  • The Luddites were an early form of direct action of working people against the ownership class. They were also an early example of workers rights movement being crushed by State violence.

  • It’s a myth that circumcision is a Christian practice. Early Christians debated keeping the covenant, but since they were a proselytizing faith, cutting on your dick is a hard sell and they decided it wasn’t necessary.

    The actual origin is 19th Century lunatics who thought masturbation caused disease. These were more health nuts than arch conservatives. Most were vegan, and some even feminist. But they promoted circumcision among boys and girls to prevent masturbation. This is why the practice is American but not European.
