Continental Europe loved this type of larp meanwhile the british empire could have restored Constantinople twice but hated russia so much they preferred it stayed in turkish hands.

Plato's Republic contains an argument most people who cite it have never actually engaged with. Thrasymachus says justice is whatever benefits the stronger party. The powerful define what is right, and they define it in their favor. This is not cynicism in Plato's text. It is presented as the position to be defeated. Plato spends the rest of the Republic trying to defeat it. I think most honest readers find his counter-arguments less convincing than Thrasymachus. Not because Thrasymachus is right in a moral sense. But because his descriptive claim holds up remarkably well as a sociological observation. Legal systems, moral norms, institutional structures do tend to reflect the interests of the groups powerful enough to construct and maintain them. Machiavelli read Plato and essentially said yes, Thrasymachus is describing reality accurately. The question is not whether this is true. The question is what the man who understands it does with the knowledge. Does he use it to exploit? To protect himself? To build more durable systems? The answer separates the cynics from the strategists. Understanding how power actually works is not the same as endorsing it. It is the prerequisite for doing anything meaningful inside it.

I care more about transpacific alliances than transatlantic ones. Europe is nothing. China is the future.

Recebi, na tarde de hoje, mensagem de Sua Santidade o Papa Leão XIV, @Pontifex_pt. Ao sobrevoar o Brasil a caminho do Uruguai, o Papa Leão XIV invocou as bênçãos de Deus para que nossa nação seja agraciada com unidade e paz.
Agradeço de coração a mensagem de Sua Santidade. Que as bênçãos de Deus nos ajudem a governar para todos os brasileiros e que nossa nação siga unida rumo a um futuro de paz, esperança e justiça para todos.
Reitero o convite para que o Papa XIV visite o Brasil. O povo brasileiro receberá Sua Santidade com muito carinho, acolhimento e fé.

I am pro-life from conception to natural death. That's why I support Medicare for All, universal childcare, housing, and free education.
If you call women whores & oppose the very policies that help families thrive, you're not pro-life. You're pro-forced birth
For spinoza, activity (natura naturans) is tied to both attributes, not just to the intellect. Modes are passive by nature; being determinate multiplicities they can only ever be partially active.
Thinking natura naturans = intellect as curley seems to is a form of idealism.
Hate when a fundamental principle gets identified with one thing so strongly that people refuse to entertain that it really is fundamental. Yes there is linguistic evolution. Yes porn addiction is real. Evolution is not exclusive to life and addiction is not exclusive to drugs.
A sharp analysis of the problem with democracy from a Republican standpoint. This used to be common knowledge - in fact, the founding fathers made this very argument when they organized the Republic the way they did - but now populism is the predominant form of politics.

🚨 BOMBA NO BOLSONARISMO PARAGUAIO!
O presidente paraguaio Santiago Peña, o segundo maior aliado do bolsonarismo e de Donald Trump na América do Sul, atrás apenas do fracassado Javier Milei, acaba de perder o cargo por seu envolvimento no escândalo do Ueno Bank.
A crise começou ontem, quando descobriram que o Ueno Bank, que o presidente do Paraguai era acionista, tinha menos de 6% de todo o dinheiro que emprestou ou que seus clientes depositaram. Cerca de 60% da população paraguaia era cliente do banco.
Aí, o Banco Central interviu, parou as atividades do banco, a população do Paraguai foi tentar sacar seu dinheiro, não conseguiu e descobriu que a economia do país tava funcionando na base de dinheiro fictício.
E não para por aí. Além de ter sido acionista do Ueno Bank, o presidente paraguaio Santiago Peña colocou quase um BILHÃO de dólares do dinheiro público paraguaio no banco, incluindo o dinheiro da previdência paraguaia, dos aposentados do país.
O povo paraguaio, revoltado por ver seu dinheiro evaporar em um banco ligado ao Presidente do país, foi às ruas pedir o impeachment de Santiago Peña, que renunciou pra não sofrer consequências e a investigação de um processo de impeachment.
O que se mostra aqui é que o Paraguai, esse "paraíso" da Faria Lima, de quem é contra o investimento público e um governo que cuida das pessoas, tinha como presidente um homúnculo amaldiçoado feito da mistura das células do Daniel Vorcaro, do Flávio Bolsonaro e do Fernando Collor, e que veio ao mundo em um vômito de Donald Trump.
E o dinheiro do Paraguai, chamado de "Suíça" pelos bolsonaristas, tava nas contas de um Banco Master Paraguaio e na verdade era dinheiro de banco imobiliário.
Que nossas autoridades diplomáticas se atentem à calamidade social no Paraguai e façam tudo o que for necessário para que ela não atinja a população que vive no Brasil, e que o nosso país cumpra com a sua função de liderança do continente nesse momento.

This is not true.
Cardinal Ratzinger (future Pope Benedict XVI) explicitly states that one can vote for a candidate who supports abortion if there is proportionate reason.
Obviously, you cannot vote for someone BECAUSE they support abortion, but you can vote for them despite the fact that they support it.
This is because one would only be culpable for remote material cooperation with evil which Cardinal Ratzinger says “can be permitted in the presence of proportionate reason”.
Therefore, it is up to the individual to weigh whether or not there is proportionate to vote for a candidate who supports abortion. If one thinks that pointless wars, not placing America first, complacency with abortion, and other modern Republican positions proportionately outweigh the evil from voting Democrat, then under prayer, they may vote Democrat.
You cannot condemn someone to Hell based solely off of the fact that they voted blue. If you think that, then you have no right to lecture people on Catholic teaching.
