You guys told me they were the flagbearers of settler colonialism or something but perhaps the reddit using Mormons are not a representative sample
Go read up Mormon history. They waged war against the US multiple times. They massacred a bunch of settlers headed for California. Mormons are ultimately only loyal to the leadership of the LDS church. He just needs to say the word and the flag of Deseret will fly once again.
that’s old school mormonism before it was tamed by the US government, turned into a friendly corporation and all of the radical fundamentalist elements purged. There’s no juice for that anymore, that’s just not the modern day Mormonism
Mormon Orderliness vs. Evangelical Chicanery
Mormons are rule following nerds. I see the modern Mormon church as similar to like Disney Corp. They are made in every way to be safe and avoid discomfort, they are sheltered and they like it. Evangelicals are cackling demons riding life on the edge, staring right into the abyss. They are different kinds of reactionary zealots. Of course the chad chud will intimidate the virgin chuds, which is why they’ve all bent the knee to Trump despite the seeming contradiction since he is crass and obscene and breaks rules.
Lawful Evil Mormoms vs Chaotic Evil Evangelicals. Amerikkkan Blood War when?
The Greater Idaho War doesn’t start til 2037, after Idaho and Alberta attempt to annex Western Montana, Eastern Washington and Eastern Oregon.
We aren’t exactly going to be fighting our hardest for those areas, tbf.
Spokane will probably see the worst of it and could end up partitioned like Berlin.
This might be a situation of where two species are occupying the same role and are vying for the same resources rather than a mongoose vs. cobra thing.
Mormons aside, American evangelicals are a force of extra strong bourgeois ideology in the world rn
Mormons have a made up prophecy where they come to the New World and then become gods of their own planet when they die.
Evangelicals have a made up prophecy where they nuke Jerusalem and end all life on Earth.
Game recognizes game
The FBI is full of Mormons, is the CIA full of evangelicals? Or is the CIA just funding evangelism in Latin America?
I think Mormons also generally dislike anyone belonging to any kind of organized religion. They prefer people who are agnostics or atheists or “spiritual” because they think they’re easier to convert.
I also love Mormons because they’re the only people who will argue about philosophy in public with total strangers for hours as a result of knocking on your door.
Historically at least, the CIA was more associate with Catholics and the way it grew extremely quickly was by leveraging the existing international intelligence network of the Catholic Church. I think it was the agents themselves that used to jokingly call it the “Catholic intelligence Agency.”
r/Mormon or r/latterdaysaints? The second one is the one for true believers
latterdaysaints. They have an enormous amount of posts that are like “I really like Jesus but not John Brigham’s church” lmao. I would like to make a suggestion.
