    It is just clear that pagans (non-abrahamics) in the ancient world and ‘pagans’ (post-abrahamics) in the modern world were thousands of times more effective than abrahamists, who by and large manufactured ignorance and superstition.

    NO. ROME HAD NO ‘PRIESTS’ AS WE UNDERSTAND IT

    1) “Priests” had no doctrine only obligatory rituals (the japanese ritual model). The monarchy originally performed the rituals, then appointed patricians, but the duty was separated under the republic because of scale. All that I know of were a variation on sacrifice (contract).

    2) To equate “the performance of ritual”, when it was not required they even understand the words they spoke, only that they performed the ritual precisely, with ‘priesthood’ as ‘a competitor to the state’ or means of state sponsored deception, is more than a mischaracterization.

    3) A professional priesthood in the sense I use it (education in doctrine under pretense of divine authority) as a competitor to the state (see Huntington’s history mesopotamia) rather than archetypes and anthropomorphic instantiations of nature, was an import.

    4) Alexander should be heralded for his techniques and cursed for his introduction of semitism and supernaturalism to old europe. Thankfully the romans were as skeptical of those religions as they were of greek sophisms.

    5) once you start looking at history as the battle between western truth and law for aristocracy and it’s domestication of animal man, and semitic occultism and sophism for the expansion of production by the underclasses, the cycles of history are much more obvious.

    6) Masculine western truth, duty, reciprocity, and empirical law, eastern masculine hierarchical and empirical bureaucracy, and semitic feminine fictional rule of flood river production. Everything comes back to geography, climate, means of production, and degree of neoteny.

    —“Incentive matters, and so does signalling.”—

    by William L. Benge

    Pompei fled to regroup, and to afterward take over by conquest the empire we know as Rome. When the internal war was settled, those hardened on Pompei’s side were made examples of… it was a first when the decision on the field was to raise them on pikes all along the route back to Rome. This became an adopted standard for execution.

    Any action beyond permissive by an authority is deemed harsh by a criminal.

    Crime requires disincentives be in place. Incentive matters, and so does signalling.

    COLLAPSE: A SYNCHRONICITY OF ACCUMULATED BUBBLES

    by Martin Štěpán

    I understand the cycle of civilizations is that the decadence/decline phase is characterized by inflating various bubbles such as misandry bubble (feminism), underclass bubble (subsidy of the reproduction of the unemployed), immigration bubble and so on and due to their interconnectedness, they all pop at the same time which is when civilization ends.

    This could be avoided if we manage to pay the costs upfront (such as letting the unemployed die out and giving up potential economic benefits of immigration).

    The resurrection was added much later and copied from a babylonian source. There are no records of testimony from the period, nor records of his existence. We know the origin of the three days narrative, and we know the origin of the rising from the dead narrative. These were added later by other authors. Saul (Paul) made up most of it, from what was possibly a real person who was rebelling against the use of the temple to raise more money – the roman occupation and the introduction of roman gods meant that temple revenues had decreased rapidly, so the priests were ‘drumming up new business’ and it seems likely some zealot rebelled and was imprisoned and killed for it. But there are no ‘testimonies’ and every pretense of testimony we have appears to be a fabrication.

    It is just clear that pagans (non-abrahamics) in the ancient world and ‘pagans’ (post-abrahamics) in the modern world were thousands of times more effective than abrahamists, who by and large manufactured ignorance and superstition, causing the Abrahamic Dark Age of ignorance and dragging every civilization it touched into collapse.
