It's not bigoted. Normalizing fully veiled women means normalizing suppression of women rights. Especially the left should be against that, or that's what I thought.
Yes, the normalisation of women wearing veils is messed up, I was talking about the "free of Islam in America" bit.
I kind of think we should stop normalizing all death cults, including the abrahamic faiths.
It's not okay for grown adults to pretend magic is real. Superstition is killing us, magical thinking makes accountability impossible.
Obviously zionism is wrong and harmful. But how do you tell that to the zionists, who have exactly as much evidence for their god as anyone else does? Deadly delusion is protected. We need to reevaluate our priorities. Truth can unite us. Religion encourages people to make up their own truth, sowing endless division with no discernable standards.
It's the belief that your delusion and only your delusion is correct thats the problem. If people want to believe in cmforting fairy tales let them. Republicans exist and we all need some comfort from that.
Instead of placating ourselves with bullshit, instead of hiding like cowards, we need to take honest stock of the situation and do everything we can to fight back.
They are killing us.
