    Fun fact: Most witch trials happened outside of the scope of the church as a centralized institution, and were instead pursued by town councils or mobs.

    Oftentimes an inquisitor’s job was exonerating Innocents. The most famous case would be Joan of Arc.

    That said, there’s a difference between early cases and late cases and the church as an institution did burn people, but in most cases it was mob “justice”.

    In fact:

    “Pope Gregory VII, in 1080, wrote to King Harald III of Denmark forbidding witches to be put to death upon being suspected of having caused storms or failure of crops or pestilence.”

    That said, Heresy was super punished in the most extreme ways (see the Cathars).

    So in reality it wasn’t religion itself but people that are super duper shitty.

    Edit: I think this is related to Hypathia, so:

    “Rumors spread accusing her of preventing Orestes from reconciling with Cyril and, in March 415 AD, she was murdered by a mob of Christians led by a lector named Peter.”

    A lector is a guy that reads, which was uncommon but he didn’t have any place of authority IMO.





  • I’ll say this, he is smart and sells his opinions as true libertarianism, however now and then, he let’s a peek behind the curtain of his true intentions:

    He considers abortion to be a violation of property rights and equates it with theft.

    In a 2025 speech at the World Economic Forum, Milei argued there was an “LGBT agenda”, saying, “In its most extreme version, gender ideology simply and plainly constitutes child abuse. They’re pedophiles”.

    He intends to eliminate the law that makes comprehensive sex education (CSE) in schools mandatory,[71] which he has linked to brainwashing,[72] and said that students are “hostages of a system of state indoctrination”.

    In a country that has long prided itself on its openness to immigrants, Milei’s abrupt measures and declaration that newcomers were bringing “chaos and abuse” to Argentina drew criticism from his political opponents and prompted comparisons to U.S. President Donald Trump.link

    While publicly expressing that he is not a defender of the last Argentine military dictatorship, the National Reorganization Process, or the so-called “Dirty War”, he has questioned the estimate of 30,000 said to have disappeared during that period of conflict in multiple occasions.

    Milei proposes the “deregulation of the legal market” for weapons and “the protection of its legitimate and responsible use by the citizens”.

    Milei clearly plays the hard libertarian booklet while creating a path towards a fascist state.
