I'm eager to believe you're right. Which of your favourite unions has an immutable tenet to be pro-immigration?

Even a cursory glance at contemporary tech movements show that they are largely culturally progressive in nature. Anything from the TWC reveals that they fit in with the general leftist Bay Area political milieu:

If you think any of these groups are going to produce something that can be turned into a nativist movement, then you don't seem to have a clear idea about the state of modern politics.

Well, I think you'll find from my previous arguments that immutability of the tenet is crucial. If it is an essential part of the belief system, only good can come from stating it to be so.

The hesitance indicates to me a desire to tack into shifting winds: useful, perhaps, to you who only has goals accidentally coincident to mine, but deleterious to me. But that's overly judgmental, perhaps you simply haven't had the time.

The schism is fixable. I will wait, acting only to preserve the trenches as they are. But until then it remains a schism.

Perhaps they did not need to state that tenet because it is obviously self-evident.
Certainly no priest starts a sermon to his flock with "Since God exists". But this is not a church. I'm not a parishioner. And your creed have aimed to harm me in the past. It will take more.
Perhaps an imperfect allusion, given that most Abrahamic religious services involve recitation of prayers and affirmations that restate basic principles about the identity and nature of God.

When has a modern day labor union operating in the tech industry harmed you in the past?

Haha, quite so, quite so. Having been raised an atheist, my memories of my Catholic School recitations are imperfect but you are clearly correct.

The modern day / ancient day distinction is akin to the difference between the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and The Kingdom of God: it is obvious to adherents and invisible to those without.

Creating distinctions temporally does me no benefit. What has been can be once again. What was done to my great-grandparents can be done to me. The entities that did these things can revert to their atavistic forms. Except, except, except if they fix their forms forward. Something I will gladly accept.
