It’s understandable as the religious people also migrate away from Reddit. The fediverse cuts down their stupid “equal time for dissent” argument. The fediverse explicitly enables them to fuck off and start their own instance where they can put up their own rules and federate with whoever they want.
I’m with world on this one. Punch the damn nazis in their faces. No false arguments about tolerance here.
This is such a fucking wild take - I doubt you’d actually say that to a religious person’s face, let alone punch it.
It is absolutely outrageous to call religious people nazis.
Right? They're way more likely to be neo-confederates or KKK members than they are to be Nazis.
Not all Nationalist Christians are Nazis... but almost all Nazis are NatCs.
Evangelical Christians and Nazis share most of their positions.
I do know some hardcore Orthodox Christians, and they are some of the kindest people I know. Far from being nazis
Nice Nazis are still Nazis. You may not be their target group yet, but it will come.
The two are different. My mother and the mother of my childhood best friend are some of the kindest people I've ever known. In the past 5 years I've discovered they support putting people in cages, selective human rights, and general Q adjacent beliefs that came from nowhere that I could see. They both are religious, not hardcore orthodox by any means, but both are indoctrinated weekly and it has changed them fundamentally. They're still extremely kind and generous but don't mistake that they would absolutely agree with a religious based government and whatever killings it deems necessary.
A decade ago I would have bet a million dollars I'd never hear those things from either of them. You're right, they aren't nazis. They're Christofascists.
Well, all nazis consider themselves Christian
This is not true:
