Yeah, the Catholic Church guarded access to education, preventing the rest of the commoners from learning how poorly they translated the Bible to maintain control of the people. It’s too bad the Protestant movement didn’t destroy the Catholic Church.

You mean despite of Christianity.

The book is bigger than at its base. Our society cannot progress without removing it from a focal point.

Progress won’t come from any Christianity (and likely almost any religion, but I don’t know others well enough to comment). They will either need to denounce the book as being bullshit and decide to progress or they will continue to hold society behind.

Got to love the constant partisan distraction machine.

Congrats on the booming economy while we’re helping with genocide overseas and we have record homelessness here.

They are celibate voluntarily because of the shooting behavior. They don’t deserve to name themselves.

I literally said I’d vote for him.

Your inability to actually discuss the argument instead of just simping for your genocidal Uncle Joe is pathetic.

People wonder how average Germans allowed the Nazi party to go so far. We are talking about literal fucking genocide and you come in here and says “but it’s the best version of genocide we got” while throwing up your hands and immediately insulting anyone who complains.

It’s no wonder things keep going so far when we continue lowering the bar and there’s still simps willing to lecture people while their Party helps commit mass murder.

I love how readily you dehumanized the people getting killed over there so you could easily suck the Dems. Typical liberal.

Who said to do nothing? I’m saying this path is also terrible.

We as a people, and specifically the commenters who insist these are the only options, are consciously choosing between the two paths that lead to genocide. We are specifically saying we are too comfortable and indifferent to demand the changes to prevent it.

That’s insane.

They already do. The important difference between then and now is he won’t be around to keep making up nonsense.

Anyone insisting that the only way to move forward is to vote for someone who is promoting genocide is effectively saying that, yes.

That people need to start by stopping this “only voting matters” narrative that so many push. I know people try to counter that by saying that people are overworked and don’t have time for protests or any other direct action, but the Labor Movement was done by people working 70ish hour weeks.

More people need to be willing to protest. Until they are, things aren’t going to meaningfully get better.

Right now, the message I get from a lot of these conversations here is that the President is allowed to have a little genocide as a treat because otherwise there could be more genocide. It’s completely insane.

They’re doing what they’ve always done, trying to get money. This shouldn’t be a shock.

“voting is the only way to create change” is the mentality that got us here.

You know why George Floyd’s murderer was the only one who got the sentence he deserved? Because the people demanded it by threatening capital.

Right, how could someone not want to vote for someone because they support genocide? How ludicrous.

I’ll still vote for Biden because I’ll already be in the booth, but sitting back and acting like this is our only option is nonsense.

Voting alone does not create change. Labor Movement, Women’s Suffrage, Civil Rights, all were accomplished by active resistance and here you are spouting nonsense about how we should all just participate in the system that’s circling the drain instead of disrupting it.

The longer you all take to come around the worse it will get, no matter which major party is in the Oval Office.

If we’re going to have a president who backs fascist regimes abroad no matter what, they might as well be less fascist domestically.

The bar is so fucking low.

Their shitty behavior is what keeps them from getting laid. That makes them volcels.

It doesn’t need to kill them to completely disrupt social order. There’s an estimate out there that there will be up to 1 billion climate refugees by 2050. The Global North already does not handle refugees as well, even though they consistently cause a large amount of the refugee problems.

Jason Isbell is solid.

It used to be farm punk.

Yeah, I agree with that. But you can’t get any more solidarity with the wolves, that’s my point. There’s no reason to be hyperbolic about it since it just pushes people further away from realizing the points of these two men.
