Posting here because the 5D chess meme was largely popularized as a result of Ameripolitics, but someone actually made 5D chess
This looks more confusing than that 4D maze game I played once. And that game was no slouch at confusing me!
Uh, so what's the cure? Oh wait do they mean Hydrochoroquine? Ah, the Witch-Doctor Stella, of course.
See, I can see the appeal of wanting to believe that witchcraft is real because witchcraft is effin sweet, but then when you say that it's real and also evil I just don't understand how you can go on living like, there are magical powers you can use but god won't let you that sucks
Uhm god let's you use them but only through Jesus obviously
Now see in the middle ages, the position of the Catholic Church position was that
believing in Witchcraft was superstition, heretical tantamount to practicing a pagan religion in-and-of-itself. Witchhunts still occured, obviously, but the infamous "Malleus Maleficarum" was banned by the church, the inquisitor responsible was censured, and the Spanish Inquisition instructed its members not to believe it. It is a peculiar product of the so-called "Modern Era" that they increased so significantly, in response to the pressures of modernity. (A similar phenomenon can be observed in mid-late Qing China, with the 1768 "Soul-stealer" crisis: An apparent bout of "hexing" triggered alarmbells from the Qing as it involved attacks where people's Queues (the pig-tail imposed by the Manchu on all males) were cut off. The witchcraft alarmed the populace, the threat to the Mandate + the political undertones of the queues led to a perfect storm of panic, from the Emperor down, covering the whole of the country and lasting six months.) It's in fact why the
Witch-cult Hypothesis was so prominent despite lacking evidence, as an easy way to explain this apparent discrepancy between modernity and increased witchhunting.
Is this being paraded around to distract us from something else?
Um, perhaps the fact that 150,000 Americans have died from an infectious disease in the last six months with no signs of this abating? Perhaps.
