Ukraine is pagan

I feel like this is sort of something I'd expect out of some hardcore edge lords. I also feel like many Nazis are also edge lords. I am not surprised in this overlap.

If I wrote this in sci-fi space communism universe with talking intelligent fennec foxes flying spaceships I'd still get people saying I'm being campy and edgy.

What do simps and libs have in common? Weird fetishism (?)

For one, prayers and temple rituals ARE magic too. Second, Christianity is full into blood obsession, and there's even passages about the blood of the saints/martyrs, so it's only to be expected for this to happen in some form or another, like Jehovah's Witnesses's children dying because not accepting transfusions.

"It is not real christianity" is one of the oldest and most boring takes ever, dating literally from even before it was accepted as state religion by Rome.

It is real, it exist.

Usual context i hear about this copy of Quran is when westerners going on a rant how stupid islam is because this book is blasphemous and they hate Saddam, but it is sacriledge to destroy a Quran so they are supposedly losing a lot of sleep and risking Allah's wrath in eternal limbo of uncertainly ending up in hell just for existing blah blah blah. Or something along those lines.

In reality, nobody serious really believes this is blood of Saddam, even western invaders were unimpressed and dismissed it back then.

Fun fact: guy who made it now lives in USA... in Virgina no less.

As a thanksgiving for victory, Saddam supposedly wrote out the entire Koran (or some verses from it) in ink mixed with his own blood. I rather doubt it ever happened, and I'm not sure that Islamic law would even allow it, but the idea is still kind of badass.

I've never heard of this before, sounds pretty funny (and fake). I don't think there's something specifically against using human blood as far as I know.

This nazi Bible is most probably a normal Bible, nothing special, and as badass and dumb as the other idea, to be honest.

Given how making something into a "holy war" completely removes any level of "middle ground". Fascists just have to convince the average person that they are on the "holy" side, and are therefore "solders of God". It is a very quick and effective way to not only take power, but to be handed power willingly. The group or at least top leadership doesn't even need to be religious believers. Just have to play the classics and go for the cheap-pops. At which point even if there are "scandals" they just do what literally all the Evangelical (or other far-right/prosperity gospel) leaders do, and just really lean into it and just claim to have been just as weak as any other person. Then just be seen doing surface level atonement theatre. As it is only the "evil" people that must be attacked and purged. Religion can go from something that helps people, to something that most certainly can lead to WW3 real damn quick.

Least Christofascist Christian involved in Ukraine

Pretty sure more than one would be voluntary, seeing this level of cultism.

"The more religious the more communist" Lenin.

It seems like an "artisan" petit-bourgeois sort of thing instead of a massive operation, hence the "A print shop in Kiev"

Because Christianity is already a blood obsessed cult. What did you expect with a book that screams "blood of the holy/saints/martyrs" on it? To not be written in blood by their own fanatics?
