    Warren, Biden, Sanders... and Trump. How come the boomers (or pre-boomers, whatever) are the only ones left in the running? These people are Bill Clinton's cohort. Remember him? President back in the 90s FFS?

    Anyway, Platonism is the cancer that is killing modern paganism, just as it, via Christianity, killed ancient paganism. It replaces orthopraxy with orthodoxy, mythology with theology, real with abstract, many with One, animism with mundanity.

    Christianity just takes the final step, replacing the now-abstracted gods into a single absolute abstract God, and discards all mythology in favour of a single theology. Instead of multiple stories with multiple interpretations, there is one Truth, and error has no rights.

    The world, the actual present everyday real world, is desacralised, made a bland "mundane" image of a mentally-constructed abstract "perfect world". The gods are abstracted from the real world, turned into mere ideas.

    The gods become mere abstractions in a system of ideal and perfection, and therefore no longer real. Aphrodite is no longer real love as it is in the world, but an abstract "cause" in a mental construction. Her mythology must be sanitised where it contradicts this new theology.

    But Plato replaces subjective goodness with a single objective "Good". If Homer and Hesiod get in the way, well, those myths must be discarded. This mono-idealism is at least half of monotheism. Christianity just takes the next step.

    Before that, goodness is subjective, i.e. "good for me", "good for you". So it doesn't matter if, say, Aphrodite is not always "good", after all, Aphrodite is love, and sometimes love is not good for you. Her mythology does well to reveal this!

    Platonism and Christianity are part of one thing that replaces mythology with theology. Plato had a theological idea, that there was one "good", and discouraged the teaching of the many myths that revealed the gods as flawed.

    Twitter UI idea: the background white of tweets should yellow as they get older, so you can immediately see if a tweet is old.

    This is also my best guess as to what will actually happen.

    Thinking the "two kinds of polytheism" in modern paganism can be characterised as either orthopractic vs. orthodoxic, or as animist vs. Platonist. But it's really one split, not two.

    As someone who's , this is a point in favour of Sanders in the (likely) event that the other two fizzle out.

    This, but unironically. That is: it's perfectly reasonable to endorse more than one candidate (I'm myself), and also, you should fully support both of the "two wolves" inside yourself.
