>>727775IDK, American evangelicals most be the most cucked simping so much for Israel. There is a side to Protestantism I dislike (the more rabid, low church sort), albeit I also find also Catholicism to have annoying aspects as well.
Orthodox Christianity is among the least abrasive on a secular front and secular meaning politics (albeit Orthobros will still complain about Enlightened Absolutism and Peter the Great to me). That is probably cucked to /leftypol/, but I am speaking as a monarkiddie and not an anarkiddie.

You would think for my absolutist tendencies I would find more common ground with Catholicism. It's not that I have trouble with the idea of th
