why are fedoras so obsessed with gnosticism
is it their intense desire to be a contrarian? because it's literally "dude what if we turned everything in christianity upside down: the religion"

Gnosticism is much more logical than Christianity. World is full of naturally existing evil, if you believe in creation then kind of a faulty God makes better sense, than a wishful thinking of Christianity. The main difference between fedoras and the religious people is that the didn't use religion, as a form of escapism, so tend to choose the reals over feels.

What would be the term for someone who believes in multiple gods, but worships none? I tried to dig around for it a little, but couldn't come up with what I was looking for.
This is my first time here, so I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to be asking this question. I just wasn't sure where to go.

In the gnostic texts, what is meant by "woman", and related terms like "womanhood", "female", "femaleness", etc.? It can't mean individuals of the female sex because when this quality is discussed is discussed also by Mary Magdalene herself, beside the other disciples, so it must refer to a quality of some sort that can be present in men, and women.

Gnosticism is heresy. You can be gnostic, which is the opposite of agnostic, but if you want to be a "Gnostic", just become a "Platonist".

Is it true that the leader Adolf was replaced by the sadistic and corrupt Hitler sometime during 1940? Part of an US plot to trigger more world intervention in the war, perhaps?
Who would have more sucess in a battle against their enemies? Adolf or Hitler?

Populism is a buzzword that the establishment uses to demonize and discredit popular movements against their corruption and abuse of power. Hence why both Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders were decried as "populists" despite having little in common policy-wise aside from anti-establishment rhetoric.
>>
Usually I see it applied to sophists who make use of punchy rhetoric that appeals to the majority. They tell people what they want to hear even if it it's false/impractical.
>>
Yes, because the majority of the populace is dumb fucks and populist use that to say super stupid stuff to get their support.

For people without the possibility of rehabilitation and reintegration back into society normally could a lobotomy be a possible solution?
There's the obvious economic benefits. It costs a few hundred a day for every inmate to be kept alive and after subtracting that there's the tax that's taken from whatever they earn when they're out.
The obvious issue is the ethics behind it. The way I see it while it could be morally questionable to remove someone's personality is it truly that terrible when it's that personality that's keeping them behind bars for the rest of their life? You can perhaps argue that you are removing an essential part of their psyche but without its removal they won't even have the possibility to use it wholly. To remove or not to remove, that is the question.

Why not just execute them instead?
>>
Because how can they work if they're dead. It also seems more ethically correct. I mean you're not technically killing them so maybe the people opposed to capital punishment won't be opposed to lobotomies.

You're delusional. Removal from this mortal plane vs. being turned into a walking shell of a person? Yeah gee, tough fucking choice.

If the world became lawless tomorrow (much like the purge), nobody would doubt that there'd be so much looting and rioting, stealing, raping, etc. But this means that people have to build a backbone for trust.
Obviously, tribalism would occur, and we'd trust family over friends, friends over society, etc.
Wouldn't then a lawless society be a precursor to a society based on honour.
And if that is true, then wouldn't that make capitalism and the state "dishonourable" ?

No because this isn't a problem in countries made up by homogeneous populations or liberals.
Look at Japan and how they handeled the Tsunami incident.
Even the fucking Yakuza was out working as relief workers while providing aid in the form of billions yen.
Again, this is part of white man syndrome, so please do not include us people who are proud of our race into your own disability to unite as one.

If you had to choose between dealing with the Gestapo (or any of the Nazi security organs grouped with it, such as the Sicherheitsdienst) or the NKVD, who would you go with?
Lets say you were a member of the Polish resistance, a good example, because they had to deal with both. Hell, you could even merely be the resident of a village near where the resistance operates, and you'd be in their crosshairs.
It doesn't matter if you are a partisan or not, it doesn't even matter if you sympathize with them, because both the Gestapo and NKVD still think you have information, and they want it.
Bonus question: would you rather your village be visited by the Dirlewanger Brigade, or by a group of rapacious Soviet Partisans who raid you for conscripts and food?

They were both pretty brutal. With the Gestapo you could be sent to a work camp or Death Camp but with the NKVD you could be placed inside one of their torture buildings. It's really a question of which one would make you die sooner? Also Chekas were worse than both put together.

did Germany get off lightly compared to Austria-hungry and the Ottomans? They retained most of their territory, while the other two disintegrated.

You kind of answered your own question.
Both sides were so exhausted by war that there was no political will to punish the Germans.
The inter-war period is an excellent case study in how a democracy can win a war and then lose the peace.
>>
I don't know about this one. Here's what I think:
Germany lost its honor. They were the rising star with future plans, whereas Austria-Hungary and the Ottomans were collapsing and on their way out. This made it a lot easier for Hitler to come about and say Versailles was to harsh. Germans also had really embraced a German identity, whereas Austria-Hungary and the Ottomans were full of squabbling ethnic groups who wanted independence from each other, whereas Germany saw a united future.
