To people with privilege, a taste of equality tastes like oppression.
Muslims are one of our many groups of second class citizens in the US.
Christians have and continue to enjoy social privilege here. Many equate it with morality, barf.
I was raised Roman Catholic, and I'm well aware that privilege is extended to the Religious Jewish community because our Christian imaginary sky dictator needs the follower's of the Jewish imaginary sky dictator to stand in a specific spot, presumably not while standing on one foot while rubbing their stomachs, so the Christian Imaginary dictator can end the world... but you know, in a good way or something.
And yeah, that social privilege is NOT extended in any way to the people that worship the Mulsim imaginary sky dictator.
I don't care what pokemon you worship, but it needs to stop being taken seriously by the actual world outside of your own worship. The minute you're willing to oppress, imprison, attack, or otherwise murder others for the sake of your favorite pokemon, and I really don't care which pokemon, Buddha, Thanos, Yahweh, Raichu, Allah, Magicarp, Vishnu, Jehovah, whatever... just fuck you.
On a side note, that imaginary sky dictator, gaslighting 'us' into believing that the end of the world is a good thing, really reads capitalism vibes. I only relatively recently realised how deeply capitalism needed to imbed itself to really take off. It needs oppression, it needs war, it needs homelessness and joblessness, it needs racism, it needs misogyny, and so many of those systems are built using a bible (that is against most of that) to enforce it.
That's a lot of words to not know she said something wrong. Go on, cover up hers and yours. You're both wrong.
Lol
I don't understand what's so funny. You're the one that just used Pokémon to try and explain religion. What's funny to me is all these people with no skin in the game with all these bad takes. I thought we didn't need to hear people 'splain things...
You're right, I was wholly unfair.
Few to none have killed or been killed in the name of Pokémon's lore, it wasn't fair to lump it in with the absolutely blood soaked Abrahamic lores.
And being a human watching humans being killed every day, using superstitious nonsense as validation is my skin in the game. I think humans being killed day after day is more important than defending one's or attacking in the name of one's favorite superstitious nonsense. Why don't you?
Also I laughed because your response to my response on a text based communication platform was basically You used too many words, therefore you don't have a point. You might as well have said my point was invalid because simon didn't say.
