I really hope you’re right. I’m actually very scared that they’ll take over our social media this election season and we’ll get fucked as well.

Does it? My partner has learned some very strange words I have never heard used in mexico. But I guess the rest of Latin America also uses different dialects.

I think Western society/individualism has erased a lot of this but for centuries before colonialism and still in a lot of indigenous and non-western societies, it’s expected to respect your elders and take care of them. In turn, they should be aiming to build that respect for themselves and to be a good ancestor for those preceding them. You see this all across indigenous belief systems - your society/nature will take care of you just as you took care of it.

The reason nobody did shit for us is because those beliefs have been overridden by colonialism and individualistic mindsets. Humans aren’t meant to be as selfish as we’ve become, that’s why we’re so unhappy.

Outside of Western religions there are plenty of other cool non-male deities. There’s lots of pagan goddesses.

The only “feminine” or female deity that is maybe as well known as “God” would be like nature as it is often referred to as “mother” nature and in she/her. Though I’m not sure pantheists or other religions would refer to her strictly as a goddess.

Western religions talk about a male god because western societies are patriarchal; they need it to support a male-dominated societal structure.

I’m using Firefox with ublock and can see it

Ok but only because of that prozzac song lol

I scrolled away and had to come back because I just kept repeating the sentence in my head. If Apple Jacks gets $19B in profit I better join the cereal industry.
