    God approves and disapproves of slavery in both the new testament and old testament. Also in matthew 5:17-20 Jesus very clearly states that the old testament is to be followed. So even if the new testament did not include what seems to be approval of slavery, it would still not matter. But the bible also disapproves of slavery. If you want a whole lot of stuff you can quote on what you do not want to do, I would suggest looking up the skeptics annotated bible. They make some great collections.

    As long as you can make a choice it is liberation. “Freedom is the capacity to make choices, oppression the inability to make choices”.

    It’s basically diluting the politics from feminism and emphasizing choice over structural change. It sidesteps the fact that a liberty to make personal choices is in a privilege and needs structural change. That “choosing” to be a housewife is not a possible option for most people for example. As well that people who aren’t white nor/or cis nor/or straight do often miss access to the same infrastructure in order to get to the same place as their cis/straight/white counterparts.

    I don’t know if I worded this well, but I tried my best.


  • I am here because I was used to good faith. I ended up not posting on Reddit for a while, and the used to be moderate places turned into hellscapes. TLDR and your wrong does nothing to enrich me after writing a pretty good paragraph. For example, on why autism isn’t all that bad. Just being positive about, or being autistic, makes you a mass downvote target in some spaces.

    Then, especially when the Subreddits that were supposed to be one thing turned into another (for example, LGBTQI+ becoming toxic towards LGBTQI+ from the mods or the biggest trans server being transphobic at the moderation). I just quickly felt the need to find an alternative, and it made me end up here. I’d rather have posts that are not seen much, then being berated for no reason. I sometimes also end up having a pretty good conversation here, and it is nice.
