Communism is satanic and ultimately failed in the face of Christianity. The Cross shatters the hammer and sickle every. Single. Time.
Get St. Gabriel’d
Every political faction that currently exists, is going to get BLINDSIDED by the revival of American Communism.
I'm talking the real deal. Completely unapologetic communism with a capital C. It's going to hit them like a train, and it will seem random. But make no mistake, it
🧵A Thread: Why I get heated when Orthodox accounts post Nazi crap for all the world to see.
To get it started, it’s because of my experience with the small number of Orthodox people I knew IRL at my college. These were the first Orthos I ever knew, so they kinda set the tone.
Whoever writes for DC or Marvel needs to take a lesson in crossovers from the pros of fringe-Twitter. We got:
- Saint Hitler
- Hegelian-Gnostic “Orthodox” (Manic Rite)
- Nephite Vikings
- Trumpian Neo-Stalinism
You can’t make this up!
America, but it’s an Orthodox Monarchy built upon the symphony between the State— headed by the Emperor & Autocrat of All-America— and the Church— headed by the Pope & Patriarch of Holy America.
@MaximusOrthodox
“I am free from all racial hatred—“ except for Slavs, Jews (including ethnically-Jewish Christian converts), and Romani people. They can get fucked apparently.
I attend an Antiochian church, does that make me a “spiritual Arab?” No, I’m an Appalachian, the heir of a hardy line of mountain people hailing from the British Isles. That’s who I am, I’m a Hillbilly in Christ. No need to LARP as a foreigner when the Lord gave me my folk.
So in Met. John Snychev's sense, I am a spiritual Russian. I am canonically a member of the Russian Orthodox Church, unworthy though I am. I study Russian language and incorporate Russian cultural things into my own lifestyle. I teach my children Russian history.
Question for the Orthodox people stanning Hitler. I’ve been trying to get an answer on this, but how y’all gonna handle established, mixed-race Christian marriages? And the children, who would’ve been baptized in the Church. Because that’s something that would have to be answered
@Theromanbaron
I get your frustration. But out of curiosity, why not decide to attend an Independent Catholic Chapel with the TLM?
Eastern Orthodoxy is Eastern. Rome is Western.
You don't think Rome lost its way in 1054. One can make a case it lost its way in 1969.
Pray for us, brother.
@orthobilly
No, separating earthly affairs from supernatural superstitious beliefs was one of the best ideas they could have copied from French revolutionaries. If u want to believe someone who lived 2K years ago is the king of all creation, feel free to do so, but please keep it to yourself
@realjosephb
@MaxMillerOH
That's truly delusional. Americans hate Soviets as much as we hate Nazis. Your Soviet perversion of the American flag is offensive. Russians are still closet Soviets.
It’s not “hating on the Greeks” so much it’s criticizing how the Greeks treat the Church like their own ethnic ghetto. I know more than a few personally who were flat out told they don’t belong in the Church because they weren’t Greek or Slavic. I think that’s worthy of critique.
Anti-Greek sentiment seems to be trending in online “orthodox” circles. Apparently it’s cool to ‘hate on the Greeks’ now. Obviously an inferiority complex, the hate seems to come mostly from English speaking converts. Efforts should be done to counter this mental retardation
Hot take: I like a lot of the old Baptist hymns I was raised in and still hum them to myself. I think they work as good Christian folk songs, but not as parts of Liturgy.
@MaximusOrthodox
So this justified the attempted extermination of innocents of those three groups how? Even Jewish converts to Christianity were killed, the Nazis planned to exterminate the eastern Slavs and resettle their land, and Romani were also victimized.
I’ve seen someone get so distraught about whether or not their reception by Chrismation was legit over it they joined some schismatic “True Orthodox” group. This was all incited by Twitter weirdos hounding them about only being Chrismated and not baptized.
@Kaleb_Atlanta
@superxtianmario
I've had at least 2 people tell me to my face in real life that I was going to hell for being received by chrismation, and one of those guys said he was just repeating what an Athos monk told him. So that's 3 people right there.
He was later expelled on account of the incident, and because of some other events involving women on campus that I’m not too privy to.
4 months later, I visited my parish for the first time, and in spite of my introduction to Orthodoxy coming from such a way, I love it.
I go to an Eastern Rite parish and maintain Western devotions in the home. My ancestors knew Christ through the Roman Rite, it’s liturgy, it’s devotions. We have Saints nourished by the venerable liturgies of the West. Why slander us in this way?
The second guy was a mutual acquaintance in one of the classes I TA’d for. He was booted from it, because he told a Black woman in the class that “slavery was good for your kind, I don’t see why you complain.” Expelled later for public masturbation while staring a girl down.
The first guy worked with me in the history department. Found out he was a vocal Holocaust denier, and the guy was eventually booted out of the school for sending explicit messages to 8th grade girls at the attached K-12 school. Also kept a portrait of Hitler in his dorm.
Speaking as someone who works closely with folks well below the poverty line, it’s much harder to care about spiritual things when you can barely afford to put food on the table, clothe your child, or afford gas to get back and forth to work.
@Kaleb_Atlanta
Why are they only motivated by material incentives? Why do they not care about spiritual things without material incentives? How can people looking at faith primarily for material incentives make any spiritual progress towards salvation?
Just sayin’, when society collapses I’ve got dibs on being the High-King/Cyning/Atheling of Appalachia. Except we calling it New Mercia, I like that one.
American Converts: You can be Orthodox and not try to tie everything back to Russia or Greece. Be Orthodox and Southern, baptize your culture instead of aping another. And poorly at that. “Western” doesn’t automatically equal “bad.”
What could possibly go wrong?
“She has argued for the South to secede from the U.S. again, opposed the removal of Confederate statues from public land and attempted to show parallels between Southern and Russian identity.”
He said he hoped she got raped. To say I was furious was an understatement. My fiancé was having a panic attack, and I flipped. I told him if he didn’t leave I would make sure he did so in a box. He left when campus security showed up to make sure I actually didn’t kill him.
For background, my college was a small private school tucked into rural Appalachia with a heavy Evangelical bias. Not a bad place overall, but overwhelmingly Protestant, and not much in the way for aspiring Orthodox. So I was happy to hear there was a group of 4 on campus!
Before this, he’d been hitting me up for girl advice because we worked together, and would talk religion among other things. The man was rough, to say the least. Constantly bashing women, “I’m such a nice guy” bull. Had the mentality of a porn addict, but accepted only virgins.
And for the record, there ain’t nothing wrong with learning the language and appreciating the culture, but when you’re teaching your kids another nation’s history as their own and adopting their culture without cause, that’s a LARP, and it screams “Rootless Cosmopolitan.”
The third guy worked with me as a tutor and this is the guy who caused my wife to think Orthodoxy is a Nazi religion. He was actually in the process of getting fired because he was reported by 7 female clients for belittling them when they came for Chemistry help.
1.) The main ethnic groups can be traced back to the sons of Noah. Non-Whites are primarily descendants of Ham and Shem, Whites of Japheth. “Beasts of the field” belief is an innovation.
2.) These people are in heaven and are praying you find the truth:
@OrthodoxPrayer
@consciousphilos
Adam and Eve (which were the first Aryans / Whites) were preceded by lesser, non-Caucasian races which are identified as "beasts of the field" in Genesis 1:25. For example, the "beasts" which wore sackcloth and cried unto God in Jonah 3:8.
I met them, and they seemed cool at first, but later events destroyed that notion. It was 3 guys, 1 girl, and the 3 guys were… awful people. I worked with 2 through my 2 on-campus jobs and was acquainted with the other through a friend. The girl was cool, gave me fasting tips.
For what it’s worth, I walked in on one instance of it, found the girl in tears from what he’d said. Needless to say, the professor over the center had no qualms about personally delivering the news he was fired. That sent him over the edge.
The guy turned on me because I told him to chill. Called me a “beta,” “cuck,” what you’d expect. I blew him off, but then he turned on my wife (then fiancé). He threw a bunch of slurs for Hispanics her way, called her “dumb b*tch,” the works. But then he said something worse.
- Carbon steel was discovered through a mix of archaeology and following the oral tradition of the Haya people in Tanzania.
- The Cardiopad, invented by Cameroonian entrepreneur Marc Arthur.
- Sign-IO invented by Kenyan Roy Allela.
- Ethiopia was the second Christian state.
Anyways; the professor personally delivered news of his firing and he blew up. Called the professor (who was Jewish) some choice words, and dug into our workhead when he tried to say something by just lambasting him for being overweight and a Calvinist.

@9mm_smg
I’m sorry Father, but Wignats see a White woman with a mixed kid and even supposed “Christians” in their ranks become full Sangerites.
Rome still possesses apostolic heritage, while they are in Schism. Plus, Rome and her Popes were Orthodox for a millennium, so if Pope St. Gregory the Great is a successor to the apostles, Francis is too, albeit cut off by Rome’s separation. This isn’t really a good argument.
Dear Hawk Tua girl,
Don't bother trying to start a "podcast" or "influencer" career. People will move on before you can even get started. Open the Only Fans now, bank 2-3 Million and walk away before the 15 minute window closes.
This is actual, authentic business advice.
Like I’m just imagining it now: you have these Midwestern basic vanilla Anglo-Americans trying their damndest to speak in a Russian accent, sprinkle Russian into their conversation, and have names like “Oleg” or “Artyom.” A Slavaboo is no less cringe than a Weaboo.
Stuff like this destroys the faith of new converts and robs them of their joy. So are Chrismated people just not Orthodox? And what if they’ve been taking communion until you come along to “happily” inform them they’ve been partaking unworthily?
@banterwithb
Because you yourself were not properly baptized as per the apostolic canons and Church Tradition you seek to convince others to do the same? Woe is you.
Maximus, brother, I mean this in love, but you’re going down a dark path. This is textbook prelest, and it always ends in schism or apostasy. Repent, your soul might be at stake.
4.) “Love thy racial kinsman” is found nowhere in the Bible, the teaching we see is “love thy neighbor,” the example of which was the Good Samaritan; who were a hated mongrel group with heretical beliefs.

@proustmalone
The way welfare is set up discourages folks from working. The cut-off for income makes it to where you’re either stuck making less in wages and struggling harder, or make more money in welfare but barred from a job. It’s institutionalized unemployment.
Black Hebrew Israelites latching on to candle-darkened icons as proof of their race-idolatry is almost as hilarious as Christian Identity people arguing for theirs through incorrect etymological interpretations of the Hebrew name “Adam.”
You can be Israelites, become Orthodox.
If the WR is blessed by the Bishops, feeds the flock, and is conducive to spiritual growth, why not use it? It shows the Church truly is Catholic and not a Greek Judaism.
WR prayers feel more familiar to many folk, myself included. Love ER prayers, but they feels weird at times.
I’ve seen two reactions to recent events with Ted and Kevin:
1.) Genuine hurt and prayerfully seeking their return to the Church.
2.) Creaming their jeans and screeching “i ToLd YoU sO!!!” to dunk on WR people.
Not too big on WR myself anymore, but one of these is plainly bad.
@MaximusOrthodox
So I’m guessing the four saints above, the Serbian martyrs killed by Ustashi, and the other martyrs killed by the Germans can just get bent, right?
Christians should consider adding just one Greek God to their prayer, Athena perhaps. Buy a statue of Athena and offer sacrifice to Her. You will be rewarded with unimaginable treasures.
Baptist churches often provide help to low-income families in their communities. Food pantries, rides to church, help with childcare, heck when the coal mines in my area shut down one church helped families affected get signed up on food stamps, WIC, etc.
@MaximusOrthodox
>some Germans
Mother Maria and her companions died in the camps, Saint Alexander was executed by the state, St. Gorazd as well, the Nazis provided support for the Ustashi, and we’ve already established the Germans were creating schismatic bodies. This really don’t track.
I still shudder a bit when I remember the ghouls cheering when people in my area were actively dying from major flooding, or were left without homes or had their livelihoods destroyed. They can kindly shove off.
I think what Bojan means is that being tempted with SSA isn’t a sin, but rather acting on it. Like being tempted to anger isn’t a sin, but giving in and allowing that hatred the time of day would be.
@KingIstvan68553
The West was Orthodox for 1,000 years and there were Benedictine monks living on Mount Athos post-Schism before they were murdered by Papist crusaders.
When your first encounters with Orthodox people IRL are them calling your wife racial slurs, it’s understandable I’m more worried about that. No lib ever called my wife a “Beaner” or “Quadroon.”
@AndrewNickles7
I notice the only folks who decry the "conservatism" of some converts are folks who rarely have any problems with the "liberal" policy advocates who are also Orthodox.
And I say that as a Southerner and someone who is increasingly concerned about the so-called "progressives."
@MaximusOrthodox
Precisely, that’s why Nazism is an evil system. The monks were isolated from events of the war, the martyrs saw Nazi evil up close and personal, and died resisting it.
It’s not “not caring for spiritual things,” it’s feeling like you have a community that’s got your back if anything happens. That safety net is a huge draw for many people, whether they’re inner-city Blacks or holler-dwelling Appalachian Whites.
You can’t convince me the majority of “Redpill” types aren’t gay. A man doesn’t hate on women that intensely unless they’re so deep in the closet they’ve entered Narnia.
Fun Fact: Russel didn’t found the JWs. He founded the parent Bible Student movement, but the modern JWs were actually founded by Joseph Rutherford, who took over the Watchtower organization after Russel died. There are independent Russelites who reject Watchtower as heretics.
