    The word “b*rbarian” is a racial slur invented by the Romans and Greeks to attack non-romans and non-greeks, after the sound “barbar”, which was basically the Greek version of “ching chong” for making fun of foreign languages. You shouldn’t be throwing slurs like that around so casually.

        I’ve seen the slur used to justify racism across two thousand years of history. I’ve never seen it used by one who spoke as though with the compassion of Jesus Christ in their heart.

            I hope that young lady has accepted Jesus into her heart, but I fear it may be unlikely, as she’s waving the flag of a state that’s actively collaborating with the genocide of the Palestinian people

          I’ve seen the slur used to justify racism across two thousand years of history. I’ve never seen it used by one who spoke as though with the compassion of Jesus Christ in their heart.

          I could say the same about the pathetic fucking religion of most modern Christians. The same one that you can’t even fucking understand, nor would you care to since you apparently rate things on the “Jesus-O-Meter” in the hearts of people. Two thousand years of history and the legacy of the Catholic church and the legacy of Jesus Christ is the piles of bodies at Canadian residential schools, likely close to millions of children sexually abused (I would know since the church I worked at got shut down over it, no, I’m not a priest) and a regressive, backwards institution dedicated to upholding reactionary and exploitative practices globally.

          “uhhh nooo I’m actually a protestant-baptist-calvinist-quaker-latter-day”

          You know what Matthews said, get back in your fucking closet.

            The “Christianity” of the Romans is truly a plague as you say. It is the most blatant heresy in history. To associate Jesus with Christianity is even fouler a lie than the myth taught to children today that Karl Marx was an authoritarian.

          You know that 420 is Hitlers birthday and a Nazi dogwhistle right? If that sounds loke a stretch to you you have no right to complain about an even older and less relevant offensive term

            Don’t call anyone pro-roman slurs. Rome is doing enough damage to the world. They were responsible for the Holocaust in the 1930s and they’re doing it again with their new orange emperor.

                The German Nazis considered themselves to be Romans and all others to be “b*rbarians”. That’s what Third Reich means. The first Reich was the Holy Roman Empire. They considered themselves the inheritors of Rome. Roman ideology is fascist ideology.

                  ahh I see where you are coming from. Then this quote by Engels, which Rosa Luxembourg might have been paraphrasing, would likely be more to your liking “… either a revolutionary constitution of society at large or the common ruin of the contending classes”

                    I prefer the words of our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ,

                    Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of Elohim.”

                    We must drive the rich to Elohim’s judgement by the hand of a righteous crusade. And also, stop denigrating b*rbarians.

              weird how Rome and most of the adherents of your religion can band around doing damage to the world despite the “differences!1!!” your book has in interpretations.

                  Can you imagine how you sound to people with profound religious trauma? Do you ever think of these things? Like I appreciate the militancy but the religious dogmatism is genuinely concerning as I’ve seen EXACTLY what that has done multiple times not only in history books but in real-life.

                  Your belief in Jesus Christ isn’t what is the problem. It’s your religious militancy and the rhetoric I’ve seen repeated.
