what exactly about my short comment made you assume my whole ‘attitude’?
Didn't necessarily have to be your short comment. It was probably all the other alt-right shit in your comment history and the fact that you moderate "MakeLemmyGreatAgain" ffs
Idgaf what consenting adults do.
Everyone you vote for does, so by proxy you do as well because you're supporting those platforms. Don't backpedal your stance because you don't like the taste.
Again, your comment history is visible. Your account is only seven days old and you've already laid out clear political leanings with your comments. You may not be an official Republican because you can't vote for them as a non-American but you certainly agree with all their stances which is enough for me to know you're kind of a piece of shit. Good luck with that.
That definition was invented by christians seeking to destroy small religions through stigma. It's on the same tier as the witch hunters defining a witch as an evil sorceresss. Obviously made up and fake, obviously pushing a harmful agenda.
> Since the 1940s, the Christian countercult movement has opposed some sects and new religious movements, labeling them "cults" because of their unorthodox beliefs. Since the 1970s, the secular anti-cult movement has opposed certain groups and, as a reaction to acts of violence, frequently charged those cults with practicing mind control. Scholars and the media have disputed some of the claims and actions of anti-cult movements, leading to further public controversy.
> In the English-speaking world, the term cult often carries derogatory connotations.[14] In this sense, it has been considered a subjective term, used as an ad hominem attack against groups with differing doctrines or practices.[9][15] As such, religion scholar Megan Goodwin has defined the term cult, when it is used by the layperson, as often being shorthand for a "religion I don't like".[16]
Like I said, Christians invented the new definition due to hate. We shouldn't use it.
