       @p @veinglory Great fugue, love that one!In my experience, I find his first keyboard concerto a great work for someone either just getting into Bach or while not having much of an interest in classical music wants something approachable:Recordings:https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=9Nx09pigZRI&t=1083 (Glenn Gould Broadcast)https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=ljLi9A0H8H4 (full concerto)One of my favorite fugues is Bach's 8-voice "Credo in unum Deum" from his Mass in B Minor:https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=lglZx9SMDB0&t=3027

       @Countermeasures @judgedread @TrevorGoodchildTucker Carlson is being morphed into the unofficial official leader of the modified limited hangout of Tradcuck Christian America. He is there to co-opt the language of whatever remnant of Christianity still exists in this country and ensure that it remains universalist and anti-White.His job is to absorb whatever anger and energy generated by the Iran war and the Epstein files and redirect it away from the kikes towards official "traditional" Christian teaching, that is, tradition as approved by the priests subjected to kike vetting.Everyone failed to notice the real purpose of Tucker Carlson's interview with the NY Times, which was to frame right-wing opposition to Israel in Universalist, non-jew-threatening terms.People also forgot how Tucker sided against January 6th, or that he ate bugs on television during the height of Team A power/Covid hysteria.https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=CLz5KH5ba2w

       There are three kinds of Christianity: Modernist/Conservative/TraditionalModernist/Conservative Christianity is satanic. Traditional Christianity is faithful, though as a Traditional Christian of course I would say that.Since I am Eastern Orthodox, I will use Orthodox figures to corroborate my position, but this distinction applies to all different branches of Christianity, and to religion in general in the modern age.Modernist Christianity:The official postchristian state-approved version of Christianity espoused by academia, used to allow elites and the near-elites of various historically-Christian nations to retain some semblance of the faith while passing university vetting. Unbelief without atheism, the faith for upper-class and upper-middle-class people.Orthodox Examples: Ware, Alfeyev, Elpidophoros, Bulgakov, SchmemannConservative Christianity:The official postchristian state-approved opposition version of Christianity espoused by controlled opposition figures, used by the regime to generate funding and support for regime-controlled seminaries and to breed cannon fodder for the armed forces. Feigns tradition through nominal opposition towards abortion and deviancy while upholding the fundamental structural institutions of the regime such as feminism and modern female education, keeping it universalist and non-state-threatening. The faith catered for middle-class and working-class people.Orthodox Examples: Patriarch Kirill, Josiah Trenham, Ilyin, FlorovskyTraditional Christianity:The historical faith as was normative and practiced prior to World War I and the fall of Third Rome, advocating a Christian unitary theocratic state under divine right, governed by traditional Canon Law. Prohibited by modern secular democratic states with regime-controlled seminaries trained to spot and fail seminarians. Ostensibly nonexistent, yet its limited theoretical existence necessitates the regime to tolerate Conservative Christianity as a barrier to a potential state-threatening rebirth. The faith for true believers, ideological purists, political dissidents and radicals.Orthodox Examples: Seraphim Rose, Pobedonostsev, Nechvolodov, StǎniloaeDo note that there are figures who bridge or attempt to bridge the various categories, but these categories still stand.Figures such as Stephen Damick are ideologically Modernist yet lean Traditional to appeal to their cannon fodder demographic.Figures such as Jay Dyer or Peter Heers are ideologically Conservative yet lean vaguely Traditional, thus they have a platform even after having failed vetting. Actual Traditional Christians are silenced and banned from their churches if outspoken.Do note that while the “Rudder,” the ecclesial Canon Law of the Orthodox Church, is published, the full Nomocanon, the full “Kormchaya Kniga,” containing all aspects of ecclesial and common AND civil law has never been translated into English.One main key difference between Modernist/Conservative and Traditional Christianity is the following:Modernist/Conservative Christianity is postchristian and is antinomian. Good and evil are suggestions, not to be enforced, and the heaven/hell distinction is blurred.Traditional Christianity is theocratic and thus anti-antinomian. Good and evil are commands, to be enforced, and the heaven/hell distinction is absolute.There are various tests for distinguishing a Conservative Christian from a Traditional Christian, and a Modernist Christian from a Conservative Christian, but that is not the subject of this discussion. These categories exist to illustrate a sociological phenomenon within Christianity in modern democracies.

       @madcuzbad @Starprophet @Sovereign @FF777 There is always tension between what elites should do versus what they can do.Many kings were decadent like Henry I, or virtuous like George III. In Russia, there was Peter I on one end, Nicholas II on the other end.The problem is that when elites become decadent, they lose moral legitimacy and the ability to command men. There is a reason why it took under a century between the completion of Versailles to the French Revolution.Sometimes, decadent men need to be castrated, drawn and quartered, broken on the wheel and then hanged, as exemplified following the Tour de Nesle scandal, which also ended the courtly love filth that arose around the time of Eleanor of Aquitaine. If Louis XIV had focused on curbing the excesses of the nobility in that manner and less focused on domesticating his nobles and crafting a degenerate pleasure palace, perhaps history could have gone in quite a different direction.Decadence kills legitimacy. The French nobility found that out the hard way.There is a reason why Hitler remained unmarried and had one woman who was his de facto private and eventual tragic wife. Or why Napoleon abolished women’s rights despite being the product of the Revolution.Elon is who he is, but then again, American democracy is illegitimate and evil, so it is not like he stands out among the elite.

       @madcuzbad @Starprophet @Sovereign @FF777 Correct, there is no reason to admire him. Elon found that out the hard way when his deficit reduction project was sidelined and ignored — power requires gravitas and moral legitimacy, and Elon used up all of the former, and never had any of the latter.

       @madcuzbad @Starprophet @Sovereign @FF777 Modern weimerican democratic so-called "elites" make the French nobility of the late 18th century seem modest in comparison. I look forward to when they face consequences such that their end makes the end of the French nobility seem equally modest in comparison.

       @StarProphet @7073M @DrFell Prelest not only describes a state of false holiness or deluded self-righteousness but also a mentality meant to encourage the believer to check himself. Even the faithful have some degree of prelest, because our ego, pride, or false beliefs can blind us to our own sins.>Actually understanding real Christianity requires reading massive tomes of all the Church Fathers in whole. Then looking how they compiled the Bible, and what their justifications were. A feat as difficult as understanding heat transfer and fluid flow in a nuclear reactor and a cryogenic rocket engine.There are Christians who spend their entire lives studying theology, but we need to be careful.In the early 20th century, there were two unofficial schools of theological thought, the Modernist and Traditional approaches to theology. After the Second World War, the Traditional approach was effectively purged from academia in the West. In Orthodoxy, the last genuinely traditional theologian trained in academia was Staniloǎe, Seraphim Rose was a monastic, and Staniloǎe was trained in Germany before the Second World War.For someone not interested in theology, I will explain it as follows:The Traditional approach to theology is what actual Christians believe.The Modernist approach to theology is the ideology the regime uses to vet the top priests, theologians, and figures within Church hierarchy.If we are to say that American Christians are bad at theology, it misunderstands the problem as a whole. The reason why American Christianity survives at all is because they are bad at theology—it is a feature, not a bug, because if every Christian were knowledgeable on modern theology, Christianity would be as dead here as it is in Western Europe.You never hear about theologians like Karl Barth, because no one who agrees with him is going to bother to advocate for his work.Paula White is not bad compared to what comes out of modern academia, and that is why she still has an audience at all. Paula White is the difference between Christianity in America and Christianity in Sweden.

       @StarProphet @DrFell @7073M To be fair, it did take almost two decades for ZOG to force the Roman Catholics to abandon traditional Catholicism and implement Vatican II. And Orthodox Christians were shielded by the iron curtain, given that Bolshevism was partially defanged following Khrushchev's de-Stalinization reforms.We have to be careful, because if all of the hierarchs came out and started putting up gay flags and openly worship sluts and faggots, then the faithful would empty and begin setting up new churches outside of ZOG's jurisdiction with hierarchs eager to escape their wicked overseers.So in order for it to work, they have to play the game, and so do we.I see you linked GnomeRad from Twitter — that issue is part of that dynamic.The Modernists want Orthodoxy to be pro-slut and pro-faggot. The Feminists want to do the crime of being whores without doing the time of actual repentance and the acceptance of lower status.Actual Christians want traditional families, in particular the wave of young converts fleeing modern American Christianity, so the Modernists want them ostracized and excommunicated.It is important to remember that Modernists are actually atheists, because they do not worship God, they worship themselves.

       @StarProphet @judgedread I did not read it in full, though I understand what had happened.I notice that his official location is set from New England, of course.Antinomian faggots fear public shaming, which is why it works.

       @madcuzbad @StarProphet @ShowMeYourLibrary I sure hope not.Every single day I am more and more convinced that we ought to test the flammability of these simps and other modernists.Not at the stake though.Gasoline is more modern.

       @StarProphet @judgedread @judgedread Stephen de FaggotHe has been morbidly obese for a long time.Let me explain:The only reason why we hear about Orthodoxy today is because the internet has given traditionalists a platform, in the same way that 25 years ago the only person correctly identifying the real reasons for the Iraq war was William Luther Pierce, but now one can log onto Twitter and find tens of thousands pointing out the obvious.In the United States, Orthodoxy is over a hundred years old.But why has no one heard of it?Because Orthodoxy was effectively neutralized in the early-to-mid 20th century by the Modernist faction (they call themselves conservative and traditionalist) under various theologians. You don’t need to know all of their names, or their official platforms. Just know that the internet is the only reason why anyone cares about Orthodoxy at all, and why the few traditionalist exceptions over the past 100 years have traction today.As such, the church would never spread, because the expats would become modernists, and children of converts would figure it out and leave.Just know that their main seminary is located in Crestwood, New York, in the same district that elected Jamaal Bowman.The main goal behind Stephen de Faggot is to bring in retards to make the faith look stupid and disgusting, as his obesity is the point. It is a common tactic, and further lends credence that Tucker is not our friend, but our enemy.

       Some corrections:I would remove Ivan Ilyin and Georges Florovsky from the Conservative list and add John Meyendorff instead.Ilyin was not an Orthodox theocrat, so he does not fit neatly into the Traditional Christian category; at the same time, he was not fully conservative in the modern sense. Florovsky, by contrast, was primarily focused on theology, which makes his placement on the Conservative list less appropriate.These categorizations are not meant to be rigid. For instance, one could argue that Schmemann belongs on the Conservative list just as much as on the Modernist list. It is also worth noting that everyone on this list self-identifies as “traditional,” even the modernists.I recognize that my categorizations are loosely defined and may be open to interpretation. I may refine this framework further in the future.
