Tias posted:The point that I (and wiccans AFAIK) was trying to make, is that Wicca IS a syncretic system, with practices that incorporate both hermetic esotericism (way older than the fifties) and revivalist mother earth/father sky worship (which at least tries to reconstitute something much, much older). So are you backing off of your claim that it can claim "direct lineage" to ancient tradition?

Tiny Brontosaurus posted:When you write words down on the internet other people can read them, smugwitch: To be fair, that post might just be claiming that the direct lineage is to that specific hermetic order from the 19th century, which could be true and is also not really an impressive claim. "I claim direct lineage to something within the last century!"

e X posted:Kind of a problem when your rulership is based on family relation. You want to keep the family small, otherwise you have to share the power with too many people. And of course, the other families also don't look kindly on your family spreading too wide. Just look at the clusterfuck that was the Habsburg-France rivalry. I think this was, at least in part, so that the European powers would be less likely to go to war if they knew that they were going to be fighting their family members and having to awkwardly explain themselves to grandma Victoria at the royal family reunion. It was such a great plan that WWI happened. That's what happens when you leave international policy to the Habsburg Hillbillies, I guess.

ArchangeI posted:Well, that's a bit too easy. One of the major players of the start of the war (France) was a republic, and they certainly didn't have to be dragged into the war kicking and screaming. Austria's Kaiser had no relations to the rest of the extended Victoria family. Every singe monarch had a government who advised him, and most of them counseled war. The royals of the day certainly aren't blameless (Wilhelm II most of all), but they are by no means solely or even mostly responsible for the war breaking out. Considering that I did zero research of any kind before making my post, I'd say that analysis is more than fair.

I like to imagine that it's the same Friar from Much Ado and that he's either emboldened by the success of his plan in that one and thinks faking her death will work again. OR Much Ado comes after, and he's already had to move to a different city and change his name but old habits die hard…

ZombieLenin posted:At Spotsylvania Court House Virginia, on May 9th, 1864 the 6th corps of the union Army of the Potomac was probing the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia's prepared entrenchments following the Battle of the Wilderness. While union troops and artillery moved into position, a group of Confederate sharpshooters (the 19th century version of snipers) noticed a group of Union officers, and opened fire on them when they came within 1,000 yards. "What are you gonna do, snipe me?"

Helith posted:France still owns a lot of countries and territories around the world such as New Caledonia and French Polynesia, they could be referring to that. Ah, I didn't realize France still actively owned all those places. I guess I thought it was kind of like a British type situation where it was all sort of culturally French but distinct entities.

TooMuchAbstraction posted:I would have sworn immaculate conception was Jesus, not Mary. Immaculate Conception and Virgin Birth get conflated a lot in pop culture. Probably doesn't help that the "conception" part makes it sound like it should be part of the same thing and the idea that Mary was born free of sin is not really a thing in protestant tradition.

Carthag Tuek posted:as far as i can tell, there are two main reasons that they didn't keep it secret. I remember first hearing about this case when I was watching recording of Michael Sandel's justice course. He'd opened the lecture with three versions of the trolley problem just to get conversation going (the whole thing was done in a kind of Socratic style) and then pivoted right into utilitarianism and this case. I thought it was pretty well done tbh
