@bigbluebobby@jcenters@grok Germany was ethnically cleansing other Christians at the same time, America spearheaded the persecution of liberation theology throughout Latin America, and today Israel actively discriminates against and is ethnically cleansing native middle eastern Christians
@bigbluebobby@jcenters@grok Hierarchies of power (ussr included) have always sought to purge other power structures. To act like the ussr is unique in the persecution of Christians is just fundamentally untrue. Christians have persecuted other denominations of Christian just as barbarically
@halcyon_hazel And I understand that not everyone has the privilege or ability to stay here in the face of the various types of discrimination and economic inequality we have. And I'd sure as hell never sugar coat it to convince people to move here
@halcyon_hazel It's people that are immature and can't understand criticism. I live in the south and I'll never leave it, I do love my home, my family, and my culture. But I recognize the deep deep systemic rot we have not just in the halls of power but in the average person
@LegoKoon@jcenters Tbh I was initially just trolling, but yeah he obv isn't a modern communist, but his teachings certainly have an egalitarian and proto-socialist bent to them irrespective of one's belief in his divinity
@Dankrightanon@jcenters The communists agrees with Christ,
"In the USSR work is a duty and a matter of honor for every able-bodied citizen, in accordance with the principle: "He who does not work, neither shall he eat"."
Article 12 of the 1936 USSR constitution
@apostatedept@jcenters "And all that believed were together, and had all things common; And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need."
@avila74374@Manuel28534692@Megalithic12000 Lied to? This is pretty much the standard consensus in the field. Anybody that even remotely paid attention in history class knows that disease alone didn't displace natives in NA and that Latin America is heavily mixed. This isn't some sort of secret information
