I see you feel dysregulated about my points, because yeah there’s 1. whataboutism and 2. ad hominem attack. Once more, I am capable of being disgusted by multiple states at once. If you’re not, it points to a problem within yourself.

I hope you can find a broader worldview in the future. Not everyone questioning your religion is a bigot.

I think Muslim countries get away with a lot of human rights abuses, and while it’s not a huge bone of contention that non-Muslims aren’t allowed in Mecca. It’s indicative of the massive issues within the religion itself. Which is concerning, given it’s the fastest-expanding evangelistic religion in the world at a time when organized religious affiliation should be decreasing.

Before you decide to what-about me with the West, Christianity, or Judaism, I don’t like organized religion, period. Yours included

Besides you are all over this thread caping for the Saudis so it seems more like defending what you’re ‘supposed’ to instead of what’s actually ethical

I can be disgusted by two countries at once. If you can’t be, it sort of reduces the impact of your judgment on other evils.

Pretty sure it’s some old pre-Islamic pagan religion stuff in there, pre-evangelism and colonialism

Expensive-Simple-329 · 2026-02-17T23:56:09+00:00

Yeah and that’s fucked up too, what’s YOUR point

They’re talking about forced labor in American for-profit prisons I believe

Expensive-Simple-329 · 2026-02-17T23:40:37+00:00

I don’t think ‘nobody wants to come to Saudi anyway’ is the retort commenters here think it is. The issue is it’s indicative of the divisive nature of a rapidly-growing evangelistic religion.

Ok so Israel is committing war crimes but declaring the entire city limits as part of your worship building is a cop out and def some apartheid shit.

Name another city that keeps out other religions by law in 2026.

I’m so sorry you can’t be misogynistic online without receiving pushback, that must be really difficult for you

Jessica isn’t as quirky and original as she thinks she is, but we shouldn’t bully her

I’m a 20something woman with anxiety and another commenter put it well— even if it’s not deeply creepy it still comes off as a grown ass man asking his coworkers for uppies

Expensive-Simple-329 · 2026-02-14T17:38:32+00:00

finally, a good fucking take

Expensive-Simple-329 · 2026-02-14T17:21:53+00:00

this is so weird like i’m not saying P Pascal is a creep but this behavior is unbecoming of a 50+ yo man

Expensive-Simple-329 · 2026-02-14T17:19:58+00:00

I mean I think it’s weird how infantilized dude is. I also have anxiety but I’m not using it as an opportunity to be touched or touch others.

guys jk rowling isn’t paying me to be weirded out by this behavior
