You’re so close to getting better yourself.

You don’t sound like someone who is doing well, why would anyone want to be like you? The folk replying to you are applying empathy and patience while you shut everyone down with vitriol.

Being angry isn’t fun, anger slowly drains you of your joy and energy. Anger only feels like fun when the alternative is to face pain

I’m pretty sure it’s more like: religions define what we find civil as a society. Personal spiritual beliefs define what people find acceptable and unacceptable. Religion align spiritual beliefs among social groups.

The world is cheering that the world pedo protecting org is not using its political influence to spread further political disarray. Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good

The bible is neutral in the production of the hatred, the hate comes from powerful people choosing to justify their hatred with the bible and then ostracizing dissenters who actually apply critically read to the thing.

Framing the bible itself as the cause of hate dismisses the culpability of those who spread hate

There’s a lot of literature on anti-capture design

Could you please point me to some links? I was unable to find anything on a cursory internet search, all the results were about preventing screen grabs

I have learned that people tend fulfill my expectations of them, so if i want them to do better i have to genuinely expect better of them and treat them with utmost compassion when they miss the mark

they are despised by everyone in even halfway larger cities and don’t play a role there

Congrats on capturing MAGAs role in America so eloquently. Those are not laurels to be resting on my friend

What the heck is a democrate? Is that like a crate of demolition goodies, or an act of demolishing and crating your enemies? I’m not sure your opinion can be taken seriously when you haven’t even seen their name spelled out enough to have that down pat

I dunno, kinda feels to me that liberalism has lost so the polite thing to do would be to give them a dose of reality that could very well save their lives

We are going to be required to interpret the bible as justifying conservative power hierarchies, which requires ignoring surface level interpretations of most of the book.

The fascists have done a damn fine job of consolidating power in the church by grossing out most of the leftists into not attending, now the physical place designated for moral and ethical debate and community organization in society is dominated by the right.

If you are a self proclaimed leftist in America i implore you to get your butt into a church pew and integrate with their community, only tithe if you are confident the money is serving the community, and lead everywhere you can.

See now if failure to pass the empathy class results in your forced destitution there might be some incentive to pay attention

Maybe, just maybe, we should stop the known arsonist - who has declared they are going to burn all our houses down and is now gleefully walking to our neighborhood with a can of gasoline and a blow torch - before they get to the first house

I think you might be misinterpreting her words as descriptive rather than prescriptive. Mexico do declare they ain’t subordinate

Do it! Just go in there and fuck that shit up

It was called the “tea party”, any new movement within the democratic party will need to differentiate itself in name to make significant headway, so we will probably get a “new party” just as a division in the old one expressed through the primary system (assuming our democracy makes it that far)

If i could take a moment to cite the opening to the lords prayer:

Our Father who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come.

Thy will be done

on earth as it is in heaven.

The ability to make one being a christian not by default be a socialist as well is a continuous theological labor for the capitalist

This is very clearly a post for the united states where the history makes the game. What other ethnic groups in the good ol’ US of A have been historically complicit with the police and systemic oppression?

Answer: once ethic groups stop being oppressed here we start calling them white. Irish and Italian immigrants used to be non-white until it became convenient to bundle them in.

Every church has the potential to become the a mutual aide community. It’s what Jesus would have wanted

How we be sure you are Australian when you are talking right side up?

My country is in this comment and i don’t like it
