There isn’t a whole lot of press coverage of the resistance unless a white person dies. It is happening though.
A lot of the people who aren’t resisting are spending all of their energy just to keep food on their table and a roof over their head, scared shitless of a regime that delights in random violence. Make your own judgement on how good those reasons are, but that isn’t the same thing as being ok with what’s happening.
Please, don’t generalize. Christians are giant group of people with many kinds. Gross generalization like this isn’t solving the problem. I know many, many Christians who are very much against the character of Trump.
MAGA has come out of American Christianity. Christians OWN THIS. They are the core, perhaps the only, demographic
Christianity is immoral, unethical, and utterly false. It gives rise to this sort of thing because it is an abjectly evil system. It requires the acceptance and worship of an utterly depraved and inhuman monster. It is a system used to pervert people’s minds into thinking evil acts are good. It is a tool of oppression and has single-handedly done more to prevent Human social progress than any other system ever invented.
Fuck Christianity. It’s an evil death cult that worships the most wicked character in all of literature. It deserves to be left in the dustbin of history, and it’s adherents deserve to be utterly shunned by society at large.
You can say the same about any religion. Christianity spans much more than “American Christianity”. Lemmy is a place for people of the whole world is it not? You can’t refer to Christianity as a whole when talking about a very specific brand of it.
I would have thought Lemmy would not discriminate based on nationality, race, creed or religion, but I see such hate towards religion in general (here) that, honestly, you are not being respectful to others’ beliefs. Is this what we want Lemmy to be?
Yes, you certainly can say this about any religion, something to think on. Right now it’s Christianity’s time to shine though since it is at the center of American fascism and is manufacturing complicity for one of the most serious child trafficking rings in American history.
You can’t refer to Christianity as a whole when talking about a very specific brand of it.
Fuck off, yes I can.
And I was explicitly and specifically referring to American Christianity. That’s why I used that term.
Also, what TF are you talking about Lemmy discriminating? Lemmy isn’t hiring anybody, or denying Christians services, or anything like that.
I’m allowed to point out how evil and manipulative Christianity is and has been since it’s inception. I do not respect Christians or Christianity because they are not worthy of respect. Maybe you should lose the persecution complex and sit down and have an actual think about what your backward beliefs are actually based on and actually do in this world - the real one, not your fantasy invisible worlds
Watching from the outside. Americans seem pretty chill with that.

In particular, it’s the devout Christians who seem to be breathing easiest with it.

I’m done tiptoeing around.
Trump and the GOP generally are a Christian nationalist project. MAGA’s core support base is white Christians.
Yes I know some Quakers and episcopalians too. They’re a tiny tiny minority.
If the majority of white Christians stopped supporting maga, it would be over tomorrow.
Nope.

It’s for the same reason so many American’s are ok with Billionaires. They don’t want Billionaires taxed because they might some day be one.
And they don’t want Pedophiles brought to justice, because if they get the chance, many of them would be one.
I’m looking at you, Christianity
