    Lol do it. Military force against the Vatican will be well received on the international stage, no doubt. Really shore up the support of MAGA catholics too.

    The photo is very nice, actually. Pope looks like he sees an idiot. Oh, wait, he really sees him.

    The Idiot somehow ending the global petrodollar, making renewable energy the only plausible option, and causing another Catholic schism is, just… sure. Why not. This doomed timeline might as well have some accidental stupid upsides.

    Accelerationism is human sacrifice for change, but it’d be worse to cause all this suffering and not change.

    Let this particular horror remind everyone - these people aren’t ignorant. They’re just bastards. They are educated monsters. Some bubba wearing a pillowcase would not use ecumenical deep cuts as oblique threats. A mere idiot would shuffle their cards and suggest tarriff-ing the Vatican, as if they export anything besides grace, indulgence, and instructions for shielding child molesters.

      Your assumption seems to be that we have seen all the suffering we’re going to see. Accelerationism needs a LOT more suffering than certain bubbles seem to predict.

        Oh no, I’m painfully aware the consequences of our actions have barely begun to land. And obviously The Idiot isn’t about to stop making terrible decisions on purpose unless he suddenly keels over, god willing. But if nothing good is allowed to happen ever again there might as well be a silver lining.

    Isn’t Trump the Pope yet? Why? French had their own Pope, why can’t the USA? And Trump is the best candidate!
