What does it say of people, when their kids pursue such different paths and beliefs and generally come to the conclusions that their parents are pieces of shit? queen-ohoho

Turns out, a genocidal, racist, bigoted and hyper-exploitative settler-society (Isntreal and AmeriKKKa and much of the west, really) tends to have that experience. Who woulda thought...

rambles of shit family but in a vindicated mannerHonestly I know my sis and I feel a lot of vindication in that, of all 6 kids, literally none of us now in adulthood (the youngest is 18) has much if any respect for either parent, and can recognize they were cartoonishly terrible people and- while they have both I suppose improved- neither remains anywhere remotely near a role model (at most I have respect for my mom for bringing herself back to some semblance of normalcy and being a decent person, from rock bottom- I appreciate her). We were all raised thinking that one of the parents was practically saintly in particular, but turns out that nope- he's an absolute POS, and even more of one than initially thought, even (if nothing else he hopefully knows to not be an ass to the siblings still living with him, sounds like he does). Not "the worst person" imaginable maybe, but an utter shithead and in many ways lower than dirt; I have sympathy for how he turned out this way and wish otherwise, but a narcissistic monster.

Jimmy's motivations are different probably, the man almost certainly knows he's going to hell if it exists (in the way his beliefs would see it as existing). He's clinging on for dear life lol

Pretty much. This is what E*rope did to the religion following the legacy of the dude who broke bread with sex workers, outsiders, and tax collectors, who flaunted religious convention like "not working" on the Sabbath, who chilled with lepers, and who whipped money-changers and mocked religious hypocrites (pharisees).

Agnostic ex-Cath myself but even just based on what sources we have on the historical figure he wouldn't approve (of the majority of what has been done with his legacy)

Pretty much, honestly all Anglo teachers are the same

NOOO oooaaaaaaauhhh

Not burger and never seen it but I'll miss it, RIP to an OG (my only impressions are from the absolutely glorious name)

In hindsight, I don't know how to crosspost on the Fediverse and that's probably pretty obvious

Based, fingers crossed we can live to see even the first gasps of that world emerge lenin-heart

I'm despairing all right agony-4horsemen YanKKKee politics really has a particular brand of cringe (not that I've any ground to stand on, my country basically imitates/follows yours right down to the Trumpf/Klanmala supporters, if perhaps on a lesser level)

Fingers crossed, it's not Drumpf's time to die yet.

Let him win, and let him get up on stage and start talking about avoiding WW3 and the need to impose 100%+ tariffs on all countries that move away from the dollar, and then let him get JFKed on live tv inshallah

It's a term used as much by genuine progressives as it is by reactionaries IMO (for instance in critiques of white feminism, imperialist feminism and western pinkwashing, etc). There is a genuine larger world of feminists (and other progressives) out there who have serious bones to pick with the western portrayal of itself as the end-goal and arbiter of progress..

There's Islamic feminism, indigenous feminism, black feminism, communist feminism, etc. Even western feminism (and "feminism") has its serious divisions and many outright wreckers/appropriaters tbh.

Honestly if any of the claims of the historical figure and his divinity are to be believed, it's probably not so far from the truth. If he whipped the money changers and merchants in the temple, what would he do for those who have made a mockery of everything he allegedly stood for and desecrated (genocided) most of an entire continent?
