With conservatives. it is always someone else at fault. Always.
Although I have to admit that blaming the Holy Spirit for Nazi behavior is a new, bold move. What’s next? “Jesus would have shot this person, too!” or what?
So apparently she, member of the board of Red Deer Catholic Regional Schools in Alberta, Canada, posted a meme comparing pride activism to nazi activism, like they’re “both brainwashing”. The board stripped her of her committee duties and she’s now lawyered up in response to sue other Christians about it with the claim that she’s the real victim here, that this infringes on her right to express her faith like every other normal Christian.
Oh honey, when you use your faith as a shield for your politics and your politics equivocate oppressors with those you want to see oppressed, you’ve just told the world that God is, in your image, a fascist. 🍿 🤡
Of course it was red deer XD, I grew up in that shit hole and honestly this isn’t even that surprising for the crackpot stuff that went on there. I’m surprised she got punished.
So when I first read this I assumed that she posted a nazi meme that showed Nazi’s in a good light.
An understandable mistake given the current political climate. But she shared a meme that equated nazi flags with pride flags.
In a really perverse way, I’m at least happy that she still equates being a nazi with something ‘bad’. In her mind pride flags are bad so equating them with a nazi flag means she thinks that nazis are bad. What a relief!
Here’s a friendly suggestion for Monique: if you are more concerned about protecting your fragile beliefs than understanding that freedom of speech does not absolve one from the consequences it brings, keep your Nazi memes to yourself and spare us the melodrama. The world doesn’t need more deluded individuals who use religion as a shield for their bigotry.
