potosiYou are in a cult.
A cult is defined as a small religion. There’s nothing wrong with being in a cult. Dionysus had a realy awesome cult 3000 years ago.
Cult: Small and obedient group, controlled by a leader and/or an idea ThEreS NoTHiNg wRoNg wiTh bEiNg iN a CulT - 🤓
That definition was invented by christians seeking to destroy small religions through stigma. It’s on the same tier as the witch hunters defining a witch as an evil sorceresss. Obviously made up and fake, obviously pushing a harmful agenda.
Cults are often led by sadistic and crazy people. Often, they are the witch hunters. They push unhealthy lifestyles and they often live isolated from civilization.

typically led by a charismatic and self-appointed leader, who excessively controls its members, requiring unwavering devotion to a set of beliefs and practices which are considered deviant (outside the norms of society)

A political cult is a cult with a primary interest in political action and ideology. Groups that some have described as “political cults”, mostly advocating far-left or far-right agendas
Since the 1940s, the Christian countercult movement has opposed some sects and new religious movements, labeling them “cults” because of their unorthodox beliefs. Since the 1970s, the secular anti-cult movement has opposed certain groups and, as a reaction to acts of violence, frequently charged those cults with practicing mind control. Scholars and the media have disputed some of the claims and actions of anti-cult movements, leading to further public controversy.
In the English-speaking world, the term cult often carries derogatory connotations.[14] In this sense, it has been considered a subjective term, used as an ad hominem attack against groups with differing doctrines or practices.[9][15] As such, religion scholar Megan Goodwin has defined the term cult, when it is used by the layperson, as often being shorthand for a “religion I don’t like”.[16]
It doesn’t say anything about a new definition. What you say doesn’t change the fact that many cults are harmful. Cultism should always be avoided. By the way, I am not christian, so what youre saying doesnt affect me.
Metal Zealot You got the same attitude as those guys who eventually get exposed for being a raging homo, caught in a big gay orgy…
Idgaf what consenting adults do. Also, what exactly about my short comment made you assume my whole ‘attitude’?

Didn’t necessarily have to be your short comment. It was probably all the other alt-right shit in your comment history and the fact that you moderate “MakeLemmyGreatAgain” ffs
Idgaf what consenting adults do.
Everyone you vote for does, so by proxy you do as well because you’re supporting those platforms. Don’t backpedal your stance because you don’t like the taste.
“IDGAF what consenting adults do, BUT IF THEY GAY/TRANS, THEN THEYRE WRONG, NO IFS ANDS OR BUTS”
I meant every word of it. You are manipulating what I said. I have gay friends myself and I get along with anyone independent of their beliefs, something you seem incapable of doing.
ExcrubulentI get along with anyone independent of their beliefs
Remind me how you started this comment chain? Something about how you respect and wish to befriend people despite disagreeing?
They can simply disagree but what they’re doing is calling me a fascist
gowanDo you have gay friends or do you know gay people that you consider friends? Im asking this because as a bi guy I find more than a few conservatives think Im their friend when I wish they were better people and do not at all see them as friends. Friends do not support parties whose stated goals are to make their friends be less equal under the law which the GOP has explicitly stated.
Obviously I don’t know you or them but I wouldn’t be surprised to find they don’t consider you a friend
I understand what youre saying but I do not support the GOP and I am not conservative. I usually never talk politics with my friends anyways. I think they do consider me as friends.
I deleted my comment when I realized you weren’t American.
As a side note the “Don’t teach kids sexuality” is always about denying that gay people exist. There is zero nuance to that when you see the policies as they are written for the US states that adopt this.
When they are old enough (~16) its okay to talk about those things but I don’t like the way people say anybody can be gay because that just leads to kids thinking they are gay when they have little to no knowdelge of sex or relationships. We should accept and welcome gay people but we shouldn’t push it into people, it should come out naturally.
Im bi. My first crush was Richard Chamberlain. I can explain why as a boy I needed to watch Shogun on TV but it was a bit odd that I also really needed to watch The Thornbirds which is about an Anglican Priest who ends up in an affair with a woman in his church. I was 8.
No one is becoming gay because it was suggested to them. I get how you might be foolhardy enough as a straight person to think this is the case, but I can tell you every single gay person that hears you say this knows how dumb it is. Your exact statement is why I said it is always about denying gay people exist.
Your notion here is intensely homophobic and I really hope you recognize that, change your views and grow as a result.
Lol the sub name is a joke, I do not support Trump. And I have never voted Republican, because I am not even American. I do not support nationalism or anything else that you are assuming.
Again, your comment history is visible. Your account is only seven days old and you’ve already laid out clear political leanings with your comments. You may not be an official Republican because you can’t vote for them as a non-American but you certainly agree with all their stances which is enough for me to know you’re kind of a piece of shit. Good luck with that.
I do not agree with many of their stances, however I am more concerned by the way you think expressing dissent in a non-agressive way makes me a piece of shit: thats kind of the thing a brainwashed fascist would say. Good luck in the outside world buddy: not everyone with different political views has to be a pos.
violetravenWhich ones do you agree with?
I think parents have a right to decide what their own children are taught in schools. Fossil fuels make the world a better place. Don’t think there are many others: both parties suck.
