Christian forgiveness is just holy enablement.
Leaders of a Minnesota church community didn’t report a parishioner they knew had sexually abused girls for year.
They told his victims that once sins were “washed away in the blood of reconciliation,” they could never speak of them again.
Truly chilling, from @jlussenhop.bsky.social & Andy Mannix

when you understand that patriarchy views children as sexual property it all makes sense. there's no hypocrisy. exposure to queerness & transness threatens to "corrupt" the father's property, to "lead them astray" into self-determination, to taint their future sexual value. CSA is permissible as >
Thatcher's government did this with Section 28, banned the "promotion of homosexuality" as a danger to children, while actively protecting Jimmy Savile and who knows how many other pedophiles. It's the same damn playbook.
I cannot begin to properly articulate how upsetting it is to have had people baselessly accuse trans people of being groomers and pedophiles only for it to come out that they were deliberately doing this as part of a project to provide cover to actual groomers and pedophiles in positions of power

Religion teaches children that authority figures can make unprovable claims that they have to believe unless they want to get in trouble.
It rewards obedience and conformity, and discourages critical thinking.

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life.
The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

Antivax and anti-public health were in the ballot in 2024. They’re not springing this on the public by surprise, they campaigned on it—along with anti-science, and at the highest level anti-truth—then a plurality elected them.
Some explicitly voted for it. Others didn’t care. But this was a choice.

James Dobson can no longer do evil on earth, but we still live with his zombie: his network of "family policy council" lobbying groups
Most state laws against abortion, gay marriage, or trans healthcare have their roots in Dobson's network. Its power is vast, yet it is little-known 🧵

It’s blindingly clear at this point that the protestors in Los Angeles are in fact helping to prevent a fascist takeover, and the pundits who suggested that protest is counterproductive were being either stupid or actively malicious.

They describe their perceived problems and it genuinely feels like they're saying shit like "Lobsters are taking over the Vatican, and that's why we need to bomb the coast of Maine!" And millions of people are reading this, believing absolute nonsense.

A lot of people think men with violent beliefs need empathy and connection to be led away from them.
But it’s honestly the opposite. If they can hold those beliefs AND people start treating them better than before, they have no incentive to change. It’s seen as proof that misogyny works.

A lot of Europeans don't know what a food desert is, though.
europe has many wonderful foodways (i love greece and greek cuisine!) but “european food is uniformly better than american food” is a crock of shit and only holds if your knowledge of american food and foodways is what you’ve seen on TV

That’s why more Jesus in schools is a terrible idea. Parents should have the right to refuse their children to be groomed for these people.

I want to give credit to my editors, who asked me to write 2,000 words on why Andrew Tate wears such tight pants. I submitted 3,700. They asked if I really needed to start with a story about the industrial revolution and I said "yes, absolutely don't cut."

His editor hates him. He reads the column and thinks “this one will finally end his career,” and hits publish.
But then, the next morning, he comes in and passes AG Sulzberger who says “man, Tom’s latest column was great, wasn’t it!?” And the editor goes back to his desk and cries.

Matt Yglesias often has very bad takes, but not every take is bad. In fact, some are good. He probably bats somewhere around 500 in the takes department? I don't know. Anyway, you'd think he's Richard Hanania the way people talk about him.
