crepeface posted:does this include Orthodox Christianity? eastern orthodox specifically counted, the others generally didn't. so the balkans/greece/russia/georgia get into christendom that way but ethiopia for example does not. i'm sure there's no mysterious factor related to physical appearance causing that! i guess i should be clear that i'm talking specifically about the extremely racist early modern/victorian conception of what "christendom" is because that view of the world is what created the borders of the european cultural sphere. nowadays the word does just mean "all christian-majority nations" basically.

mawarannahr posted:why is Georgia considered Europe? it's to the east of Turkey and it's not even in the several traditional geographical boundaries. is it the Christianity? they're not any whiter than a Turk or Azeri so that can't be it. It is inside some of the traditional geopraphical boundaries.  A is the Strahlenberg definition which is most commonly used today and puts all Caucasus countries south of Russia in Asia. But all alternative borders are further south and some of them put (at least parts of) Georgia in Europe.

So, politically motivated attempted assasination on “pro-Russian” Slovak premier. Meanwhile I’m reading columnists in Dutch ostensibly lefty papers call Orban an anti-EU traitor who should be removed forthwith for daring to sign deals with an evil enemy such as Xi Jinping. Liberals having a good one.

Scores of major corporate sponsors have abandoned Copenhagen Pride for momentarily taking a stance on their sponsors' investments in genocide, which they immediately backed away from in addition to firing their communications chief. Their chairman of 15 years has also resigned. The new chairman promises to not touch these far away conflicts with a ten-foot sparkly rainbow pole.

well this brain trust is one step closer to forming a government in the Netherlands from left to right: a fascist, a liberal-fascist, a fascist farmer, and uh a very confused christian-liberal. They've produced a (fascist) list of plans, most of which cant be implemented because of Dutch law or EU and international treaties, and they've already started blaming the dumbest parts of it on eachother, so lets see how it goes. spechtie has issued a correction as of 22:58 on May 16, 2024 |

went to see barry lyndon for the first time at a theater and what a beautiful movie, but also hilariously grim portraying the European aristocracy being held up by huge ponzi schemes and petty grudges that create arbitrary divisions amongst them and leading to bloody stupid wars.
