Im not gonna throw shade at someone for denouncing genocide.
One of the most infuriating things about humans is their tendency to shit on good things from bad people.
Yes, we all KNOW that person is bad. But if you scold them for doing GOOD things, you are actively discouraging them from being better!
You see, there's way too much people believing in sky daddies and a huge portion of them thinks this ridiculous rich old man is connected to their god.
So no, definitely "we all know" is not true. As long as their fucking cult exists, I'm not gonna cheer them on when they're accidentally right. I don't want them to get better, I want them to be dissolved (as in the religion, not the people specifically).
In the same way I'm not gonna say how great it is that Hitler was in power because we got some sweet animal abuse laws thanks to him. Or cheer on how Mengele contributed to our modern medicine. When you're a horrible piece of shit, it doesn't matter how many times you're right.
That's a really hot take; comparing Hitler to The Pope. At least, the current pope.
I've seen hotter. No matter how you slice it the Pope is the head of an organization that systematically covered up child abuse for decades, probably centuries.
What's so hot about it? You think the catholic church is not comparable in the atrocities they committed? Note that they've been doing it for quite a bit longer.
Right? Wevre not going to overthrow the catholic institution anytime soon so take a fucking positive moment when we can get them. Absolutionism doesn't make progress.
I think the point is that we must remember that the enemy of our enemy is in fact not our friend. We may agree that murdering kids is wrong, but we have different motivations for wanting them to remain alive...
It kinda hits harder coming from someone more shady, TBH. Like, "we know we've done some shit, but you guys are actually fucked"
