The way you know it’s a death cult is how they try to destroy their own cultural and historical legacy.

Kyiv is “2.5 Rome” in the #ThirdRome theological view.

Kyiv is halfway to #ThirdRome.

The tsar remanifestation is deep, savage, and incoherent with reality.

“The Mongol period opened up trade routes along the #SilkRoad, which benefited some Rus regions economically. However, the heavy tribute burden and destruction of major cities like #Kiev also led to economic hardship and population shifts, with many people moving northeast, helping lay the foundation for the rise of #Moscow.”

The #theology of #ThirdRome demands reincorporation of Kyiv, which is 2.5 Rome, cuz it produces cognitive dissonance when people talk about the Kievan Rus.

Yes, #ThirdRome #theology is wild af: https://inaniludibrio.com/2024/02/17/third-rome/

So the #ThirdRome theology is fundamental grievance and retribution-based.

It carves a path from Moscow to Kiev, then Istanbul, and Rome.

The #American military-industrial complex is selling out the Republic to supply Putin’s imperial vision.

As a #history nerd, it’s actually quite incredible to witness first-hand.
