From my perspective, organized religion predisposes people to being easily brainwashed.
Someone that is a decent person BECAUSE of their invisible friend in the sky will also do and permit evil things if they are convinced that it pleases invisible sky friend.
I’d honestly rather people that “need” religion to “be good” just be bad. Then we can weed them out easier.
Not really. We all still recognize that a police officer murdering someone is fundamentally bad.
Just because people are glad that a violent, brainwashed magat died bleeding in the street doesn’t mean they think it’s okay that the system allowed for it.
Are you familiar with “even a broken clock is right once a day”?
Lol.
You have a fundamental misunderstanding.
The philosophy behind ACAB is that the American police system and its proponents abuse the system and work to keep each other from facing consequences. “Good cops” may enter the force, but they don’t last long, because those who don’t play along and look the other way eventually get ousted, whereas those they tattled on get rehired at a different station.
The idea isn’t that literally all cops ever will always be bastards. It’s that (under the current system) all cops are bastards.
Did you just stop reading after the first sentence?
Yeah bro, because hating Trump means I want to gargle Biden’s balls. You’re a waste of time.
But, for the sake of others reading this:
Trump said that if hostages weren’t released, there would be hell to pay in the middle-east. In other words, he applied pressure to HAMAS- but not, you know, the genociders.
Additionally, if you click on the source noting Trump’s incoming envoy’s vague “involvement”, you will note that he had no direct involvement in the negotiations. 🤔
Edit: I take it back, tentatively. There was a second reference in the following sentence that elaborated on the Trump admin’s involvement. Interesting. Okay. So it seems that they did pressure Israel to agree to a ceasefire.
We’ll see how long that lasts, considering the last ceasefire lasted 6 days and all.
Acting like Trump is easing up the genocide is fucking delusional.
“Trump is the reason for the ceasefire!!”
Are you intellectually dishonest or just stupid? The ceasefire that has been being planned for months, with literally 0 involvement from Trump, because he literally had 0 authority until like a week ago? Holy fuck.
lol ok bud
REMINDER: THIS IS WHERE WE STARTED
MY POINT = PROVEN CORRECT
PLEASE KEEP MOVING THE GOALPOST
The paper wasn’t retracted until 2010 lol. The point is that fraudulent papers can be published.
Still lmao.
This just shows the resilience of publishing, and the scientific community to fraud and [alleged] corruption
Uh… sure it does, buddy.
Lol I despise people not knowing what a strawman is. Go back to english class.
Hahaha you sound so fucking stupid.
Please, keep going.
Recognize that you are trying to make a social point as you socially flail.
Silly goose. You don’t know what you’re talking about. But please do be armed and ready! I appreciate that much.
More bad faith dipshittery.
Tell me more about how antivax scientists didn’t successfully publish a paper with tons of biases and nonsensical findings.
No paper would be published if it was biased and as selective as you say.
That is incredibly naive of you and truly points to your lack of credibility.
Don’t think you understand what cognitive dissonance is. I understand the reality of the situation. Sounds like you’re the one who doesn’t.
I didn’t debate whether or not genocide was happening.
It is genocide. There is no debate.
The genocide will get worse if Trump is elected. I am so glad that your conscious will be clear because you abstained from voting Blue. I am, again, also not voting Blue. Doesn’t make your decision any less brain dead, and it doesn’t make my point any less poignant. If you believe in harm reduction, then you should learn how to practice it.
This is pretty brain dead of you. It’s not a boogeyman, it’s just reality.
I understand being angry at the current admin. I don’t like Kamala either. I don’t like the genocide. I disavow the genocide and I wish Israel’s apartheid regime was dissolved.
Now let’s face facts. The Trump admin did a lot of damage. And honestly, the Biden admin has allowed for a lot of damage to continue. And maintaining that honesty, I think the Harris admin will not be much better.
But this is absolutely a choice between an evil and a lesser evil, and to disagree with that? Fucking stupid. You want to make a difference? Too bad. Your vote isn’t going to solve the genocide. Your lack of a vote isn’t going to solve the genocide. Nothing you can legally do is going to solve the genocide.
If you want to do something about it, then you should. But if your idea of “doing something about it” is not voting for the democratic ticket… it isn’t productive. Maybe spend that energy differently.
I live in a red state so I’m voting third party anyway. But if the alt right is allowed to proceed with project 2025, let’s see how long we have before we are dealing with our own genocide, huh?
Wake up call: literally every admin has supported the wanton murder of civilians. Literally every admin has blood on their hands. Literally every admin is a war criminal.
Advocating for not voting for the Harris admin won’t do anything about it.
Not all religious people use abusive child rearing techniques and punitive social controls.
Even if you were more specific to say “all organized religion”, but even that would be purely speculative on your part, because it is literally impossible for you to know.
Definitively, your “all of them” statement is wrong. Evidence? My own upbringing where I was allowed to leave the church with basically no resistance.
Otherwise I agree with you. But don’t go tying weak speculation with strong arguments- you’re making your argument, and mine by extension, look less true.
