This reminds me of a conversation from a thread a few years back (iirc). The basic premise was that the Nag Hamaddi Library gets discovered way earlier than OTL, leading to a Gnostic revival. By choosing select doctrines, anti-semites have what they always wanted in a non-jewish Christianity to...

I think with the right circumstances, Zabbateans could form a distinct and successful religion. The Rosicrusians in particular could serve as sponsors given that a Kaballistic messiah would be right up their alley.

Im not too sure thats possible. The Sikhs really came into their own during the Mughal collapse, and too strong a display before that would essentially have to be an overt puppet to actively fight back.

Wanking the Sikh empire is probably your best bet. Maybe have some European power give it considerable aid/defend it from the British.

That isn’t really a 3rd faction as much as it is just a description of different groups that were part of but not separate from the 2 factions.

That’s not quite true. I mean the Norse side for the most part isn’t divided as such intentionally, but very much was thematically, with various entities on one side of Ragnarok being pretty explicitly evil and against the side with gods of justice, the home and other values that were good in...

What a wonderfully weird man. As a father of a 2 year old, I am most baffled by what on earth he thought 2 year olds could do to be productive XD

A few that I find interesting: A khajirite wank. Although it’s an oversimplification, it would be interesting to see how a might-makes-right dominant theology would turn out. Probably we would end up with something more sustainable like the Ibadis, but it’s interesting nonetheless. Another...

A few of us have touched on it, but it’s worth noting that it isn’t so much a political ideology in and of itself. Singular Italians can literally be of any political persuasion except for Luddism

Particularism also, is not an ideology. It’s a stance or value, of which ideologies are made up. You can’t have a particularist group because it fundamentally wouldn’t describe any position in isolation, in a similar fashion to how if I said I was a vegan, my actual political positions could...

Roads are the main thing, but people have made bikes using more primitive techniques (as some people have mentioned, wooden bikes with bamboo wheels are a thing). The specifics of your setting changes things quite a bit, but theoretically if basic fire manipulation is part of the setting, an...

That is interesting, but a non ethnic nationalism isn’t that obscure imo. 1) I think you are in the wrong thread, “climatism” isn’t an ideology. A quick google shows it to be a term used by climate science denialists to attack a straw ideology. 2) you appear to be describing primitivism which...

Honestly, I think even with a Mormon victory there, the US as a whole is in way too strong a condition for an independent Deseret to survive. Aside from being an easy propaganda target, it’s more than likely that Young’s pro-slavery stance (otl changing it only after it became untenable) would...

Apparently I’m wrong, go ahead! Was The Locarno fascism strictly seperate from the futurists? If so that’s covered, but otherwise I would like to read them all

Iirc they had a lot of overlap (outright with Jakob Frank) in terms of their circles, albeit it has been a long time since I sought out their writings.

The links between Kabbalah and alchemical societies existed long before the 1600s, and by the time of the Rosencruzians there was a degree of shared interest/communication going far into the Middle East. Them being aware of this new messiah is pretty assured.

I am inclined to think that it wouldn’t become too big, but I could definitely see it doing very well in some unexpected circles. For instance, movements like the Rosencruzians may have gobbled up that kind of thing (a Kaballah oriented messianism have a lot of overlap with alchemical spiritualism).

I’m fairly sure it’s already been covered

Unless I am missing something, it just seems like fairly bog standard nationalism?

Might I recommend we get some Threadmarks? the ideology below is one that, if I ever had the time, I would love to make into it’s own thing, but it essentially exists as a “third way” between Romanticism and the Enlightenment. Just to be clear, below isn’t my views on the military (I am a...
