Nobody is saying that they are peace loving guys.
But the zionists aren't any better, there is nothing that can justify the rapes and the genocide the US and particularly the zionists do.
"we all witnessed them dragging their own citizens into the street and summarily executing them for supposed “collaboration.” "
No we did not because most of us try not to consume Mossad propaganda.
If you think that starving children, and settlers killing kids is a "justice system",
If you think that stealing and destroying Lebanon is what the "civilized world" does,
If you do not think that October 7 was the clear reaction to being starved to death,
Then your definitions of civilization and justice are just fucked up.
St. Xavier is quite closer to modern Saints than to any "Saint" of old, and a lot of saints are Martyrs that suffered under empires that are much closer to America than anything.
This is a stupid comparison please go tip your Fedora somewhere else or try to be at least intelligent about it. Most saints were not warmongerers lmao.
Additionally your comment ignores the whole context of what was ging on in Goa at a time but even the most scolding protestants do not see m to qualify St.Xavier to Genghis lmao.
For context:
The 26 Martyrs of Japan (Japanese: 日本二十六聖人, Hepburn: Nihon Nijūroku Seijin) were a group of Catholics who were executed by crucifixion on 5 February 1597, in Nagasaki, Japan. Their martyrdom is especially significant in the history of the Catholic Church in Japan.
A promising beginning to Catholic missions in Japan – with perhaps as many as 300,000 Catholics by the end of the 16th century – met complications from competition between the missionary groups, political difficulty between Portugal and Spain and factions within the government of Japan. Christianity was suppressed and it was during this time that the twenty-six martyrs were executed. By 1630, Catholicism had been driven underground. When Christian missionaries returned to Japan 250 years later, they found a community of "hidden Catholics" that had survived underground.
St. Xavier was likely just seeing the writing in the wall with that comment and probably wanted to avoid something akin to what happened.
Similarly perhaps maybe you have a bad concept of the inquisition based on years of (ironically enough) anglo imperial propaganda.
As a matter of fact the inquisition and similar catholic structures were preferred by people as they were more fair than the usual local court.
>The other punchline to the Gold joke is that it's finite. In 120 years it will begin to evaporate from existence as more and more gold chests are simply lost to time.
That's because it's actually quite sane; relying on commodity backed currencies - especially those which are _finite_ leads to deflation. You see that with BTC, where the value keeps rising and you need more and more fractional denominations to make sense. With gold (and historically, more so silver), it was _very rarely_ used for actual trade because it ended up being like five gold coins == someone's entire life savings. It was always silver, copper and unit of account.
Debased currency - a problem every large state eventually faced - is a consequence of deflation.
>Debased currency - a problem every large state eventually faced - is a consequence of deflation
Inflation in the monetary supply, not deflation, leads to the debasement of a currency. An example is how the influx of gold from the conquistadors into 16th century Spain led to inflation, due to the increased supply of this means of exchange resulting in the debasement in value of a given unit of this means of exchange.
Edit: I'd remembered wrong. It was silver, not gold, that Spain experienced an influx of.

No, that's not debasement - in fact it was the opposite, the huge supply of silver (not so much gold) meant those Spanish coins were good-quality bullion. Inflation happened, and while that can commonly be caused by debasement, that wasn't the cause in this instance.
I was more thinking in terms of the modern conception of currency debasement resulting from the increase in the monetary supply, though I think I must have just been thinking of the real, not the escudo. Several years ago, I read a couple of books on the conquistadors, where the details of the devaluation of silver was discussed, but it's been a while since the information was fresh in my mind.
Interesting take. Therefore they needed a bridge between the deflationary BTC and a low-inflationary day-to-day note. Is there an obvious fix, my liege?
About 20 years ago we found a true villain in France, when they dared to suggest that destroying Iraq was not a worthy response to 9/11
It was wild. Your below-average American went so far as rewriting their menus so they wouldn’t have to order “French fries” any longer. The pettiness was bottomless.
More recently the Paris accord has given these same below-average Americans angst because it dares offer introspection on the F150 lifestyle that will soon be coming to an end.
Paris is truly evil to dare challenge such mediocrity
Twitter was definitely always bad, but it's also definitely worse now. There are no adults in the room, it's obvious. I'm not sure I would describe the unique amalgamation of neo-fascists and bots that swarm every post on there now as political dissidents who finally have a crumb of a voice.
There is simply no place to discuss whether there is anything beside pregnant women, giving the space to this antiscientifical vocab in science is not a matter of discussion don't let the loonies run the asylum simple as
Lmao imagine just ignoring that Mercedes, bmw, porsche, Wolkswagen, Lotus, Mini, Audi, Skoda, Renault exist.
Even Japanese and Korean workers are getting better deals now, why would you suck the boot, specially only to let someone like Musk enjoy more soirees at Epstein's
the availibility of porn is correlated to people having less and less families, what are you talking about ?
Also the Japanese quite obviously do have porn albeit censored, no one thinks that changing that will help, if anything Japan needs to restrict acces to pron and virtualized or parasocial relationships.
While meta is quite horrible the behavior lol and what TikTok does is way way worse and specially different from what facebook twitter or Insta try to do.
