How many mass graves and extinct cultures are needed to convince Christian apologists that missionaries and missionizing are inherently xenophobic?
The answer is apparently always, "At least one more."
honestly missionaries are evil. the idea of traveling the world to tell people Who Didnt Fucking Ask that their beliefs are wrong in the hopes that theyll adopt your beliefs seems sinister
I barely post but plz look at this again

Quora Atheists TM will insist that the New Atheist movement is just atheists “finally standing up for themselves” but every time they hear someone mention anything to do with religion they’re all “SPOOPERSTITION! MAKE-BELIEBE! HAHAHAHA YOU ARE DUMB FOR EVEN MENTIONING RELIGION! UNGA BUNGA CAVEMAN! I AM VERY INTELLIGENT!”
I wish I was making it up, but I genuinely see that kind of response over and over whenever there’s a question on Quora that even mentions religion, and I am barely exaggerating
There’s a question about w*ndigoag and 90% of the answers call the belief “another laughable superstition” and go out of their way to mock the idea that saying the name might be a bad thing
Any time someone asks about the Torah or the Old Testament, it’s basically guaranteed that the answers will be full of people talking about “bronze age superstitions”
I once answered a question about religion, making it clear that I’m an atheist while trying my best to answer the question respectfully, and I literally got a comment in all caps, talking about how religion is fake and was invented by cavemen, and featuring the phrase “unga bunga”
You’re not “standing up for yourself” you’re going out of your way to be a dick
Remember calming cat? Remember when tumblr was this color? If you don’t that’s fine. I just feel old and alone.
This is in response to something I saw a transphobe say (and this is paraphrased) about the protests in Melbourne:
"Do people really think those nazi males actually support radical feminism and women's right to speak? They weren't there to support the radfems. Have some critical thinking skills"
This person was trying to get radfems off the hook for the presence of the nazis. But the nazis were absolutely there to support the radfems, because nazis and radfems have a shared enemy: trans people.
Nazis are antifeminist, yes. But fascism will always ally itself with whoever it can to in order to promote its cause. So right now it's convenient to ally with radfems, because nazis are anti-trans, and radfems are anti-trans.
It's a "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" sort of situation.
This should be a wake-up call to radfems that maybe, being anti-trans... is fascist. If nazis agree with something you're saying, the thing you're saying might be fascist.
The past is rarely as we imagine it.
