Sheep aren’t people. They are mindless tools for the corrupt
It really is alarming how quickly some have shifted to the hard right. Even previous lefty friends have drifted. Sometimes I feel like I’m going insane.
If you really want to piss people off, try adding “…and animals” to the list of things you care about.
The modern conservative is engaged in one of man’s oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.
Stfu you socialist pig. I’m a conservative, I believe in the teaching of Jesus and it says somewhere “Thou shall own liberals”
Jesus died to own the libs?
Pretty sure somewhere in the old testament says that 😏
I’m selfish. I want people educated, housed, and cared for so they don’t rob me.
I don’t want to dump sewage in the river, so I can drink the water when I visit down stream.
😋
If being educated and housed and cared for was enough to not rob me, my employer wouldn’t be trying to steal money from my damn paycheck every month
I want people housed, educated, and queer so they populate niche game lobbies.
I want people housed, educated, cared for, and trans specifically so they keep making great progress on all the open source software I use
If conservatives manage to get rid of all trans people the IT industry will crumble
I’d like to help everyone homeless in my city so the LRT train stations aren’t drug dens smelling of body fluids and excrement. I’d like to walk the river valley in the spring without finding thawing corpses.
YOU MONSTER, HOW DARE YOU!
Don’t drink river water without treating it regardless of human pollution.
You fucking commie
Oh no, back to the shadow realm with me!
right wing rhetorical brainwashing has made them internalize every single mindset that isn’t “every man for himself” as communism. they don’t even know what “communism” means, and they don’t need to. their puppetmasters don’t want them to know. all they need to know is that it’s anti-america and it needs to be eradicated from the earth
Seems to me we’re past that. The problem with the “fuck you, I’ve got mine” principle was the “I’ve got mine” bit, which requires holding something back from the ultra wealthy. If you can distill it down to a simple “fuck you”, you’ve got yourself a much more low-maintenance philosophy. By turning human suffering into a desired commodity, you can appease your voter base without giving them anything of value.
These leftists are so anti-Christian for wanting to… checks notes… “love your neighbor as yourself.” Never heard such anti-Jesus teachings in my life.
Multiple pastors tell me, essentially, the same story about quoting the Sermon on the Mount, parenthetically, in their preaching—‘turn the other cheek’—[and] to have someone come up after to say, ‘Where did you get those liberal talking points?’" Moore said.
“When the pastor would say, ‘I’m literally quoting Jesus Christ’ … The response would be, 'Yes, but that doesn’t work anymore. That’s weak,” he added.
Some people still think evangelicals are christians apparently.
what has millennia of the “no true christian!!!” arguing accomplished?
if someone calls themself a “christian” then that’s what they are, and they’re using the same stone age book of tall tales to argue why they’re the only true christians
fuck religion altogether, i say
what has millennia of the “no true christian!!!” arguing accomplished?
I mean, not much, but rejecting the teachings of Jesus is still literally heresy. If we are to have a useful definition of the word “Christian,” it kinda has to include believing in the word of Christ.
lol according to whom? “true” chrsitians? the ones who are the self-proclaimed “authority” on what that means, and what anything jesus supposedly said means?
nope. “christian” is literally anyone who calls themself christian
No, seriously, there’s been a shift in the way the people use the word evangelical. I’ll have to dig it up, but I saw a street interview recently where a reporter person is interrogating a man identifying as an evangelical who when prodded on the teachings of Jesus responded with “I don’t believe in all that Jesus stuff, I’m an atheist”. Apparently a lot of people are identifying as evangelicals as a political identity, not as a religious identity. Evangelicals literally are no longer Christians anymore.
an evangelical what then?
Republican, in the end
TIL
i guess i shouldn’t be surprised that right-wingers have yet again redefined the human capacity for being paralyzingly stupid
There’s the problem that “Evangelical” is too broad a category, there are churches that historically are considered Evangelical, but don’t share in that anti-christian insanity.
Do you have any idea how bad caring for people and the planet is for the economy? China will destroy us if we don’t focus on profits!!
