We would like to begin by saying this is so offensive to the followers of Djehuty. Followers who are correct, intelligent, well informed, educated and continue to educate themselves and understand the material. We cannot believe they are getting lumped in and called “shitty” because a bunch of whiny internet fools, who don’t understand their own political slants, make some arbitrary judgement.
Those “shitty kemetics™” understand the historical contexts of the religion though and their arguments and information are salient and correct. We understand it must be hard for you to argue with someone smarter then you. We understand the sjw kemetics™ are anti-intelligence and pro-hivemind, but this is absurdly offensive. Attacking all of the God of Wisdom and Knowledge’s followers...all of whom are well read, informed, educated, and understand the academic materials they source...know whats up. You assume they must be bumbling idiots because they don’t agree with your reductive ideological arm-wavey yelling at the sky in helplessness. You’re a bunch of anti-education and anti-intellectuals. All of which is the antithesis of Djehuty.
“maybe claimging Djehuty as their god gives them an inherent sense of correctness??”
No, we must inform you, being well read, knowing wtf they are talking about, and constantly learning new things, gives them that correctness. Because they are correct. They studied the material and understand it. Read what they say about Djehuty, he takes care of them, encourages them to read, to study, to grow. They do, they keep doing it. They keep learning and growing.
It’s not a twisted opinion to say “you are wrong in this, here is why____, here’s my sources for why you are wrong” and you don’t like it because you can’t argue against their points. You’re just mad because you can’t mental gymnastics your ways out of the argument to be right, even after moving the goalposts. The followers of Djehuty value learning, education, reading, and expanding their minds. You value reduction of the mind to a narrow myopic view where you can never be wrong. We need to point out, followers of Djehuty, when proven wrong, learn from it and grow, and correct themselves when they see they were wrong, you and your bedfellows tell trans people their fears aren’t real and spent YEARS harassing the same people you STILL can’t prove wrong...by claiming they must be shitty.
We must say to Djehuty, we are sorry these reductive knowledge hating kids try to attack your people.

This is such a horrendously awful thing to say that words fail me. There is so much wrong and so many wrong assumptions it almost physically hurts.
Followers of Djehuty, as we have observed, are drawn to scholarly texts and tend to be extremely well read on matters pertaining to Ancient Egypt. They claim inherent correctness because they’ve done the research and are correct.
It’s almost like followers of the god of wisdom and knowledge value correct information or something.
