Marxists are known to do shitty things and then backtrack half way if the backlash gets too much. And then seek mercy , if things get too much, appealing to Christian values of forgiveness but we all know that often times this is just a ruse, and that they will seek to try again over and over again to subvert our culture.
The Japanese diss song that said "we will never forgive or forget" would stop these marxists from using this kind of trickery. i feel like this is how conservatives should behave when people disrespect our culture. Yet it would go against Christian values. And if you suggested something like that in a western normie conservative sphere you will find conservatives bring up forgiveness is a Christian value and talk about Jesus's forgiveness. How do you feel about that? i feel sometimes like Christianity can defend cultures but it stops people from going on the offense.
This all reminds me of the demons from Frieren who prey on human compassion and mercy to get humans to let down their guard before immediately backstabbing them.
Genuine repentence is required for forgiveness. I cannot forgive someone who is unrepentent. Jesus often speaks in hyperbole and the point is to forgive freely, not to let someone step all over you.
This verse is as misconstrued as the "turn the other cheek" and "carry it another mile" verse.
He was talking about peaceful protest and using the system against your oppressors, not letting them walk all over you.
At the time it was perfectly legal for any Roman citizen (mostly soldiers in Israel) to make a non-citizen carry their burden for one mile, but any more was illegal. Someone slapping you was degrading, but punching someone or using your right hand was reserved for equals, by turning the other cheek you forced them to either leave you alone, or strike you as an equal.
The message is actually quite the opposite as how it's construed nowadays.
