Hertling: His comments about putting hands back on recruits… We moved away from that 30 years ago because it’s ineffective…

You know where it didn’t go away? The Russian army.

Now that I am retired, getting older increasingly feels as if everyone and everything is receding from me. I am far from the first older person to notice this. But as the space clears, other things rush in.

Recent patriotic frenzy offers an opportunity to reappraise Blake’s song Jerusalem and the nationalistic impulse so many find in it.”

TLDR ‘progressive patriotism’ has all the moral advantages of alcohol-free lager, but with none of the taste.

And what religion was it that made the pre-Christian world exist based overwhelmingly on slavery? While allowing unwanted children to be discarded? And killing slaves and criminals for entertainment in the arena?

And are we supposed to believe that Christians also talked the (atheist) Bolsheviks into the mass murder of even more people?

You’d think with Christians being so very persuasive, they might be more influential these days.

Christians talked atheists into committing the Holocaust? How stupid and impressionable were these atheists, exactly?

What is it that stops people from being a mass murderer, exactly? And why didn’t it stop the entire German people as soon as atheists were in control?

Traveller in the Evening @andyw23.bsky.social · Aug 24

No religious group has ever organised mass murder in the scale of the atheist Nazis and Bolsheviks. That’s just a fact.
