Missed the follow-up post to this from tumblr
I could see it either way. The competing visions for ancient evil: Murdering children for asking questions, or the existence of unmarried women.
Yes, just like human countries - on average about that, but also produced on massive country/continent/empire scales.
So moderate that I pledge my loyalty to it & move in its domain, defend it from objectively evil human empires, find inner peace & purpose.
They were just born in the wrong time!
Ancient evil awakens,
tries to invent the extended car warranty,
Doesn’t understand why people aren’t fleeing in terror.
Qual coming at Frieren like…
“I’m going to teach your women to read, and encourage your children to go into a different profession than their fathers’!”
This could be an anime
Those are, on average, still consisted extreme political beliefs, so a war is inevitable - choose your side.
“…and the young shall not know where lieth the things possessed by their fathers that their fathers put there, only just the night before, about eight o’clock.”
Make women show their ankles in public next
Lewd.
Where?
Which evil specifically & where can I find it??What about noses?
Noses don’t have ankles, stupid.
Depends on the religion, I guess.
Cthulhu for president 2024. Why settle for a lesser evil?

- I’ll drive all humanity insane!
- How does the insanity manifest?
- They’ll carve strange sculptures, chant and dance around them, and maybe make orgies."
“ancient evils” are usually things like blasphemy, insubordination or having intrinsic self-worth.
I think ancient evil very much does exist. But it’s the same as modern evil. I figure it must exist, and it’s the presence of this evil that has caused such a fucked up society to emerge.
In other words, this is not the golden age of mankind; quite the opposite I’m afraid… 😝
people on lemmy are so pessimistic (how tf you spell that??)
Evil - a human competitive thing where we as individuals or as groups of people strive to out-evil all previous attempts at extreme-evil.
It’s something that has been flourishing forever, we keep finding new heights.
We’ve been created for this and are really good at it.
It’s almost like modern United States were built on an ancient Indian burial ground…
Oof.
And from the ashes of Roman imperialism, no less. And, by the way, that is the only thing imperialism brings - ashes…
Some of the ruins are pretty neat too. But back then their architecture had style. The ruins of todays concrete and steal cubes are going to be lame.
TIL big box stores = steal cubes. Nice.
Guess that was a freudian missspelling
Idk, subways would be pretty cool to explore, especially the fancy stations in places like Seoul where there are tons of shops and stuff.
Literally. The Mayflower settlers moved into a town that had recently been wiped out by disease. People were still mourning in nearby communities when they just walzed in.
