They’d just take this as evidence of institutionalized persecution against Christians

Then explain all of the people in the system who are currently changing it for the worse?

Wiglaf rule

You seem to struggle with differentiating between the material and the abstract. If somebody pisses on your leg and tells you it’s raining, it’s actually piss, not rain.

The instance stands for clearly, directly, and repeatedly insisting upon the notion that fictional entities are real, and demonizing and falsely accusing those who point out that fictional entities are fictional. That is the absurdity. What an asinine and self-important thing for you to say that totally tracks with everything we’ve seen so far.

No. You can’t just say things that are convenient for you to believe and by doing so make them true. That delusion is the foundation of the row, specifically the notion on blahaj that magic incantations can make fictional creatures real. I’m not a bad person for telling you that Pegasus and Pikachu and Popeye aren’t real and can’t be real, and one would be willfully daft and willfully destructive to defend the dogma that says otherwise.

I am genuinely concerned for your well-being and your grasp on reality. Do you even realize what you’re defending? Do you think everyone who points to observable evidence contrary to your comforting preconceived notions is just evil? I’m seriously concerned about your bubble and I am worried about the toll it will take on you and your personal relationships. You demonize me over imploring you to think critically about the information you surround yourself in. You don’t seem to consider that you and your affiliations are fallible, and you’re going to experience a lot of difficulties in life if you carry on assuming that if you do something or you associate with something, then it can’t be wrong. I don’t wish harm on you, but you sure do spit a lot of venom at me for wanting you to be present in reality and to embrace empathy.

Ah yes, the safe space that famously attacks and harms members of the demographic for whom it specifically says it is safe. It’s also not a safe space if you’re just plugging your ears to reality and pretending unicorns are real; that’s called an echo chamber and a cult.

Ah yes, no one has to believe anything in particular but all dissidence will be silenced

not bellyache over transphobia and hate speech being censored or being banned from it

Literally the comment you wrote immediately before this one involved you deriding bad faith arguments.

To all the blahaj stans:

A lot of people I’ve talked to know people who are sick or are sick themselves. I’m expecting Republicanitis to be the norm going forward.
