They have a poor track record generally, and in the global north they're very splitty hedgy rather than ultra critical. I personally think of global movements like the old oxygen masks on an airplane example, if you don't get your own on its hard to help the person next to you. Two this is online and very vibes based.
Thought I saw a few posts in the news megathreads a few days ago.
Another good example of historical rebellion and religious figures would be the slave uprising and liberation of Haiti. Look up Dutty Boukman, he was one of the leaders, and also a houngan.
'Magic' or whatever you want to call it is part of the social reality we live in and isn't something we can simply wipe away overnight along with religion and mythology. People experience things they can't understand for a variety of very explainable reasons and ones yet to be discovered, so and its basically harkening back to the ancients to blame the unexplicable on magic and the likes, but they experienced something, its gaslighting and immature to simply overlook this and alienates what would be some potential allies, including large parts of the proto-proletariat. Old school magic is the affair of the most desperate and cast off portions of society and serves a strong social function to give these people some power, it itsn't the ritual of itself in isolation, but the symbolism and what it draws from when seen by society at large.
Religion is an an ancient catch all and we are not yet at the most advanced economic age to simply knock people out of religion the incomplete and illusory hope-bringer, you show people out slowly, but at the same time there is shit we don't know and its very mechanical to assume we know all and socially blind to ignore its power, like fighting with one arm behind your back ignoring a good third of all human symbolism and its power on the psyche since we are far from the day when all are immune to the power of words, symbols, and suggestion. 
Back in the day, and probably today too everyone's alphabet agencies studied weird shit to hope to gain an edge on everyone else, that included former and current AES, and imagine if you could during WW2 everyone involved even had professional astrologers. Yes, even the USSR had their own professional astrologers.
The trick is, in true dialectic fashion not to go too far into the metaphysics, to steal its kernel of truth/play the game to hose your enemies and then run away really fast before it caves in on you, as it will on the bourgeois dictatorship in the west with magical thinking the default to the point they now buy the simulacrum full sale. You don't want to go the other way neither, that just alienates you from the very people that direly need the most assistance getting away from the metaphs in a very ultra move denying their lived experiences as they understand it.
absolutely would be more tolerant of gsm in general would not be ideal world though right now we'd still be in a backsliding stage so to say globally
The most insufferable trust fund yuppies read Live, Love, Laugh and turn it into their religion
Yes and they point out the said family member so the state can execute them.
Pretty sure libs killed their share of family not so directly due to propaganda, good example would be the whole dehumanization of users of intoxicants and willing snitching on family, while chuds tend to be more direct in their killings due to propaganda and conspiracy. The whole foxes v wolves but assuming foxes aren't too bad because of those itty bitty teeth.
The other common one and my last company did this shit to me was they give you a week long vacation along with some other workers for no reason and they keep extending it, then bam fired.
Yes a boogie man thing, agencies of various kinds from governments to business may hire people to look a part for a while in order to get something from the competition, but generally all parties are in the know, they may not know 100pct of everything but everyone knows why they are there, or there's 
to look out for, and what everyone wants or think the others want, there's no sleeping nor mystery phrases, just more notable action.
If you're job hunting right now this won't be any surprise
