    Eastern Europe is going though it right now. One of my old Polish colleagues fled to the UK becuase the Church is slowly taking over and becoming totalitarian. Even if you have a miscarriage you’d be investigated to see if “it was done on purpose” or not.

    (From what I remember, this was just at the tail end of covid)

      Interesting.

      Putin’s rule over Russia is vastly different from Soviet Russia for many reasons but a big one is his friendship with the Eastern Orthodox Church.

      That plus the Republican tie to the church is so strange.

      I really wouldn’t be surprised if in the future they consider Christianity an organized crime syndicate of some sort. Overthrowing governments, definitely tied to human trafficking and I imagine they have hands in other shit too.

      Fuck the church man, fuck all organized religions
