I've done modest reading by and about the US ones. A couple may try to be antipope, but my guess is a dissatisfied settling around vague sedevacantism. The factions will fight over the characteristics of their ideal anti-woke antipope, but never settle and just continue to wreck stuff.

Not a shot at you, but even this is like "writer posted to personal Instagram that a writer for a different publication saw Trump but didn't formally publish anything" vague and indirect referencing. This is how we end up with Muslim/Orthodox Jewish NYC interfaith victory dance on 9/11.

If the Twitter account is the popular Pentagon pizza monitor (not sure of name), I'm sad that upon further observation they report unusual activity frequently so as to tell us nothing. I want silly indicators like this to work, but they often just don't.

Look, I read an old European history book when I was 11 at my grandmother's home that framed things this way. The x- number of history books I've mostly chosen to read since didn't changed that. Surely if the history discipline debated this I would have known.
