's she going be into next? that loving mormon poo poo?!"

Those Catholics dont read either :ssh:

The take that american Catholics in the kavanaugh et al vein are akin to protestants is spot-on. Same weird faith mumbo jumbo. Its almost like the problem is not specific religious beliefs, but something else :thunk:

I think it says a lot that you can see people convert from atheism to being tradcath or born-again Baptist, and be precisely the same flavour of rear end in a top hat they were before, with most of the same professed beliefs.

To me, going "well ackshually, jesus would be a socialist" to christians is a massive waste of time and insanely poorly engages with what people value in religion, trying to reclaim christianity or whatever for socialism is a quixotic goal.

ASK ME ABOUT LUMBER

religion is, a lot of places, the only thing that keeps the community together. when the source for funding becomes these insane right-wing maniacs, then doctrine follows suit. and because everything has to be a business in america, so is religion...

imo the pro strat for a socialist to appeal to religious conservatives is to just point out the sheer dissolution that follows free-market ideology. i've had a lot of success with pointing to the disruption of the family in the wake of commercial contraception (in itself a good thing imo, but you know), for example, and in america i'm sure one can build a wonderful case out of the opioid epidemic. any actual conservatives (and there are quite a lot of them) believes in community to some extent, and capitalism is just complete havoc on community in a way which is often possible to leverage into a way to get them to actually engage with you
