Let me make this clear:

The target isn't CHRISTIANS > It's Christian Nationalism

The target isn't MEN > It's Patriarchy

The target isn't WHITE PEOPLE > It's White Supremacy

The target isn't HETEROSEXUALS > It's Homophobia

The target is not whole groups of people > Its OPPRESSIVE BELIEF SYSTEMS

People can believe something is true, and people can believe something is not true.

The belief itself does not make the thing true.

Each of us is a sum total of our life experiences and environments we grew up in. We should always stand ready to challenge ourselves and question our beliefs.

Agreed on all counts, although I feel it's important to acknowledge an uncomfortable truth: there will be civilian casualties in the culture war, just like there are casualties in real ones.

To your point Christian Nationalism.. As a teenager where I grew up in Colorado that never entered my thoughts but having watched footage of 1/6/2021 I saw the flags these folks had. Now I see one in someone's lawn in the suburb I grew up as I moved back here in Aug 2013. and a church that was

It is no longer what was known in the past. But as in the original groups of people, it is always inside the person that is the key not the outside of them.

Say that again LOUDER.. White supremacy when I was a child 5 years old was only the seated group with white men and women. Now being retired I am seeing that it is not limited to ethnically marked usual suspects. They come in many ethnicities, ones you would not logically associate with white suprem

Another thing hard for some to understand: White skin holds privilege, but you don’t have to be white to participate in white supremacy. There’s a lot of people outside of the whites trying to get into the white club. Sadly, they only understand some of the rules and overlook the others.

When I was active on Quora, a million years ago, when guys asked why women in their lives "hated men," I always felt compelled to suggest that they get their keyboard checked to fix that erroneous "n."

They always want to replace consequences for their behavior with an attack on their identity.

Very insightful comment. I had to read it twice.

As a single woman, I can say with confidence that it is not men that women hate. It is the belief that some men hold that women should somehow be subservient, and even used as nothing more than their toilet.

I know people who are good Christians who's posts at times make it clear they're upset what gets said. But when asked if they've said or done anything on their own or their congregation to let them and others know it's not what they believe they just go silent I then let them know that's the problem

Silence is complicity - whether perceived or real. Unless they speak up and let the world know this is not how all Christians believe and behave then they will continue to find themselves lumped all together in one big box.

As a member of 4 out 5 of your examples ( I'm an atheist ), I'm never triggered by any of that.

Why? Because I opened my eyes many years ago to who was really the biggest problem. The people like my grandparents, parents and all their friends and, they would all be triggered by your target list.

I'm sad to say the same is true for my mom and many other family members as well. Fox "News" successfully indoctrinated each of them. I wish we could file a class action law suit against Fox for all the damage they have caused to families both here in the US and abroad in the UK and Australia.
