How about the 80's in some areas of the Bible Belt? Define oppression.
You can't show/rent this movie because it has nudity. These movies need to be banned because they have swear words. Sex outside of marriage is illegal. Or at the extreme end, all courses on evolution need to be banned because it contradicts the Bible. Trying to use economic blackmail to force businesses to accept your version of morality.
YOU are allowed your opinions and encourage others to follow you through example and action. You are not allowed to dictate that others accept your opinions and use manipulative tactics to obtain it. That is oppression.
God's law does exist. Theft is always wrong, including theft of the right to decide your own journey on this planet. (Which is why abortion is wrong. It steals the life of another.) There are absolutely lines we all need to respect. Christian fundamentalism crosses those lines. Christianity does not. You can't force your belief structure on others through coercion.
That was my point and you made it beautifully. What you call "oppression" was nothing but fighting against the time tested playbook of the Cabal - immorality to breakdown our spirituality, our family values, and ultimately our kids.
Thankfully, I dont have to make myself hoarse arguing how immorality is the gateway to the Satanic enslavement because we are watching that movie playing out right in front of our eyes.
Whether you call it spirituality or christianity, whether you follow the words in the Bible or not, guess what? At the end of all this, we are going to a world of morality and family and spiritual values because without those, we have seen the precipice they brought us to.
The only thing that made it this hard for the Cabal to bring us to this brink is the Christian values, whether you like it or not.
What you are talking about is not "Fundamentalism" but what propaganda smears it as fundamentalism.
Trying to use economic blackmail to force businesses to accept your version of morality.
Oh man, I fell off my chair reading this. What is ESG? Why are all the countries around the world forced to accept LGBT ideology?
I think you have very little self awareness that you are throwing this out without even a hint of irony.
Here is another way to thinking about it: Having seen how the progressivism has used and abused peoples ideas of equality and freedom to push us to the brink, how would you codify in a set of rules that would prevent the future generations from being taken advantage of the same way?
I believe this is basically what the Christianity set out to do, after Jesus exposed the bankers doing pretty similar to what they are doing today, and tried to codify simple rules that would keep the future generations safe.
If I have to choose between Dungeons and Dragons or Keeping kids safe from the Satanists, I would chose the latter any day. It's not a solution, but a compromise.
"The world is more complex than that. I find those who paint the world with a paint roller are simplistic and uninteresting."
And what you've said is very much a simplistic rebuttal of an argument.
1 - speaking in terms of "far far right" when referring to... Christianity? I'm not even sure what you're speaking about... something religious in your mind though?
I'll assume you're speaking about Christianity - to consider that Right or Left is completely misunderstanding it. It is Neither. That is a very simplistic paradigm that is born of the world's value system, with no understanding of what the Bible teaches.
To say the things Jesus did in his time, he made RADICAL statements. Love thy enemy! Forgive everyone without exception. Feed the hungry. Cloth the naked. Look after widows and the poor.
God doesn't even FORCE Himself on us - He leave the choice up to US to choose to follow Him or not.
Does that sound "far-far right" to you?? LOL!
2 - I'm a huge fan of D&D - I'm a professional musician - I've been around lots who smoke weed. I can tell you that I can definitely see how in each of those areas, those areas CAN be a very slippery slope. They CAN be used as gateways for the Devil.
The claim that those things are of the Devil flat out, is false. But like anything - they CAN be used by the Devil - and I certainly see how.
Consider Roleplaying someone demonic in D&D - murdering kids for sacrifices that somehow empower your character... I get it that to say that may be a gateway to Satan, for some, sounds ridiculous. But for others, it is the truth. Have you SEEN the new Diablo 4 trailers? LOL. They literally have BAAL in there. You're on a Forum here that believes in things like Predictive Programming and Child Sacrifices - and you IGNORE BAAL showing up in Pop Culture?
Consider all of the forms of music out there - consider the emotional/spiritual realm is a large part of both Performing and Creating music - for lots of artists. When you're in that realm, you are in a space that can lead you off God's path of reality and into some other area of "truth" - which is OF the Devil. Also worth noting - Lucifer was the MUSICIAN of Heaven. Think about that one next time your diminish the power of music, lol...
Weed - ever heard of the sin of Sloth? I'm not saying everyone who smokes goes down that path - but I'd say you're lying if you claimed No One did.
I'm not trying to attack you. If that's how you feel - understand that I love you and that is not my intent.
The world is a spiritual battleground. It is through the lens of the Bible that you will start to see it.
Ephesians 6:12
"For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places."
Kinda curious to hear when you think was the last time Christian fundamentalists oppressed people.

Dungeons and Dragons is of the devil.
This music is of the devil.
Marijuana is of the devil.
The world is more complex than that. I find those who paint the world with a paint roller are simplistic and uninteresting.
I wouldn’t want to be ruled by the far far right, just as much as far far left.
