Fuck me, he said the quiet bit out loud.

Yes, of course its ruddy Brexit. The sunny uplands of unbridled opportunity just won’t materialise, however many pompous abracadabra’s BJ, NF, JRM and their mates cast.

the "reasons" are not always religious. Gatekeepers historically AND CURRENTLY work really hard to keep various Others from having equal access to certain information because they are naturally inferior????

Or because certain ideas /information might cause them to behave or think in "unnatural" ways?

I mean this is seriously 8 year old bratty child level thinking.

yet these incredibly weak arguments have caused huge amounts of harms for centuries as various -idiots- from whatever "group a" is at hand will use violence to enforce these "laws of nature" or whatever they call them.

This is what any supremacy based ideology is made of: utterly childlike beliefs.

One of the things that is so striking about beliefs used to oppress people is how incredibly stupid they really are.

once you are free of them, their illogic is lpainfully ludicrous.

For example,
Some invisible "creator" that only people from "group a" can talk with conveniently decrees that "group a" is meant to rule and "group b" is meant to do the grunt work.

...sounds like something a child would make up, doesn't it?

Beliefs used to support oppression are ALL that stupid.
