      Rastafarians aren’t just hippies with good weed, good music and a spiritual worldview. The religion also includes a lot of misogyny and homophobia (which appears to have come from the Old Testament as translated through British Victorian-era Christianity). That’s assuming one looks at the actual Afro-Caribbean syncretic religion, rather than “rastafarianism” as it’s given by clueless white dudes who like to get high but want to feel spiritual about it.

        An Abrahamic religion based around worshipping a hereditary monarch is problematic? Colour me amazed.
