Kind of telling on themselves here, right? If "everyone is welcome" is an "ideology", kinda indicates the person labeling as such is against it. I say this because the societal norms on paper for every major philosophy or ideology would be in favor of that idea, and if it strikes you as staking a claim to something new, it probably took some mental effort to get to that conclusion. Would "be kind" be ideology? Technically yes I guess it is, but I doubt these people would be pissed about it and call it out like this. Are they asking for those cat posters saying "hang in there" to be taken down? That's preaching the "ideology" of persistence.

They just called out "everyone is welcome here" and you think they WOULDN'T take issue with "be kind"?

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I think that one they wouldn't admit to because it pre-dates the reading of anything about equality as referring to their out-groups.

They don't want 'everyone' ... they just want 'white christian people of european descent'

When you are a brown person, the messaging from these asshats is always the same racist bullshit we've heard for hundreds of years

I'm talking about what they preach, not what they practice.

The Italians, and to a lesser extent the Irish, are mostly Catholic, which doesn't really count a Christian, and therefore they don't actually count as white.
