Q: why not organize and stop treating the bus as a legitimate entity? why aren’t you working to stop the bus?
A: do both. cut the fuel line. break windows. put oatmeal in the gas tank. but maybe your efforts don’t succeed this election cycle. and if so don’t fucking throw away your vote if it can help your neighbors fucking survive. “harm reduction” is not a political strategy for action. it is a last minute, end of the line decision to save lives, after all other resources have been exhausted.
yep. human worldviews are remarkably diverse and often don’t rigidly conform to our expectations. browsing through gallup data is a good reminder every once in a while.
Yes but… isn’t the whole point of liberalism “personal liberty above everything, keep regulations to the extreme minimum”? To me that feels like a vegan that randomly decides eating one type of meat is ok.
Re-reading the survey, if the options were only Conservative, Moderate and Liberal I can understand why some leftwing religious people would choose that, but it still feels weird to me.

Isn't Christianity about treating your neighbours well, and about how God loves everyone?
Not if you read the bible
I guess. Mainly wanted to highlight that "claimed ideology" isn't the same as "actual ideology".
Kinda? The thing is that Christianity is a 2000+ year old “ideology” that isn’t even consistent with itself, so it’s a given that their followers pick and choose which parts they want to adhere to.
I expected more coherence from a philosophy that’s barely 400 years old but apparently that’s still too much I guess.
