That's exactly what the original is. It's been around Facebook and other brain-melting places forever.
Yeah, you are absolutely right, though for full disclosure I didn't make this edit
So you're saying that the original is "good person (an American), vs bad person (not American)"?
Hmm...
If you only showed me the good/bad Muslim part and told me to guess who the libs were calling a good Muslim I think my brain would explode. Most liberals I know think something along the lines of “Malcolm X was trying to be good but he was just too mean :(”
There are some libs who will just whitewash him beyondrecognition, though you're experience is also quite common I think
Why'd they flip the sides for the last one?EDIT: I'm a hungover fucking moron holy shit, disregard me being a dumbass, good show in organized bullying though, good to see this kind of nonsense gets responded to quicklyWhy do they say "[person] living without a religion" and not just "atheist" ???
because dipshits making money off saying dumb shit ruined the word on youtube a decade ago or something, it's hard to tell but people really react negatively towards 'atheist' these days
Nah, people here and in some specific parts of reddit react negatively. The rest of the world rightfully doesn't give a shit.
Something I've noticed on left spaces the last few years if you are open about being an atheist or say something that makes it obvious you're an atheist, they'll respond smugly like "tips fedora" or something. Kind of annoying, like god damn sorry for not being religious.
People irl don't give a shit and I live in the Bible Belt.
So you're being treated like an 'online'TM atheist when you mention being an atheist online?
They didn't really ruin it for most people. Most people had it ruined by like
christians
Nah, It's probably because a lot of "New Atheists" define Atheism as a lack of faith in god (mostly for dumb semantic purposes) and this looks to me like something made by a "new atheist" in the late 2000s
any of those people can be agnostic though, and most religious people are. Though some people use agnostic as slang for like, atheist who doesn't want to be harassed
You're right, Hitler was a catholic.
edit: this is intentionally a shithead statement
Ex-catholic here, you're completely right, catholicism is extremely far from what Jesus stood for.
In Europe it's a business + a safe space for pedophiles and fascists.
It might be a bit better in South America I dunno, liberation theology is alright I guess.
catholicism is extremely far from what Jesus stood for.
Yeah that's true, but have you seen American protestantism? It's literally the opposite of Christianity
He praised Christianity to his conservative base, but the way he lived was secular. He thought Christianity was eventually going to have to be eliminated from Germany, and favored Germanic Paganism. He wasn't exactly not a Christian, and wasn't an atheist, but it's not very cut-and-dry. IDK why someone would go with him for this meme and not the Spanish Inquisition or something. Calling him an "evil Christian" and placing him as opposite to MLK implies that Christianity was as important to his beliefs and actions as it was for MLK, who was a minister, and that's just not the case.
He wasn't really trying to be a christian, most of the most deeply ideological nazis weren't. They were into weird Germanic pagan shit, also see Himmler and his weird occultism. They preached christianity to their base because they knew their audience. Golden Dawn recently is another example, their leadership is into weird dodekatheist nonsense and paganism but they started pretending to be orthodox because that's what all their base was into.
but why? jesus and judas obviously had a thing?
source: I've read the sparknotes for the gospels once
After reading the Bible, I give it 12:1 odds that Jesus wasn't running a sex cult
But the Catholics have always been more into Peter and Paul than that carpenter guy from Bethlehem talking shit about all the Pharisees.
I give it 12:1 odds that Jesus wasn’t running a sex cult
that would be dope ngl
I don’t want to condone what Osama did, but something rubs me the wrong way about labeling people “good and bad Muslims” or “good and bad X”
I am reading the Three Body Problem series rn and

one of the main characters tries to ask Bin Laden to form a crack team of atomic bomb suicide space pilots so they can kill the invading aliens, but Bin Laden tells him that ever since the aliens forced Earth to unite, al Qaeda no longer wants to fight, and in fact welcome the destruction of Earth, since it would mean the destruction of America.
:amerikkka:I mean the ending kinda sucked, and all that shit about the one dude's ideal dream waifu who ends up being real was pretty weird/gross.
Ah fuck I forgot about the dreamgirl part I just liked the whole dark forest theory.
Ah, yeah, the theory is definitely neat, I mostly didn't like how

Rey Diaz had basically the same plan of "I will hold the earth hostage" like 1/3 through the book, and that more or less ends up being the solution in the end, if with a different implementation.
I'm only partway through the sequel and it has some more weird sexism, with
spoiler
the Trisolarans instantly attacking earth the moment that a woman is put in charge of the deterrence system because they know that she won't be willing to follow through, and all the future people (described as extremely feminine) being portrayed as weak and utterly incapable of functioning in a crisis.
My take on the tree body problem trilogy is that conceptually it is 10/10 but the execution leaves a lot to be desired
Like in the penultimate volume, when he sacrificed himself to kill that helicopter.
Is this a joke or is there something I don't know about him?
But now idealism was driven from its last refuge, the philosophy of history; now a materialistic treatment of history was propounded, and a method found of explaining man's "knowing" by his "being", instead of, as heretofore, his "being" by his "knowing".
But they sure feel like they do when you are socially and politically alienated from the levers of power.
