Again, you’re assuming that this belief exists in a vacuum and not as part of an elaborate belief system with clauses specifically meant to address this. Besides, your average leftist believes that if you (well society at large more like) disagree with them millions if not billions of people will be condemned to lifelong poverty for generations. The scale is a bit smaller than eternal damnation, but really this is just how it goes when you have strong/high-stakes opinions about anything.

Netanyahu Nobel prize when?

A “true” believer therefore has a moral imperative of destroying diversity in order to protect other people.

I mean they have a moral imperative to try within whatever limits their interpretation of the religion imposes, but that’s it. It’s not like these religions imply, say, putting followers of other religions in reeducation camps. One can fully operate in a diverse society while still thinking “I’m right and everyone else is wrong when it comes to this thing,” for the same reason having political opinions isn’t mutually exclusive with diversity. BTW Islam =/= Islamism. The former is a religion; the latter is a political ideology based on the religion.

This is one of the parties that were formed into Likud BTW.

Why do you think I liked the men that got the Democratic nomination for president?

Or, you know, neoliberal ghouls are unpopular no matter their gender. Have you considered that possibility?

It’s funny how these guys are only like this when their enemies are in charge.

I’ve talked to them in person? I’ve seen them countless times before this, and many of them have been organizing before Trump was president.

I was referring to the leadership of organizations like Indivisible that are actually planning the protests, since those are the ones who set strategy.

If that’s not a concrete positive outcome, I don’t know what is.

You know what, fair enough. I still believe the pace is catastrophically slow, but I guess No Kings is more useful than I thought.

There. Are. More. Important. Things. Than. The. Epstein. Files. Fucking hell, I swear some of y’all will have a gun to your head and say “nice distraction from the Epstein files.”

but giving millions of people booklets, cards, zines, and papers that direct them to their local ICE rapid response networks, get them canvassing for leftist politicians in their area, and giving them hope that lets them keep doing those things in the future

Do you have evidence that these is the organizers ’ intentions? I keep seeing this point made, but really if the point is radicalization and encouraging action they’re failing miserably. I mean hell, it’s been a year and only like two or three notable acts of resistance happened (no, No Kings protests don’t count); when are we supposed to actually see this bear fruit? This argument made sense in April, maybe even in July, but January 2026 with project 2025 half done? At this point something is not going according to plan, and frankly I’m far more inclined to believe that No Kings is acting as a do-nothing release valve than that it’s a successful method of radicalizing attendees.

Thanks Biden!

Thanks Biden!

My impression is that they’ve been purging people from past administrations, not their own appointees. If that’s off the mark I’ll have to rethink my position, but so far the purges can be explained by how they likely want high-ranking bureaucrats and military officers to be solidly in their camp.

I disagree on the MAGA part. MAGA is currently preparing for a coup, so they need ideologically compliant sycophants at the top levels of power. That’s not paranoia; it’s a pragmatic and effective strategy.

Somalia is committing fewer Holocausts than 1945 Germany, so yeah.

K.

They work for the same boss, that’s what’s going on.

Relevant.

You can guess how much love I have for US allies.

I love the smell of leopards eating faces in the morning.

But Israel insists it’s been built without the necessary permits.

No mention of how it’s almost impossible to get the necessary permits. This article doesn’t even have a pro-Israel slant so it’s just weird how this piece of information isn’t included.
