Christianity (excluding some Protestant sects) seems to lend itself naturally to socialism.
Has there ever been a Christian socialist country, or any kind of Christian socialist movement? I know there were some commie priests in South America, but did they participate in politics?

That's stupid.
Historical Christianity is rooted in hierarchy, stemming as it does out of questions to do with authority and providence. Monarchism therefore has more to do with it than any rabble rousing ideology such as socialism.

Not at all, there is multiple writings against socialism as unchristian. Christianity would agree with the heart of the matter, such as your picture would show, but they would disagree on the means specifically.

Intellectual, as in someone who actually partakes in academic intellectual life and produces unique works, is an actual word and pseudo is an actual word. Pseudo-intellectual means postulating as an intellectual or creating intellectual works that are perfidious.

A pseudo intellectual who isn't formally educated and they or someone like them has disagreed with me.

Such broad terms are exactly that, very broad.

Portugal specifically. The county that became the nation we know and love today.

The County of Portugal was in the northern tip of todays Portugal and was part of the Kingdom of Leon until it eventually broke away in the XII century and eventually was upgraded to the rank of Kingdom by the Pope because pay moneys and be a direct vassal of the States of the Church.

>revolution to overthrow an unfair class system

Was the French Revolution (and other revolutions of the era) and the Napoleonic Wars the spiritual predecessor to Marxist revolutions? Is the struggle of classes a cycle that will one day erupt again?

They didn't "go to war to spread the revolution", they went to war because they were attacked
Them spreading the revolution ideals was a side effect

>They both bore it as though in deliberate flagellant exaltation of physical misery transmogrified into the spirits' travail of the two young men during that time fifty years ago, or forty-eight rather, then forty-seven and then forty-six, since it was '64 and then '65 and the starved and ragged remnant of an army having retreated across Alabama and Georgia and into Carolina, swept onward not by a victorious army behind it but rather by a mounting tide of the names of lost battles from either side Chickamauga and Franklin, Vicksburg and Corinth and Atlanta — battles lost not alone because of superior numbers and failing ammunition and stores, but because of generals who should not have been generals, who were generals not through training in contemporary methods or aptitude for learning them, but by the divine right to say "Go there" conferred upon them by an absolute caste system; or because the generals of it never lived long enough to learn how to fight massed cautious accretionary battles, since they were already as obsolete as Richard or Roland or du Guesclin, who wore plumes and cloaks lined with scarlet at twenty-eight and thirty and thirty-two and captured warships with cavalry charges but not grain nor meat nor bullets, who would whip three separate armies in as many days and then tear down their own fences to cook meat robbed from their own smokehouses, who on one night and with a handful of men would gallantly set fire to and destroy a million dollar garrison of enemy supplies and on the next night be discovered by a neighbor in bed with his wife and be shot to death
Is this accurate?

sup /his/,
I was wondering if anyone could tell me about this;
This is my great grandfather's it seems he was part of some protestant order in Newfoundland Canada, this was before Newfoundland was a Canadian province though.
I'll post a couple pics to make it easier to read. It says he was part of a royal black knighthood or something, not entirely sure what it's about. Any information will help.

Has any political organization ever in all of human history been as depraved as ISIS? Was any ancient army or modern totalitarian state so complete remorseless that they'd have little kids murdering people for spectacle?
I'm legit wondering if humanity has reached an all-time-low.

Content warning. Watch at your own discretion. It's an ISIS propaganda video with little kids individually executing a dozen or so captives. Near-Hollywood level production values and camerawork.

It's the ability to take all this in stride, with only a handful of great examples to the contrary (awesome students, etc..) that would make or break you as a teacher.
