22·3 days agoZionism is complicated, because “Jewish” can be a religion, nationality, culture, or ethnicity/race, or any combination of the above, depending on who is using the term and in what context.
MAGA is absolutely strongly correlated with evangelical Christianity in the US.
Yes, and I’m saying that religion had very little to do with Hitler’s inherently race-based ideology, even as a cover.
Religion still does enable violence. Just because you’re citing a specific example where it arguably did not does not falsify that.

And let’s not forget the Aztecs, whose religion had them subjugating their nearby enemies, capturing their people, and sacrificing them to satisfy their deities. The Aztecs were so horrible that when the Europeans showed up and kind of rolled over them, those previously subjugated city-states went fucking ham on the Aztecs, completely destroying them. And the Europeans were all “Dude, that’s harsh.”
There are certainly also plenty of non-religious cases of violence throughout history, of course, for good and bad reasons. “Because a deity ‘said so’” is never a good reason.
Aryan race stuff, as exemplified in 19th and 20th century racial superiority, actually starts with lingustics.

Okay? You’re the only one talking about that, and nobody is disagreeing with you. Although I might add that Hitler and his ilk were kind of famously into the occult. Perhaps not a religion, but certainly religious.
You’ve reversed the order, and that doesn’t work.
“Religion enables violence” is not the same as “All violence is caused by religion.”
Religion is excellent cover for it, though.
Warthunder forums IRL.
He must have spent hours on that circuit diagram.
I recall hearing that professional poker players hate playing against novices, because novices are so unpredictable. It’s really hard to plan a defense against someone(s) who are so incompetent that you have no idea what’s going to happen.
Guess we’ll just have to cull the herd every year then.
That last part actually works by culling the people who have the most severe symptoms. So you would be building natural immunity in the population, over a long period of time, by dying before you produce offspring.
FDA approval in never.
61·14 days agoTongue weight and towing capacity are two different things.
Max tongue weight for a Cybertruck is 1100 lbs. They put almost ten times on it before it broke. It was fun, but it’s not a valid test.
Violence is the US’ number one export.
Taking design cues from the flying dildo, I see.
If you have a Voodoo card laying around, it might be worth some money. They were used in some coin-op arcade games.
If only they’d stop buying from Ted’s Second Hand Only Lightly Singed Nightclub Signage.
If you don’t want to be punished, just stop being poor.
