q people's jfk jr thing is kind of like rastafari's haile selasse thing except that he's not alive to be befuddled by it, which is honestly kind of disappointing
Huh, that’s a parallel I wouldn’t have thought of.
one last thing i’d like to add! i originally said that Amharic is also considered to be a holy language for rastafarians. please disregard that point, as I have since learned that many rastafarians romanticize a man (Haile Selassie) who maintained a policy of genocide against the Oromo people of Ethiopia. i deeply apologize for my ignorance and for contributing to that romanticization
this just in: rastafarianism has been cancelled
You know what kind of person rejects the sovereignty of Haile Selassie? Fascists.
