      Levine would have been a OTH in the 1980s Navy.
      It was like fight club then.
      You don't talk about gay and you get to keep your scrambled eggs caps.
      Oh and Captain Swishbuckle was a good ships captain in the 80s.
      Except for the enlisted that would not play cabin boy with him.
      I did manage 4 years of good conduct. But I was not cabin boy material. Then this never got married to a woman, chief took over my section.
      Maybe it was because I and the 1st class Helmsman were buds. However we were not bunk buddies.
      When we pulled into port I would have one beer in a gay bar with him and leave.
      Even after I got married. Yep to a woman.
      It was not like the 'Beef & Gravy' LT Commander that did get married for show. Then got divorced and did not pay child support. Because there was no child.

    • @ShaggyRogers1
      @ShaggyRogers1 Місяць тому +4

      The court jester history is a little more complicated. The jester was the only person who was not allowed to be punished for anything they said, because "they were only joking". Hence, the jester became the only person at court who could insult the king, his policies, and speak the truth on most major issues, without fear of being punished for not just following whatever the king has said. The jester insulted everyone, including the king, and the reaction of the crowd is what the ruler would use as a litmus test as the true sentiment.
      If a general appointed by the local King was disastrous and lost their army to starvation right after leaving, the nobility at court would still not be allowed to criticize the appointment of said general since it was the king. The jester could make fun of the general's outcome and point out why they were such a poor choice, with no fear of direct punishment. It is a historical lesson on why free speech is necessary for stability, since unrest would just be in the shadows instead of visible and addressable.

      No, Goebbels would have booted all the queer trans woke stuff off twitter. The only difference between classical liberals and fascists really is that fascists don't believe that the average person can make good decisions for himself. The fascists saw what the communists did and said, "That's some BS. You can't do that." and then they forcefully stopped the communists from doing their BS. Then they turn to the liberals and said, "You allowed this to happen." The main reason that you don't like fascists is that the communists won the war and they own our media. But if you look at the behavior of "leftists" today, you'll begin to wonder whether the fascists weren't right about human nature.

Others are shadow-banned and they still appear, but only to this account, not my others when I check (no likes, no responses go to check. Yep. Invisible to other accounts but I see them on this one.) They have certain trigger words that if I mention them = auto delete. And I am talking actual historical organizations, names, and actions from 1800s American politics. Mention them and tell people to research and compare to today. Comment gone instantly. So either they have a censor on my account 24/7/365 or they use AI bots to compile trigger words on every account. It's different words (whatever you talk about a lot that disagrees with their world view) for different people/accounts.

      "Religion" is such a broad term that virtually no generalizations can be applied to the "whole". Actually it was the West (Christendom) who first created the tradition that the court jester had immunity for what he said. He could be fired, but he couldn't be prosecuted or punished. Before that you would have to go back to the court of King David, where the prophet Dathan could convict the king of sin, and the king repented. Protestantism created the modern libertarian west. We (Protestants) ended slavery; implemented religious freedom, political freedom, academic freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of the press FIRST, and thus caused the academic, scientific, technological, and material progress that followed; and most of the rest of the world hasn't caught up with it yet. John 8:32 "You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”
      And what do you propose as an alternative? Atheism? As an antidote to ideological murder, that has a singularly abysmal track record. From the Jacobin Reign of Terror in the French Revolution, through the Soviet Union, the Third Reich, Communist China, and the Pol Pot regime; the result of a society based on atheism has invariably been bloodbath after bloodbath. The USSR alone murdered more of its own civilians than have ever been killed in all the inquisitions, pogroms, and purely religious wars in recorded history, and they only lasted: what? 80 or so years? The side that tries settle a question of fact by the use of force is the obscurantist side, every time. That's your side.

      The best snakes are subtle. Not out in the open for all to see that they are snakes.
      Most will not see them, because they seem to be on their team. Jesus said "be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves", showing us serpents are not stupid and out in the open evil for all to see.
      Subtle trickery, making people trust them is what subtle snakes do. Eve trusted a serpent, that seemed to want the best for her.
      Jesus even warned subtle serpents would teach in Church pretend to even be pastors and warned of deception from people who seem to be even Christians, but are not. Really the whole open evil stuff makes people more blind to the subtle snakes.
      This is the best time for ever for satan to get a big foot in the door, as all he has to do is expose the out in the open evil. and his followers goes unnoticed, and become trusted people mixing in with clueless believers. They even are seen as some sort of heroes/saviours who expose out in the open evil, while they lead the flock astray.
      2 Corinthians 11:14-15
      And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
      Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
