the_dunk_tank
It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Exposing hypocrisy is always a losing strategy, but it’s doubly so when trying to apply it to Christians and white evangelicals in particular (I know she’s Catholic but I think she’s trying to reach those white evangelicals.
It’s because white evangelicalism - which something like 25% of Americans identify with - can barely be called a “religion”. It’s more like, part of the superstructural glue that holds white settler colonialism together. Actual beliefs don’t matter to them. They just take what they want to be true - and whatever upholds white supremacy - and justify it later. If you can find something in the Bible about it… great. If not, they can still find a way to make their own beliefs into doctrine.
They're religious but not spiritual.
It's about being in the club. They don't actually believe in sin - evil is when you're not white, straight, cis, conservative. Everyone who is those things has a free pass.
