Not really loving how my post about the left's love affair with eugenics and blood and soil ideology framed as "decolonization" got coopted into another "wait it's all Christianity??" "It always has been" post." Y'all are sticking your heads in the sand if you think this is a problem with "cultural Christianity." This is the exact same pattern we saw play out in the 1979 Iranian revolution and much of this ideology was coopted from the Nazis by the Soviets and reframed as progressive. This is not an issue with Western "cultural Christianity" and it would be great if Jumblr could stop engaging in the same "there's actually one secret root cause of every problem in the world and if we get rid of it we will have utopia" thing that antisemites have been using against Jews for 2000 years.

#i stg some people really dont understand that the problem with that ideology is not ~we are blaming the wrong religion/people~#there are recognizable patterns of oppression and social issues that have to do with Christianity but not every problem in the world is #rooted in cultural Christianity and the only reason you see so many issues with cultural Christianity is because you live in a majority #Christian country where Christians are in charge #i promise the samd ideology that we see antisemitic ~activists~ in Lebanon using are not caused by their extremely oppressed tiny Christian #community. i promise that the Iranian revolution that found roots in much of the same ideology and thought was not caused by their tiny #oppressed Christian community either #the similar arguments about who is indigenous to the contested areas of Pakistan and India and therefor who can kill which civilains and be #justified has 0 to do with Christianity #and im sorry but the concerted effort by Hamas to insist that Jews are not indigenous to Israel and that therefore it is acceptable to kill #Jews is not rooted in Christianity it is rooted in the co opting of Soviet antisemitism to justify their very much not Christian religious #extremism in a way that appealed to the communist bloc and now appeals to the Western Leftists that have adopted this ideology as well #jumblr #antisemitism #leftist antisemitism #soviet antisemitism #im sorry but the only reason you dont feel the need to be sensitive when talking about Christianity is because you do not live in a country #where Christians are a oppressed or scapegoated minority but i promise that does not mean those countries do not exist or those communities #do not exist and scapegoating Christians or cultural Christianity for problems that have very little if anything to do with Christianity is #the extact same shit people have been doing to jews for 2000 years #this eugenics shit has become a very common argument for the murder of jews and other communities living in the Wrong Place #all over the world and it is not at all contained to ex Christian leftists #this exact anti imperialist rhetoric was used to justify the expulsion of the jews from egypt in the 1950s #and from Iran in the 1979 when jews were charged with being imperialist spies for Iran and America #do you think those countries were Christian? lol #this eugenics shit framed as anti imperialism is not rooted in Christianity or ~cultural Christianity~ and has basically nothing to do with #Christianity at all #christianity #jewblr
