There has been so much going on. I had to step back and try to see beyond the trees or the components of the mosaic to see the forest or the actual image that exists. The old axiom “The more things change, the more they stay the same,” is what screams out at me. When all is said and done, capitalism is basically designed to benefit racist White Christian Males.
This is the foundation of religious policies and concepts that European explorers brought to the ‘New World’ and the colonization of all other cultures: Misogyny, economic, gender, racial, and educational inequality are at it’s foundation and in the radical right-wing ideologies that are promoted every day. What is sad is that many members of the affected marginalized groups are being duped into embracing fascists policies. They buy into various Abrahamic religious doctrine. Some are involved in the military, or are politically apathetic, or socially disaffected.
The European Christian church approved of the genocide, subjugation, theft of land, and dehumanization of any peoples who did not share their beliefs, language, or complexions. This is also true of Judaism and Islam. They all had no problem using their faith beliefs to go to war, commit murder, theft, rape, and project inequality onto the citizenry with the approval of their idea of god.
It is of no surprise in 2023 that the basic tenets of authoritarianism, racism, and dehumanizing inequality are still being transmitted from conception through religion. The whole push against abortion, is coupled with the notion of religious and family values. Income inequality, anti-LGBTQ bias, anti-history, anti-health care, poor food sourcing, are all part of the original White Nationalists concept that god always intended that non-European Whites were to slavishly serve the power structure they set up. Chosen members of all the minority groups were allowed a degree of status to serve as useful idiots, useful tools to help maintain the White racist dominance over culture.
This is clearly demonstrated in the attached videos which highlight efforts of Evangelical religious doctrine all over the world. ‘GOP Conservatives’ in local, state, and federal government entities here in the US to get disaffected minorities to support economic and social policies that work against their interests by mistakenly adopting policies supported by their religious views. Republicans in the U.S. Congress and the Senate seek to reduce and/or eliminate Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and all other social services benefits provided by the government. Under the blatant lie that Democracy was founded strictly in Christian terms. (Christian White Nationalists terms!)
The videos below speak to the general points as to how effective the embrace of evangelical interpretations of the Abrahamic religions, especially Christianity has been holding the line. I encourage you to view the attached videos objectively with understanding that mere survival is existentially under threat.
