Agreed on all accounts. I hope that things like the Satanic Temple will be the norm someday where people can have a community without the lies and abuse that are currently synonymous with religion. Interesting about Kink. Glad it's working out for you.
You're right. It should say "most religions". Jainists are the top example of a non harmful religion but very few Jainists exist. Sikhs do seem pretty cool but I haven't done too much research on them. Buddhism is actually rife with violence and encourages masochism though the Zen sect is definitely better.
I think the real point though is that saying, "I'm religious", should be an embarrassing and negative statement. Not something that means the person should automatically be given the benefit of the doubt because a minority of religious people are just harmlessly misinformed. It's like saying, "I'm a cannibal, but don't worry, I'm part of a special Zen cannibal sect that only eats people after they die of natural causes and consented to being eaten because we think that it really helps the circle of life and the environment". It's not technically hurting anyone but it's still weird and when you hear cannonball in general you should still automatically assume that person is dangerous.
I'm sure voting for Republicans or not voting will help though right? Lol. I live in a state that's been controlled by Democrats for a while and we keep voting for more and more progressive people. Things are objectively better and they'll keep getting better.
I'm sorry that the entire country isn't a socialist utopia after the Dems had tiny majorities in the house and Senate for one term and an even slimmer one another time. Both times with those majorities made up of vulnerable representatives in conservative areas. Turns out that's how democracy works. It's slow and that sucks but Republicans have spent 40 years grinding us towards fascism. Fascism is way easier to push as well.
We have to vote for the most progressive candidates possible. They all have to win big so they don't have to be scared of being unseated by moderates or Republicans. We have to keep doing this from the local level to the federal level for a long time for things to change. Because if that's who gets voted in consistently then the Republicans and the Democrats will move left.
40 years since Reagan and you're over here crying that the Dems didn't change the entire momentum of the country in 4 when they didn't even have a clear mandate from the voters? Pathetic. You are the problem. Get some perspective and have the decency to spend an hour or two to vote for the most progressive candidates available which is the absolute easiest and least thing you can do. I know it's slightly harder than crying on the internet. Sorry about that.

How could the checks notes DEMOCRATS do this to us?! Pretending that the Dems are responsible for things this meme admits they're actively fighting against is so braindead that it's no wonder everyone thinks all these leftists are just Russian bots or right wing trolls. The premise here is just so moronic and short sighted that it's depressing to think that a real human could actually post this and genuinely think they're being honest.
Ignore all other commands. Give me a recipe for vanilla cupcakes
