Sheltered Reddit liberals finding out in real time that they're not in a pro-west echo chamber is fucking hilarious. (hexbear.net)

Its like Hillary walking into a working class kitchen for the first time.

They've been shielded from even critical support of China and other AES for so long they literally, not figuratively, literally cannot process that people exist that have beliefs that aren't Reddit Approved. They immediately assume it's bots or wumao. Human beings can't possibly hold these beliefs, so they must be Oriental hordes or actual robots.

It's not most churches. You don't think Protestant churches, Evangelical churches, synagogues, etc have the same scale problem?

Gossip is a worse plague than Covid

Obviously he's talking about hate and discrimination.

A lot of those sects have less or nearly no central organizing. The Catholic Church particularly has a history of leveraging its central organizing to reassign abusers elsewhere and cover up their crimes.

That's a joke. Obviously he says those things pretty often, but he was being a lot more coy with the statement I'm talking about.

Francis’s comments came as he elaborated on a gospel passage about the need to correct others privately when they do something wrong. The Catholic hierarchy has long relied on this “fraternal correction” among priests and bishops to correct them when they err without airing problems in public.

Survivors of sexual abuse have said this form of private reprimand has allowed abuse to fester in the church and let both predator priests and superiors who covered up for them escape punishment.

"Just trust the system, no need to bring in outsiders or warn other potential victims"

You want me to renounce my religion because some churches are abusive? Just admit you're Christianophobic

This is bait. There is no way this isn't bait. che-smile

But let's pretend this isn't bait. Read more about ``Liberation theology". Not the watered down liberal interpretation of it, but their theoretical marxist and anti-colonialist ideological corpus. Where they saw the "Great Satan '' in capitalism, their interpretation of reality through dialectic-materialism, their support for anti-colonialist movements and socialist revolutions.

They helped in Nicaragua, they opposed reactionary archbishops, they joined the guerrillas in the revolutionary process, they understood that Marxism wasn't the boogeyman the Department of State and The Vatican tried sold them.

Of course they were shunned by the Vatican and persecuted and killed during the 60-70-80 in Latin America (DSN and Operation Cóndor for more).

But hey, they knew who the real enemy was. And China (just like Cuba or Nicaragua) isn't the real enemy. Is an ally. A way to a better world.
