      I feel like “wearing military outfits during church services and calling their ministers by military ranks” and “discouraging members from marrying people who aren’t also in the Salvation Army” both push it really close to cult territory.

    Anyone know where their head office is? Tells you everything you need to know about this staunchly christian organisation.

          I agree with you, but I don’t agree with the way you are presenting the point, and it could be a miscommunication, so I’ll explain:

          Historically, ‘All Lives Matter’ was used to diminish the BLM movement. It is used as a response when it should be the premise. All Lives Matter, therefore Black Lives Matter, not the other way around.

          I think the comment replying to you was using the All Lives Matter metaphor to say that your comment about it being a human being that was killed is deliberately ignoring the struggles for trans people. But the way they phrased it was very subtle.

          But it removes the point. They let her die BECAUSE she was trans. Not because she was a person.

          I mean, why stop there? " Group of humans kills mammal"

            A corporation still let a human being die, it make 0 difference what your personal beleifs are, a person was denied shelter/help.

            We as a species need to stop self segregating. White, black, or yellow, male/female, doesnt matter, we are all human.

          Not all lives matter. Brian Thompson’s life didn’t matter. Neonazi lives don’t matter. If you dedicate yourself to ruining other peoples’ lives over greed or malice or shit like that: your life doesn’t matter.
