CXORA

Not using the nonsense machine doesn't mean we have to abandon the whole rest of the toolbox.

Jumping on the new shiny thing and relying on it over all the other tried and tested tools is the core re-occuring mistake in development.

As long as you don't pretend the bible didn't permit slavery were all good.

This is a nit pick. The violence permits the selling and owning of people as property. Whatever you want to call it, that is immoral.

Fuck all the way off with that condescending phrase.

So you agree there are things that should be silenced.

Isn't silencing calls to violence also a slippery slope?

I fail to see how this responds to my comment.

The issue is fascists are going to lie regardless. There is nothing we can say, no way we can act that will prevent that. It is pointless to try.

*not all

Not all representative democracies have a single elected individual with supreme power. The US isn't meant to either.

I find it really creepy when someone professes something they don't believe is true. It's dishonest, and ultimately props up all the negative religious people.

All christians support the bad ones, by giving it legitimacy.

This "who cares if it's actually true or not" perspective is completely at odds with the religion itself, and does not deal honestly with it.

I'm not sure why you're conflating "don't hoard things you don't need" with consumerism.

There's certainly ways to do that irresponsibly, but it's not part of the philosophy.
