How It's Made turned me into a communist

like i mean im sure those people exist but i absolutely cannot relate, if i was struggling with something financially and someone more well off than me offers to handle it, fuck yeah i'd accept. pride is nothing, hunger and medical issues are real.

and like listen at a certain point i think you might just have terrible priorities. its like that thing with the rabies vaccine, how it doesn't have any warnings against taking it with allergies or while pregnant or whatever, because untreated rabies has a 100% fatality rate so the chance of complications doesn't matter. someone MIGHT give you money with strings attached, but its almost certainly still better than starving to death or dying of treatable disease.

whatever your life is now, its not actually good. i am not relying on any facts about your life in the slightest to make this conclusion

because of that, you're not actually happy at all -- again, with zero evidence

the only pathway to true happiness is MY religion. your life experiences up to this point are irrelevant.

there is zero likelihood that you left christianity because of trauma

your lifestyle, whatever it is, is fundamentally wrong

your religion or theology, whatever it is, is fundamentally wrong

your belief system, whatever it is, is fundamentally wrong

your culture, cultural ties and expressions, and deeply-held cultural beliefs, are all fundamentally wrong to the point that, if you do not change, you will suffer possibly in this lifetime AND the next and deserve every ounce of pain if you don't change to my religion

again I cannot stress enough that there are two reasons why people suffer: they're either being Prepared for Greatness (that we'll never know about and that, because we'll never know, can get our hopes up but also can't rely on or expect because thats wrong) or You Fully Deserve It, regardless of what the suffering is.

my religion and my god "save" people but also does not even guarantee basic safety to people who need it and you're ludicrous for expecting that
