It was just a quick low effort example, but yes, you are correct. Take my upvote! LOL
One can always leaf through and pick any of the many examples of awful highlighted on the site: https://www.evilbible.com/
I'd also say, though, that most Christians will use any law, new or old, to support their hatred and evil. If they're looking to support their bigotry or hatred, then any version of the bible is fair game. It's only abolished when it's inconvenient for them.
Sadly, I've had the misfortune of living in multiple areas with mega-churches. ><
Just got done celebrating malicious compliance on another thread. So this one I'll just give a big cheer and thumbs up for The Satanic Temple and all the good it's doing in this country!
I'm a HUGE fan of malicious compliance. When people do stupid shit like, for example, being religious—if you just make them AC TUALLY live with their maleficence, then they give up faster than any other method of confrontation.
If women really had to kill a dove every time they menstruated, then it would lose a bit of popularity. LMFAO, just one of an ENDLESS (well, I guess it actually is finite) number of examples.
Leviticus 15:28-30 ESV
But if she is cleansed of her discharge, she shall count for herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean. And on the eighth day she shall take two turtledoves or two pigeons and bring them to the priest, to the entrance of the tent of meeting. And the priest shall use one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering. And the priest shall make atonement for her before the Lord for her unclean discharge.
I'm all sorts of fine with condem atrocities and war crimes. I hate Bibi and Likud and would love to see the whole lot of them tried. And wewilli be on the same page up to Oct. I'm all for prosecuting collective punishment and other Israeli war crimes pre october. And every rocket fired at civilians was a war crime, and I'm for prosecuting the tens of thousands of those incidents. and other Hamas' greatest hits like suicide bombings and bus bombings.
The Palestinians have rejected 2-state 4 or 5 times, both pre and post. Roughly '37, '47, '67, '00, '08. And Israel has agreed to it multiple times and has been agreeable to it.. Go look it up. It's not hard to find. It's just a more inconvenient fact for Lemmy.
Also, dirty Jerusalem, which NOBODY should get. Since these fucking murderous religious trash of all varieties can't behave. They should just forbid it to everyone. Go kindergarten on them. "Now nobody gets to play with it". Much of the rejection of 2 state is fucking Jerusalem. Religion makes everything horrible.
And Palestinians DID elect Hamas, elected them to destrogy israel and the Jews. And they're more popular than ever. If they held elections today, they'd win easily both in Gaza and West Bank. Abbas is fucked and about to lose power completely.
Hamas is the government there. When people say aid to the Palestinians, what they mean is give money and food and fuel to Hamas (they literally handle it) amd then they also steal it and tell the citizens that Isreal is starving you. It'd great PR both in and outside of Gaza. It works wonders here eith Lemmy radical terrorist supporters and sympathizers.
Congress has wanted nothing to do with conflicts in an official capacity for the last 50-60 years. They want sound bytes in unofficial interviews for grandstanding and to be able to blame everyone else.
This is actually a result of those decades of congress, regardless of party in control, abdicating their constitutional duty. For a recent example, check out post 9/11 and congress.
But right now, the lines are blured. It's why anti-semtic incidents, attacks, vandalism, etc. have spiked since the terrorists attacked Israel. And rhe most incidents of all occur at the "pro-palestinan rallies", that turn pro-Hamas super easily.
Random selection for ya (pulled from Ground News high factuality sources, uses MBFC and a few others):
Kind of a strawman, I'd like everything to be FOSS, and if we keep Capitalism (which we shouldn't), it should be HEAVILY regulated not the laissez-faire corporatocracy / oligarchy we have now.
I don't want any for-profit capitalists to have any control of AI. It should all be owned by the public and all productive gains from it taxed at 100%. But open source AI models, right on.
General purpose AI robots will take manual labor, and specialized AI machinery. It already does in many manufacturing plants, just b/c the robots running algorithms and using machine learning don't look like human arms doesn't mean they're not already there and taking jobs.
The current capitalists do NOT plan to get rid of capitalism. They think they're going to get hundreds of percent productivity gains while cutting the workforce by 90%+. It is society as a whole, and all of us who aren't the 1% that are going to have to get rid of capitalism. It will have to be French Revolution style.
There won't be MORE wage slaves, not when there's no need to pay people at all. That's rather the point. Capitalism literally can't work without wage slaves--that's its end state (where we are now). All the wealth concentrated into the hands of the feudal lords, the peasants toil and the lords take all the spoils. But in this case you're going to have robotic peasants, and a whole group of have nothings, who are also unemployed with no prospects--usually that equals civil war. Though there's a chance that you could get the militarized tech and actually win against a peasant revolt now. Huge population reduction, still maintain the quality of life for the lords, and maximum dystopia.
And you’ll like it too, you’ll embrace Toxic Positivity as the corporate mantra right up until the oceans acidify and the billionaires have long gone underground into their bunkers hoping to repopulate the Earth once the rest if us have all eaten each other.
I don't think you really mean to talk for me. But I can tell you that it's EVERY survivor's duty to bury the rich in their bunkers when they go scurry off. ;)
This will be a unique turning point because we're about to get to where you don't need the people who normally revolt and fight a civil war to be alive. The capitalists are eyeballing a future without the need for the bulk of the population. I hope we don't let them get there.
I understand the emotional response of "time to Sherman the south again", but I NEVER want to see a civil war here. Plus complicating the matter is, a lot of people have nobody to fight for. Why would anyone lay their lives down for the Dems. My personal best GUESS is that it'd devolve into small regional struggles, along with a what the fuck happens to the military and all the bases, etc.
What I do know is that once we burn down the south again, we're NOT repeating one of the greatest mistakes ever of reconstruction, nor allowing the traitor states back in the union (if some form of union still exists in the aftermath). Fool us once...
Lab tests show it's lethal and puts everyone at risk. Symptoms include shouting things like "Murica", and wearing red baseball caps. According to the CDC the primary vector is Fox, OAN, NewsMax, and the GOP.
Fascinating and adding it to my haul of TIL!
Thank you very much!
