@wdlindsy Wars and terror campaigns have to be paid for to steal others resources. So what better way to collect, then to create cults so the people have to pay for them? Oligarchs want the papacy to keep their rotten Empire from falling. Tropes are good heuristics for gaslighting divide and conquer. #Pope #Mabe ?#ReligiousExtremists #MADMAGA #WarAndTerrorOnWoke
> .> Chomsky: I think it changed with Carter. Not consciously or purposely, but Carter was the first president who made a big point of his being a born-again Christian. He kind of advertised it and I think party managers recognized this is a way to obtain votes of a significant section of the population. In the 1980 election campaign, all three candidates--Carter, Reagan, and Anderson--had to present themselves as #ReligiousExtremists.

An important series, shedding light on the way wealthy radical “conservatives” wield the ridiculous idea of #Originalism in the quest to tie America to the era when #SlaveOwning white men had all the rights and controlled everything. It serves the goals of #ReligiousExtremists and sinister #Oligarchs who want to regress to a time where only rich men had power.

America is being led astray by a small handful of folks who are drunk-driving on a small, stupid, perpetually changing theory of legal interpretation.

After the fall of Roe v. Wade, some travel hundreds of miles to get an abortion. This is the story of a girl who couldn't.

Missouri attorney general opposes proposed federal rule aimed at protecting LGBTQ+ foster kids

Attorney General Andrew Bailey claims the proposal amounts to religious discrimination. But Missouri’s child welfare agency already offers guidance to foster care providers to use a child’s "preferred name and pronouns" and provide "physically and emotionally safe and supportive care and resources regardless of one’s personal attitudes and beliefs."

Got up rather late and a certain family member I won't name was hogging the stove, so I went out for #breakfast/ #brunch at #McDonalds.

As soon as I sat down to eat, the two #OldWhiteMen sitting next to me started going off about #Muslims and "#Religiousextremists."

I'm a middle aged #white #catholic myself, but most of the staff were #EastIndian. I feel bad for them.

“narratives of Jewish and Israeli exceptionalism have proliferated, as conservatives frame Hamas’s October 7 massacre as a blow, more fundamentally, to the West. These narratives go to show, rather paradoxically, the extent to which Jews remain an alien “other” in the minds of those working so assiduously to retro-fit them into their story of “Judeo-Christian” civilization.”
