    Religious sexual repression is scary. My pet theory is that middle east problems would be solved if every dude was just handed a pocket pussy when they turn 16 lol

    How will that solve being invaded and meddled with for oil and trade routes?

    Or 2000 years ago, being invaded and meddled with for frankincense and trade routes?

      2000 years ago would’ve been the Romans, Christianity much less Catholicism simply didn’t exist at that time. And I think Morocco conquered Andalusia before the crusades. By like 400 years.

      Because it takes a special psychological state for people to contribute to these actions. Sexual repression highly contributes to creating such mental states.

        I don’t think the Greek and Roman pagans were known for sexual repression and yet they engaged in wars and conquests, including of the Middle East and Arabia. Neither were the Arab pagans they conquered and invaded. It has always been about resources and access to them.

            So what you claim is that people resist invasions only because they are sexually repressed? Is that what’s happening in Ukraine?

            Somehow you are capable of understanding fighting back against invaders when it is the Ukrainians but not when it is Arabs or Afghans. I wonder why?

            Some people are victims of their geography, that’s it.

            PS: it is called proof by contradiction, not a strawperson.

            PSS: nothing changed in 2000 years, just replace Rome with the USA and frankincense with oil
