minus-squareTokenBoomer@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down2·1 year agoI’m an atheist, so I don’t disagree with you. I abhor organized religion. But we need everyone who is anti-fascist to help. If we don’t work with them, despite differences, in the short term, we all lose in the long term.

Then we are doomed.
