      Christians are anti-racist BY NATURE. There are very few actual white nationalists and zero with any political power, despite what you’ve been told via the hyperbolic Democrat rhetoric and their paid online spokespersons and former mainstream news outlets.

        Christians are anti-racist BY NATURE

        well, this much at least used to be true historically. back 2000 years ago, when christianity was invented, it was normal that each ethnic group had their own religion. i.e. a god represented an ethnicity, instead of an idea.

        zoroastrianism, later judaism and christianity tried to change that by making god represent an idea, instead of an ethnic group. you could say it’s the transition from ethnics to ethics.

        they welcomed everyone who shared the same ideals as them, (including strangers and foreigners), and that changed the world. it was basically an anti-racist movement and one that tried to focus on intellectual insights and deep convictions instead of birthplace and color of skin.

        it is in this context particularly funny that white nationalists are using christianity as a reason for their racism. because that’s literally the opposite of what christianity was invented to do.

        i’m well aware that christianity has enshittified a lot in the modern age and that it’s nothing but an empty, hollow word now. just saying.

      This is completely asinine. Look at the cabinet.

      Bad faith actor spitting propaganda. Don’t waste the effort.

      The current administration is made up of white nationalists, but sure, live in whatever fantasy land you currently believe in.

          I’m sorry, but your arguments are terrible.

          A) if I say I condemn white supremacists, but a protest that turned violent, due to said white supremacists, had fine people on both sides; what conclusion does that leave? One, he lied. He either lied about condemning white supremacists, or he lied about very fine people. Either way, he lied. This produces a loss of trust, words do not hold any meaning by Trump anymore.

          B) yeah, imma need to see some data on that one. Bringing the whole country into this, I can’t see it. The fact that there is a disproportionate amount of black representation in congress, disproves this.

          C) you’re intentionally ignoring nuance and comprehension skills. When people say MAGAs are white supremacists, it’s guilty by association. If I support Hitler, I am supporting the actions that he took. E.g. It doesn’t matter if I like the guy’s paintings, he still did horrendous things and any good deed is tarnished by his life work of destruction and despair. The same applies to Trump. Also, hyperbolization is the word you’re looking for, not hyperbolic-ism lol.

          I highly recommend staying away from YouTube/TikTok debaters. You clearly argue like them; not really arguing points, but trying to elicit emotional reactions. Which just makes you a troll, really. You clearly are intelligent, but you could be so much more if you tried. Read some books, study history. Look at all the things this world has to offer. You will never progress, if you stop learning. Much love to you, mate. I hope you find whatever it is you’re looking for.

          Lololol, so you’re saying we should be impressed by the fact that the one time he condemned white supremacy, he immediately contradicted it? K(kk), got it. It’s funny you think that supports your argument 😂🤣

      Source this out for me. Because atheists are like 1% of the US population at least. There are more white national Christians at your local mega churches than white atheists in the county.

      Christians don’t exist “by nature”. While it’s accurate that a true Christian wouldn’t be racist, they don’t exist in meaningful enough numbers to lead the church away from the bigots who’ve overtaken it. Christians would never vote for a pathological liar and admitted sexual deviant, but look where we are. Your concept of Christianity is commendable, but naive and incongruent with reality. The fact you think it’s a political party poisoning the world against Christianity and not the actions of Christians just points out your own biases and propaganda-fed misconceptions. I know Trump is not an actual Christian, but he certainly claims to be and he’s definitely a white supremacist. And since the church put him in power and continue to support him voraciously, they effectively are all racists now. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

      A lot of speculation on your part without any evidence to the contrary. If you want to engage in good faith dialogue, be prepared with sources and not personal opinions.

      Also your username in itself is a reference to white nationalism, so…
