That has literally nothing to do with what I'm talking about. I'm responding to the common idea that religion is somehow a significant motivator for Zionist atrocities, not commenting on the impact of religion in general. Then I explained why I thought that was the (or at least a) point made in the parent comment.

Okay I don't like talking like this, but what part of "to a much lesser extent" do you not understand?

Which is why I said "to a much lesser extent." Mass shootings are on the rise in multiple European countries, as are homicides and hate crimes. I mean hell, France is looking to restrict knives over this stuff. Having a non-broken society contributes a lot more than what murder weapons are available, and now that European societies are generally fraying at the seams murder rates are unsurprisingly rising.

Your comments were unprompted

Huh? I am literally responding to a point made in the parent comment. What the fuck are you even talking about?

I mean we're seeing this in Europe with mass shootins and such, though to a much lesser extent than America.

"Vote blue no matter who" was blatant hypocrisy, how fucking surprising.

I mean it's not an outright fascist policy, but it is a fascist-enabling policy, so I'd say the characterization tracks. When public services are cut, poor and vulnerable people become even poorer and more vulnerable, so when a fascist blames liberals and minorities for all their problems and promises to fix those problems, they listen. Economic uncertainty is the bedrock on which fascism is built.

I mean, pushing with the neoliberals only puts Britain on the same path as America, and we've seen how that worked out.

I said "unprompted" for a reason.

Why do we think the comment was about Israeli religion?

Because this is a point Lemmy atheists like to make, and because most people wouldn't describe imprisonment as "destructive" unprompted so it's clear they were referring to Israel.

I see another Lemmy atheist not realizing Zionism is an aggressively atheist ideology built on enlightenment ideas of nationality at the explicit ezpense of Judaism. What religion did Ben Gurion believe in again?

You've probably heard this a million times, but why not learn a trade?

I guess there is a secondhand market for everything.

Rapists and criminals amirite?

("Want to hang out tonight after school?" - 授業後今晩遊ぼう？

Minor nitpick: 今晩 is a pretty formal term; 今夜 is used instead in everyday conversation. Also in Japanese you'd only specify the moreimportant of the two timeframes, either "tonight" (今夜/夕方) or "after school" (授業終(が)終わったら), not both

I mean that's hopeful, but remember that the New Deal also came against the backdrop of the height of socialism in the West and the labor rights movement. Modern Americans don't have the organizational strength to make such a compromise attractive in the eye of the ruling class, and they don't seem intent on ever having it.

They're not talking about a new deal as in a new status quo after this whole mess; they're talking about the New Deal and are hoping for more of that.

TL;DR for the article: Pretty much all federal social welfare programs and worker rights in America were established as part of the New Deal. Think if Bernie became president with a cooperative Congress.

Literal parallel reality material. Arabs overwhelmingly support Iran's antagonization of Israel and wish their own governments would do the same. Source: am Arab.

Huh? Okay I'm not a native speaker so I'm not exactly an authority here but I'm 99.999% sure this is either a dialect, extremely local slang or something equally weird. Can someone confirm or deny this? A quick google didn't turn out anything either.

Goodbye, my dude

PS: I have literally never seen anyone complain about this before. Is this not normal internet English?
