Après moi, le déluge? Non, non, non. Nous plantons des arbres dont nous ne connaîtrons jamais l'ombre, et nous les abreuvons de notre sang. Sur moi, le déluge. Après moi, la liberté.
@cruelmanbutfair@FOA6267 The other dimension is that the religious views that a colonized nation attaches itself to is still wholly oppressive of groups within that colonized nation (women, gays etc.)
@ModerateCommie Black churches are SOCIAL ORGANIZATIONS with SOCIAL RELATIONS that MATERIALLY IMPACT THE WORLD & therefore the critique of THEIR SPECIFIC SOCIAL FORM AND IT'S CONSEQUENCES is MATERIAL.
Women DO perpetuate homophobia esp with regards to who they date and what makes them a "man".
@a_samir48@FOA6267 Soviet policy never assigned the veil to anyone as a "longstanding and historical" trait and the paranji was specifically singled out as a feudal trait to be abolished.
@Sinister_Sophia@natemaklocklin@tristanbard0516 More accurately that obviously religiosity in Russia has been severely diminished thanks to the Russian Revolution. These people literally lived in a theocratic state before the Bolsheviks

@ModerateCommie OK, even if there were some correlation between how affluent a certain parish is and how willing they are to fly rainbow flags, which, again, is a totally unsubstantiated assertion, it still does not prove that poverty is what is causing homophobia in churches.
@ModerateCommie Alright, I'll just repeat myself, since you just made another completely fake and totally unsubstantiated cope assertion that is not remotely relevant to my point even if it were true. I don't think poverty is motivating preachers to push same-sex marriage bans.
@alternativegold Well it's precisely the contradiction between Jew and Jew that I'm highlighting with 'the Non-Jewish Jew'; a guy like Trotsky who is obviously "non-Jewish" in ideology but is still identified as Jewish by pretty much everyone on ethnic grounds despite his refusal of the identity
@ModerateCommie The average irreligious person "of similar socioeconomic background" does not have a powerful pulpit that comes with political power with which to push same-sex marriage bans in law & preach homophobia; the average black preacher does
@ModerateCommie "Homophobia in rap music has the same impact as black preachers pushing same-sex marriage bans and preaching homophobia from a pulpit for a dogma that guides people's lives and black Christians telling their gay kids they're going to Hell"
@ModerateCommie Nothing you said in those three tweets even came close to refuting either of my points. Nothing you said refutes that the Southern Baptist Church was crucial in upholding slavery. Nothing you said refutes that homophobia is in the scripture & pushed by pastors in Black churches.
Evangelical exceptionalist DSA be like "please be respectful of the biblical tradition of portending the end of days with the hostile nations of Gog and Magog"
