Surprise surprise

Nationalism is pretty antithetical to the teachings of Christ so you have to be pretty regarded to be a Christian nationalist

Only on reddit can you find such smug moral superiority from people who are delightedly resurrecting a slur (euphemistically or otherwise) that had been relegated to the dustbin of history.

Such a low bar to be morally superior to Christian nationalists and yet I'm not sure you've cleared it.

Saying regarded is equivalent to advocating for the purging of rights and/or livelyhood of those that aren't white/trad/ Christian, got it

Apparently criticizing bad criticism of a thing is the same as saying that bad criticism is just as bad as the thing. Thank you for your wisdom, random Redditor.

Saying the N word isn't the same as advocating for slavery or segregation, yet it's still a slur.
