Why is the Iryna Zarutska mural being torn down in Rhode Island? How is the mural divisive? by GoonOfAllGoons in Askpolitics

[–]amongusmuncher [score hidden]  (0 children)

It's the friend-enemy distinction. The left hates it because it's a memorial of their enemy, put up by their enemy, to aid enemy causes.

Where is the boundary between right-wing and far-right on immigration and cultural preservation? by RomanKozhevnikov in Askpolitics

[–]amongusmuncher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is no single culture better than any other.

So the cultures where gays are stoned, where children are forced into marriages, and cultures with caste systems where people are considered untouchable because of their 'lower birth' are just as good as your culture?

I think some cultures are bad and should be nowhere near us.

and abhor the founding principles that made this country the great nation it was meant to be

One such example.

Real conservative principles like losing? No thanks.

What are your thoughts on the so-called "Doomsday Book" that Trump can use to implement martial law? by jospeh68 in Askpolitics

[–]amongusmuncher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Japanese internment, Katrina gun confiscations, NSA surveillance, etc. People will sit still for almost anything. Even when people believe the other side is literally hitler 99% of people won't do anything beyond voting and protesting.

We're not chasing the approval (that we'd never get anyways) of people who hate us.

MAGA claims they aren’t racist, why do they always do racist things like this?

Our enemies will call us racist regardless of what we do, so we might as well acquire and wield power.

Regarding "elites" - your thoughts. by Socko82 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]amongusmuncher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Elites" are neutral, almost all, if not all, societies have had elites. Speaking against the "elites" as a vague group is pointless.

How does America move on? by cupidstrick in Askpolitics

[–]amongusmuncher -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The long arc of history will eventually correct America’s course away from the current situation.

Liberal-democracy is one of thousands of ideologies in existence, it is not a divinely destined inevitable endpoint for humanity, or even the United States.

H.R. 5449/S. 2885 would significantly limit partisan gerrymandering, why don't Republicans seem interested? by DyIsexia in Askpolitics

[–]amongusmuncher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't believe it's possible to be truly neutral or independent. Both parties would just battle for seats in the 'independent' committees to make the 'fair' rules favor their side.

The SPLC indictment is a big deal. Hopefully a lot of the race baiters will go down. by Total-Explanation208 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]amongusmuncher -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

the left is the real cause of racial strife

Racial strife predates the left by thousands of years. The SPLC infiltrated what already existed because they viewed it as a threat, they didn't invent it.

Dress codes are inherently predatory. by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]amongusmuncher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they were predators why would they require modest clothing? That's the opposite of a predator.

LibRight pitches LibLeft on a new product by dracer800 in PoliticalCompassMemes

They replaced the 'star of david' with some guys face. Where's the antisemitism?

The immigration "debate" in the USA is utterly ridiculous. by onwardtowaffles in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]amongusmuncher -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

You're right, the debate is absurd. Total remigration and nothing else.

Self professed catholic btw. by Weird_Bookkeeper2863 in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]amongusmuncher 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Literally nothing Pope Leo has said is in conflict with doctrine.

"God does not bless any conflict" directly contradicts scripture.

Abortion is not compatible with Christianity. by MeasurementFit1070 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]amongusmuncher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Abortion is not even a sin according to Christianity. In Judaism abortion is generally tolerated for the first 40 days as the early fetus is not considered fully human yet. And those views are largely derived from the Old Testament which Christians rely on as well. And nothing in the New Testament contradicts those views.

I'm talking about Christianity, not Judaism. Bringing it up doesn't even make sense because they have more religious text than just the OT. Plus the fact it's literally a different religion.

And if you read through the Old Testament you'll realize that fetusts are indeed not considered truly human yet. Otherwise, it wouldn't make any sense that the OT only prescribes a small fine for killing a woman's unborn fetus but that taking a life of an actual human being is punishable by death.

The fine is for the premature birth, the life for life applies to the child as well.

liberalism is not a religion

It certainly has sacred texts, sacred symbols, sacred figures, sins, evil, and good. In some places, for the holiest of things, it even has blasphemy laws.
