St. Xavier is quite closer to modern Saints than to any "Saint" of old, and a lot of saints are Martyrs that suffered under empires that are much closer to America than anything. This is a stupid comparison please go tip your Fedora somewhere else or try to be at least intelligent about it. Most saints were not warmongerers lmao.

Additionally your comment ignores the whole context of what was ging on in Goa at a time but even the most scolding protestants do not see m to qualify St.Xavier to Genghis lmao.

For context:

The 26 Martyrs of Japan (Japanese: 日本二十六聖人, Hepburn: Nihon Nijūroku Seijin) were a group of Catholics who were executed by crucifixion on 5 February 1597, in Nagasaki, Japan. Their martyrdom is especially significant in the history of the Catholic Church in Japan.

A promising beginning to Catholic missions in Japan – with perhaps as many as 300,000 Catholics by the end of the 16th century – met complications from competition between the missionary groups, political difficulty between Portugal and Spain and factions within the government of Japan. Christianity was suppressed and it was during this time that the twenty-six martyrs were executed. By 1630, Catholicism had been driven underground. When Christian missionaries returned to Japan 250 years later, they found a community of "hidden Catholics" that had survived underground.

St. Xavier was likely just seeing the writing in the wall with that comment and probably wanted to avoid something akin to what happened. Similarly perhaps maybe you have a bad concept of the inquisition based on years of (ironically enough) anglo imperial propaganda.

As a matter of fact the inquisition and similar catholic structures were preferred by people as they were more fair than the usual local court.

>The other punchline to the Gold joke is that it's finite. In 120 years it will begin to evaporate from existence as more and more gold chests are simply lost to time.

This is how insane that sounds

Just like Paris

I hate twitter , and a lot, specially before Musk, however it is insane to see some people just starting to complain.

Only when finally those who disagree politically with them have a crumb of a voice.

The place was always horrible problem is this people had an elite of horrible "journalists" being yes men and secluding them from divergent voices.

if you would believe in this statement or if you could stand by your victim blaming I suspect you would not be making this comment from a throwaway account. Beside we know that the pressure that males can put on the looks of women is unfair, why should we give a pass to the same when it affects men ?

the availibility of porn is correlated to people having less and less families, what are you talking about ? Also the Japanese quite obviously do have porn albeit censored, no one thinks that changing that will help, if anything Japan needs to restrict acces to pron and virtualized or parasocial relationships.

saying "Windows does not officially support Vulkan" is a completely blatant cope by maclovers, nvidia and amd, the people that make the cards support it, and windows "supports" their cards, so let's stop being dishonest.

"Vulkan is not an industry standard" I mean yeah, in the same way Microsoft word is not an standard.

"except Switch, but it is so slow" again that seems to be a lie, doom eternal orks way, way better on it than it would be on similar software on a different API.

why ? I think people have the right to start a small venture, like out of all the things to hate, why would you hate people not serving megacorporations ? I am genuinely baffled and would like to know where this opinion comes from.
