Y’all would rather there be less boots on the ground cause the leftist Christian, who knows community resources like the back of their hand and hands out resource cards like their candy, is a pacifist and doesn’t believe in violent revolution.

You would rather the movement die because the union in Appalachia wants to start the meeting with a prayer asking for protection.

If your revolutionary ideas only stem from your HATE of something rather than your love of people then what is your end goal? When the thing/people you hate have been vanquished then what’s left? What do you do after that? You will find another thing to hate.

I have met plenty of non-religious leftists that hate people more than they love people. While I’m sure they are out there, I have YET to meet a religious leftists that doesn’t believe in leftism because they want to love people better.

I’m not saying this in a religious superiority way. I’m saying this in a “Y’all have blind spots” way. Religious people have those too, there are so many religious people who aren’t leftist. Hell there are religious people who use it as an excuse to HATE.

But hate is not exclusive to religion. I’m saying it’s a blind spot because you have to jump through hoops to be a religious leftist basing your ideology on hate. You don’t have to jump through those same hoops if you aren’t religious.
