You’re oversimplifying commitment.

Religious belief is required for religious tribalism, otherwise it’s not religious tribalism, it’s some other form of tribalism.

You said it was religious tribalism.

“It’s not religious belief it’s religious tribalism”

Ahh yes, religious tribalism. Famously able to exist without religious belief.

Your dismissal is empathetic but inaccurate.

These people literally believe they’ve retaken the “holy land” (when Britain helped them invade Palestine in the mid 1900s).

Many abrahamic worshippers believe these are the prophesized end times, especially in Israel.

Religion is at the core of many conflicts in the Middle East, especially in the levant.

When it’s not at the core, it’s still is in a way — because it tells people sacrificing their life is just a temporary speed bump in their existence, one which will make the road after it way more pleasant and rewarding.

Chad leaving the ICC:

Ok hot take here…

Starfleet Academy is woke propaganda.

Listen… I’m pretty left leaning. I AM trans. I do believe in socialism. I believe in reparations and defunding the police, etc etc.

Starfleet Academy is too much. It’s too neurotic and touchy feely and soft. It feels like if a Star Trek series were written by only the Disney nerds of the Euphoria writing team.

That said, The Odyssey was great. I liked it a lot. No complaints.

I’ve often wondered… What if we are way wrong about the level of danger, and ultimately climate change will turn Earth into another Venus, and we only find out once it’s too late?

How fucked are we?

“Bring me the Horizon”

Children represent themselves in court for daring to have melanin while pale pedophiles bleed the country dry with tariff refunds and insider trading.

Honestly their take is so egregiously bad, somewhere deep down I bet they are already on the fence.

Just respond: “Listen to yourself.”

You might break through this time with how things are.

The Trump boat has never been more on fire. It’s time to jump off, and a lot of them are starting to sense it.

I could be wrong, but I guess we’ll see.

As a trans woman — Sports is such a contentious topic for me.

On the one hand, I want us to be treated fairly and not separated from our cisgender sisters.

On the other hand, male puberty is a motherfucker and can absolutely give real, permanent athletic advantages that can never be fully reversed.

That said if a trans woman went on blockers and never went through male puberty, I see no reason to stop her from competing.

People are so polarized on this. No one allows any space for details and nuance, but those things matter just as much as the broader principles and ethics of the issue.

For real.

I came here looking to avoid the censorship of Reddit.

Unfortunately Trump didn’t have the privilege of going to pedophile island to fuck children with Jeffrey Epstein, who stole Trump’s underage girls from Maralago whom he immediately gave up on looking for and which he never felt compelled to report.

Jeffrey Epstein was a great guy and a lot of fun, and some people say he even likes women almost as much as Trump, and many of them are on the younger side.

It really is a shame that after spending all that time together objectifying young women at elite parties for the rich, Jeffrey Epstein turned out to be such a prolific objectifier of young girls for the wealthy elite.

How could Trump have seen this coming?

Only 99% of the signs were there!

This shitty human being is only saying what a small but significant chunk of our species already thought before he said it.

Holocaust denial isn’t new 😕

The fact that your assessment is accurate deeply saddens and infuriates me.

I want Star Trek humanity.

When the fuck are we going to stop being savages and be a civilization on the verge of faring space.

God we are so depressing.

How can these people believe in a magical sky daddy who punishes finite sins with infinite torture while somehow being “benevolent”… with no evidence… purely on faith…

Then turn around and deny an internationally documented holocaust with thousands of pictures and weeks of footage…

And think they’re going to be rewarded with eternal bliss after death — not just in spite of these beliefs, but because of them…

I’m embarrassed to even be the same species as these “people”.

“Concentrate” them huh…

Like… in some sort of “camp”?
