Under this interpretation nothing can ever be revolutionary. There is absolutely and ideology that is dominant in society at large and trying to say that the ideology that runs 95% of world powers and one that opposes it are equally "revolutionary" is counterfactual.
- civilized 3y agoYou can be revolutionary by seeking big change at personal risk because you're not socially dominant (or militarily in other contexts). There have been times this happened. Who is doing that today?

- defrost 3y agoYour material: As readers of my book *All One in Christ* will find, the content of CRT is even more disturbing than this brief summary indicates – and it is also riddled with blatant logical fallacies, crude social scientific errors, and assumptions and policy recommendations that are utterly contrary to the natural moral law and the Catholic faith. appears to be a lengthy pro catholic | anti CRT self promoting strawman.

- astrange 3y agoIs running a casino more moral than a copper mine?
- defrost 3y agoThere's a clear distinction between * people choosing to build a casino on a specific portion of their land that they choose to build upon, and * people having no say over third parties excavating a giant hole beneath a large area of their land at a particular location they believe has deep religous meaning | spititual connection.
- indigo945 3y agoStealing people's land to build a casino is no more or less moral than doing the same to build a copper mine. However, only one of these is actually going on.
- mitt_romney_12 3y ago> Who is doing that today? So many people. Look no further than the activists who are continuing to protest against Cop City in Atlanta despite the fact that the cops have already murdered one person [1] and arrested many more on trumped up charges [2].
