Here’s the thing, if a homeless person puts their religion ahead of their own survival, that’s a choice. No one is forcing them to not eat it.

That's not the thing at all.

Were they actively asking the religion of the person they were giving it to?
-
No, don't need to. I'm not a fan of religion and silly food restrictions. It's not the point here tho.

Though, The Salvation Army would always slip chapter and verse in with their 'kindness'.
-
I don't know why that's 'though.'
-
Their charity was (to varying degrees at various times) conditional... certainly in the earlier period, beneficiaries would normally have been required to attend a service and / or work. So, depending on your degree of objection to hocus-pocus, that's why it gets a 'though'.

... because I find that kind of conditionality more objectionable.

What would your view be on a religious charity feeding stunned meat to vegetarian homeless?

1) I find the Generation Identity imagery fascinating. They laud the ideals of the elitist Spartan warriors, who lost at Thermopylae, and look down on the ideals of the "democratic" Athenian rowers, who won at Artemisium. Yes, I know both were slaveholding societies.

2) However, their ideals differed greatly, and I find any group who knowingly celebrate the Spartan ethos unconditionally, as these guys seem to do, deeply worrying. Also, anyone who knows anything about the Spartans, should know about the Krypteia, their terror squads, that

3) kept the uppity slaves in line. All of this is before you get to how the Spartan training worked, which involved systematic pederasty according to Plutarch. So next time you meet one, ask them why, when they complain about terror and grooming gangs they use the Spartan symbol.

@AubreyHolloman @GenIdenLondon As my granddad said, beggars can’t be choosers. If I were hungry in Vietnam, I’d eat dog meat. - 1 more reply

Ah, these guys are popping up in Hungary, too. Not very fond of their presence. Fortunately all they do yet is sticker up the lamp post. And theyre heavily beaten in this game every time by MKKP (joke party).
