@sludgephilia The issue is that "indengenous beliefs" refers to whatever you want it to . Would you consider the John frum movement a progressive force ? And ofc I have to bring up the classic example of pedophile Buddhist warlords in tibet. Spiritualism is not materialist
@sludgephilia Indigenous ppl aren't feel good Forrest gnomes that you can invoke . We practiced some extremely genocidal and oppressive religions onto each other before colonization. Neither of these things justifes each other . You just want to worship magic
I remember being an officer in the Marxist-Periyarist club and talking with a guy that grew up in india , a guy that grew up in Morroco and a guy who grew up in Serbia. All we're atheists
@sprucethedeer Religion is whatever I say it is. Politics is religion, what Social media app you use is religion. All any way humans could influence each other is religion.
It is 100% legitimate to criticize Jewish identity and religion in relation to Zionism and the genocide in Gaza and don’t let any defensive pseudointellectual ethnonarcissists tell you otherwise
