A few churches were torched around Canada in 2021, after a mass grave of indigenous children (containing the remains of over 250 children) was found underneath a residential school run by the Canadian government in the mid-1900’s. Following the news, conservatives were quick to identify themselves as the number one victims of hate in Canada today
everybody i talked to was not condoning the arson but there was a pervasive “yeah i get it”, i think because the idea of priests doing priest things has been in the zeitgeist for a couple decades following the boston shit.
Somehow I feel like a group of American Patriots burning down a church in the US wouldn’t be seen the same way on reddit.

Didn’t the Catholic church run a lot of those schools?
Protestants and Catholics are all under the Christian umbrella, if it means Protestants can come up with excuses to whine about stuff.
Yeah I just meant why churches were targeted in that case, instead of some government building or something

holy smoke
this was unironically my dad’s kneejerk response when he heard that notre dame went up in flames
I’ll do you one better: Imagine reddits reaction to Palestinians burning down a synagogue in an Israeli settlement.
