Is voting conservative essentially a fuck-you-to-civi-society vote? Basically slytherin

    Well that’s a weird direction to go in. I’m pretty sure the pope has almost nothing to do with this, and hasn’t for a couple hundred years. It’s the corporate aristocracy that’s the problem. In the west at least, the church is basically irrelevant these days.

      It’s not weird when you look into the history of the Catholic Church, and read writings from the likes of J.A. Wylie, H.G. Guinness, E.B. Eliot, and others of the like, who knew exactly what the beast system was, and still is.

        My guy, it is the Common Era 2026. You’re talking about circumstances that haven’t existed since the 19th century. Western Europe and North America are almost entirely divorced from the Roman Catholic church, and that era of Vatican leadership is all but gone. South American Liberation Catholics have more influence over the modern Holy See than that faction of Catholicism, and Protestant Evangelicalism and Russian Orthodoxy are the current biggest threats to western civilization. You’re scared of a minority among a minority with little modern relevance. The LDS church alone has more wealth and power than all of Catholicism combined, and you’re worried about a tiny sub-sect of ultra-conservative Catholics pulling strings? They may have a stronger presence in Eastern Europe, but they’re utterly irrelevant outside that sphere.

          What is the relevancy of that? It’s all tied to the Vatican, all things considered. Heck, it’s tied to the Jesuit Superior General, who makes this stuff happen, and multiple generals before him planned it way in advance.
