Perhaps your comment is a bit of a rant with highs and lows, but this is a rather powerful analogy.
Growing up in Spain, a country with a very strong Catholic tradition, I hated the Church and its invasive prescriptions. Still to this day I count my lucky stars not having spent my younger years during the Franco dictatorship, where being Spanish was inseparable from being Catholic by law, or worse yet, during the Inquisition where by law you could end up in burnt alive in a public square.
Now, however, it's mostly Progressives who assume this role of telling people what to do. This includes companies of dubious moral standing (Google, Uber, and others) who are constantly reminding us of what's Good, mostly for marketing reasons.
I can't stand it now, as I couldn't back in the day with conservative Catholics. Can't everyone just fuck off and stop preaching their shitty gospel?
- kodah 5y agoI was raised Catholic as well, and went to a Catholic school. I've drawn heavy parallels between the Catholic church in the 90s to progressive rhetoric. You're not alone.
