Yeah like 99.9% of American"pagans" are just acting out an offensively cobbled together frankenstein of long dead European folk religions, with no actual belief system attached or connection to the tradition.
I mean, some of the prime commandments of Christianity are “don’t kill anyone”, “don’t steal” and “love your neighbour as you would yourself”.
It sure hasn’t stopped them.
Are buddhists necessarily ascetic? I’m not super familiar with buddhism, but I have read stuff written by buddhists and I’m pretty sure I remember one specifically speaking against the idea of asceticism, framing it as something of a needlessly “extreme” approach.

feminist next door is even more wretched than Noah Berlatsky, what a bleak existence
Why are we still here? Just to suffer?
converting to paganism for the pussy is not the craziest thing I’ve seen but it’s up there
Depends on the paganism I guess. Miss me with sacrificing goats to wooden statues, but defending a forest “cuz beside a shitton of scientific evidence of why is good for different reasons, it’s also my religion and if you hurt it I will reignite Notre Dame” is dope.
Hit me with that fucking in fields to make the crops grow and dancing ecstatically around a bonfire. Miss me with that LARPing as a worshipper of god whose rites and priesthood died out thousands of years ago so you just make everything up
Neodruids are similarly weird. Driving to stonehenge and wearing bedsheets… at least they’re part of a community…?
