@venomscripts4789 Were they? Some Maronites -the REAL Lebanese, by the way!-, Maltese, and Assyrians can traces their lineage to the Crusaders in some way. The Knights Hospitaler are still alive and kicking, albeit more like a charitable organization for the sick nowadays. And, Europe continued to be Christian until recently due to the valiant efforts of the Crusaders (Anatolia and the Levant), the Spanish (Reconquista of Spain), the Franks (Central Europe), the British (naval prowess), and to a lesser extant the United States (Battle of Tripoli, where the U.S. Marines first saw action). Not to mention, there has always been a Christian remnant in the Middle East and the Caucasus.

As a Christian, I think you seem to describe Gnosticism more than Christianity. A lot of what you attribute to Christianity is rather foreign. And, I have to agree with another commenter before me:
"This is essentially similar to the question "God can do anything, so can't he create something bigger than Himself,". God in the Christian view is omnipotent, so He can do all things, yes. However, He cannot do a thing that is not a thing, this is a contradiction. If something is bigger than God, then that is a contradiction."
In other words, to say that God cannot exist because he cannot do something that is contradictory is a categorical error in our worldview. It makes no sense to ask if He can do anything contrary to Himself for the same reason Hegel's Ideobabbel makes no sense: it ultimately tries to turn a true dichotomy into a false dichotomy with a few cleverly placed words.
Your videos are helpful, regardless.

@HMStar10 I rest my case. You, sir, are a hypocrite. Also, what makes you think I am all that concerned about the HSS, which by the way is the missionary arm of the RSS? Unlike your pitifully insecure tail, even the nationalists among us in America typically don't care if any foreign missionaries are present. I don't, in fact my own home Anglican parish is run by the Church of Nigeria under Yoruba leadership. What "taste of my own medicine" are you even gloating about? Not to mention, the First Amendment protects Hindus just as much as Christians, and we happen to like it that way to avoid government overreach.
If you're going to call something revenge, make sure it's something I'd be mad about, first. I only brought up the Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh USA (parent organization being the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh) because I know you view missionary work as an invasion. (Because reasons.) This was simply my way of pointing out some hypocrisy, and I succeeded.

Yeah, and forced to endure Marcionist heresies, socialism of a different variety, churches not allowed to be churches with intact sacraments, perpetual inventions of scapegoats to avoid accountability, a demolished Polish countryside, neutrality violated even more, rule through fear, cults of personality, the disappearance of more monarchs and traditions on a whim, an even more fractured Anglican Communion than what we see now, Islamist invaders given favors by the funny mustache painter instead of by commies (arguably with even more distrous results with some Islamists even being in the SS at that time), Gnosticism and hermeticism shoved down our throats as if the church did not work hard to stamp such parasites out if our midst... Oh, yeah. Such a Paradise. Almost as if socialists of any variety lead to disaster.

Yeah, instead of this one hellhole, we get Marcionism crammed down our throats, ethnic socialism because "real" socialism was never tried, right? churches hijacked by "positive Christianity" instead of the woke, Muslim mercenaries, no ability to choose our own schooling, children snitching on parents, etc. Oh yeah, such a fine alternative, huh?

Yep. Successful black guys/gals off the top of my head: George Washington Carver, Thurgood Marshall, Garret Morgan, Jackie Robinson, Jesse Owens, Madame Walker, Thomas Sowell, Oprah Winfrey, Whoopie Goldberg, Eric July, D.A. Carson, Voddie Baucham, Eddie Murhpie, the Hellfighters of World War One, the Tuskegee Airmen of World War Two, the black troops of the Union during the Civil War (some units of such are honored on the Indiana Soldiers and Sailors Monument that is right at the center of Indianapolis), Michael Jordan, Ken Griffy Jr., Shaq O'Neal, etc.

@monty2654 Are you being obtuse in purpose!?!? I did not say a desire for freedom and free expression was a hivemind! Stop twisting my words!
"If you're having trouble deciding which side to be on. .."
I'm not, I already chose. I am not going to ally with either of the two bigger ones, as they both just enlarge the government in their own ways and make the problem worse.
"Fence sitters"
Implying I did not make up my mind.
"... Deserve to endure every s### storm that comes from not helping."
See, that attitude is precisely why I don't ally with either one. Thank you for showing your true colors. I do not cooperate with people that hate me all because I dare not conform completely.
Also, Help in what way to prevent evil? A vote for a candidate that will just bait and switch, go back on his or her word, enlarge the government further, perpetuate war, etc. like what happens every election cycle? Yeah, because a slave suggestion box totally helped thus far, right? Look around you. Even indulging some modicum of success, it gets reversed eventually.
I'm not "doing nothing." I'm running an IPFS node even now to help keep some literature censorship resistant. It is not much, but it is something. That is just one example of what I do.
I am not a fence-sitter, I am just smart enough to know that any "alliance" would mean being thrown under the bus or otherwise backstabbed once I have outlived my usefulness to said "allies," just like the last time it was tried.

@monty2654 "What difference can you actually make from either withholding or throwing your vote away?" What difference will the vote make if it is just going to either backfire, be ignored, or see any progress be reversed? Explain that, first.
"How can hold anybody accountable, otherwise?"
How would they be held accountable by repeating the exact same cycle they benefit from over and over again? No matter which way you vote, it doesn't matter. If they want to push a policy, they will scare everyone into following along. They have done it before, and they will do it again so long as we keep enabling them with the ballot. Were you not even paying attention to the part where I said they can just wait until practically everyone forgets about their misdeeds and get elected, anyway? That was one of the things I said. Please, pay attention.
"We’re being backstabbed on such a monumental level now."
Because, the backstabbers have no incentive to do otherwise. They know that so long as they keep everyone scared into going to the ballot against the other party (whichever one that might be), they don't have to do squat. There is no point to a vote if they know they can just say "Oh, but that other side is worse" and get their blind sheep suckered in because of it.
"You’re going to have come up better than this."
Not the ballot. Doing the same thing over and over while expecting a different result is beyond asinine. The burden of proof is not on me, it is on you to justify the current thing, stop dodging it.
"I’m pretty confident others will want to know, especially since you have it “figured out”, no?"
I do not purport to know everything, stop strawmanning me. Since you asked what I think might help, here are some examples: Stop participating in this exercise in masochism. Civilly disobey. Take some activities (including economic ones) underground if you have to. The more communities that form to rely on its own members instead of politicians, the less control Congress will have over everything due to the sheer numbers of groups the FBI would be hard pressed to crack down on. The reason we keep losing is because we keep feeding into the system that is used to destroy everything we hold dear. To put a stop to this, we need to break off from it.
In4b "muh civil war," keep in mind the armed forces are getting weaker and weaker with all the woke crap that gets spewed in there. Even if they weren't the idea is to exhaust their law enforcement over time to where their policies become unenforceable.

@fellowish 1. Doesn't matter. No income means no reason to buy the product, which means the oroducets of ut will still ultimately lose out. Also, stop pretending as if profit is not a motive for anyone aside from corporations. Profit is simply the benefit outweighing the cost.
2. Then, why are the people getting "paid less" able to afford everyday items that were previously deemed luxury goods, such as microwaves? Income is only a small part of this. You also have to look at the purchasing power and the supply and demand.
3. What capitalism? The state's been interfering in the market from day one. At best, what you have is a mixed economy, a combination of market and command economic systems. Again, profit is just the benefit outweighing the cost, so stop talking about it as if you yourself do not seek any, you hypocrite.
4. How? Keep in mind, banks did not always exist, and much of their more positive functions are already being employed in a decentralized manner by way of Defi within the cryptocurreny industry. The only thing keeping banks from being innovated out of existence is the government's attempts to essentially outlaw cryptocurrencies.
Of anything, decentralization would actually help the economy, because at that point people would not be limited by force to just one means of exchange when better options are available. Not to mention, there would be an incentive to keep the supply limited so as to maintain the valueof it, thus maintaining everyone's purchasing power.
But, hey. If you want to perpetually screw yourself over by maintaining the very same corporatist system where central banks and corpo-favored regulations exist, be my guest.
