Splitting the vote allows an opening for fascists to take control with a minority of support, like they do.

Roku has a rechargeable backlit remote with remappable buttons. It’s called something like ‘remote pro’

1. Yes, Islam and Christianity both have a penchant for holy wars.

2. There are many large organizations that don’t put so much effort into shielding abusers.

3. Anyone who called out the evils of the Nazi regime was persecuted, including atheists who were often labeled ‘Russian supporters’ due to their lack of faith. ‘Godless’ communists were the first targets of Nazism.

I think most modern anti-theists aren’t interested in forcibly converting anyone, they see the rise of atheism as inevitable. They want to remove religion from schools and public life, stop posting the ten commandments everywhere, stop putting ‘god’ on money, etc. at least that’s what I hear about.

I don’t think anti-theists need to be advocates of forcing people to stop being religious, they can simply be opposed to theism. Like I’m opposed to the smoking of tobacco, but I’m not interested in prohibiting it, I just think it’s unhealthy and the world would be a better place if there was less of it. I think that’s how many anti-theists feel about religion. At least that’s the impression that I get from talking with them.

1. That was the aim of some crusades, there were also the northern crusades which had the goal of slaying pagans and forcibly converting people to Christianity. Obviously not all war comes from religion, but Christianity does seem to have a penchant for interfaith violence.

2. Not only have there been an out sized number of sex abuse scandals involving christian churches (most prominently the Catholic church) there’s been a clear pattern of retaliation, cover-ups, and defense of abusers. When there’s a scandal in a public school, the offender is fired and indicted. The church has routinely shielded offending priests, shuffling them around to avoid accountability.

3. Nazi Germany was theistic, 98.5% of Nazis were Christians. Their belt buckles had “God is with us” inscribed on them. There has been more violence waged against theists by other theists than by anti-theists. Interfaith wars, sectarian violence, pogroms, inquisitions, forced conversions, over a thousand years of history shows clear patterns of religious violence. The USSR was anti-theistic (at least originally), and their persecution of religious people was wrong, but pretending that every anti-theist supports violent purges of the faithful is absurd. I am not an anti-theist, but I have friends who are, and they just want to be left alone.

She can’t end all weapon supplies to Israel, she’s the vice president.

Even Biden couldn’t do it, he paused shipments and Congress passed a bill forcing them to resume. The power of the president is limited, especially when a super majority of Congress are firmly committed to sending weapons to Israel.

Harris is working to end the genocide right now. She’s fighting for a permanent ceasefire and two state solution. That might not be your preferred way to resolve the conflict, but it would stop the carnage and give Palestine more leverage to negotiate on the world stage.

How is it misrepresented?

The Global Health Security and Biodefense unit — responsible for pandemic preparedness — was established in 2015 by Barack Obama.

In May 2018, the team was disbanded and its head Timothy Ziemer, top White House official for leading U.S. response against a pandemic, left the Trump administration.

Republicans have claimed it was ‘streamlining’ as opposed to elimination, since some members of the team were reassigned to other roles related to pandemic response, but the team was disbanded under the trump administration, that’s just a fact.

Those dang anti-theists, with all their crusades, and inquisitions, and molestation scandals. At least when theists isolate you from your friends and family for being gay, or leaving an abusive relationship, it’s done in the name of God. What’s the anti-theists excuse?

Guided missiles are usually guided by laser or gps, this missile sounds like it’s more of a fly by wire remote control situation, like a fpv drone.

Like a reverse Enders Game, where the fighters believe they’re fighting a war but it’s actually a simulation. I think there was a Star Trek episode about that, A Taste of Armageddon.

I’m not sure that fire-with-fire strategy is the most effective. At least historically it seems to have mixed results. I think going after their economy makes the most sense: sanctions, refinery attacks, sabotage; hit them in the wallet, break their capacity to continue the carnage.

I don’t really want us to get any further into the murder-drone business than we already are, but it does seem to be the way conflicts are going.

Maybe war could just become entirely drones, so instead of people dying it could be a giant game of BattleBots.

Look at me, I am your database now.

You don’t think she faced an imminent need of self defense in the house of the man who abused and trafficked her? We don’t know the details, but that seems like a pretty threatening situation to me. We can say that she put herself in that situation, but so did Rittenhouse.

Well, not 100%, Rittenhouse didn’t face a day of jail time. Though I guess he killed two people instead of burning a house down.

Was Obama the first black president? He’s half white, I don’t remember which race he picked on mixed race choosing day.

Good point, that’s more accurate. I just wanted to get specific with the type of right wing nonsense I’ve seen from him.

Lunduke is a terf.
