oh you <3

"It worked for thousands of years and it's only recently..."
Let me stop you right there. The nuclear family is a largely modern invention, too. For thousands of years you've had people marrying off their children for dowries or political power, often never to see them again. Single parents aren't some brand new thing that never existed before 1950. Homosexuals are able to be who they are more openly, but they've existed for thousands of years, too, had children, raised children. The world keeps on turning. The world is better now than it has ever been. In most of the world there's demonstrably less disease, less hunger, less crime, and supposedly more happiness. Shit is only "going wrong" in the eyes of hatemongers who are being criticized for shitting on people they don't like.

There's people practicing virtually every religion who are adapting to the times, and at the same time there are people practicing virtually every religion that uses that religion as an excuse for barbarism. The Dalai Lama and his fellow monks used Buddhism to excuse a theocratic dictatorship in Tibet for many years. They weren't exactly adapting to modern times. Any religion can do this. Christians did it for a long time, and there are still Christian fundamentalist groups that resort to violence out there to this day.

The post is from /pol/ and says chivalry, so yes chivalry. That's their own words. But, the idea that there was ever some universal sense of honor in the world that magically vanished recently is laughable. People got into fights, beat each other up or killed each other, and their families feuded for decades. There has been violence and broken promises since the beginning of human history. Seeking a future where honor is widespread is a noble goal, but /pol/ imagines that such a time once existed and is now gone because people exist who disagree them. They also imagine they're the only ones who possess these qualities of honor and loyalty. They're, quite plainly, wrong.

Expressing pride in your tradition and heritage is fine. The problem with /pol/ is that they do so with a hefty dose of shitting all over traditions and heritage that is different from their own. If you're brown and wear a turban, you're a shitskin. if you hold different values, even if they don't actually harm anyone, you're a nigger or an SJW, or otherwise a degenerate. /pol/ threads are filled with comments like how at least they're not niggers or how Obama is an uppity nigger. That's not expressing pride, that's expressing hate.

The thing is, I'm not being a dick. My problem with /pol/ and their assorted horeshit is that they're the ones being dicks about it, like all the fucking time. They're not racists because they're proud of their heritage, they're racists because they spend an indorinate amount of time talking about how inferior and awful other races are.

Third rule of knife fighting: Don't let your opponent know you have a fucking knife.

If you pull your knife, you damn well better have it go straight into the fucker.

Second rule of knife fighting: Don't fucking drop your knife.

Yes.
When I pull out my knife because someone is threatening my life. I will ask him to stop so I can twiddle it in his face....

If you pull your knife, you damn well better have it go straight into the fucker.

She's a minister, though. She doesn't NEED peoples' trust. And, from my experience, people don't give a rats ass how a person looks or acts as long as it benefits them. If her actions and reforms are beneficial to people (especially financially), they're gonna be fine with her.
