Yeah, the Catholic Church guarded access to education, preventing the rest of the commoners from learning how poorly they translated the Bible to maintain control of the people. It’s too bad the Protestant movement didn’t destroy the Catholic Church.
You mean despite of Christianity.
The book is bigger than at its base. Our society cannot progress without removing it from a focal point.
Of course they want you to use their shops. That way they can charge whatever price they want.
It’s the same reason McDonald’s ice cream machines are always down.
If they don’t rectify your problem the company wins and they might get a promotion.
You’ve got jack shit without a union.
Not even real money, tech bro phantom bullshit.
Progress won’t come from any Christianity (and likely almost any religion, but I don’t know others well enough to comment). They will either need to denounce the book as being bullshit and decide to progress or they will continue to hold society behind.
Got to love the constant partisan distraction machine.
Congrats on the booming economy while we’re helping with genocide overseas and we have record homelessness here.

With ads being put on the videos now it’s definitely not worth it.
Good to see more people are understanding how anti-consumer our digital distribution laws are. Sucks they had to find out this way, but people have been warning of this for years.
I literally said I’d vote for him.
Your inability to actually discuss the argument instead of just simping for your genocidal Uncle Joe is pathetic.
People wonder how average Germans allowed the Nazi party to go so far. We are talking about literal fucking genocide and you come in here and says “but it’s the best version of genocide we got” while throwing up your hands and immediately insulting anyone who complains.
It’s no wonder things keep going so far when we continue lowering the bar and there’s still simps willing to lecture people while their Party helps commit mass murder.
I love how readily you dehumanized the people getting killed over there so you could easily suck the Dems. Typical liberal.
Who said to do nothing? I’m saying this path is also terrible.
We as a people, and specifically the commenters who insist these are the only options, are consciously choosing between the two paths that lead to genocide. We are specifically saying we are too comfortable and indifferent to demand the changes to prevent it.
That’s insane.
They already do. The important difference between then and now is he won’t be around to keep making up nonsense.
Anyone insisting that the only way to move forward is to vote for someone who is promoting genocide is effectively saying that, yes.
I did look at that and I wanted to try it out, but they don’t even have a free trial, which is unfortunate. Part of the reason I used duolingo was because I am hoping to get the basics for free so I can see if I’m actually learning.
That people need to start by stopping this “only voting matters” narrative that so many push. I know people try to counter that by saying that people are overworked and don’t have time for protests or any other direct action, but the Labor Movement was done by people working 70ish hour weeks.
More people need to be willing to protest. Until they are, things aren’t going to meaningfully get better.
Right now, the message I get from a lot of these conversations here is that the President is allowed to have a little genocide as a treat because otherwise there could be more genocide. It’s completely insane.
I have some gaming friends over there that I want to visit, so I might this year!
Good to know, also been learning Dutch and was hoping to make a switch
They’re doing what they’ve always done, trying to get money. This shouldn’t be a shock.
“voting is the only way to create change” is the mentality that got us here.
You know why George Floyd’s murderer was the only one who got the sentence he deserved? Because the people demanded it by threatening capital.
That doesn’t make sense when they backed the one in California but only didn’t back this one because it would allow consumers to go outside of their repair system.
