  • I’ve read an interesting book that suggests the apostle Paul, or Saul of Tarsus was a Roman plant, a double agent meant to divide the Christian sect.

    From his sudden conversion to all subversive things he wrote in his letters, it seems like he’s introduction subservience to Rome into the creed.

    Read in that manner, he would be amazed that not only the christians embraced those aspects of his, but that they in time managed to become the main faith of the Roman empire and supercede it by a mile.



  • Tbh Europeans of the start of the nineteenth century had this too, but with Napoleon.

    Who was turned away for losing and putting hundreds of thousands to their early grave. And then the king came back and they were like ‘oh this Napoleon guy wasn’t so bad after all.’

    And then Napoleon lost again, got exiled and again the king retuned, people became so desirous of late Napoleon again that they elevated his nephew to emperor.

    So you can say at least that however bad technocrats are, kings seem to be worse, by a margin.
