I can't for the life of me find it but I remember a travel show where the host went to a pop concert in asia at like 7 am filled with people headed to work/school. I want to say it was "an idiot abroad" or "somebody feed phil" but I can't find anything for either.
I worked with Arabs at a gyro cafe off and on for 5ish years. Jordanian, Iraqi, Saudi, Kuwaiti, Egyptian, some religious, some meh, one atheist. I have heard some wild shit. I've seen some garbage imams and heard their worthless ideas. These people exist just like crazy evangelical Christians. The only thing that makes me raise an eyebrow is the volume of garbage I read. It doesn't reflect the ratio of normal to crazy that I encountered between my co-workers, their families, and friends I would meet. It makes me wonder how much troll farms play a role. Russia has something to gain from making the world hate Muslims. Israel has something to gain from the world hating Muslims. Both are really good at propaganda. Some of this stuff deserves a hard side eye squint because there is no doubt there are bad actors involved trying to sway the public.
...... There was a whole thread here that got deleted where someone else was saying the exact same thing you are saying and I defended myself. If you re-read my comment, don't add tone, don't insinuate, de-prime yourself, it's just me asking a question and adding context to the timeline. I don't remember her ever being this big a part of the political conversation until after the "register to vote" thing. None of the old men at my work ever talked about her politically until after that. Yes these memes are about the current situation. My comment isn't denying that. All it's doing is asking a question about when she was on the political radar and pointing out when and how I noticed. Now I'm somehow a swifty defending her jet use because I recalled events? What in the world is going on in your life that causes you types to react like this and take it so personally? Is it because I used the R word and didn't immediately follow it up with a D? Go outside!
So the people I work with who never talked about her until after the whole register to vote thing actually started talking about her because of this recent lawsuit? Is my timeline off? All I was adding to the conversation is that was the START of the scrutiny, not the cause of these memes.
Didn't she get put under the super microscope after she told her followers to register to vote? That got the Fox news tribe to do their double standard selective outrage thing and now all of a sudden republicans care about fossil fuels and emissions.
I deal with PTSD vets every day so I understand the snap buuuuut.... No one else gets to get away with a slap on the wrist because of their mental illness so fuckem
That's just Christianity and it's a product of the conflict between the Old and New testament. It's by design. That's what the whole council of nicea did. The chose what was and wasn't in the Bible and those influential people chose what worked for them. Why would they choose the letters of a pharisee who went into the desert with his followers, saw big J "after falling off a horse/camel", and the only evidence is the word of those followers? Jesus freaking hated the Pharisee. They chose those letters because they work for them. Now we have this guide book that people can look to to justify being awesome to everyone and killing children for making fun of a bald man. The whole turn the other cheek thing is suspicious too. Sounds like something an institution that takes advantage of people would want so they can get away with screwing you over. Yah know. You HAVE to forgive them.
Get a room you two
