“Regardless of the horrible actions that took place we must take this moment to remember that God is a living and loving God who loves all his children,” a Discord post from another friend posted the day after the shooting reads. “While Charlie Kirk’s politics were not acceptable to some l ask that we all say a prayer for him and his family during these confusing times.”
“The last message is religious in nature which just goes to show the apolitical nature of the server, we all have pretty differing views on politics,” the friend said of the discord post.
Religion is not apolitical im afraid. Praying for Nazis is not apolitical either.
True, but apolitical is also used as a euphemism for centrist or right-wing by the neoliberal media outlets. This euphemism is very misleading as ignorant ‘independent’ people hide behind it to mask the actual harm their views will cause. People like Manchin for example aren’t apolitical or centrist. They are right-wing with a more presentable public persona.
Manchin and other politicians like him are essentially the fall guys for when the party doesn’t actually want a bill or action to pass. Manchin, for example, voted against confirming a new member of the national labor relations board in the last days of Biden’s term. He in effect sided against workers by refusing to appoint a new member to the board to uphold workers rights.
This made it easier for Trump to come along and further gut the board that is responsible for enforcing workers rights. You also get the same thing occasionally with ‘libertarians’ on dating apps who are also usually right-wing putting on a more respectable persona.
