Why do Europeans pretend the caste system is this horrible phenomenon that's entirely unique to India while they still continue to worship nobility?

Why do Europeans pretend the caste system is this horrible phenomenon
Why does OP pretend that some random fanart of a long-dead monarch is indicative of modern Europeans "worshiping nobility"?
Why do you pretend like this is "just some fanart"?
Pic related, Natalia Poklonskaya, member of the Russian Duma (parliament) with an icon of Nicholas II.
It's officially sanctioned by the Russian orthodox church.
Majority of russians adhere to the orthodox church.
Orthodox church official doctrine is worship of Nicholas II.
Therefore majority of russians need meds.
>It's officially sanctioned by the Russian orthodox church.
That doesn't make it any less blasphemous. What ever happened to 'no graven images'?
I'm not saying you're wrong I'm just saying your position on this is the opposite of the official position of the Russian orthodox church.
>Orthodox church official doctrine is worship of Nicholas II.
Its not
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canonization_of_the_Romanovs Dedicated temple just to them.
>implying it's much better

>links a church used as a museum not for worship
let me guess you are american
>builds a temple to someone
>it's not for worship you guys...
Uh it's not worship it's veneration™
>build a museum temple to commemorate the killing of romanovs
>this clearly means nicholas is worshipped like a god
americans cannot comprehend anything regarding faith and god
again
>build a TEMPLE
>TO THE GUY
>doesn't mean the worship of the guy is sanctioned by the church that build and maintains the temple
I'm not American, you're probably some seething Catholic tho
the temple was built to his entire family not to himself
also
>implying saints are prayed to
Are saints not prayed to? What are you on about, lad?
saints are not prayed to you ask them to pray for you to god
>"Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective."
-James 5:16
Incorrect.
Also your quote has next to nothing to do with what you're saying?
lol you're grasping at straws. Orthodox, Catholic, and high-church protestants pray to saints to pray to God for them. You can play semantic games all you want but that doesn't hide the fact.
>saints aren't prayed to
now you're just making shit up
Yes russians worship him and his family, your point?
Kulaks, not Russians.
Most Russians are atheists

even if this was definitive proof that orthodox (eastern) europeans generally "worship" nobility, they're not the ones crying about social injustice in 3rd world shitholes like india anyway so your point is still moronic
You don't seem to understand.
>social injustice bad
>inherent hierarchy bad
and in the same breath
>praying for nobility
>praying TO nobility
it's as though they don't see nobility as a hierarchy you're born into, which is exactly what the caste system is.
Nobody is actually doing those things "in the same breath" as you say, though. The conservative orthodox types are not the same people concerned with social injustice in India and such.
Maybe not "concerned" but definitely looking down on India. The general zeitgeist in Europe is that the caste system is something unique to India and viewed negatively, and yet this same zeitgeist also permits most people to worship nobility.
>comparing Nicholas II to Christ
isn't that blasphemous?
The idea that Martyrs embody Christ is hardly new or sacreligious. This image is a bit egregious, maybe, but ultimately there's no real conflict between its message and Christian orthodoxy (or Orthodox Christianity).
only people who really need to take their meds "worship nobility"
And that’s why I prefer the Catholic Church
I’m glad Lenin made that fool disappear
>implying
The Russian gentry were already falling apart decades before the revolution happened
Because if you started calling social hierarchies in the rest of the world "castes" you'd have to find a new word for the indian system, which was how it got its name in the first place
Why do you post a russian example when the bongs and their obssesion with their nobles is better example?
The British are a bit too obvious, it'd invite a bunch of "it's only the British and nobody else" arguments.
He is literally worshiped as equal to Jesus in the Orthodox church.
There’s only a select few nobles (the well known royal family) with any cash in the UK, most are flat broke and nobody cares
Doesn't mean they aren't worshipped.
The national anthem is titled "God save the Queen", with said queen being the head of the Anglican church.
