I swear I’d not seen the term “christofascism” until this year. It’s an apt term for all the talk about the new speaker of the house, rolling back of Roe v Wade, banning books and increased persecution of LGBT+ rights…

But if I was Christ I’d be pretty darn upset right now. I talk about love and tolerance and peace and you’re going to use my name to make shitty, power grabbing, political, oppressive moves? The fuckin audacity. I’d be flipping tables and calling out the hypocrites.

I know it’s a conversation as old as time. I also don’t believe Christian’s should be able to point at it and say “yeh but that’s not MY Jesus.” Doesn’t fucking matter, they’re identifying as a You so if You don’t do something about it then it’s as good as doin it yourself.

Sigh.

Well it is an oxymoron. At least in the way people use the term. Say someone said someone was an "anarchocommunist". The person wouldn't think they are "perfectly Marx" or "perfectly anarchist" because then that wouldn't be the term. I wouldn't even give Paul the pass on this, I doubt any ruler good or bad can say they stay true to the lord who made his stance on government clear.

Though I disagree with him, in the end he's probably going to end up more normal than people make him out to be.

You shouldn't use another oxymoron

What do you mean?

[–] Diprount_Tomato@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"anarchocomunism"

My very point is that it's not one or the other and it doesn't claim to be, it's a straddle.
