10000-com we were trying to set up a soup kitchen, and asked to use their basement and they kicked us out once they learned that we were "political". I guess that's more important than feeding people huh?

Fuuuuuuuuck me. Every single accusation made about communist countries is an admission of guilt by the accuser and everyone would realize this if they just talked to vulnerable people. I don’t have words to describe it

A local church nearby spent a shit ton of money on a luxury gym. And they will be all for helping the poor if you come to Bible study or some shit, so essentially they’re gatekeeping assistance

Learning some good things about the Catholic Church in this thread though 🙏🙏

Oh and the same church (Catholics) built a fence because people using a safe consumption site nearby, the homeless, etc "made parishioners feel unsafe" and then they fought the city when they told them to take it down.

The church won, so it's still up

I read the article where they interviewed parishioners about it, and one of them said something like "the fence will prevent the homeless from dirtying the lawn" among other things. Just makes my blood boil
