#stop putting cryptotheism on my dash

[nashaalya]

so i often find msyelf wishing more 'academics' and online pseuds alike had the integrity to actually be batshit crackpots, right, instead of gerrymandering language in such a way they simply appear to hold crackpot ideas while having the intellectual creativity and whimsy of a hardtack—but then i remember the appeal of being a 'crackpot' is analogous to the enduring appeal of occultism. no, mister, i'm no charlatan, i'm a Real Wizard, it's just that i Feel 'magic' to be not the abrogation of natural law that would allow me to raise the dead and split mountains, but rather a kind of magical worldview that lets me recognise whimsy even in natural law itself. didn't you know magnetism, too, is a kind of magic?

anyway. if you think 'catharism wasn't real' is intuitively understood not as 'catharism was fake in the same sense the satanic panic or charges of jewish blood libel were fake', but as 'anti-cathar polemicists had a habit of misidentifying practicing catholics as cathars, and a substantial amount of 'cathars' most likely thought of themselves as catholics a claim that is historically dubious. but whatever', i fear you might simply be retarded. actually if your definition of 'fake' could apply to nazi anti-semitism (for a subtantial amount of so-called 'jews' perseucted by nazis were in fact german-speaking christians) and the protestant reformation (for luther evidently thought of himself as a roman catholic until worms), maybe you should cease w all pretensions of being a historian entirely
