glad I’m not the only one who noticed the orthobro purity spiraling. “Erm, Trump isn’t a heckin based trad ROCOR orthodox emperor so I can’t vote for him!” While I myself am orthodox I don’t think it’s healthy to develop a form of religious OCD. These types fail to realize that Trump at least supports religious institutions, whereas the democratic party is hell-bent on destroying any traditional values whatsoever. Pick your battles.
Indeed, this is a real malaise in the sphere. People retreat back into visions of the the ideal out of dislike of reality, but in doing this so fervently and uncompromisingly, they consciously reject their role as historical actors, arguably against the will of God, who put us all in this era for a reason.

It literally only accomplishes making Orthodoxy look bad amongst Westerners. It’s never a good look.
