Batiushka, your and Hudson’s historiography in re 1054 is accurate in spirit and hyperbolic in specifics. To wit:
1- America is not an enslaving hegemon. American oligarchs are enslaving hegemons, just like most oligarchs. Certain groups nurse ambitions for self-aggrandizement and scheme successfully to lay hands on powers of American government and others. These are enslavers, hegemons like those who conducted The Highland Clearances. Formerly in America, oligarchs sought industry and trade monopolies. Currently America oligarchs seek monopoly ownership of land and money. Some today are leveraging corridors of action, as they put it, to cause massive human die-off as prelude to easing monopoly ownership of land and money towards themselves.
Former American oligarchs were Episcopalian-Methodist and Presbyterian Republican academics, lawyers, food processors, heavy industry developers, and financial speculators (bankers). Today’s American oligarchs are Ashkenazy Jewish Democrat academics, lawyers, social media techies, “wealth” managers, biochemists, and financial speculators (bankers). Between then and now, three profiles of oligarchy match: academics, lawyers, and bankers. That right there is a significant specific. Know your enemy.
2- The schism of 1054 was a tango. It takes two to make a mess and more than two to build a state. That said, both dancers were degenerate Christians. Today, however, the comparable mess is made by degenerate Christians and degenerate Jews, Ashkenazy varieties, who, with respect to positions of influence in Washington D.C. and academe around the country, significantly outnumber Christians.
Where the schism of 1054 is primarily of Roman Christian making, the schism of 1991, with which we all suffer, is primarily of Ashkenazy Jewish making (the infamous Neocons). That right there is another significant specific. Again, know your enemy.
3- You and Hudson are right about the pain-causers being oligarchs and degenerates. Again, know your enemy.
4- In re 1054, note please that it was the Bishop of Rome who excommunicated the Orthodox Christian Church — as if that can be done — not the Bishop of Tours, not the Bishop of Milan, not the Bishop of Saragossa.
Overall, I recommend simply declaring the 1054 schism mutual stupidity stupidity and on that account null and void. Who’s to say that cannot be done? I just did it. It makes life a lot easier. No more waiting for a great wrong to be righted. Just call it a wrong — a mutual wrong — and carry on with a smile for what needs doing right now, today.
Such as, laying moral, intellectual, and institutional groundwork for what needs building after American and other oligarchs are brought to heel. Get an early jump on it, we can if we set our minds and hearts to it.
It strikes me that President Putin operates in this frame of reference as the prius of statecraft. With it he can make light where that is helpful, and heavy where that is, in consequence.
