If she’d run him over with her car or raped him, no big deal. But drugs! Drugs are bad, or something, idk.

Sometimes we use technical jargon to say something that we later realize is fairly simple. It might be obvious in retrospect, but still require thousands of years to understand, during which time the technical language is essential.

Anyway, other times we just need new words for new concepts. You can’t contemplate what you cannot name. Even the smartest humans are stupid by default and ordinary language is outstripped by our intellectual ambitions.

New concepts require new words. They also relate to each other in interesting ways, which have names, too.

Alternatively, if I ever wanted to assert something more complicated than the weather I’d need to re-build the entire conceptual framework from scratch using small words and pictures.

On the other hand, if you believe a chatbot over your doctors… just saying.

You’re right that all evil ideologies, from colonialism to religious persecution, share underlying normative features. I was merely commenting on the fact that this particular act of colonialism is, in fact, religious, since the chief justification offered by these genocidal maniacs is religious.

I also want to reiterate that fascism and all religious activity is literally cultism, all rooted in various collective fantasies. We can certainly pull these things apart by getting technical (of course). Kinda beside the point.

Its genocidal ideology is rooted in religious fanaticism.

Incidentally, all fascism works just like religion, except by sanctifying the state with iconography and dogmas of demagoguery and rebirth.

Fascism is a kind of religion, and the organized variety of the latter softens up the population for the former.

Religion is a monstrous evil.
