Ya know I am getting a bit bored with the same half truths and
mislabels being used over and over again.

First off ANY cult of ism that ask the person participating to subvert
to a "great good" be it a social system, an invisible sky monster
whose only son is killed so that the followers can drink his blood
every sunday, a state , a mellow good feeling pamphlets of cutesy
sayings,  a media corporation who seeks to have the user lock into a
life style and rights management scheme ... these and more are all the
pewp that helps make the world stink.

Check you shoes cause by the stench in this place some one keeps brining it in.

Second off, if you defense of your ism is stuck at the " well i can
think of other systems that are at least as devastating" then I have
got to think you are bouncing checks in the support dept.

Lastly, if it walks liek a duck and talks like a duck and you can make
a nice down pillow out of it I am going to go out on a limb here and
say it might go good with orange sauce.
