And in the United States billions are spent on greater, more glorious bombs as every year thousands of people starve to death with money that could be invested on improving things there. Every year people remain locked in perpetual civil warfare because by this point people have grown up knowing only warfare and have no understanding of peace. Every year Indigenous peoples on two continents exist in concentration camps because a genocide enabled the great continent-spanning civilizations to grow great as they were subjected to extermination and assimilation by force.

At the end of this century 90% of human languages will be extinct. At the end of this century in fact it's debatable if we will recognize the world's political situation at all when climate change starts biting everyone in the ass hard.

So don't whine about the Pope, who has no divisions, and no actual influence, certainly not with a little scrap of land next to the old Papal states. Popes have never succeeded in getting the Faithful to honor their words in any means other than the breach. This very day citizens in the United States passively watch one ongoing creeping genocide of a people by a state that is one of our most fervent allies and remain locked in intractable wars and hemorrhaging our future on wars we will never win and have not the ability to do so.

In short, who gives a fuck what Pope Sidious thinks? How many divisions has the Pope?
