They have a very strange relationship with this whole collective condemnation thing and whether it's good or bad.

Pretty funny to use collective condemnation in an argument against collective condemnation, you did it, you've finally made a funny post

There's a lot of bad ppl out there that just love getting away with doing whatever they want. Often they stop just shy of outright murder because that's the hardest to get away with. Yet we have been stolkhomed by these shitty corrupt ppl many in middle and upper management and politics they love power because that lets them get away with being trash. Trashy people do exist and enable other trashy ppl because they get to be as trashy as they want.

This is a side effect of centralized authority without accountability or checks and balances. A side effect of absolute authority. And a side effect of Americans surrendering their own authority for convenience and an illusory sense of security.

Cuz let's face it. A lot of you are terrified of killing. Don't know the first thing about it. And don't want to do the work of even feeding yourselves if it gets blood directly on your hands. And you enjoy all the comfort while outsourcing that job to the plethora of three and four letter agencies. God bless the DoD, FBI, CIA, FDA, DOT, DHS, USDA, DEA, ATF, BLM, DARPA, NSA, USA, NATO, LAPD, NYPD, TPD.

Etc.

God bless indeed.

Know them by their fruit, etc.

No we should call out those who corrupt. There is a flavor that will corrupt any system. That doesn't mean there are no good systems, it just means we need to be vigilant about those who seek power over others using these systems.

Christianity isn't about power over anyone else, it is about being a good person and helping your neighbor. Communism IS about exerting your will over others to act, it is about forcing people to act NOT in their best interest.

Oh look, it's the argument against anarcho-capitalism and its inherent stupidity about both concepts it claims to idealize

From the guy who said that entire ideologies shouldn't be criticized because of a handful of bad actors within that ideology, we get one who thinks Christianity shouldn't be condemned because of the bad actions of a handful of Christians but communism should be condemned because of the bad actions of a handful of communists

Very good, it takes a serious thinker to recognize a serious thinker. Great job, Homesteaded, what a slam dunk

Yeah, that's what you were doing. Being stupid on purpose. I was only pretending to be a fool. I'm just really good at it

Yes, I am able to make distinctions. The wrongs of Christianity are vastly outweighed by the good it has facilitated.

Your completely reductionist vision is bleak and you are likely a rudderless boat who believes nothing matters.

Explain to me the good that has come from Communism. I'll wait.

Have you ever thought maybe all this religious stuff has brainwashed you. You know self conditioned, yourself. No David Koresh but … you know a little out of hand… over the top… clouding your vision of reality.

I remember when I made this same thread when trump lost, quality meltdowns. I didn’t read the thread, pretty much the same? Nice.


P.s. if political affiliation is part of your core identity you are a sheep.
