    The other thing this thread is missing out is what is wrong with satanism?

    There is an excellent doc called "hail Satan?"
    It's very much focussed around religious freedom they seem like a mostly really decent bunch unlike a lot of religions.

    Speaking about mass immigration is "racist"

    Thinking there are only two genders is some kind of crazy idea.
    Free speech is "racist" "bigoted" etc.

    It's interesting that you left the whole subject of homosexuality off your otherwise comprehensive list of bad things.

    I fully agree. That is why I don`t vote anymore, there are no suitable candidates. Even in certain referendums, I find myself precluded by the question posed.

    E.g. Do you favour more liberal divorce.

    Only people who favour divorce can answer yes or no to that question.

    Yes. Democracy such as it was has all but died. Now we're practically China. There is only one party to choose from- and they're only getting started on the slippery slope.

    It sounds like hyperbole. Market traders flourish on the ignorance of people. That's how Wall Street makes it's money. Belief in a market peaks just before a crash. Same thing applies in politics and culture. No-one will admit we're sliding into chaos. Until long after the fact has become blatantly obvious. Actually we're already there as far as I'm concerned. Go to Balbriggan- I haven't been there admittedly but they've been on the news- Gangs of "new Irish" are causing havoc there.

    Don't get me wrong. It's the indigenous Irish that I'm more prejudiced against than any other group. I'm one of them so there you go. I think we Irish left on this island are in general indeed a bit thick. And a little bit evil too. I think it's a choice more than anything else. We choose to be thick and evil.

    There's a saying that traders have- "Don't believe anything until it's been officially denied."

    Please define thick and evil, as I don't think I, or many irish fit this description?

    I get it that there's no clean cut exact way to put a wrapper on what's going on and call it all by one name. That would never be the case. Best we can do is approximate. Marxism fits the bill that way.

    "We're all the same" kind of idea. That's at the heart of Marxism.

    Satan ain't too bad if it was pazuzu I'd be worried, pazuzu is more insidious and can catch u off guard with being a creep and very cryptic.
    Satan is more into tempting you of satisfying your selfish desires and thoughts... He'll invite you to a party, while pazuzu will just kidnap your sanity and scare the bejazus out of you.
    Give me satan any day

    No, it's "We're all the same where by same we mean lowest common denominator except us the elite that make the rules and if you disagree up to the force labor camp yo go", the heart of Marxism in a couple of lines.

    So I ll go with my own interpretation, we Irish are probably of average intelligence, and evil, what the hell does that even mean

    ...and why mention Marxism at all, we re obviously also an average free market economy

    Fun fact:

    The concept of Hell as a place where demons shove pitchforks up your hole, does not exist in the bible (or any of the chritsian texts).

    In the broadest sense, "Hell" is the state of not being at one with God. This may be interpreted as being "alive" in the other realm, but not being with God, but it can also have many other possible meanings - such as simply remaining dead while believers are resurrected to everlasting life.

    Nothing mentions, eternal, active torture at the hands of Satan. This imagery of fire, brimstone and physical torture, all became very popular and widespread with priests around the same time as Christianity started allowing people to buy absolution with money or labour. Funny coincidence that.

    Absolutely. It's all a complete farce to make the elite more powerful. Masses of slave droids are required to run the show.

    In other words, someone has spotted the flaw in your logic and youre not able to cover it up, so throw in the word 'leftie',, make up your own argument and ignore the one presented and thus block debate on the real issue.

    And you wonder why you were banned from the other thread?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Satan was running the country when the Catholic church was in charge. Why else the priests and nuns committed their atrocities with the church covering for them? Is it not the Satan's plan to destroy the church?

    Today the Satan is obsolete, just like the church. Hallelujah!

    All this thread serves to prove is that the OP has no understanding of either Marxism, or our current society. Get out more Gemma and stop hanging out with randy heroin junkies looking for their kids back.

    Perhaps Yuri Bezmenov KGB defector has a better understanding of Marxism than either you or I...

    this is not new sadly
    yes folks, the devil is quite real and he's getting desperately powerful
    but God and Holy Mary are real too and she will crush the head of the serpent. but not without our willing support and Love.
    idle minds has let the tentacles creep across the land to pierce our children's hearts
    we are already enslaved to joyless pursuits
    countless attacks on the/our/your church going unpunished (yet) the evil one has his agents in it surely but it is them that needs removing and destruction not the whole thing
    meanwhile nobody is switching off their tv despite all that's involved in that industry
    look at poland, Hungary and other countries, they are returning to the faith and prospering for it


    Michel Rodrigue (i think thats his name?) spoke recently of this, as did our own fr pat collins, something is happening and people can sense it

    you would have to be a dumbass not to sense it

    all the new age spirituality trending now is just Godseeking whilst trying to keep the human ego.

    the average Catholic is a good person, i know its fashionable to attack them but they're not the enemy

    No one attacks catholics - people attack the establishment. Important difference.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.
