Follow me if you like shitposts about the historical cross-roads' between Abrahamic superstitions versus #Pagan religions and philosophies. I also post about news and politics of Soviet Canuckistan, 'Murica, and other such despotic regimes, particularly in relation to human rights in a digital and #infosec context. Apart from that, lots about #herbalism, #permaculture, tiny homes, cute Asian thots and other random BS as the whim strikes me. If you're gonna engage with me in a conversation, please bring something to the table that actually elevates the discussion. If you're just there to lob ad hominems, bitch about <insert racial slur>, cry about your place in the victim Olympics, or other such fuckwit antics, I'm gonna make fun of you mercilessly and when I get too bored, mute your account. Use your brain. https://youtu.be/AbhNeYxHJuw https://youtu.be/5sC7FSVm0Vg https://youtu.be/DLzxrzFCyOs GAT(!) !d(-) s: a++>?

The problem was lack of diversity of potato varieties, not the lack of other crops. There were loads of other crops grown, but all exported to England, because the Irish were essentially agricultural slaves of British land owners until 10 years prior to the famine.

For contrast, in Peru there are around 4,000 different varieties of potato adapted to a diversity of growing conditions, and an entire system of mythology and folk rituals designed to teach the proper manner of cultivation and maintenance of their distinct genetics from generation to generation.

You should read Eliphas Levi "Dogma and Ritual of High Magic" who is the original source for that image. He explains very clearly that the Baphomet symbol represents essentially the Western esoteric equivalent of Taichi (yin/yang), and that all the furious arm waving about it being Satanic is because regular Christians are violently superstitious lunatics. For instance...

"The symbolic head of the goat of Mendes is occasionally given to this figure, and it is then the Baphomet of the Templars and the Word of the Gnostics bizarre images which became scarecrows for the vulgar after affording food for thought to the sages, innocent hieroglyphs of thought and faith which have been a pretext for the rage of persecutions. How pitiable are men in their ignorance, but how they would despise themselves if once they came to know!"

I barely even know who this guy is, and I'm quite happy to keep it that way. But I see he made some negative comments about Trump, and if Trump decides to pull a Killary Clinton, I probably won't even notice much less lose any sleep over it.

> Pah, one can have a productive argument with any person who disagrees and wants to respond.

You must be new. There's a ubiquitous personality on fedi (which you can pretty much cut/paste as though they were poorly constructed AI bots) that just goes into random threads, calls everyone some racial slur (eg. nigger, street shitter, (((whatever))), etc), lobs some ad hominems or other personal attacks, often addressed to their fellow fuckwits instead of the person being spoken of, and then declares it a win without ever even addressing the argument or attempting to understand there's nuance beyond their own existing halfwit bigotry. Their culture is to move around in gangs to show up in a thread so they can bukkake all over the discussion as they wank each other off to the sounds of their own self congratulatory hurr durr's. Hence the term "Don't feed the trolls."

You can try to talk sense with these types of people, but you'll just end up wasting your time as they drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
