The Salvation Army was a specific target of contention from the IWW in the 1910s and 20s. The Wobblies had a whole bunch of songs about how they don't actually do anything to reduce poverty and are instead full of parasitic ghouls actually perpetuating poverty. Wobblies would call them the Starvation Army.
They were founded by Evangelical Christians and are still explicitly Christian. If I remember right, they used to really work hard to convert people receiving aid from them. Hence the name...
Isn't the Washington Examiner a right wing rag or am I thinking of another one?
yeah honestly there's a good chance this article is made up culture war bullshit
What is this article?
The poll found that the percentage of respondents who had an unfavorable view of the group increased from 11% to 41% after respondents were informed of the guide and told the charity was "training members in the belief that America is a structurally racist society."
That's what they told people the guide was, and then asked them if they're into that? That's dogshit polling right there. It's the pandemic almost certainly. I don't really care about or for the SA, but goddamn we're better than raging about shit from the Washington Examiners hard cutting fascist political analysis.
I liked the headline, but I think the point of the article is supposed to be ‘wokeness and CRT are getting in the way of the important work of the SA’
definitely worth a chuckle, certainly. the idea of the SA putting out some like hardcore theory to their volunteers is hysterical.
wow who could've expected that people who LARP as soldiers for Christ would be fascist
Feels like someone in leadership isn't fascist, and this is causing the cockroaches to scurry away from the light.
taps the sign
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
It’s more that the Salvation Army disproportionately attracts chuds because of being anti lgbtq+
Well well well. Wokenss has come to the Salvation Army. Couldn't keep your politics out of my holiday charity bell wringers who I ignore.
