Right Wing Discussion Thread XIII: Do the Right thing

[The Eternal Aulus]

What is RWDT`s stance on the 1960s social counterrevolution?

Absolutely horrendous. Destructing family values, can´t be worse than that.

[Diopolis]

That's exactly what it means.

Waving the flag: They shouldn't care
Talking about how much you love America: a little annoying, but still, shouldn't care
Having translations: They should do that

Abstinence before marriage is better.

^This

Islamic

Yo that's cool

“No one needs to be marrying a nine year-old.”
>Muhammad slinks offstage.

Also, abstinence is perhaps the most utopian ideal I’ve heard on this site on a while.

Puritan new england had a teen pregnancy rate of literally zero. That implies either abstinence, or universal sterility. The average family had close to ten children, IIRC.
Now they knew how to run a country. Pity they were all heretics.

[Torrocca]

Ah, gotcha. As for the question, the National Guard shouldn't have stopped with just Kent State.

You can't just send the troops in to shoot up everyone you don't like. That wouldn't have helped things back then.

It's funny, since he wants the national guard to go about shooting up everyone, yet despises America and wants the Confederacy instead lmao

[Diopolis]

An ideology based around "hierarchy bad, capitalism is theft," one shilled for with borderline religious zealotry by you, is too ridiculous to bother actually arguing against. It'll never exist, and only a few places vaguely resembling its shadow have existed anywhere. But that's not good enough, apparently.

Oh golly gee, it's almost laughable to get lectured about ridiculous ideologies by someone in favor of militarism and traditional familial and gender roles, lmao.

Unlike your ideal, they've actually existed- and existed successfully.

Compared to yours it's not even weird.

Dio, do you believe the earth was created 10000 years ago?

Anarchism has and does exist successfully as well, and has mostly managed to exist without murdering or oppressing people :^)

Well I mean the last bit is kinda debatable tbf.

Well

Note that I said "mostly," and also note that I've talked about that plenty before and that I've condemned it fully.

Same goes for others in this thread before the next dogpile starts up.

Dio, do you believe the earth was created 10000 years ago?

No.
I believe humanity was created somewhere between seven and eight thousand years ago. With respect to the six days of creation, I follow Augustine who held they were categories, not literal days, and believe the length of time represented by creation week prior to Adam is frankly irrelevant.
I'm, technically, a very hardline old earth creationist, but in spirit I'm more like a YEC. Everything prior to genesis 1:26 is ambiguous in how literal it needs to be taken.

So Mesopotamia never existed?

Salem Witch Trials.

Like I said, heretics. A proper inquisition would have dismissed spectral evidence, suppressed the few genuine cases of witchcraft, and freed the rest.

Imagine unironically believing in Inquisitions.
This actually hurts to read omfg.

Wasn't the Mesopotamian civilization something like 5,000 years ago? Even Jericho, IIRC, isn't thought to be founded more than about 8,000 years ago.
This timeline would put mesopotamian, egyptian, indus valley, and chinese civilizations as arising in the first few generations after the flood.

That reminds me, the fact that the first ever human was found in Morocco was used by a Moroccan I know to claim that all humans were originally Berbers.

You mean...like Noah’s Ark style Flood?

Beyond the question of how do you determine witchcraft, (surprise: You can’t.)

Plenty of people practice witchcraft. They tend to be disappointed in the results.

The real witches were the friends we made along the way to the duck-floating competition.

1: Noah’s “worldwide” flood didn’t happen. Smaller, localized ones did, at the end of the Ice Age, and not all at once.
2: The Ark itself wouldn’t work.
3: The animals would have died out if they had somehow gotten to the Ark due to genetic diversity.
4: Most of the animals would have died out anyway due to the climate change from where they lived to where Noah was.
5: Sloths, kangaroos, penguins, beavers...anything in the Americas, Antartica, or Oceania.
7: Humans would’ve died out due to lack of genetic diversity.
