We learned about Native American erasure in high school. This was a diocesan-run academy with a our AP history guy being a history writer focused on King Philip’s War and the direct aftermath, and we spent almost half of the year on that focus. I know to ab absolute certainty that he cast a wider net and briefly discussed the different assimilation programs imposed on natives in different areas, the northern schools included. They were doing the same exact shit on the same scale in New England but we’re talking about entire villages set up for bringing the Indians into civilized culture.

I don’t understand this hill you want to die on. We literally just spent the last decade finding out just how many priests in the church were sexual predators. We are talking about the psychology of people dedicated to God, oftentimes dealing with people who they believed and understood to be a lesser form of human that had to be literally handheld to come into god’s grace. We are talking about otherwise child-bearing women with no sexual outlet living in the middle of fucking nowhere. Did they all go crazy? No, nobody’s saying that. But insisting there was no fucked up shit happening ever and insisting that the ‘proof’ needs to come in a format you can instantly digest is just fucking lazy. I saw with my own eyes when our VP walked into our religion class, pulled out deacon/head of services to escort from the premises in 2003 during the Cardinal Law scandal. A fucking kid diddler made it to the head of services at a prestigious school. The infestation of the church with bad actors cannot be understated.

The nuns in the school system here got phased out when I was a child but my sister was taught by some habit-wearers (I myself was taught by the lay and several who had rescinded their church vows but remained working for the diocese.) There was stories from the old generation of terror nuns that got off on hitting kids. I was shown an area in one of the rooms where they used to make kids kneel in sharp gravel as a disciplinary action. I’m not saying there’s a small step between ‘nuns thwapping delinquents in the 70s’ versus ‘kid diddling fetish nuns’, but your absolute denial of a historical precedent for physical and sexual abuse in various catholic run institutions just. Doesn’t hold water, period.

If podcasts don’t work and you can’t just google a research paper whose conclusion is ‘the Catholic Church employed various shitty people throughout history’, I don’t know what to tell you. I think it’s just an uncomfortable concept you don’t want to believe because it somehow lessens the legitimacy of the church, but I don’t need to tell you how insane that is.

Well the good news is that literally nobody alive gives a fuck about correcting the ignorant world view of bitter old men who need to live in a state of denial about facts. You keep posting the same shit over and over bruv, whatever gets you off.

Next thing you know they'll be making fun of white culture and how they name their sons and show white people forming gangs of murderous men instead of obeying the law.
I am only posting what is shown.
I can't help that a few of you are so soybent that your mouth self lubricates pussy juice.

The older nuns in Catholic school were the scary ones. There was an elderly nun who used to tote around a purse that she must have kept like 100 dollars worth of change in given how heavy the thing looked. She would wield that thing like a fucking medieval flail and smack the arms of misbehaving kids with it, leaving black&blue welts.

I was a little shocked that they let a lesbian nun rape the kid. That's decidedly not woke. Of course there were abuses, lots of them and of course there were shitty abusive violent nuns and priests. There were also fantastic ones.

They aren't bringing much new to the table though with that storyline much like they wouldn't have if they had a priest with a heart of gold. It seems to mainly be a vehicle to get Rainwater onboard. The terrain she's traveling through is awesome. It reminds me of my family trips as a child.

The travel stuff is just boring. I know they are using it to show the troubles of the times but it ain't good tv.

I am guessing that the lions, elephants, and sharks were a way to show how she actually gets toughened up. She is from high society where talk is all they have. I actually do not mind her character but did expect her to die at some point. At this point, I think she becomes the new tough bitch matriarch. The problem is that there are two women essentially in the same roles. You have the wife of the son on the ranch and the wife of superman coming to the ranch. I feel like one of them is going to die.

I feel like I saw more plot development in the almost equal time spent on commercials than I did in that last episode

So we have 30 episodes left?




I feel like I am literally watching a book to show format at the rate they are carrying this. It is good but I honestly just wish they would have released the whole season at once. Watching once a week really makes it drag along. I feel like it would not feel nearly as slow if a person could just watch it through at once or at least 2 episodes at a time. The guy who wrote this really does have some kinky fetishes that he wants to project. Could have completely done away with the Timothy Dalton spank scene and nothing would have been lost. We get it. He is a bad bad man who deserves a spanking.

That would make since since he’s the last of the “true Daltons” and they will carry on the family name.
I still hate her tho. Lol

Next week is the final ep of this season. They are going to have to wrap up a LOT of shit fast, or it's going to be a cliffhanger.

At the rate they have been going, the entire season will be a cliff hanger. Nothing will be wrapped up. Now if the last episode is 3 hours long, then maybe they can wrap a few things up. Superman had not even crossed the ocean and entered into the United States yet. I would be shocked if they let him make it to the ranch, but yeah I could see that happening in the last 5 minutes. His entrance better be grand and not this, "him and his wife meander in after the conflict" kind of shit. This really should have been released all at once.

It’s going to be multiple seasons, they don’t really need to “wrap anything up” other than Dalton getting back to the US.
