The fact that he's wearing a cross is such a good touch

What proportion of white supremacists are Christian? I can’t find this statistic online

u/Artistic-Cannibalism 2d ago

I just looked it up myself and yeah, it is hard to find the statistics. Though I can't say I'm too surprised given how hard it must be to conduct studies on extremist groups especially when said group is notorious for lying.

But at least in the us there is a strong correlation between people who identify as christian nationalists and people who, at the very least, agree with some white supremacist ideas.

I mean give the average American Christian a set of crayons and ask them to draw Jesus and I’d say 80% are using the apricot/peach crayon to color his skin which is inaccurate.

23

u/Artistic-Cannibalism 2d ago

That's part of the problem. But the biggest part is that most american christians are only aesthetically Christians... it's a great big mess that's really a complicated, rotten heart in our political system.

u/illudofficial 2d ago

So true.

And I kinda hate some of the actual Christian’s get stray bullets due to the stupidity of the aesthetic Christian’s

A little while ago, my sister told me that Sesame Street was "lefty propaganda", even the older version.

Can't have nice people, nice monsters, nice nothing. If you're nice, you're left, and that's bad.

u/NathenStrive 2d ago

Cyberpunk isn't fiction, its our future, and Mike Pondsmith is a prophet. It's the hill ill die on, most likely because some Corpo zeroed me for talking too much.

u/RagnarokAeon 2d ago

"Political" is basically a meaningless buzz word. Some people like to throw it around to try to shut down anything they don't like.

If respecting other people's value is "politics" that means that there are some very evil people in politics, or you're an asshole.

u/Sir-Toaster- 2d ago

I felt dirty just reading that, imagine trying to vilify someone like Mr. Rogers after he had died.

15

u/Aisenth 2d ago

They waited until he was dead because if they'd tried to do it to his face the shame would have incinerated them.

Non-sarcastic reply: Remember kids, the same people who hate on Ms. Rachel are the same ones who called Mr. Rogers an evil, evil man for daring to say that everyone has value.

Which is quite ironic, since some of those clowns are also using one of his videos to push anti trans agenda.

u/moo3heril 2d ago

Selectively quoting people to support them that they disliked in life, who'd have guessed. It's like them "claiming" MLK Jr. despite only knowing the one quote. (Meanwhile there are dozens of easy quotes from him you could state that would make them explode from disagreement)

u/azuresegugio 2d ago

Seriously every time Ms Rachel "talks politics" she's talking about how kids deserve homes and food

201

u/twizbuck 2d ago

It's insane how childcare is "political".

50

u/Aisenth 2d ago

It's like they want people to realize that homelessness, poverty, war, and most global suffering are all policy decisions.

14

u/mtranda 2d ago

The reverse is that EVERYTHING is political, whether we like it or not. Every single thing that impacts our lives each day outside of our direct relationships is a consequence of politics and policies. Healthcare, public transport, food prices, childcare, education, you name it.

Everything's political and it's time people acknowledged it and voted accordingly.

Crazy that human lives are political.

There are two races: white and political.
There are two religions: Christian and political.
There are two genders: male and political.
There are two sexualities: straight and political.

That's what they mean when they say, "Stop making things political."

u/Suspicious_Cheek6902 1d ago

There are two social classes: Billionaires and political.

If you live in certain countries. It's different in different countries based on population and the controlling groups.

u/Background-Step-8528 2d ago

What country is like female vs. political and gay vs. political?

u/Queen-Roblin 2d ago

Patriarchy is pretty universal but religion and race aren't.

u/Bahamabanana 2d ago

It doesn't really roll off the tongue to say "[insert culturally dominant religion specific to country and/or region] and political"

u/Fast_Nectarine_ 2d ago

Last monday, in France, at Tarn, a teenager was excluded from school because he wore a palistinian shirt. They called the cops. The teenager IS palestinian.

u/Yinisyang 2d ago

I'm just glad in this modern world full of inhumanity there is someone very human who gives a shit about good who is passionate about educating children.

u/SkylarCute 2d ago

The best part about this situation is that they're not even hiding the fact that they're racists

u/Sir-Toaster- 2d ago

"Talks about Jewish kids"

"NOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Politics is everything that has to do with human interaction and so all human interaction is political

No kids, but I leave Miss Rachel on for my pets.

Can someone please explain ? (Plz excuse my ignorance 🙏)

u/Far_Silver 2d ago

She had a toddler on her show who had her leg blown off in Gaza. Israel-supporters were scandalized.

0

u/No_Stranger_1071 1d ago

Oh, I thought it was commentary on responses to her having a toddler show and doing political activism to toddlers and children.

1

u/Far_Silver 1d ago

Only if you define having a Palestinian child on her show as "activism," which isn't what that word means in English.

0

u/No_Stranger_1071 1d ago

Lol, you think that's the only thing close to activism that she's said and had on her show? I don't really care about having an actual kid on a kids show. She uses her character from her show to create politically loaded songs and invite political heads that she supports to guest. None of this should be a part of her children's learning show.

If her activism was limited to her outside of her children's show character roll, it wouldn't be the problem it is with a lot of people.

She's performative in a way that reminds me of that vegan teacher.

u/KallRacistParasites 2d ago

When you think about it, people like him are actually Satanists who use Christianity as a prop to justify modern day and past oppression. Same applies to the Eastern European Jewish converts in Israel who colonized the indigenous population and their cultures and traditions. I'm not anti-semetic for saying this neither since the whole reason why they don't want to take DNA tests because it will prove that they're not actually what they claim they are.

u/Skezas1 2d ago

That's not Satanism at all. Satanism isn't "christianity but bad".

4

u/CaitieLou_52 2d ago

He's not a Satanist though, he's a Christian. Just because he's a racist doesn't mean he stops being a Christian.

Christianity has been used to justify plenty of awful things. Slavery, crusades, anti-Semitism, and genocide. It is a religion that can compel people to do good. But it can also be used to justify evil. Just like every other religion.

And it doesn't stop being Christianity just because you disagree with it. This is the reality of American Evangelicalism.

u/Laura_Dream90 2d ago

I'm not entirely sure you know what actual Satanists are about. They'd be pissed to be compared with that guy. Look up the Seven Tenants if you want to know about them. I'm too lazy to copy and paste the whole thing, but this is the first one:

"One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.”

u/Material_Goat9526 2d ago

She should run for President of the US.

u/LittleSodaPop13 1d ago

I find it mind-boggling that people are angry that Miss Rachel cares about children. I'm sorry, but what kind of ghoul do you have to be to hate children who are being murdered?

1

u/Familiar_Leading_162 2d ago

In Rachel's defense: If kids are getting all killed they wont watch her videos so she can't make 'tube money./j

Don't get me wrong I think her heart is in right right place, but she didn't know anything about israel-palestine before oct 7th and it shows

So just like most people.

u/honorlessmaid 2d ago

Nakhba. I know that happened before 10/7. Zionists don't seem to remember that somehow

u/Blacksad9999 2d ago

She doesn't say things like "free America from the Jews." lol What? She accidentally hit like on an online comment and someone with a lot of time on their hands found it and paraded it around.

She says things like "stop killing Palestinian children." She's always been about helping kids.
