Pacifistic Christianity has existed since the first years of the Church. It has not existed as a continuous thing. Because the pacifists fail at the most important task, preserving and propagating the word of God.

You cannot be a pacifist and not be capable of great violence. For if you claim to be a pacifist, yet are constantly unable to defend yourself, you are not a pacifist but harmless. Too many people conflate, intentionally or otherwise, the idea of pacifism with, uh, door-mat-ism?

I remember that part of the movie where Bambi threw a rock through the window of a school bus and cracked the skull of an eight year old.

literally how did it get to the point that most people that aren't on the right wing are in support of it?

The issue is being pushed from the top down by Democrat-aligned politicians, ideologues and academics so the rest of society must be forced to deal with the problem. It's a pretty common tactic for them.

It's bots, indians, and ai, (and paid farms) and it's just gotten worse over time

No way. That's just cope. Those are definitely just your average white liberal leftist people. I refuse to believe that brown people are online.

Thing is though assuming it really is a mass of people that retarded, reality does not play kindly to them when it comes knocking, if they think they're tough enough to start fights with people who are armed, they're going to find out nothing they can do will stop it from hurting or killing them, and numbers are not on their side if shit breaks out.

I certainly don't doubt that there is a giant silent majority in this nation that would crush the shit out of these lefty lunatics if push came to shove. What I'm trying to say is that even if there is a relatively small percentage of Americans who belong to this group of lefty retards, it still comes out to MILLIONS OF PEOPLE! (348m people is a lot of people!)

Even if only 5% of the American population believed the shit that gets spewed on r/all or on shitlib propaganda news channels like MSNBC, that's still about 17.4 MILLION PEOPLE!

I still don't get it, why do they all have a bizarre obsession with only drawing parallels to ww2 germany specifically?

I've been hearing "bro trumps gonna do a heccin holocaust of his own because he's a natsee" since 2015, has it ever happened? No.

It's the left's modern mythology. Everything is Natzees because everything in their worldview revolves around their mythical Natzees, whether it makes sense or not. Der Natzees are the modern day devil.

The more things change, the more they stay the same, apparently.

Si vis pacem, para bellum.
You should also learn about Just War theory by Saint Thomas Aquinas, it's one of the most influent concept for Christian war.

You don't think Coomdeep Connor from Spectrum support is actually helping 8 other people in line before you, do you?

What color is the eight year old

There is always room for society for someone or something to be described as the greatest of evils apparently.

And this of course.

Shit. You got me there. Let me rephrase that: I refuse to believe brown people are engaged in politics.

I feel that's an excuse to act like the right can't handle the billions of poo. Nah. Those redditors and what they represent is our problem. That's the bad part. It's people like us that were just horribly twisted along the way.

If Bambi’s mom had not allowed rats into her environment, she’d still be alive. Did I get that right?

Remember the six magic words:

“I know what jury nullification is.”

This is by far the easiest way to get out of jury duty I've seen it a few times and the prosecution always kicks them out

You should go on a jury and protect your people. Unless you want yours judged by leftists

I think what's more horrifying than the alive internet theory (all of the internet is bots) would be the alive Internet theory. Imagine the possibility that all of the hundreds of thousands of upboats and posts from terminally-shitlibbed redditard accounts are in fact REAL HUMAN BEINGS and not Chinese/Israeli/jeet botfarms

There are 243k real people on Reddit who upvoted a post about ICE being the next gestapo that's planning to skin alive every Latinx and LBGTQIAPZ tranz person...

IIRC Reddit actually admitted that the upvote system was fake a while back.
Their justification was that it had to be that way to counter all the pay-for-upvote spammers trying to manipulate the site.

I can't be the only one laughing my ass off at the fact that the two people who got shot in Minnesota are named "Pretty good"

You should go on jury duty because it's an important process, and we desperately need more impartial people who can look at stuff objectively
