Sure, pick the easy tiny details. Where does obvious end? Some now rare branches branches of Christianity are iconoclastic, think portraying any of these is blasphemy. Some think worshipping Mary is blasphemy, of course a position unacceptable to those who do worship her.
Who draws the line and why do you think you will get to be the one?
This is basically begging for a constant civil war, and that's without even getting into the secular politics who would interact with them, always more than eager to hide their agendas under religion if it is to benefit them.
You can't focus on internal enemies when external enemies need you to be ready for them at all time, otherwise you end up like many countries in recent history that focused on crushing internal dissent - with a foreign army supported rebellion or regime change. There needs to be pragmatic and responsive tactical balancing of attention between them.
So now you know why are you in fantasy territory? Would you even be able to find enough fit, military age Christians who agree with this vision of your country to form merely a couple divisions?
If you say it's the most important, you see how someone may take such conclusions from what you said?
Well duh, weakness is always a prelude to revolutions. Revolutions generally don't succeed against strong and popular governments.
Again, take off the rose tinted glasses. He was not particularly brutal by Russian standards. By European standards Russia was a brutal, backwards mess at the time though.
Yet it's the likes of Ivan the Terrible why Nicky had such a shitty hand of cards to play with.
Good statecraft is also part of being "being strong" in the long term, otherwise you end up with something like Syria. Sure, such a rule with iron fist can crush any internal rebellion, but then you end up dealing with crashing economy and all the consequences and weaknesses that come with it.
Called it. So you don't care about your nation, hence you are a theocrat, not nationalist. You will betray your nation for foreign theocrats of the same stripe. Welcome to the Islamic State. Oh, wait, wrong religion. I for one don't want my country to end up colonized by some exotic foreign peoples as long as they practice a particular religion.
As for shitlibs, either they learn what's good for them or get told to fuck off to their fellow internationalist friends somewhere else, like Cuba or Venezuela.
It's about both.
Absolutely not, they have a state ideology that they quite openly peddle and enforce upon their citizens. Just because said ideology is non-theistic besides performing many other historical functions of religion doesn't make them properly secular, otherwise you're going to end up with a conclusion that Buddhism is not a religion.Norway and the UK are not secular nations?
Christina Ellingsen is facing prison time for saying that men can't be women
In this episode, Meghan Murphy speaks with Norwegian feminist Christina Ellingsen, who is being investigated under hate crime charges for saying that men can't be lesbians or mothers.www.feministcurrent.com
Not as bad, closer to Vietnam or Venezuela, but yes, and with different ideology.
And them being some of the worst SJW infested states in the West currently doesn't exactly help the argument of there *never* being pure free speech.
Low resolution view is fucking useless and can do your cause more damage than no view at all.
You can granularize statehoods by changes in governance all you want, doesn't mean anything. You may aswell stretch the USA into several nations divided by major changes in the constitution.
Turks no longer practice this supposedly successful Ottoman system so it's moot.
For starters stop giving them free shit and legal privileges. Harden up on dealing with criminals following that. Chuck ideological troublemakes who don't like it int odungeons. Even if few stay, doesn't matter, it's a numbers game.
It is the very definition of cultlike. Ironically, we have seen plenty of stories of leftist families doing exactly that, and it's usually them cutting off the non-leftist part rather than the other way around.
That's how it is for most westerners, like it or not, even if you don't consider yourself part of this majority.
By some odd coincidence my secular ass also wants these people away from children, separated by prison bars if need be, so there's no need for you to tell me what do i need to know it.
No, that's not how it works. Poor countries, preferably pre-industrial ones, not Muslim, go check on super-islamic Iran's fertility if you don't believe me.
Even the oil money flooded Gulf States with the insane welfare they can afford due to it with are wavering on fertility now, despite a lot of their population being culturally not far from their pre-industrial times.
Wow, wonder how individualist societies still can have nationalism, and had it, until commies got into positions of power and told them that's fascist.
Look at NGO and political donations, that puts a breach in this theory... Also, when taking about practical effects of donations rather than the judgement of the virtue of people donating, why use personal funds when they can use the funds of other people? In the end, funds are given, doesn't matter where did which dollar come from. Political power is a kind of currency too, and as any politician knows, it is exchangeable to money, and vice versa.
Yup. And the knowing part does point at the core of the problem - information and its availability.
