I’ve been thinking about making a meme for a while; theologists/AP Euro nerd enjoy;
I’ve been using the Desiderius Erasmus v Martin Luther analogy a lot recently
also luther: the jews are cursed and must be destroyed
Oh yeah, he’s a peach. To be clear I’ve been referencing the Erasmus v Luther thing as not necessarily a pro Luther thing. Last I checked the Catholic Church and Pope are still very much around.
And one of the consequences of the reformation was the 30 years war.
Good template
Eh, I'd argue the system is broken. Not because it's exploiting the poor, mind you, that part is intended. The unintended part is how it's starting to encroach on the authority of the rich. The system is supposed to "sustainably" make the rich richer and the poor poorer, which is of course complete balloony but that's neither here nor there.
So what would the people who want to dismantle the system replace it with? And where is a realistic plan to do so? And where is the evidence that will work?
