Jimmy's motivations are different probably, the man almost certainly knows he's going to hell if it exists (in the way his beliefs would see it as existing). He's clinging on for dear life lol

Pretty much. This is what E*rope did to the religion following the legacy of the dude who broke bread with sex workers, outsiders, and tax collectors, who flaunted religious convention like "not working" on the Sabbath, who chilled with lepers, and who whipped money-changers and mocked religious hypocrites (pharisees).

Agnostic ex-Cath myself but even just based on what sources we have on the historical figure he wouldn't approve (of the majority of what has been done with his legacy)

Pretty much, this has been my take as well (that Trump is if anything the opposite of an accelerationist by and large, and impotent due to just how much of an Ugly American™ he is)

I suppose mapposting is timeless :o (as a mapnerd myself)

I hope this happens lol...

In hindsight, I don't know how to crosspost on the Fediverse and that's probably pretty obvious

I'm despairing all right agony-4horsemen YanKKKee politics really has a particular brand of cringe (not that I've any ground to stand on, my country basically imitates/follows yours right down to the Trumpf/Klanmala supporters, if perhaps on a lesser level)

Pretty much, he's just saying the quiet part out loud. Any lib with an inkling of historical knowledge (even of the cold war), or with an inkling of geopolitics combined with some meager understanding of the real workings of the modern economy/supply chains (granted, far less common than it should be), or who keeps up with news and doesn't have the memory of a beanis understands exactly how their bread is buttered even if they won't admit it to themselves or others.

It's a term used as much by genuine progressives as it is by reactionaries IMO (for instance in critiques of white feminism, imperialist feminism and western pinkwashing, etc). There is a genuine larger world of feminists (and other progressives) out there who have serious bones to pick with the western portrayal of itself as the end-goal and arbiter of progress..

There's Islamic feminism, indigenous feminism, black feminism, communist feminism, etc. Even western feminism (and "feminism") has its serious divisions and many outright wreckers/appropriaters tbh.

Just waiting and hoping to all that's possible that the resistance strikes back in full and equal form soon (if they deem it best). timmy-pray If the Arabs cannot have the fruits of their land (oil) and labor, then the settlers and the entire west should freeze...

Huh. Actually it sounds pretty interesting then. Even just looked it up and watched the trailer... I don't watch movies much, and western movies/shows in particular blissfully little nowadays, but I might torrent it.

Apparently that Quaid guy also did a Reagan movie cringe so you win some, you lose (or crash and burn) some I guess. But the concept of the Substance seems cool and really relevant to me (even if I don't do well with horror)

Honestly if any of the claims of the historical figure and his divinity are to be believed, it's probably not so far from the truth. If he whipped the money changers and merchants in the temple, what would he do for those who have made a mockery of everything he allegedly stood for and desecrated (genocided) most of an entire continent?
