4. anyway, so bogomil, probably had the usual baggage, but I bet this specific bit didn’t work out too well for them

5. Link uses the term manichaeism in this interview and I don’t know it but didn’t look it up because I wanted to keep reading. then this morning I’m reading https://inthesetimes.com/article/former-left-right-fascism-capitalism-horseshoe-theory and it’s got manichaeism used too.

   Dang. so I go pop open https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manichaeism and from there eventually land on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bogomilism, which, haha, explains the last Link novel’s name for one of the characters, “Bogomil.”, which I let slide when I read that.

   I’m a very, very credulous reader. "Oh, ok, whatever.”
