The scribe quoted “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind” and then, “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
“You have answered correctly” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.”
The scribe then asked “And who is my neighbor?”
Jesus replied “It is whoever you are hoping I don’t say it is.”
If you’re struggling with the distinction between pointing out hypocrisy and a claim of moral superiority then you’re going to spend a lot of time being confused and/or upset.
100% Seconded. It’s…odd to have to chime in on something like this but I really agree. Exhibitional stupidity, paraded proudly, like a peacock whose feathers were ill-informed words. Sadly, the internet is referred to as a medium; shitheads like this are neither rare nor well-done.
Who is excluding maga? I want everyone (including maga) to have Healthcare, education, workers rights, etc. I wouldn’t go as far as “loving” but sure as he’ll not excluding them.
Excluding people because of their conscious choices and actions is something that basically every human organization and government does on a daily basis.
Excluding people because of racial/religious labels is something bigots do and it is often illegal for the organizations mentioned above to do it.
I’m curious what the replies to him were.

That’s the problem right there.

Thats an interesting not-quite-straw-man .
Pointing out that someone isn’t following the teachings they are claiming to follow doesn’t require the accuser to be an adherent to those teachings.
I could call a self professed vegan a hypocrite if I saw them eating a steak, regardless of whether or not, I myself were a vegan.
Tu quoque fallacy.
“You said drinking is bad for people but I saw you drinking the other day”
huh, i didn’t know there was a formalised name for this, TIL
“therefore drinking is not bad for people” -> tu quoque fallacy “therefore you are a hypocritical asshole” -> not fallacious
What a dope 🤦

That’s a part of his identity
Impotent anger at things beyond his ken
Has anyone told you that you’re stupid recently?
Just in case they haven’t, I’m going to take this opportunity, right now, to tell you that you’re stupid

That’s the paradox of tolerance.

MAGA having divorced themselves from reality isn’t a condemnation of the paradox of tolerance.
