    not remotely. Both, my mastodon & my IG feed were filled with that asshats mugshot. Like… LITERALLY filled. I ended up just logging off for the night last night.

    Here I subscribe to a lot of non-political & non-meme communities, so it wasn’t nearly as aggressive.











  • ^ this person gets it.

    People are so weird about this. Yes, G’s often sound like J’s English is weird. The inventor gets to have the say, he called it “jif”, great, it’s “jif”. To say it hard g “gif” and act like all G’s sound the same is just announcing one’s own ignorance. Weird take. Welcome to English!

    English is filled with weird duplicative shit. Ex: Why do we even have C’s anyway if we could use an S or a K? “Accident” one C is “kuh” and one C is “Suh”. WTF English?








  • why do you keep saying “at gun point”. It’s everyone paying their taxes then the that money being used to help the poor and needy.

    people don’t give to charity volunteerly enough, wealth inequality has only made the rich richer while 40% of Americans are either poor or on the verge of poor. - remember, even the church demanded tithing (aka taxes).

    why aren’t christians demanding more social services, more support, less wealth inequality?

    there’s not “gun points”, well except for the gun-loving christians who you better not touch their giant fucking truck.


  • Not sure if you are being serious. There are levels of socialism and social safety networks that still allow democracy and even capitalism. It’s regulated heavily, wealth is limited, and resources are shared to those who need it.

    Bible Jesus fought systemic poverty & the shunned in society, made it very clear how he felt about the rich & powerful.

    It’s mind-boggling to consider neoliberal christianity. It literally goes against everything your god/god’s son fought for… I don’t understand how christians aren’t leading the fight against wealth inequality, systemic poverty, and improved social systems.

    “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of heaven! Indeed, 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 heaven.”

    “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’”

    Jesus was a socialist.
