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.

    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.

    Some people still think evangelicals are christians apparently.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

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

    Do you have any idea how bad caring for people and the planet is for the economy? China will destroy us if we don't focus on profits!!

    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.
