Would be funny for China to just nationalise DeepSeek and make it free for all humanity for the lulz.

You can get away with the first part (it's not just the Shahada, it's literally the first sentence of the Nicene Creed.) but Man is, definitionally for a supposed Catholic, God. ("he was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became Man.") you're literally supposed to genuflect on that line. She's heard this every week since childhood!

None of these assholes are Christian, they neither embrace the "Low Christianity" of charity, humility and forgivness, nor the "High Christianity" of the Logos and the nature of the Divine because none of these people can read or, apparently, listen in mass.

Courageous move by Keir Starmer, in the Yes Minister sense.

Seriously though it's just such an absurd overreaction. They hemorrhaging off their own politicians! They're arresting 84 year old upper class priests!

Best case scenario is Red Vienna, but I think that's unlikely. Nevertheless this IS a win, and the reaction of those in power is heartening. They're frightened and have so much less social capital than they did in 2000.

I know i know he's no communist, but we can throw rocks at social democrats when we're in a position to do so.

Does anyone remember that book Dinotopia about a secret human-dinosaur civilisation? In one scene they had a giant monument to the trilobite, like we might have a dinosaur carving.

The key Soviet development was to combine it with an urban centre for entertainment and admin. Otherwise you get a Milton Keynes.
