    It really is alarming how quickly some have shifted to the hard right. Even previous lefty friends have drifted. Sometimes I feel like I’m going insane.

    If you really want to piss people off, try adding “…and animals” to the list of things you care about.

    I’m selfish. I want people educated, housed, and cared for so they don’t rob me.

    I don’t want to dump sewage in the river, so I can drink the water when I visit down stream.

      I want people housed, educated, and queer so they populate niche game lobbies.

        I’d like to help everyone homeless in my city so the LRT train stations aren’t drug dens smelling of body fluids and excrement. I’d like to walk the river valley in the spring without finding thawing corpses.

      If being educated and housed and cared for was enough to not rob me, my employer wouldn’t be trying to steal money from my damn paycheck every month

    The modern conservative is engaged in one of man’s oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

      Seems to me we’re past that. The problem with the “fuck you, I’ve got mine” principle was the “I’ve got mine” bit, which requires holding something back from the ultra wealthy. If you can distill it down to a simple “fuck you”, you’ve got yourself a much more low-maintenance philosophy. By turning human suffering into a desired commodity, you can appease your voter base without giving them anything of value.

      These leftists are so anti-Christian for wanting to… checks notes… “love your neighbor as yourself.” Never heard such anti-Jesus teachings in my life.

            There’s the problem that “Evangelical” is too broad a category, there are churches that historically are considered Evangelical, but don’t share in that anti-christian insanity.

              what has millennia of the “no true christian!!!” arguing accomplished?

              I mean, not much, but rejecting the teachings of Jesus is still literally heresy. If we are to have a useful definition of the word “Christian,” it kinda has to include believing in the word of Christ.

              If someone tells everyone he knows he is a man, he is a man even if he doesn’t seem like a man sometimes. Same with Christians. It is really annoying when they don’t seem to follow many Christian teachings but they are still Christian. IMO anyway.

              No, seriously, there’s been a shift in the way the people use the word evangelical. I’ll have to dig it up, but I saw a street interview recently where a reporter person is interrogating a man identifying as an evangelical who when prodded on the teachings of Jesus responded with “I don’t believe in all that Jesus stuff, I’m an atheist”. Apparently a lot of people are identifying as evangelicals as a political identity, not as a religious identity. Evangelicals literally are no longer Christians anymore.

    Stfu you socialist pig. I’m a conservative, I believe in the teaching of Jesus and it says somewhere “Thou shall own liberals”
