They're talking about killing leftist activists. They're talking about murdering people organizing in defense of immigrant communities, doing mutual aid work, and protesting their violence. They are talking about murdering people like me and my friends. We must do more than acknowledge it's fascism.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

The first three seasons get a lot of flack, but there are so many great episodes in them. Lots of direct Ursula K LeGuin references as well

go the fuck outside. find a goth club. go there on a kink / queer night. go even if you think “you won’t fit in” (cheat code: just wear black).

be friendly. give yourself time. repeat as necessary. you will make exceptional friends.

life is for the living. do it scared.

Are they trying to bait a coup attempt?

What do you mean "this isn't ideology"?

I literally just can't comprehend what you mean by that phrase

It's very telling that people like this aren't outraged at Kamala for not at least trying to lie about what her administration would do regarding the genocide

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

I have a hard time believing people with belligerent & disingenuous opinions like that are actually real. Or if they are real, I can't imagine them not being paid

We are seeing dozens of these videos every day. It's happening all over the ocuntry. I know many people are outraged but it's just continuing unabated.

This feeling of impotence is devastating. How does it end? With the country emptied of brown people and dissidents in jail?

Also, fwiw, thank you for providing context. I couldn't find it on the original poster's profile and no one else was willing to be that candid

Ok well that kind of behavior is incredibly juvenile and anti-social

Anything that appears to carry water for institutionalized religion in America raises my eyebrows. Clearly that's not what this was

ttypes @ttypes.bsky.social · 9h

Like, is there a difference between criticizing evil institutions and saying "please think like meeee"?

I suppose all of these things *could have* been done by institutions that weren't religious, but they happened as they did

It is the most significant such discovery to date, a First Nation group in Saskatchewan says.

Is talking about the Catholic Church's long history of systemic child r*pe "proselytizing"?

I guess you can label it proselytizing if you want because it fits a box that makes thinking about all of this more comfortable?

Criticizing organized religion for the very real blood it has on its hands

Do I have to bring up Evangelical Christianity's role in bringing fascism to power in the US? (mainly what I was referencing)

Organized religion has been one of the main methods of control and brainwashing for the entirety of the US's existence. The world would be a far better place if the Pilgrims had been put to death rather than exiled

Reddit atheists, atheist-tubers are annoying, but proselytizing is never something I've seen an atheist/agnostic do. And while living in a society who's fabric is being incinerated by Christianist supremacists, I raise my eyebrow anything seeming to carry water for them

How is organized religion not to blame for the majority of ills being perpetrated by fascism in America?
