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.

Yeah, maybe, but as someone who constantly has bad takes, I demand inclusion!

@colorblindcowboy @celesteh I have occasionally seen it used where people have an idea that is extremely mild, like so mild as to be akin, "let's move all the deck chairs over here to counter weight this 52000 ton sinking boat" and another person responds with, "my brother in Christ, 50 pound of chairs isn't going to cut it and they all slid off the deck while we were arguing about this." At least they're anti-sinking so they could still be brought over in time for the revolution/lifeboat?

@baconandcoconut @celesteh Agree. Tho I’m not helping you move any chairs, just to be clear.
