Proposal to replace "my brother in Christ" with "my comrade in the coming revolution".

Pros:
* Assumes the best in people
* Gender neutral
* Does not enshrine Christian hegemony
* Counterrevolutionaries, liberals, and status quo defenders can have a little minor irritation as a treat

Cons:
None

@celesteh Not to be contrarian, but isn’t “My brother in Christ” usually used incredulously? Like when someone has a ridiculous take that would make them unsuitable for comradeship?

Open to counterpoints from folks who speak internet better than I do.

@colorblindcowboy @celesteh at the same time that usage feels like it's sort reeling them in despite having wandered so far astray. you're out there in the ideological wilds, but member of ultimately the same group as us, [observation which should make you falter in your march off further into that].

@LionsPhil @celesteh Maybe it’s not so much replacement but a continuum?
