It really wasn't. It was by definition conservative by them trying to enforce their own conservative beliefs onto them. It was not education, it was explicit attempt to end a culture. Why you and rommel are so keen to go handwaive away the admitted behavior is silly. You really don't need to "well ackshuwally" that history had a LOT of shitty behavior, we're quite aware of that. But your "no big deal, there was worse shit happening" is straight bullshit. Kinda like, "well these aren't mass graves" because well it wasn't all at once so it doesn't count. Despite that just being how many they've uncovered so far at an individual school, while they're searching and finding more. And the behavior has continued (see the missing and murdered indigenous persons, including shit like "starlight tours" that you cannot just go "well that's history" like its behavior from eons ago).
The "mass graves" argument is the same as right wingers bitching about the term concentration camps and people going "well every country did bad stuff and had concentration camps" like people are idiots. We know, and every fucking instance of it should raise ire from people.
I don't think its just that. They are concerned that their money and power will dry up. Frankly they should be concerned about being thrown in jail and having their cult broken up. But of course that won't happen. Despite nearly constant exposure of rampant corruption by it, they're still granted ridiculous leniency and even protection.
Ok, why is it so hard to just say that instead of handwaive away that its anything to be concerned about? Yes history is full of horrible fucked up shit, we don't need you to remind us. Its the same as right wingers trying to get people to accept that the slave owners also lost their humanity, and fundamentally shifts the issue. Plus, this behavior didn't fucking end despite a couple of you in this thread acting like its not a big deal because "historic context", except it is still a problem today even if its not quite as outright openly genocidal as it once was. Just like racism is still a fucking problem despite us having fought the Civil War, and then the Civil Rights Movement. That's why its important to make a BIG fuss about this shit.
