I'm always studying christians & christianity in my bug jar & every day it gets a little worse

[tlirsgender]

Picking apart trad/fundie/whatever ideology is lowkey fun for me though. My horrifying little rubik's cube. Like understanding what the fuck is happening in there is useful for meaningfully countering it & understanding the rhyme and reason behind scary christian political interests, yknow? I live in the united states these people are, like, my neighbors

[tlirsgender]

Sniles so sneetly. And really the common aversion to studying the ideologies you're opposed to is coming from the christian idea that knowledge of evil is itself somehow contaminating. Which in turn has its roots in/motivated by discouraging critical thinking for fear of disobedience. This is why science is blasphemy. Isn't this fun? I can do this all day

Men will be like "women are so fragile" and then break over literally nothing. Not the slightest thing at all. Exactly zero (0) things

If someone attacks someone else (verbally in this context) and the someone else defends themselves, then outsiders call for them to both stop fighting, that's not being fair and bringing peace, that's joining the fight on the side of the attacker. The number of people that don't understand this pisses me the fuck off

[comradezoey]

Like you are prioritizing your own comfort over what's right and over the victim

“Because the truth is, tech doesn’t have an image problem. It doesn’t have a message problem. It has an intention problem. What’s wrong with the axe murderer who broke into my house is not that he hasn’t successfully persuaded me to buy into his narrative. What’s wrong is that he’s trying to kill me with an axe. Similarly, when you launch a product that’s designed to put millions of people out of work, block access to sources of verifiable truth, replace human creativity with slop, and lower the barriers to every sort of atrocity, the problem isn’t that you haven’t told the public a good story about those things. The problem is that you are trying to do them.”

‘Nuclear Family Month’ is so funny as a concept. I have never seen a nuclear family worth celebrating.

[byjove]

The problem with the concept of the ‘nuclear family’ and further, the glorification of it by the American right and their feeble attempt at launching Nuclear Family Month, is that it is a concept built on the Christian patriarchal family structure. A man should be the leader of the house, parents should have ownership over their children, children having more than two parental figures or aunts, uncles and grandparents living in the home challenges this. It’s not that a straight couple and their children can’t form a healthy family structure, it is that the glorification of the ‘nuclear family’ as the gold standard of family situations pushes individualism, stigmatizes divorce and multigenerational households and continues to push the 1950s-esque ‘Children need a mommy and a daddy, no matter how fucking evil the mommy or daddy is.’ bullshit. There are so many children that did not grow up in ‘broken’ homes and suffered for it. Stop staying together for the kids. The support and involvement of the extended family in childrearing isn’t inherently trashy or lazy. Families come in so many different shapes and sizes and prioritizing and romanticizing the nuclear family continues to harm everyone.
