Lemmy is literally one giant amydala…

Maybe they should do more research into what to do about it, since they know that it’s going to be a bigger issue.

Climate change is turning into a scapegoat for everything. We’ve been talking about it for my whole life now, so how are people still using it as an excuse?

Yes, please screw the entire world economy and use it to fund global jihad. As long as it embarrasses Donald Trump then it’s worth it.

That makes more sense

I was curious why they didn’t mention Israel or Lebanon and so I read the article and concluded that it’s because it’s not about Israel or Lebanon.

Blows my mind that people cheer on Iran. Is it just a simple, anti trump, anti Israel reaction?

Uhh, seems like it’s way more “fashionable” for Europeans to bash the US if anything.

Well in the context of the original story, who is the Nazis? Is it the Chinese government putting peaceful Christians in jail? Or is it the Christians themselves who present a danger to society, thereby justifying their incarceration/disappearance. Seems like the answer should be obvious, and yet people don’t agree.

Nah that’s just a way to justify being intolerant while acting like you value tolerance.

Yeah? Did they throw you in jail for your beliefs? Or try to kill you? There’s a difference between expressing an ignorant or bigoted opinion, compared to infringing on someone’s human rights.

At this point the paradox of intolerance is used to justify intolerance more than it’s used to prevent intolerance.

While I don’t disagree with you, that isn’t at all what he said.

I got a feeling it’s just a particular religion. The level of moral and mental integrity in this thread is abysmal…

Lol that’s your takeaway? If you are against oppression except when it’s against people you don’t like, then you support oppression.

Sweden has some of the best policies for having kids: doesn’t cost anything, a year of maternity AND paternity leave for each kid you have, plus they straight up give you money. Birth rate is 1.45.

We don’t have a political party who stands for that, even though the majority of normal people want it, on both sides of the aisle.

In Minnesota they had a Somalian candidate for mayor who lost because of tribalism within the Somali community. Somalians from different tribes would not vote for him. So then some of the Somali leaders came together and said we are all Somali and should be voting together or we will not take power from the white people. More tribalism.

Did you read the article? It’s not quite that simple.

That only applies if you are the objective truth. If you are wrong, then it’s just another tool for bigotry, an excuse to ignore other opinions.
