    I'll be quite honest with you, it's rather insulting that you think I am operating under 'an idealistic version of Christianity' which I invented. I have literally just accused the Catholic Church of genocide. And your response is to further accuse me of a mixture of delusion and denialism. This is clownish behavior.

    Do you make it a habit of going to other people's countries and giving them lectures about their own lives? Do you seriously, honestly believe, you know more than me about the history and the participation of churches in the junta governments that were imposed on my own country? Do you genuinely, genuinely believe I need you to let me know the slavery was a thing, and that it was supported by the church? I've been to the mass graves, I've been to the slave pens, I've read all the bile in the most evil historical sources you can imagine. I don't need your help and I don't care what twitter threads you've been reading. I don't see leftists rushing to defend canadian catholic schools. And even if they were, none of what your projected onto me was warranted.

    I have made a specific point about a specific aspect of a specific international reactionary movement's theology. And you've done nothing but label me with an entire worldview and personality about all the things you don't know about me.

    Fuck off.

        I’ll be quite honest with you, I think that looking at the actions of the catholic church and reducing their role to that of social workers in the current context of the third world is something that shouldn’t exist outside of really on the nose satire

        It's amazing. You just keep going. I said three things about the Catholic Church:

        • I accused them of genocide

        • I accused them of being a force against reproductive rights

        • And I said that I personally currently perceive them as a defanged enemy in relation to other reactionary religious movements in my area of the world .

        And you've chosen the single most selective and uncharitable interpretation possible. I don't know what the fuck is wrong with you and frankly I don't care. But I'm gonna ask you again to stop engaging with me. Find someone else to lecture about things you don't know and don't understand.

        Yeah, right now the reactionary movement in my country is headed by the Calvinists. The Catholics are the ones mobilizing for the center left. The world is big, nuanced and complicated. Deal with it and fuck off somewhere else.
