I'm sure you have all noticed this from various comment boards to Reddit and 4chan. "I'm a Christian but (communist bullshit)" or "I was a Republican but (more communist bullshit)". It never turns out well, the atheists will still say youre an idiot as will progressives. Why placate them? Why does nobody stand up for their beliefs? Are we that scared of cancel culture or are we just that scared of possibly offending someone? Who will be the first to say, "This is what I think. Dont like it? Tough titties, now get out of my way".

Not every branch of Christianity are bigoted evangelicals.
I cannot say that the SJWs and communists don't mean well. At a very broad, conceptual level, a lot of what they say they want is compatible with what I perceive to be virtuous and a desirable direction for the world. It is only the fact that their ideas won't work and have been repeatedly shown to not work that puts me at odds with them.
You know that Nigerian prince doesn't actually mean well when he asks you to just cover the bank's transfer fees, right?
The ideas don't work by design. They're not meant to provide solutions, only justification for an attack. Unless you believe the majority of the populace is functionally retarded then you have to know most people supporting those ideas aren't doing it because they thought it through and really think that's the most likely long term solution to various moral dilemmas. They're doing it because it either directly benefits them or hurts someone they hate in the immediate future. Most would just prefer having a nice sounding excuse to fall back on rather than openly admitting they're doing it out of spite and selfishness.
Yes.
And what I'm saying is that justification is rational when evaluated from a christian perspective.
If the question is: "was christ a marxist or a galtist", the answer is he was closer to marx than to galt.
Christianity condemns the violence, but it cannot disagree with the animus.
The animus is greed and spite. The justification is a weakly held facade.
Forgive me for thinking you're one of the more confused Christians I've ever met if you think the outward words are more important than the intent in the eyes of God.
Do you believe you have free will?
