Is this modern crusade three or four? I am losing track
The next logical step is obviously to kill their leadership, this worked very well in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Yugoslavia. Bastions of peace to this very day
Oops I have had a stroke
p.s. free one-way ticket for every Abrahamic faithful to the holy land, includes AR-15 and jug of gatorade.
Best money ever spent I tell you what
Thats the entire cause of the world’s pains. Ignorant religious fools calling every conflict the end. If only it was the end of THEM, we could all rest easier
We’re fucked.
Make sure their children and/or grandchildren serve in the US infantry. Frontline duty only.
Far right leaders want to see trump ignite armageddon, making him the antichrist.
If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, he will be tormented with fire and sulfur." Revelations 14:9-11
The mark on the forehead says “MAGA”
These people are a danger to the rest of us. They are mentally unfit and lack basic decency.
Doesn’t that story also include the Antichrist who’s “charismatic” and fools them all into fealty to him?
They collectively believed in it so much that they manifested him into reality without realizing
They believe they’re too faithful to fall for that of course. It’s the empathetic who are antichrists.
shutuuuup, your sounding like my elderly grandma and is weirding me out.
They said the exact same thing about Iraq.

Yep. Because the crazies are gagging for Christ to return.
Their whole grift, their raison d’etre is “god is coming, pray harder, and give me your money “
It’s wild people are just realizing this literally decades into this far right group grooming jr politicians and incoming officers at every military academy…
It’s like looking at your house on fire, flames leaping from every opening, and being concerned if your pillow is going to smell like smoke tonight.
Yeah, that would suck to smell smoke all night.
But the bigger issue is it smells like smoke, because it’s been reduced to ash.
Military academies (school for officers):
Politicians:
I’m not saying them pressuring trump isn’t bad, I’m saying it’s infinitly worse that over the last 30 years they’ve installed their people and had them recruiting peers the whole way.
It’s not just “extremist Protestantism” it’s the verbatim 1920 “second wave kkk” plan:

And that’s not the end game, that was what in sports is referred to as “rebuild years” where the focus was on growing membership and distancing from the hands on violence of lynching to systemic violence perpetuated thru legal but highly unethical means.
People really need to start learning this shit, it’s honestly the same playbooks, we can easily tell where they’re going, we just have to actually learn history.
The bad news is, we missed the off ramp they took last time:
Just as quickly as the Klan rose in membership and influence, however, it collapsed. There were many reasons. Some members were embarrassed by the organization’s bigotry, some by its silly regalia and ceremonies, or its money grubbing. Others were repulsed by its violence or its hypocrisy.
The Klan’s most fatal weakness was rooted in its poor leadership. The organization claimed to stand for morality, but its leaders provided the worst possible examples. For example, Edward Y. Clarke and Mary Elizabeth Tyler, the two Atlanta-based publicists who masterminded the Klan’s skyrocketing rise, were soon revealed to have been arrested in 1919 for sexual impropriety and possession of illegal alcohol. Then, with millions of dollars rolling in, infighting for control grew fierce, and Klan founder and Grand Wizard Col. William Simmons found himself ousted by Houston dentist Hiram W. Evans. Evans had allied himself with perhaps the Klan’s most successful personality, Indiana Grand Dragon David C. Stephenson. Stephenson, a former Socialist and a failed Democratic congressional candidate, had quickly engineered a Klan takeover of Indiana’s Republican Party. Clearly the most powerful man in Indiana, Stephenson (who said, “I am the law in Indiana”) viewed himself as a future senator and perhaps even president of the United States.
In April 1925, however, the 33-year-old Stephenson forced his aide, 28-year-old Madge Oberholtzer, onto a Chicago-bound train, where he assaulted and raped her. She attempted suicide, but her death a few weeks later was ruled to have followed from infection of the wounds Stephenson had inflicted on her. A jury found Stephenson guilty of rape, kidnapping, and second-degree murder.

What?
…what?
Look I’ve given you two sources, I’m not sure how much clearer I can make it for you. If you dispute the points that are being made, make a substantive argument.
You make a persuasive argument, Fry
I watched the video. I think you got links mixed up and posted some guy having an aneurysm.
Hegseth already thought this when he got the job.
He’s insane and in charge enough without religious leaders anyway.
He’s a cynical piece of shit, he doesn’t believe in anything.
No, that’s Vance. Hegseth is the one with the christofascist tattoos; you don’t have those carved onto you out of cynicism.
Yeah, I have a feeling Hegseth is either a true believer, or state mandated rehab brainwashed him into it.
Or drunk visions talk to him.
I don’t think Vance believes anything he says past what will keep him in power.
Religion, too, is a weapon. What manner of weapon is religion when it becomes the government?
-Edric, Guild Navigator - Dune Messiah
The mechanism of religion as a weapon never changes: controlling the public through fear and using said fear to extract power and wealth.
If you really want to understand power, religion and wealth one need look no further than Henry VIII’s Tudor court and Thomas Cromwell with his scheme to rob all the sacred religious Abbeys of England and take their wealth establishing a brand new made up religion. It’s the point in history where the veneer of religion was stripped away and left in its place were the people who had been using it casting all airs aside and start directly controlling people by simply killing and torturing enough of them.
The crusades. But with nukes.
Christian Zionism is out of control, and a thread to modern society.
Israel is the devil.
