You want to remove religion? Won't you be just another oppressive asshole then? What's the difference between a regime that forces their religion onto people and a regime that forbids people from following their religion? Both are extremely authoritarian, you're just pretending it's for a more noble cause, while a religious person would say they're doing it for the more noble cause. You're no different.

Russia never had the upper hand, man

Pretending it's religion that's enabling these evils distracts from the real evil in the room. Religion is merely a distraction, a tool to achieve the goal. The goal is always control and power. By placing the focus on religion, you're saying that if we 'solve' religious extremism (this is a very racist train of thought that I can get into if you'd like), we'll get rid of these terrible actors, while you and I and everybody with an inkling of critical thinking skills know damn well that if it wasn't religion they'd use something else as that tool. Shared trauma is a big one that's used often.

The irony is palpable

Doubling down on your ignorance like a true redditor

No it's the blind blame on religion, as if any of this has anything to do with spirituality that's in part why I left. Redditors can't think for two seconds about the headlines they're reading, and neither can the guy I commented on. This shit is all about power and control, none of it is about any spirituality.

Americans still think they can vote fascism out of the government.

This is just bill announcing he's pulled out of the ai bubble. Fuck you, billionaire pedophile scum.

Wouldn't want you to go 5 minutes thinking on your own, think of the horrors you could come up with. Better start your 5pm copilot therapy session early today.
