Are you gonna celebrate grav-mass this year?
>On December 25, Isaac Newton's birthday, we celebrate the existence of comprehensible physical laws. Remember, Gravitation is a well-established scientific theory, but Intelligent Falling is just religion pretending to be science. One way to celebrate Grav-Mass is to decorate a tree with apples and other fruits. Glue them or attach them, but not too well! The idea is that occasionally a fruit should fall. Put them on the tree no more than 2 feet up, so that they won't get damaged or hurt anybody when they fall. Investigating and perfecting the methods for doing this is a great way expose a child to the process of scientifically studying the behavior of the physical world.

Sinterklaas is pretty Christian. Far more Christian than Santa Claus, who's thoroughly secularized.
He's explicitly the Christian Saint Nicholas, uses the same holiday, and wears a mitre with a cross. Sinterklaas is the combination of Christian and Pagan traditions, Santa Claus doesn't add any additional Christianity into the mix. It only borrows a bit from Father Christmas for good measure.

He's a retard who thinks the Hellenist aesthetic and culture is its own distinct religion.The Greeks, Romans, Norse, and Celts, all essentially worshiped the same exact Pantheon of Gods. It was all the same religion, just with slightly varying customs and different names that if anything were just a reflection of the local languages.
The branch of Christianity that is recognized globally is the Western Church or the Latin Church that was established by the First Council of Nicaea in the Roman Empire and was greatly influenced by Roman culture and law. It was basically the Roman State Religion that took over traditional Roman religion. You'd be a fool to think it has anything to do with its original Jewish sect but superficially at best.

Also, Stallman said that what he really hated about Christmas was the blatant consumerism and the idea that you have to buy something.

Because if you're going to suggest that Christmas as it is practiced today has anything to do with religion, you're kind of delusional.

It is so low that your societies would have already collapsed were it not for diluting yourselves with a flood of Muslims to pay down the human debt accrued from 60 years of children that were never born.

Little-known fact: Young-earth creationism, and religious opposition to evolutionary biology with it, barely date back to the 1920s. Back when discoveries like Abraham Gottlob Werner's in geology and Charles Darwin's in evolution were made, churches were largely ambivalent, and rapidly accepted scientists' findings with little objection. To this day, every major church (Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Anglican, Lutheran, etc.) holds mainstream science as official doctrine.
Instead, young-earth creationism and anti-evolution sentiment is primarily the doing of a small, kooky fundamentalist sect in the US called Seventh-Day Adventists, and in particular to a series of pamphlets written by George McCready Price in 1923. From there, it spread through other fundie sects in the Anglosphere by the 1930s, thence to the rest of the world.

I'm not trying to defend their beliefs, but just thought I'd get that out there SDAs are not even half as weird as shit like Mormons.

There is a war on Christmas. I live in a very liberal city but most people I know are from Christian background. No one says Merry Christmas. People from my home country notice immediately that no one says Merry Christmas and that people get awkward when you do say it.
Some employers of customer facing employees instruct their employees not to say "Merry Christmas". My company doesn't say anything specific but there is such an atmosphere of political correctness that people feel compelled too ay "Happy Holidays".

Christmas starts in October now. There is no war. If there's anyone you should be pissed at it's people making money from your religious holiday, but that's all anybody knows it as. Instead of being pissed off at people telling you to skip church, be mad at people using your religion to sell shit. I remember Jesus whipping some Jews over that.

I don't think Christmas is a whites only thing, and I really think you're reading too much into it. Edgy atheists have always been that way, and there's no reason you can't build a community of like-minded individuals without religion or other such bullshit (including atheism). If you're talking politics and such things, I don't see parties being torn down and done away with, or any political action groups. If you're not active in that regard, then you've only yourself to blame. Are you even a member in any professional organization? That's mostly white guys basically all over the tech industry.

But you do. What happened to/did Sanders? And he wasn't even going to change much.
Assuming we're North American. Try, for example, to create a party with the main public objective of removing your government's dependence on the private corporation that is the Federal Reserve, returning to the gold standard, or regulating the amount of interest a bank is permitted to charge you based on your income. Try something like that and see what happens.
You're advocating playing a rigged game as a way of exercising your freedom. You are naive beyond belief. Then again this is /tech/ and nobody expects you to have an informed opinion about how the world works.
I don't know if there's a war against Christmas, whites or whatever, but we are certainly herd arguing which part of the pen is the "freest".

Do you have any idea how hard they mindfucked white men in tech over the past 20 years? The SV ones I have to deal with practically punctuate sentences with some sort of faggotry. This was done intentionally to make sure none of the people the Jews are depending on to build a surveillance society to enslave whites throw a wrench in the machine when they notice what it's doing to their people. Argue with them about it sometime and you'll eventually reach the "Well it's for the better as humanity is a disease on this planet and white people have done so many terrible things" tier. That self-hate suicide cult bullshit didn't used to be in their heads.

The party, actually. A group of people decided to gang up on an individual. The opposite of what you're claiming. Then we have the triumph of Trump, who was an individual standing against the party. Believe it or not, things are a bit more complex.
>Try, for example, to create a party with the main public objective of removing your government's dependence on the private corporation that is the Federal Reserve, returning to the gold standard, or regulating the amount of interest a bank is permitted to charge you based on your income.

It's called the libertarian party, and nobody is interested. You're basically complaining that your ideas aren't popular.
>You're advocating playing a rigged game as a way of exercising your freedom. You are naive beyond belief. Then again this is /tech/ and nobody expects you to have an informed opinion about how the world works.
I believe technological solutions are more permanent than political ones, but that doesn't mean we should stay out of politics, because they are everywhere.
>I don't know if there's a war against Christmas, whites or whatever, but we are certainly herd arguing which part of the pen is the "freest".
Well, the argument was about a supposed war on Christmas, so I guess we can conclude that if there is, we can't seem find evidence of it.

I'll take that as a no. If you aren't involved in IEEE at the very least, you're fucking up. But if you feel like complaining about Jews instead, go ahead.

I'm honestly horrified to read such ignorant and at the same time condescending responses.
It is true Trump was against the Republican party, but he had a massively powerful apparatus behind him, and contrary to what /pol/ might have you believe, their goal is not to be the saviours of Western Civilization. Just to take power in their own hands. Please listen to this: parties mean shit. Agendas are promoted by individuals and groups of individuals who do not label themselves for public consideration.
Perhaps Sanders was not the best example.
>You're just complaining your ideas are not more popular
Ask yourself this: why did you assume those are my ideas?
My point just was that if you try to change certain things for certain powers you will hit a brick wall or media invisibility. And you will certainly not be popular, as you observed.
And then there's this... You really think people decide what they consider popular? You think 90% of your ideals and opinions are your own? I myself realize every day something or other I believe turns out has been put there by media influence or peer pressure. I'm not even mad, I'm appalled someone on 8chan would show this level of ordinariety.

First, I don't think it is true that not saying "Merry Christmas" attracts more customers. Look at what the NFL is doing, is that attracting more customers? Sometimes business owners do things for other reasons. In this case i think it's either being Jewish or extreme liberals themselves, or being influenced by this mindset where inclusivity trumps all other considerations.
Second, even if it was good business to say "Happy Holidays" it doesn't mean that it's ok or normal. Our society is not completely dominated by capitalism or the profit motive. If you believe that, you are either far left or have allowed far left thinking to influence you. As I said above, business owners don't have to 100% maximize profit in all cases, and could choose to carry on (or not interfere with) this tradition if they wanted.
So what we have is that people in power are making a choice to repress the term "Merry Christmas", either because they are far left and/or Jewish or because they are influenced by that mindset. And that, in my opinion, constitutes a "war on Christmas".
Btw you also come across as really pissy and passive aggressive. I never attacked you or anyone else, just giving my opinion.
>>842638
I don't care about commercialization. I like capitalism overall, it's one of the reasons the West is so nice to live in. Maybe Christmas is too commercial but that is a minor issue to me. In any case, Christmas hasn't been exclusively religious for a long time, so singling out this issue comes across as just another excuse to attack Western traditions.
