I was just curious to see how well known it was.

Do you think there will be an increase of polygyny in Ukraine and Russia following the war?

Praying that all harm caused by useful idiocy be undone. Love of money is root of all kind of evil. I hope to see more exposure like that, including harm caused by likes of Tucker Carlson and Oliver Stone. May God restore Russian people to sanity, and protect Ukrainian people from Western abominations.

Two Russian nationals are accused of funneling nearly $10 million to covertly fund and direct a Tennessee company.

I've always been Right-leaning (I think the vast majority of Christians in the West are; we almost have to be), but I'm glad to see that this is being called to light. The Right has been infiltrated by a lot of FAR-FROM-CHRISTLIKE influences lately and it is time we purge this infection from among us before we become like Laodicaea.Praying that all harm caused by useful idiocy be undone.

Amen. It has been heart breaking experience for me. Apparently there 600 others on the list of suspects in USA alone. During Cold war in 60s and 70s Soviet Russia invested in left leaning politicians and professors, (hence Marxsist tendencies among Western inteligencia like Noam Chomsky and BLM movement) now it appears that Russia invested in right leaning influencers.
I am surprised at how easy it is to purchase self proclaimed Christians. I guess I was very naive.
If that surprises you, then you should probably read Megan Basham's new book about "Shepherds for sale".
I read Voddie Baucham's Fault Lines. Based on listening to couple of podcasts with her as a guest, she exposed the same things in the book. Great suggestion.
I love Voddie
I'm reading it right now.
Except you haven't noticed that any form of socialism will strengthen state. Therefore any state agency is for more socialism.
All those guy could be on CIA's payroll. There is rumor that William Buckley (founder of "modern conservatism" was whole time CIA spook).
Yeah, and there are "rumors" that Tupac is alive, that the Moon Landing was fake, that the Earth is flat, that the British Royal Family are aliens...
What do you mean, "rumours"?? I thought it was all fact-checked.Yeah, and there are "rumors" that Tupac is alive, that the Moon Landing was fake, that the Earth is flat, that the British Royal Family are aliens...
Wow Nick, I didn't know you were a member of the British Royal Family. I mean, Your Highness...
I consider accuracy of info to be like 98% probability of being correct. I trust my source, but I haven't done additional checks to be 100% sure.Yeah, and there are "rumors" that Tupac is alive, that the Moon Landing was fake, that the Earth is flat, that the British Royal Family are aliens...
Besides, CIA has/has interest in stopping anything like Old Right. Isolationism, focus on internal matters, weak state. Such guys won't go on anti-commie crusade. In fact, they would shutdown worthless agency (from their point of view) such as CIA.
Since Buckley purged Old Right, he was CIA's agent in deed. Only question is was he payed agent or useful fool?
Hm. Well, my husband is a detective who used to be an investigative journalist for ten years before joining the Police Force, and his (somewhat expensive) hobby is buying and reading every book he can get his hands on about politics or geopolitics. The result of the latter is that I live in a house that practically doubles as the "politics and conspiracy theories" section of a major library.
All that was to say I've seen enough of these "I readz it on da interwebz" rumors shot down in flames that my knee-jerk reaction to anything I read on the internet, regardless of the source, is "it's hogwash until proven otherwise." If a podcaster told me "the sky is blue," I'd feel the need to look out my window and be sure.
Anyway, returning to the topic of the thread (that is, will there be an increase in polygyny in Russia and/or Ukraine as a result of the war), I can't speak for Ukraine but in Russia it's actually been common for years, albeit only for the wealthy elite. Russian law has all-but-codified a legal status for unmarried mistresses (who I suppose we'd call "concubines" in Biblical parlance but I won't open that can of worms; I've seen how long the debates here have been on that subject
).
Go on! You know you want to. Just do it and experience the excitement.(who I suppose we'd call "concubines" in Biblical parlance but I won't open that can of worms; I've seen how long the debates here have been on that subject
You left out the word "private," dear. Try not to get me arrested for impersonating an officer of the law.
Hear, hear! I can't recommend this enough. This one is almost as damning to the Post-modern Left as "Jesus and John Wayne" is to the supposedly "Christian" Right.
...I feel like I missed a very important conversation here. Or perhaps several.(who I suppose we'd call "concubines" in Biblical parlance but I won't open that can of worms; I've seen how long the debates here have been on that subject
Many women have are already gone into "OnlyFans" which is pornography/prostution. Some hard core radical feminist equate marriage to slavery. So, many of the secular women prefer "sex work" to marriage and see it as an honorable trade. Promiscuity and divorce is one of the tenets put forth by people like Gloria Steinam's to destroy the patriarchy back in the 70s. Which is why abortion is held so sacred. A bunch of children is bad for the cause.Probably more women going into a life of prostitution too.
The harm caused by the "monogamy only" lie is great.
True. And there is also a huge influx of Russian war widows advertising themselves on mail-order-bride websites, flinging themselves at lonely middle-class Western men who either can't win a woman over and thus choose to buy one instead, or who actually WOULD make decent husbands but haven't found a woman in the West worth the effort (either one is the same to a Russubus, as long as he's single and can sponsor a visa and support her vanity). This, in turn, exacerbates the number of embittered single women in the West who blame "The Patriarchy" for the fact that men are not beating down their door and fighting over 300 pound misandrists.
Strangely enough, I see Ukraine being a more likely place for polygyny to become accepted. It's old-fashioned enough that it's still Patriarchal, but liberalized enough that "Traditional" (read 'Catholic') definitions of marriage aren't so unshakeable anymore, in contrast with Russia where the Orc-thodox Church (with their former KGB Pontiff who preaches occultist Shaman Aleksandr Dugin right from the pulpit) holds the same sway over the State that the Catholics did over the Holy Roman Empire.
