its like when kids where told to get under their desks if a NUCLEAR BOMB went of near by, i think its just there to say they are doing something.

this has nothing to do with protecting working people, right wing infighting is not my problem. its curious how defensive u are of religion in this context like if nazis and libertarians fight u would bat an eye but when these 2 particular right wing ideologies fight its a huge deal for u, maybe u have some stuff to think about.

My misplaced violence? i have never attacked anyone nor do i want to, im just very justifiably afraid of the violence of religion, it has never been atheists that been behind religious related violence it has always been religion and its followers.

if they care about burning a holy book they are reactionary. if it was about race or immigration status i would care but people fighting over religion is not my problem.

and yeah thats quite charitable because it can just as easily be interpreted as defending religion from even being able to be criticized under the guise of preventing right wing infighting.

hatred isnt some random quirk of some religious institutions it is literally written into most holy books. there is nothing about soda that makes it inherently lead to death squads but the bible states quite clearly the supposed virtues of slavery and murdering infidels and the oppression of women and plenty more, most other religions dont fair any better under any examination. if u wanna talk about a magical fantasy world where religion is devoid of the horrible institutions that have upheld it and been upheld by it for thousands of years go ahead but it has nothing to do with the actual reality of religion as it has always does and seemingly will continue to exits so leave me out of those fantasies.

And yeah i will certainly argue that when right wingers fight we should stay out of it im certainly not going to argue for defending neither side in an argument where both sides worship a god that want me fucking dead for being a non believer cuz if someone looks at that fucked up shit and say yeah thats my stuff, thats where my morality comes from, that what i want to follow it can only mean that they agree.

And to be clear some of the problems with religion like the abuse of children (in the form of indoctrination specifically) goes all the way down and it carried out by just about every member of these cults and have little to with the institutions.

using that quote to defend religion is like defending the state by quoting the "Paris Commune" if that supports any view its mine.

it is not the dominating factor in most capitalists societies right now and its terrible enough as is.

u posted a meme to a meme community if it wasnt a joke then what was it are u lost or something. or are u trying to back peddle cuz u got called out on a shitty thing u did. are u seriously saying u just randomly decided to draw someone we all hate as a negative stereotype just by chance and not because u were trying to make fun of them because u think less of people who look like that, like come on man atleast own up to what u are doing. and again it has nothing to do with the particular asshole u are trying to depict and everything to do with what u think that depiction means.

i was just pointing out that u have made the same "joke" more than once since u stated so confidently that u hadn't. it had nothing to do with my point that ur "joke" is shit and tasteless. The problem isnt that u only direct ur "joke" to this asshole rather that u think what u did is a joke and is appropriate.

i feel its not really about whether his behavior indicates that maybe he looks like that but rather the implication that u think its funny, like ur joke is "the gays, am i right" but with fat/visually impaired people just kinda tasteless.

why should we care when reactionaries fight each other.

 

I finish reading "The Destruction of Black Civilization" by Chancellor Williams recently and I found it to very good but its 50 years old now and the author constantly makes reference to areas of history that he believed still need more research so Im curious if that research has been done and if there are any similar but more recent books about the history of Africa before colonization and that has a non European perspective when talking about colonization.
