  • honestly, I have mixed vibes about the whole thing.
    in a way I feel like it would be more transgressive for the character if Jodi was shipped with a man, as The Doctor has really only shown interest in woman before.
    at the same time there is something kind of biologically essentialist about that maybe, and there is an argument that The Doctor being into woman as a man versus as a lesbian would be "new".
    although I don't think they would ever dive too deep into any of this.













  • I don't think there is anything we particularly can do, besides not using leftist spaces to evangelize or something.
    Religious affiliation or lack thereof shouldn't really matter when organizing your community, so I dunno what should be done to be a "better" comrade then just being one.

    Reforming entire religious institutions after achieving world-wide socialism is something beyond my paygrade tbh.
    It would probably be a good thing to think about, but I feel like speculating about stuff like that on such a grand scale is getting a bit ahead of ourselves.
    I would definitely look into places like Nicaragua under the Sandinistas to see how the people and the clergy reacted and interacted in a revolutionary environment and maybe you can take something from that.

    I've kind of gotten less and less comfortable with the label "Christian Socialist" tbh.
    The label "Christian X Ideology" is kind of oxymoronic to me.
    There is no denying that I would be labeled this way due to alot of my political opinions and using a Marxist lens to view capitalism and history, and I cannot deny I also identify with the label in who I chose to associate with.
    Still...I sometimes get the feeling this leads to an emphasizing of a socialist identity over a Christian one.
    People that would have you believe all Jesus is talking about in the Gospels is really just communism.
    They let their socialism inform their christianity instead of their christianity inform their socialism...if that makes sense?

    The only thing I could really see someone doing is getting others to challenge their formative societal beliefs about the current economic system.
    God is not okay with Capitalism.
    Besides that, idk.
