The irony that someone who cannot recognize that religion is itself as an institution is a tool of oppression telling the other to learn something.

You’re a joke.

FYI, I’m not a fan of Marx. I prefer Kropotkin.

No Gods, No Masters.

Cool story except the history of religion is rooted in the patriarchal oppression of women (and the working class but that’s tangential). Just because some women of the modern day have internalized their own oppression does not justify the origins of why the practice was first institutionalized nor negate its roots as an oppressive institution

You’re right. It is nuanced. Women want to cover themselves because it makes them comfortable? Okay, cool, that’s what they want and that is valid. Women doing so for “religious reasons” is literally just internalized oppression. Those religious reasons are inherently oppressive. Religion itself as a societal institution is a tool of oppression.

The meme is framed poorly for the message you’re probably trying to convey. I get you’re probably trying to do the whole “No war but Class War” thing, but this ain’t the way to do it.

Most people won’t really understand that if we focus on class war, we can eliminate the root causes of those issues, so this meme makes it seem like we oppose solving those issues rather than the message of we can get two birds with one stone if we change focus.

And practice introspection to know if your decisions are truly yours and not the product of social stigmas which have taught you to hate yourself to appease the sensibilities of those who only wish to oppress you.

I don’t think you’re making the point you think you’re making.

Look at old photos? You mean photos from eras when patriarchal oppression was at its height? Yea, not exactly helping your position.

And just because other religions do it doesn’t justify the practice. It is still a practice that is rooted in the patriarchal oppression of women. It just goes to show that religion, all of them, is an oppressive institution.

I have, unfortunately your metaphor sucked and only served to further imply that those of the global south are somehow less worthwhile than US citizens.

Hell ain’t real.

Trying to equivocate the atrocities of the US military as being “not as bad” as what ICE is doing to US citizens is tacitly implying that those being oppressed in the global South by US military are less worthwhile than that of US citizens.

Yea, I see that thread too.

An open dialogue discussing the nuances of each other’s interpretations to come to a common ground? On my political memes sub?

What heresy is this?

So nice for the trash to take itself out. Go ahead and do me too, bootlicker.

Holy fucking misinformation.

It’s hilarious. The people making the memes are usually top tier but the comments are filled with clowns. It’s wild.

This one sparks joy.

Don’t lie, you don’t want to solve shit. You just want to be the problem.

You can read it all you want but you authoritarians don’t understand shit that isn’t hierarchy. I’m not about to open fucking theory books on a damn memes sub. God you fucking .ml’s are insufferable

It is one of the backbones of being able to get anything more done, though. It’s much more than a fallback. It is part of the foundation

For hierarchical committees where order needs to come from the top down, sure, your sarcasm is warranted.

Still, there are other structures of committee organization that are horizontal in nature and allow for much more flexibility when it comes to needing to make decisions.

Something some well regulated militia something something

I more meant the ideology and the politicians of it, not the voter base.

You are correct though.

You, comrade, are a saint.
