And I use “normal” in scare quotes, because, according to whom, exactly, capitalism? Society? Yourself? Some of the “weirdest” people I’ve met in my life where also some of the nicest and actually helped me out. People you’d peg as “normal”? Well I’ve had my fair share of shit with them. I’m not about to put up with some reddit lord trying to score points with cool kid podcasters by throwing people who feed the homeless under the bus, fuck you very much.
Yes, I fully agree with everything you said in your comment. I specifically addressed the difference between rituals and culture because of this, my point isn’t “let’s be cringe Reddit atheists and dunk on all religion all the time”, it’s simply that metaphysical claims should be systematically discarded as much as revolutionary practice allows.
