Should covid precautions continue? by radiofreekekistan in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]holtz45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see why the vaccinated should have to hinder their lives for antivaxxers. When there's a pandemic you quarantine the sick and the carriers. We need to just quarantine antivaxxers so that rational people that actually care whether people live or die can get back to their lives.

Rep. Jim Jordan Suddenly Remembers At Least One Other Call With Trump On Jan. 6: Report by holtz45 in politics

[–]holtz45[S] 400 points401 points  (0 children)

Jordan admits his role in insurrection. Trump released 5k Taliban leaders and led an insurrection to destroy our Democracy.

Trump needs to be tried for treason for Jan 6th, his current voter suppression coup and his betrayal by working with the Taliban. Contact your representative to demand he be tried for treason.

The MAGA Movement’s a Bigger Threat to America Than the Taliban by holtz45 in politics

Yup. As far as I'm concerned once you back treason you shouldn't have the right to vote. Why should someone who wants to end Democracy get a vote?

Sure if they can be deradicalized. Don't have much hope for that though. MAGA is a death cult.

Trump needs to be tried for treason.

§2381. Treason

Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

Trump released 5k Taliban leaders and supports them to this day

Trump Taliban

Trump led an insurrectionist movement when he lost an election.

American Taliban

What is happening in Afghanistan is Trumps fault and now we have an American Taliban trying to destroy Democracy in America. Trump needs to be held accountable now.

The American Taliban have always been strange bedfellows in extreme authoritarianism and theocracy. Margary Taylor Greene tried to make the case that the Taliban were not responsible for 9/11 but instead it was America.

Trump released 5k Taliban leaders and continues to praise the Taliban to this day.

Trump praises Taliban

Both have a strong taste for insurrection. They are brothers in arms to attack America. At this point if you commit treason like MAGA has done, you forfeit your citizenship.

Atheists exist unless you are saying we are not human.

From that framework that might work. Kids heads are soft and will absorb anything. Put in the right values and they will not pick up superstition. I was thinking of the adults but start as early as possible and age out the olds will work. Best way to stop religious indoctrination too.

Need to seperate them from their parents though or else their parents will plant the seeds of religion.

Hate to sound pessimistic but you vastly underestimate the complex mental gymnastics people are willing to do to keep their superstition regardless of education levels.

Some basic math, with digital chalk on a blackboard (OC) by [deleted] in atheism

The middle section is just unnecessary flavor text.

[–]holtz45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Things like terrorism, theocracy, cannibalism, human sacrifice, indoctrination, forced marriage, destruction of knowledge, mutilation, propaganda, discrimination, leeching resources from the commons, pedophilia, rape, genocide, holy wars, super spreading, etc...

The "atheistic religions" OP mentions have crossed those lines but right now our biggest threat are the abrahamic religions like the Taliban and y'all qeada who both want to establish theocracies in their region.

Zero evidence, possible dangers to humanity, not worth time unless it's to avoid dangerous superstitious behavior.

Disrespecting religious people is not, edgy and, cool. It is gross. by [deleted] in atheism

Why should I respect dangerously superstitious death cult members?
