>>5868782 >you sound mad Already admitted to that so you don't win anything for pointing it out again, I'm sorry to say. >ignorant of history lel. "Judeo-Christian" is ahistorical as fuck. It's a dumb attempt to conflate Western and Jewish civilization as if Jews weren't almost universally detested, marginalized and persecuted in the West prior to the Holocaust. It smacks of Zionism and Holocaust guilt.

>>5868831 You say Judeo-Christianity is a constructed term yet you refer to Western civilization as existing. I think this needs no further explanation

31 min later 5868864 Anonymous
>>5868831 Christianity is an offshoot of Judaism. It retains the same God as Judaism, the same mythology (just with an added testimant), and the central figure (Jesus) was Jewish as were his pals So even though these Jew 2.0's that later became Christians turned on their older versions, the intertwined origins of both faiths makes the Judeo-Christian moniker work

>>5868849 >hurr durr everything is constructed Fine. The difference is that "Judeo-Christian" is an extremely recent construction. It was also constructed for very specific political/propaganda purposes. "Western civilization" at least has some history behind it.

>>5868864 Yeah, we already have terms for that -- "Abrahamic" and "Semitic." "Judeo-Christian" accomplishes nothing new other than deliberately excluding mooselimbs from the grouping, Israel's enemies.

>>5868840 >were founded for religious (though surely economic) reasons Even if this were true, which is definitely arguable, it's very difficult to justify that this is something to be proud of. You really haven't done the proper leg-work here. >We invented corporatism Perhaps. And this has done as much bad as good to say the least. "Greed, if left unchecked, is a cancer." >Peace Corps, USAID in addition to our military missions Peace Corps is good. I will give you that. USAID is questionable, and our military missions do about equal amounts good and bad. Dunno if you should be citing that. >America is the result of the best qualities of anglo civilization coming to one place and people Eh, ok. That may be true. At the very least, it's not worth arguing. Still, of all the things to pick, it's strange that you would choose this, but ok. >Deserts, mountains, beaches, and prairies Aaah, ok. Yeah, we've got bitchen Geography. For some reason, I didn't realize what you were talking about in your post. I'm totally with you on this one.

>>5869725 that's because the media is made in areas with a shit ton of jews like new york or L.A were jews are way more then 2%. but in say Alaska or Idaho odds are you won't be able to find one jew. and why are you watching american TV shows instead of British tv? the problem with British shows is there isn't enough of them, you need to make seasons with more then 8 fucking episodes.

>>5870599 He did blockade us, and it nearly worked, then people realised how much they needed British manufactured goods and began to smuggle it in en-mass. Basically, because the revolution had all but purged the French navy's officer class, Britain was pretty much untouchable in the Napoleonic wars.

>>5870642 Only after Trafalgar, though. There was a time when Napoleon's army was amassed on the other side of the channel, beacons had been set up along the coast from Scotland to Cornwall, there were reports for enormous flotillas of barges being constructed and local militias were set up across the country with whatever weapons they could find. Then a little man with one arm and one eye defeating the French and Spanish navies against all the odds and secured Britain's place as top-dog for the next 100 years.
