WARNER ROBINS, Ga. — A Warner Robins teacher is accused of threatening to behead a student after she made a comment about his Israeli flag, according to the Houston County Sheriff’s Office.
Religious nationalist is not a synonym for fascist. We need to stop diluting the meaning of the word fascist.
Religious nationalist
“Religious nationalist” is an oxymoron - especially when it comes to Abrahamic religions. Saluting a piece of colored fabric and treating it with any kind of reverential significance literally breaks the very first commandment.
They are neither religious - they literally act in direct contravention of the teachings they (supposedly) “follow” - nor nationalist - they literally (and overtly) place the interests of a small wealthy elite above the interests of the people in the nation.
No, Clyde - they are fascists.
Nations aren’t considered gods, and flags aren’t idols of those non-gods. You don’t sacrifice goats to the flag, or burn incense for it.
Judaism has historically looked at Christian beliefs and practices with way, way more suspicion of polytheism and idolatry than it’s ever looked at national flags.
The teacher here is unhinged, but you clearly don’t really know very much about the ten commandments, especially from a Jewish context.
Nations aren’t considered gods
Oh really? Children aren’t brainwashed into worshipping the classical liberal nation-states they are born into with religious-like reverance?
Really?
You don’t sacrifice goats to the flag,
No, we sacrifice people to them. Do tell, Clyde - how many USians have sacrificed themselves to “defend America” in the past couple of decades?
Judaism has historically looked at Christian beliefs
Oh, I see Jewish people everywhere being very suspicious of your precious nationalist religion… and it’s not a new thing, either.
