1. Historical overview

  • The legion is officially named Legio XX Valeria Victrix (“Twentieth Valeria Victorious Legion”). Wikipedia+2Wikipedia+2

  • Founded probably by the emperor Augustus soon after 31 BC. Wikipedia+1

  • It served in Spain (Hispania Tarraconensis) during the Cantabrian wars (25–13 BC). Wikipedia+1

  • It renamed “Valeria Victrix” possibly after a victory under the command of Marcus Valerius Messalla Messallinus (or at least has that gens/lineage reference). Wikipedia+1

  • It played a significant role in the Roman conquest of Britain (AD 43) under Emperor Claudius. Wikipedia+1

  • Its emblem was commonly the boar, a symbol used in Roman iconography for the unit. fiav.org+1

  • It remained active for centuries into Britain, stationed at Deva (modern Chester). Wikipedia+1

  • One major academic work: Legio XX Valeria Victrix — Prosopography, archaeology and history (S.J. Malone, 2006). BAR Publishing+1

2. Re-enactment in Ontario / Canada – what I found

  • I searched specifically for a Canadian (Ontario) reenactment group using the name Legio XX Valeria Victrix, but did not find a confirmed, publicly-active group under that exact name in Ontario.

  • However, I found a Canadian Roman-reenactment group: Legio XXX Ulpia Victrix (Cohort I) based in Southern Ontario / north-eastern USA, active since 2004. Principia Legionis

  • That group’s website: “members represent a cross between living history enthusiasts and edutainers” and they've participated in museum exhibitions in Ontario (ROM Toronto etc). Principia Legionis

  • The source list of Roman reenactment groups reports the Legio XX Valeria Victrix name historically in the U.K. or U.S. context (not necessarily Ontario-based). romanempire.net+1

  • So: It is possible that a local group in Ontario uses the name Legio XX Valeria Victrix, but I could not verify one with a current active website or public schedule in my search.

"We Live In Delusion" Pearl Reacts To The Problems With Most Christian W...

Internet Discussion on Marriage


. \Marriage and Financial Responsibility

  • @mboiko: "She stays: You pay. She goes: You pay. She cheats: You pay. You go: You pay."
  • @tdaye6978: "You make more: You pay. You make the same: You pay. She makes more: You pay."
  • @ThrowItOnTheGrill: "Marriage: Betting half of your assets that she'll love you forever."
  • @crimestoppers1877: "If she is a 'Boss Babe' All the money she earns is HERS, and All the money he earns is Theirs. She always yaps about 'her money' but if her husband wants a hobby, she says 'We can't afford it'."


2. Perception of Gender Roles in Marriage

  • @ThrowItOnTheGrill: "Marriage: Betting half of your assets that she'll love you forever."
  • @crimestoppers1877: "If she is a 'Boss Babe' All the money she earns is HERS, and All the money he earns is Theirs. She always yaps about 'her money' but if her husband wants a hobby, she says 'We can't afford it'."

  • @jeremyweishaar9523: "My pastor just finished a 4-week series shaming men. One thing I will never forget is him telling everyone the reason husbands are not getting laid is because they are not catering to the emotional needs of their wives. He literally said that women's emotions are the head of the house. This only told me that he is not getting laid."
  • @BigStickCombat: "A lot of church men have never had church women act sexual toward them, so they think women are pure creatures. As a big-time church-goer, this hit home."
  • @doc_adams8506: "I have lived in the Southern Baptist church from birth. Young men are not given a stake in the outcome or a seat at the table. Blaming men has become a national epidemic."
  • @stevengrutzmacher: "As a young Catholic husband, I was shocked to discover the realization that I was sincere in my vows, but the woman isn't. Sex stops almost immediately after she has her desired number of kids. She stays close with her Mom and her girlfriends, mainly to talk about how awful the husbands are."

3. Church and Religion

  • @jeremyweishaar9523: "My pastor just finished a 4-week series shaming men. One thing I will never forget is him telling everyone the reason husbands are not getting laid is because they are not catering to the emotional needs of their wives. He literally said that women's emotions are the head of the house. This only told me that he is not getting laid."

  • @doc_adams8506: "I have lived in the Southern Baptist church from birth. Young men are not given a stake in the outcome or a seat at the table. Blaming men has become a national epidemic."
  • @deathcyth1987: "I am a devout Christian, I've been chased out of many many churches for my approach to life. Stoichism was met with hostility, strength was met with accusations. I've been told over and over about sacrificing for women is the Christian thing to do. I never saw a Christian woman ready to sacrifice for me. Took me 3 decades to find a church that I could call home."
  • @LazyH1984: "I stopped going to church when I realized that they refused to call out sexless marriage as a violation of the marriage vows. I followed the rules and waited for marriage like I was taught and I waited for nothing. I'll never set foot in a church again. They ruined my life."
  • @RafaelSantos-vg3jd: "Married twice. Both to Christian women who were involved in church. Both divorced me and not for any Biblical reasons. Both left me with nothing after the divorce and I had to rebuild my life twice. Never again."

4. Disillusionment with Traditional Institutions

  • @deathcyth1987: "I am a devout Christian, I've been chased out of many many churches for my approach to life. Stoichism was met with hostility, strength was met with accusations. I've been told over and over about sacrificing for women is the Christian thing to do. I never saw a Christian woman ready to sacrifice for me.

  • @FireFighterChen: "Red Pill is not just about sexual value. It's about accepting reality about everything in life. Work, finances, relationships, health, politics, etc. That's why MGTOW is getting big, because we took sexual value out to focus on everything else."
  • **@John__: "This is why MGTOW is the answer."
  • @BigStickCombat: "A lot of church men have never had church women act sexual toward them, so they think women are pure creatures. As a big-time church-goer, this hit home."

5. Red Pill and MGTOW (Men Going Their Own Way) Philosophy

  • @FireFighterChen: "Red Pill is not just about sexual value. It's about accepting reality about everything in life. Work, finances, relationships, health, politics, etc. That's why MGTOW is getting big, because we took sexual value out to focus on everything else."
  • **@John__: "This is why MGTOW is the answer."
  • @Gods-bad-boy: "Red pill philosophy is just understanding male and female nature. It's not a 'movement.' It's a philosophy for each man to figure out for himself."

  • @dr.dealgood2690: "Pearl, you should interview the Christian red Pill community. They have been talking about why men have left the Churches for decades."
  • @AnonymousSquirrel123: "Pearl, you are spot on, but you don't know about one thing: as we age, we change a LOT more than women do. By middle age, most of us have 1 or 2 crazy ex's under our belt, and we have arrived at a point where our trust (and with it, our desire) for women is starting to attenuate. By age 50 or 60, most of us are quite happy to be close to celibate - the BS just isn't worth the trouble.
