A sign of the times

Monsters, men and magic: why feminists turned to witchcraft to oppose Trump

Apparently its been going on since 2017.

Each month, thousands of witches cast a spell against Donald Trump

Here at RF we respect everyone's beliefs. So there will be no "no such thing as magic" talk. That being said should we begin literal witch hunts and arrest them for assault? Technically it falls under the definition.

Assault

In law

an act, criminal or tortious, that threatens physical harm to a person, whether or not actual harm is done.

Hexes, jinx, and curses intend to cause harm after all.










*P.S.* Truly is a sign of the mad times we live in.

The article does not say that the rituals are intended to cause physical harm, but only to take back power (?) from the target of the rituals.
If that is cause for a criminal indictment. then so are many Christian prayers.

--which also totally misrepresented what was reported in the posted links.

I wonder how many people's minds were overcome by hatred or whatnot to the point of believing the OP's claims about the content of the provided links without checking the content themselves?

Let's take a look shall we? Post #2, #14, and #18.

So 3 post with an emotional response of "but teh Christian prayers were harmful" basically. I find it funny because no Christian's/Trump supporters dog piled on supporting the arrest of wiccans. But we have several non-Christians jumping in real quick with knee jerk reactions and immediately wanting to lock up Christian's for prayers.

Overall I think most folks here handled the topic well. It is just a lighthearted discussion of politics after all.

Nobody wants to lock up Christians for their prayers. We were just calling out the hypocrisy in your OP.

There should be a rule in RF that any quote from The Guardian shall be posted in the Humor section only.

I find it quite revealing how you call slander "lighthearted." IMO, you'd fit in well with those who participate in gang rape "because it's fun."

Plot twist: I'm the feminist The Guardian speaks of. But they got it wrong. I was actually trying to cast a spell at Twitter and missed.

Lighten up old timer!



Yeah it's fairly apparent. I mean you did take the conversation from witches and politics straight to accusations of rape apologist. Classy move bro.
Nah, I was pointing out the similarity of the tactics employed this thread ("lighthearted" slander, harassement, and minimalization) and the fact that they are the same ones employed by rape apologists. Human nature can be ugly, and sweeping the ugly stuff under the carpet just makes the poisons spawn more.
