  • cause i’m more christian than they are, literally same claim they make

    So, you do not have any more basis for your claims than they do? Considering that, and the fact that they outnumber you by a lot, it seems that they are better candidates for being classified as actual christians.

    If your faith consists of hating people, as it’s the lowest form of prayer to hope for misfortune of your enemies, i do think you are full of shit

    In that case, christians can be divided into being full of shit and ones who base their beliefs on the claims of the ones who are full of shit but with a few deviations.

    if you think colonialism, slavery or genocide wouldn’t happen without christianity

    I don’t, but christians and their organisations have been consistent supporters of such. The rest still has their beliefs entirely on the say-so of those (with, again, some deviations).


  • institution is not religion tho, beliefs are what you make of them

    If you claim that every major group that claims to be christian is not actually christian, then what claim do you have to be an actual christian instead of them?
    Also, if you consider every such group to not good, then why do you want to base your beliefs on their fiction that they consistently use for horrible stuff that ranges from abuse on a personal level to colonialism, slavery, and genocide?





  • I said relative to the rest of the world

    Yes, and I said that that does not seem to be the case at all. Relative to the rest of the world, Germany seems to have been in a much, much weaker position in 1930-1940s than the US now.
    I welcome serious sources to be proven incorrect.

    Back in the 1930s and 1940s, the only major military and economic powers on earth were France, Britain, Germany, the US and the USSR

    And now, it’s just the US (and the vassals that it controls), with no opposition from the USSR or a similar polity. The PRC does not seem to take any military action today the way the USSR and the PRC did last century.
    So far, the US seems to be miles ahead of 1930-1940s Germany.

    On the other hand, the military and economic differential between the US and China is obscenely unfavorable for the US.

    Firstly, the PRC hasn’t been taking any action to beat the US and to liberate its colonies so far. It doesn’t matter if the PRC has a better military (this claim seems to be untested, given no recent experience of the PLA fighting), and/or if it has a better economy if it’s not going to be used to fight the US.
    Secondly, the PRC and the US seem to have militaries of rather similar sizes, with the US also having the rest of NATO to back it up and with the US also having a military with recent experience.
    Thirdly, while the PRC has much greater actual productive capacity, that productive capacity is used in large part to supply the imperial core with the produced goods. The productive capacity of the PRC is thus, effectively, in part, the productive capacity of NATO. Furthermore, I would argue that the USSR also had a saner economy than Germany in 1930-1940s.

    Maybe if you had watched the video you would have seen the sources cited

    I have gone through the slides, looked into the description. I did not find any relevant sources. Can you provide the timestamps and/or write the sources down?
    So far, it does not seem like the claim that the US is in a significantly worse position than Germany was in 1930-1940s has any studies to support it.

    Bizzare requirement

    When did it become a bizarre requirement for claims to be sourced and for those sources to actually provide evidence for said claims?

    EDIT:
    Furthermore, I do not see how you can look at the US be able to dictate most of the world - including the rest of the imperial core - what to do, including blockade and invade countries that try to defy the US, and claim that Germany was in a stronger position in 1930-1940s when it did not have anywhere near the same capabilities.
