I just said what I did because your comments are really good, except that you tend to undermine your credibility sometimes. That being said, your commenting is your business. It just seems like you could offer a lot more if you brought research, facts, and citations to the table, since you are usually spot on. Hopefully, you take my advice in understanding that I am delivering it with love and the understanding that I see potential in you. God bless!
I got caught up in an autistic reply to this because I do think the topic of credibility can be expanded on, but I think I can summarize what I wanted to say
people might talk smack on your own credibliity. we cant see his face, who is this crusaderpepe anon dude. he has no "ADVANCED THEOLOGIEZ DEGREE" so why should we listen. he has no official authority! these might be legit criticisms in normal times but our "official Catholic authorities" today can be proven often to be wrong by people without any credibility or degrees, so imo all bets are off. I consider you as "credible" insofar as you share info that I think is correct.
trads also lack credibility today, both in disputes among themselves they can't resolve (sedevacantism vs. sedeplenism and so on) and demonstrable public errors made. maybe mostly though we're fighting a one-sided battle where the "official authority in Rome has decided against traditional Catholic views being acceptable". Hence to be traditionalist is automatically thought to not be credible.
so, I think maybe instead of trads striving to be credible (probably not going to win anyone over, besides maintaining basic moral integrity), we have to tear down the modernists' credibility, and then insert trad credibility into the aftermath of that demolition: "no, modernism is not credible: traditionalism is".
in any event it feels like boomer trads are just leaving the youth abandoned to modernist chaos instead of there being much active dismantling of credibility going on. Traditionalism isn't quite as activist as say MAGA is in politics (just yet anyway). I mean the papal elections since 1958 are basically from a sedevacantist viewpoint "stolen" just like Trump claims the u.s. presidential 2020 election was stolen. But we hardly have the same kind of "stop the steal" "movement" like we see with Trump / MAGA as attacking the credibility of the 2020 u.s. presidential election.
Yeah, I pretty much agree with everything you are saying. A big part of what I talk about though is the ontological war on reality. And the biggest problem in this war is the metaframe our society takes that subjective experience is more important than objective reality. That's a big reason why I, as a warrior defending the Truth, strive to prove things objectively, instead of giving "hot takes" or "my opinion" or being a "talking head". Who I am is not important. My opinion or "hot take" is not important. All that is important is objective reality and subjective perspectives are just flawed simulacrums, and our side needs everyone to buy into this metaframe, because it's objectively true and winning people over based on "hot takes" without appealing to objective reality keeps people in this false egregore and focused on the dialectics and spectacle, instead of humbly and dispassionately focusing on objective Truth, which is what we all ought to be doing.
