This is my third time to the office. Im waiting for the Doctor to come in and whie waiting in the examination room, I spot this. I start flipping through it, and I am getting upset.
I wait for the doctor to come in. I immeditely ask him, hey what it this? why is it here? He blew me off and just said "oh its just an opinion piece" and I said, yeah, but who put it here, do you believe in this? And he just shrugged. I said, Im leaving, that is so wierd, thats weird to have in a doctors office. And I left. Ill never go back to that place.
I need a doctor who believes in science. You wanna be christain thats fine, but this literally says,for christain nationalism. gross.
Putnam CT, USA if anyone is curious. I want to post the photo in google maps reviews, but I am afraid to, even with my google account being a burner. Yes, it's the red pocket of an overall blue state, but, I just, was not expecting to see this.
If it wasn't religion, they'd exploit something else.
You still think the people in charge of these movements actually give a fuck about the movement.
They're just looking for a way to manipulate people. Religion might be the most common right now, but there's other options that work just as well.
Do you not know what racism is?
The justification doesn't matter because it's always bullshit. Getting rid of the justification doesn't solve the problem, it just replaced it with a different justification.
What you're advocating for is perpetual whack a mole that doesn't solve anything.
It's gonna be harder to exploit something that is not based on "trust me bro". Exploit what? Science? Fine. Reason? Ok.
Religion is THE tool for exploitation. You can lie to yourself, and that's what you've been trained for (Yes, I assume you are at least somewhat religious. Only religious people defend religion).
I do. And its origins are deeply rooted in religion. Lots of litterature about that.
So I'm not saying it's a magical bullet. But if we stop teaching people shit like "faith", we may have fucking chance of making it. Religions are not defendable anymore, it's a cancer, and it must be abolished.
I do not respect religion.
Do you understand that they are saying the "trust me bro" is going to come from somewhere else, if not religion? Elon Musk and his claims over the years are a great example.
I highly recommend you give the South Park episode "Go God Go" a watch. It's pretty funny.
Elon musk fandom is religious. It's full blown religious thinking. That is exactly my point.
Just so you're aware, most of the Nazi ideology is based in a form of science and reason, yet it spread hate like nothing else. Eugenics is a way to use science to to fuel hate towards people for whatever characteristics you choose. Science is not immune to this abuse. Sure, it's not as common as religion, but it's something we will always have to look out for. Don't think you're immune because you don't follow a religion. That's how you end up believing this other shit that tells you you're better than others.
eugenics is not science. it's trash. pretending you do science to impose religious thinking on people is not science. It's religion however you call it.
I legitimately can't tell if that's a typo or a real opinion...
But either way, I can't see this being productive.
Fascist will use whatever rhetoric, belief, religion, creed, etc to their advantage. It is about power and manipulation.
Having said that religion, particularly Abrahamic ones, are complete garbage with or without fascism.
Modern day racism in the US traces it roots back to Christianity. There is no denying this. It is a garbage religion used to create servitude and slavery.
