Why almost every place on the earth look down male sex male? What are the reasons?
I know if male sex male was a normal thing, women would get mad because they would lose a lot of attention.

Ancient Greece and Rome were the most patriarchal societies in my opinion and they were very advanced.

Because it is wrong and sinful. It is a relation mainly based on lust, not love.

This is a meme. Actually Greeks looked down on homos and they had to do their stuff in private.

For example, in Athens, if one was exposed as a Κιναιδος (someone who practices unnatural lusts, both "giving" or "receiving") one could never hold any political office again and basically was deprived off citizenship. Plato didn't find this enough and demanded the death sentence for Κιναιδει.

>>
>>75457150
Yes there is. You'll find out once.

Also I can cite Plato for you.

A lot of the Greeks were proud fags memes come from two notoriously unscientific works, Dover and most notoriously Samiakis. The last one is a homo himself and his work is liberal propaganda.

Dover was an academic, but his mistakes were based on a mistranslation of έραστής which did not have a sexual meaning but rather an educational one (younger male is guided by older male). Greeks made very clear distinctions between love and lust, both natural lust or unnatural.

It is in this sense that your claim about Spartan warriors is wrong.

Provide me examples. Again, έραστής =/= sexual

Zeus was bissexual, Apollo and Ares too. This is why it's bullshit.
>>
>>75457509
Zeus was a God. Quod licet Iovi, non livet bovi.

Please go on, cite a text that proves you are right. I have mine right here.

The truth is, Dover is the only academic who made such claims through his mistranslations, and Samiakis didn't just copy Dover, but added all sorts of plain lies to it, as a propaganda book. He even claimed that Plato was a homo, or pro-homo while he asked the death-sentence for them. And Salmiakis was later quoted by an American "expert" in ancient Greece who can't even read ancient Greek. Of course the gay lobby loved all this and spread it like wild-fire.

>>75457650

Also you are referring here to Ganymedes. I don't know anything that claims Apollo and Ares were Κιναιδει, so I'd like some proof for that.

You are making rules now. Zeus had sex with Ganimedes, a man and many other women.

Compared it to the rites of Aphrodite. THese things involved an orgy with a dedicated prostitute. People saw it as a necessary evil, but would keep their kids away from it, and preferred that temple far outside the city.

I know of no homosexual equivalents to that btw. knowing the paganism of the Greeks, if such a thing would be acceptable, they'd have a similar cult somewhere to it.

for what it is worth, japanese conservatives and those retarded netousyos arent really against gays. they tend to support the views of patriarchy and object to gay marriage as legal system despite being pathetic virgins but dont try to criticize/violate someone being gay.

So far for the myth that Greeks allowed pederasty, or that only the receiving part would be punished.

>>75460046
Because in those imperial days of Rome, the emperor was considered divine. That is btw why the Christians were persecuted in Rome but the Jews were not, because the former did not want to accept the divinity of the caesar.

And here we have the coup de grâce, Aeschinus citing Athens legislation on homosexuality in general.

Note the law not only deprives the offender (whether giving or receiving) of all his civic rights, but also reduces him to nothing, from a social and political point of view, and, in some cases, leads him to the executioner.

This is revealing of the contempt Athenians showed to such deeds, of the fact that they wanted, by all means, to send lewd persons away. They didn't harm someone who declared such a preference, but they denied him the possibility to be a part of the city's life. He was no longer treated as an Athenian citizen , but as an alien resident in the city of Athens (μέτοιχος)

And since I'm in the mood and always willing to defend the birth-cradle of European civilisation, I'm going to dig up Spartan law as well.
>>
>>75460566
Because he was batshit crazy. We are talking about the guy who, in his ""campaign against the Britons"" in 40 AD, ordered his legions to gather seashells, referring to them as "plunder from the ocean due to the Capitol and the Palace".

The guy was married to his sister, another thing simply not done in Rome. Of course the criticism only came after his death.

And I am denying that there was a difference between top and bottom, I just haven't come to Roman sources yet. But for the Greeks there was no difference, as I have aptly proven for Athenians so far in my last 3 posts.

In this court case the legislator actually benefited the passive party because he showed up in court, in public shame, over the active party, who wanted to pay his way out of court and did not show up out of shame.

Both in the end were deprived of their civic rights for their breach of the law, but the active party lost his money too for contempt of court.

By now it should have become clear for those of you still reading this, that someone who engaged in unnatural lusts, a Κιναιδος, could not represent his city, in no case and in no way. Contrary to the (((generally accepted opinion))) of recent years.

In exactly the same fashion, people nowadays also generally assure anybody who wants to hear, that Homer describes Achilles and Patrocles as a notorious homosexual couple, although they have never read a single Homeric rhapsody.

Unfortunately, this happens also on many sites in the internet, where Achilles is celebrated as the first known homosexual hero. Although Iliad is but the epic relating the grieves Greeks suffered from Achilles' wrath, because Agamemnon took his concubine, Vreseis, away from him.

Pic related we have Plato speaking about the love between men, where he clearly defines it as a sort of love that is entirely free of lust, termed by him as "the celestial Aphrodite", in contrast to "the vulgar Aphrodite".

Not at all! Where you guys get these things? If you would direct your attention to Tacitus (~150 AD), in his Germania, he describes the punishment for unnatural lust there. Basically you were tied to a wooden construction, and the tribe threw you in a bog.

This method of execution was considered very shameful.

By the times of the Germanic migrations a couple of centuries later, the invading Germanic tribes were all Christians (Arians) by then.
>>
>>75464828
Paying women for sex is also degenerate.

People confuse love with lust so easily these days. That is in my opinion what is the cause of the mental problems of many homosexuals. Many resemble alcoholics or drug addicts in their craving behaviour.

>>75465025
If what is true what you say (disregarding nigger orgies for a moment) that would mean that homosexuals would be happier and lead more fulfilled lives than heterosexuals and they are clearly not.

Because what we really crave is a loving partner, in the way nature intended, and not a hole to rub your dick in like a dog. Sure we all have lustful cravings, but there is a good reason why these are considered wrong. Only loving, and being loved back, and the mutual trust and closeness of hearts is what we really crave.

Hence we heteros who fuck whores (alpha or not) are also unfulfilled. But with homos there wannot be any loving fulfillment, as their love can't come to fruiton in building a family, literally coming together and the product of your love being a child that combines a piece of you both.

Regarding Africa: the culture of human sacrifice is today rampant in many African tribes in countries, including Nigeria, Zambia, Malawi, Tanzania, Uganda, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Swaziland, South Africa, and several others.

As you will surely agree they are hardly the example to follow.

Fair point. Though it remains a dubious one since Tacitus never personally witnessed any assembly, let alone one that would've convened to judge "sodomites".

I'm just a fan of history, not a LARPer or part of Vargs weird cult. I'd tell you all about second and first hand accounts and his wifes father, whom Tacitus relied on to give him accounts of northern Europe. But you are not gonna care about it anyway, so I'm just gonna leave you to your ahistorical fantasies that you probably only care about because they justify your beliefs.
>>
>>75466258
No the claim that it is dubious is pure post-modern revisionism. In essence they make a claim for a point that the like to have proven. For example, if you go to odinist blogs of the progressive kind (or one that claim anti-homosexual sentiment is a Jewish thing like our Hohol friend here: >>75458374) you will see that go on rants against alleged Jewish and Christian influences, without even quoting Tacitus.

What they don't say or know is that Tacitus basically made a condensed and abridged version of the now lost work of one of Rome's greatest historians, Titus Livius, now lost, and that his goal was basically to present a popular version of Livius' lofty and well-researched work, to convince an increasingly decadent public that they should go back to the ways of old. Hence why he praises the monogamy and dedication to a monogamous marriage of the Germanics, the barbarians, so much. You have to see it as: even the barbarians have become more praiseworthy in their morals than us.

So the fact that Tacitus never witnessed such an assembly is irrelevant, as it was Titus Livius who either witnessed it or used as he always did a very trustworthy source.

And I take offense to you insulting me about ahistorical fantasies. I have been providing direct quotes from Athens legislation all thread long to prove my points, I have been quoting the most trustworthy sources. While I also have invited you guys to do the same about your claims about bisexual Greeks, Germanics and native Americans, and no one has delivered anything as of yet.

The invitation still stands, so please go ahead.

I hope you will see that my offense to your insult is quite valid.

And next to that, you want me to post pictures of bog bodies found all over in these parts, that prove that Tacitus' exact description of them (in the wicker-like construction) is spot on?

I have a problem with people spreading totally unfounded and outright false claims to fit their agenda. Go for example to any lbgt lifestyle site and they make the wildest nonsensical claims, for example again Plato being gay or pro-gay. They don't even read what he wrote, they cherry-pick a sentence somewhere (not even bothering to validate with the original Greek text) and deliberately misrepresent it to suit their propaganda.

And then the legions of parrots come, like you saw in the start of this thread, parrotting things they have never checked themselves and taking offense when someone pushes their nose on it.
>>
>>75467857
Still, gays are ok.
>>
>>75468388
No. On a personal level some are good people, some are not, like with all others. But the act of homosexuality is an abberation, and in the long term will make a person very unhappy. It is not an act of love, or in the broadest sense it is a erroneous expression of a normal healthy male friendship. It is bound to corrupt and lead to despair, because of what I stated here >>75465782.

An alcoholic or drug addict may also be a good person, but his behaviour is bound to bring him sorrow. People knew this well before Chrsitianity too, as I have I hope aptly demonstrated here.

Now the thing is how someone who engages in sinful acts stands towards what he does. When he realises that it is a sin, when he is genuinely in his heart remorseful for what he does, he'll get strengthened on his path. If he however believes that it is normal behaviour, it will lead to despair in the similar sense of an addict, as it is a matter of a lustful craving.

>>75467018
Livy is of course known to all who study the history of Rome. However in the context of historical scientific facts the source is still second hand, and even more dubiously second hand since the original work no longer survives. Livy was by the way a scholar and a historian and he wrote of many things that he did not himself witness. His works are studied and interesting but he is by no means a Herodotus. You can see why on wikipedia.

As for Tacitus he did what most historians and scholars of the centuries have done. He filled in the blanks with rumors and stories. As you say yourself, he wrote for an audience that he wanted to influence to his ways.

Its the validity of your claims about history that I question not your offended ego. And lastly the scientific method for historical studies pre-date post-modernism by a couple of centuries, its from the enlightenment. Ironically post modernism is best known for its anti-enlightenment ways. The real post-modernist here is you.

And who cares what you think. Still you say gays are ok, I say they are not.

>>75469393
I wasn't talking about ego, I was providing primary sources with the Greek original earlier on and you accuse me of being unhistorical. Just like you I have also a general intense interest in history. True that I am also a practicing Christian, yet it was not that what I was defending here for the most part, although I will certainly not deny what is in my eyes the
truth, and truth is absolute. In fact: someone who hates both Christianity and homosexuality and has a fetish for Greek paganism will surely love me for what I posted here. Were I driven by merely proselytising the faith without caring about historical fact, I could better have claimed that the Greco-Romans were all morally degenerate as fuck until the Christians came.

Now back to Tacitus. First you say there was nothing about homosexuality there, and that Germanics didn't care about what others did. Certainly false in both points. I provide you with proof (and btw yes >"sodomy" is an English translation, I don't see why your brackets are necessary, but I'd be glad to give you the Latin text to confirm the correct translation) and you start attacking the source. As a biochemist I am very well acquainted with scientific method, and when we literally find bodies in exactly the way Tacitus described in bogs here. So hence the plausability of your claim that Tacitus was somehow wrong gets really small. Yet you do not want to admit this, and imply not only that, but you question my motives, assuming by this my personal stance on homosexuality, while you don't see that you are the one whose motives are most to be questioned, as you continue to spread doubt on two strong indications that Tacitus was right (text + bog bodies found), exactly because of *your* own personal stance on homosexuality.

You are the one making claims, I question those claims. I don't need a source to question, maybe this is true for biochemists in your university.

Again in the context of historical debate I'm not using sources here, and have no intention of reading for hours just because you have a bunch of stuff that support your claim. But you can't just shut me down because you have some quote from some book, if you studied social sciences you would know this is not the same thing.

For a biochemist the bodies are cool. I understand this. But consider the thousands of claims made by Tacitus that have yet to be corroborated and you will understand why your argument carries much less weight than what you think. If you really doubt me then try writing a letter presenting your arguments and send it to a few thousand Professors and Ph.D. in history and see what they'll have to say about it.

When I mentioned biochemistry I did it to infer that I am well acquinted with scientific method. I also know the difference between primary and secondary sources. But you want to make tabula rasa over his credibilty when there are very strong indications, and now I am talking in general, not just the bog bodies, that he was quite trustworthy in what he reported about the Germanics (and the Britons in his work about Agricola). You say there are thousands of uncorroborated claims, not a literal expression of course, while I can state you many that were proven right. You want to throw the baby away with the bath-water.

Suppose you are right that we do have another source that shows that in Roman imperial times sodomy was considered something very shameful by the Romans, or he wouldn't have "invented" it.

And again I have seen zero evidence for any claim that the Germanics would have been bisexual or other far out claims that certainly do not suit pagan warrior tribes of those days.

As for writing to academics, the only ones that have a problem with Tacitus claims on that issue are generally people without academic credentials.

I understand that you lack the time and desire, but then you can't just attack without having a look at least. Well you can, but it makes no real sense.

Said whether it's classified or not it technically is a mental illness as the brain is deviating from normal behavior that is essentially detrimental to the one purpose of life that we know of, reproduction. Personally I don't give a shit but I won't pretend it's normal behavior.

Same here.

Same sex relationships are only acceptable if it's two women who look like Emma Watson and Megan Fox.

Truth is absolute. There is no debating God's divine law. No what ifs and buts and whens. Right is Right. Wrong is Wrong.

During that time, it's about status and dominance and what the Belgium guy says. Plus, it's an exaggerated fetish.

You mean future cat-ladies? Youth deludes and whithers away you know. Homos should also take heed of this.

Neither of these two will find love. They may frequently be able to extinguish their lust, but that will make them even more unhappy in the long run.

There's a clear lobby group behind it, and they don't hide their motives. They want to create as many homosexuals as possible. Same for trannies, just look at Chris Chan and Jessie Slaughter ffs. These are the poor products of a preying lobby group.

Gay men are inevitably promiscuous because of the nature of male sexuality. Men want and crave sex constantly.

According to several prophecies by blessed people and saints, and confirmed by the visions of Fatima in 1917, there was going to be a Great Apostasy, between the end of the last world war and the nearing End of Days (Great Chastisement), in which the Roman Church would lose the faith from the top down, due to infiltration by a secret sect (freemasons). This resulted in the Second Vatican Concilium in 1965. Since then, Satan will be given greater powers over humanity as the latter abandoned the faith, and the Roman Church began teaching error and heresy. It was said that God would allow him to create a great fog over the minds of people, and the less faithful the more freedom Satan and his fallen angels would have in the world. This all corresponds to how the world has changed so fast in morals over the last 60 years. Men would live like swines, women would act as men, and a great immorality would be established where people would go so mad, madness becomes the norm.

Hear who wants to hear.
