An awkward position? My brother in Christ, what is awkward about denouncing genocide?
Unfortunately, the answer is money.
Please reconsider the brother in christ phrase.
It's problematic, because even if you don't mean anything by it, it still normalizes and perpetuates christianity at a time when christian nationalism and Dominionism are on the rise and have taken over the US government. It also assumes the person you are talking to is also christian. Third, it reinforces patriarchy by assuming the person you are talking to is male.
I have no idea how it caught on and become popular, but I'm hoping that with a little self-reflection, we can all move away from it.
As an atheist who's gone through deconstruction, I hear your point. But I see it more as taking the piss out of the phrase, but sure, what exclamatory would you rather I use?
"My sibling in spaghetti"?
My fellow nood in the sauce
Ramen!
Yup, I'll just take that and casually use it.
As a pastafarian this offends me
I'm not the person you responded to, but yeah sibling in spaghetti is much better. Bonus points for gender neutral.
YES. Yes that's the replacement phrase.
An awkward position? Tabernak! what is awkward about denouncing genocide
Still Christian but less immediately known.
As an atheist I can only say: Jesus christ, what a comment. Leave our memes alone, for God's sake! Tabarnac!
At the start, when Kraft and the other owners kicked Macklemore off the tour. Sheeran may have been deciding what to do, back Macklemore or continue with the concert for anyone that had booked high school off the next day etc.
But at this stage it seems that Sheeran has done everything wrong. He didn't back Macklemore early on, but now every other act on the tour, including his band, did. More importantly, he was given a massive chance to condone genocide and stayed silent.
Imagine the amount of respect Sheeran could have garnered by announcing that the tour was cancelled.
