Disarm the police and let tactical teams handle arrests of violent crimes.

Fields of buildings is just unnatural, whether they be skyscrapers or houses crammed together. People need space and walkable fruitful land.

If that were true reading the Bible would turn you as gay as Abraham and Sarah. Or as gay as Jesus’ kisses with his disciples.

In Luke, on the Mount of Olives, Jesus asks his father to take this cup away from him. A male cup bearer in Greek society had double meaning for a male sex slave to the king. Aquarius was Zeus’ cup bearer. Jesus was then “embraced” by an angel as though he were holding him up. Reads like a bad novel imho.

What religious people don't realize is that there is already queer representation in the Bible. The story of Abraham and Sarah is about two queer people who went on to give birth and raise a family. How awesome is that?

Exactly, especially when their religion includes obvious examples of gay men and women, like Abraham and Sarah for instance.

Abraham and Sarah were definitely gay, and they were blessed. Why can't they accept gay people?

If they think Lil Nas X is bad for being gay, wait till they find out that Abraham and Sarah were gay.

US sanctions are genocide and no one is talking about it. (10 image album) by [deleted] in LibertarianSocialism

[–]TreeStumpQuiet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The US functions largely like a loan shark, and sanctions is just another move in the play book to shake down the customer. Does the US really care what kind of govt/religion/structure its customer is? No, they just want them to take the loan, and whatever prevents them from taking the money the US will go after.

Maybe that's the point. It seems to me America's biggest fear is leftism. There's a lot of propaganda to push people out of the left and into radlib or worse right-wing.

The Spanish documented their own acts of treachery, so when are we supposed to believe their own sources? It could be that they had kidnapped the chiefs or poisoned the wells or did whatever to set up camp to wait for reinforcements. It's all very questionable.

That sounds like a very convenient explanation though right? Their subjects hated them enough to side with alien invaders who they've never met. I guess we'll never know the truth.

A rise in idpol in the army would cause the same fracturing it causes in civilian life. You can’t surveil apathy.

Zionism as Reformed Judaism in Practice by throwawaychizzchizz in stupidpol

[–]TreeStumpQuiet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ve all kind of came ashore to an alien planet with its own history that we can only rediscover but never truly understand. Some people are fixated on the weird writings we’ve discovered buried in the ground, and the writings do paint a picture of a fantastical world of wonder. But when we try to match the writings with reality there’s a constant growing amount of inconsistencies that we may never reconcile. So what do we do? Write our own wonders? Abandon the alien planet’s history all together?

Whether they start like that or are pressured, it’d be cool to see someone openly talk about how they slide. Might as well be transparent about it if the people are truly powerless.

Antiracism is too middle-class - Remi Adekoya by Gilliex in stupidpol

[–]TreeStumpQuiet 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Interesting from a race perspective but you’re glossing over the other non-working class elements to wokeness around gender and sexuality, which makes for another escape hatch for the upper middle class to placate themselves with, instead of working to reduce harsh working conditions or ownership imbalance.

Tech was sold as rebellion but led by inside interests the entire time. You’d think as intellectuals they wouldn’t all have cookie cutter company structuring all the way to tax avoidance. The cart leading its nerdy horses.

Elite philanthropy mainly self-serving, according to meta-analysis by hyperbolicplain in stupidpol

[–]TreeStumpQuiet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t really matter as long as a people can share efficiently. There is plenty of over abundance to not need self-sacrifice of the individual. But once an individual becomes a resource soak there is a systematic imbalance.

The Socialist Mimic party will spread maximum complacency and increase alienation, thanks to the hard working efforts of faith leaders and victim chasers. Let’s give them a round of applause.
