    What a nice comment up until that last part. Part of what allowed Europe to go from a shithole into what it is now (with all the bumps along the road of course) was telling Christians to go fuck themselves. Making 50% of the population suffer to please a religious minority is never a good deal.

      Oh, it was the “telling Christians to go fuck themselves” was it? Not the centuries of brutal imperialistic extraction, or did you mean the past century where they had a hiccup before continuing their brutal imperialistic extraction?

      I don’t suffer remotely from seeing peoples’ religions, and I definitely do not benefit from letting the fucking genocidal Canadian state dictate what is and is not an appropriate religious symbol. Secularism isn’t areligious in a culturally Christian state like Canada, it’s just a rearticulation of settler-colonial notions of “objectivity” that conveniently privileges preexisting hegemonic values. Europeans worship capital the same way Canadians do.
