Gambling is haram for a reason. 🤷

(And yeah, I know much of it happens in or goes through some Gulf institutions, don’t worry I hate those hypocrites also).

You’re stuck in the aesthetic phase of development.

Idk if I agree with all of that, but it’s at least an indictment of those who act that way and whatever their beliefs are (if they have any besides “blood for the blood god”). 🤷

Pretty much everyone besides maniacal psychos wouldn’t be cool with it, Jesus would flip the fuck out.

It’s okay (if a bit silly, IMO, the nation is too big for me to have any real, deep attachment to it) if their patriotism doesn’t involve hating and murdering people around the world, lol. Usually, it doesn’t, but for a subset of countries it does.

Yeah, I heard. 😔

Morals and the teachings of Jesus, and Trinitarian faiths, have been disassociated pretty much since forever (Jesus was not a Roman Catholic, after all), but this is some next level shit. Or, perhaps, not really… I bet Richard the Lionheart told his crusaders the same shit.

Not really, they just mentioned not having a “gender” assigned at birth, allowing you to remain legally sexually indeterminate until you pick a side, regardless of your bits and bobs. Or at least that’s how I read it.

Probably not for ethical reasons but more uhh aristocratic in-group disputes/conflicts of interest.

Nothing lasts forever. Sure, you could see this as a continuation of Western imperialism (it is), which could be seen as a continuation of Roman imperialism (more debatable), but the Mongols were at it at some point too, and the Egyptians and the Akkadians (and those more knowledgeable than me can surely provide more examples) so idk, at least the villains and the geographical regions affected change over time, lol. Will we reach some “end of history” moment, where we’re all sufficiently moral and humane not to engage in forced labour, murder and pillage for the sake of comfort and profits? Maybe, maybe we’ll destroy ourselves, directly or indirectly (is our planet okay or at least okay-ish?!), before that happens. 🤷

I’m sorry, I meant to be more positive with my reply but this is what came out. 🥲

Just tell them Jesus wants them to kill brown people (who are closer to him in ethnicity and, much more importantly, belief than the average American Trinitarian, lol) and they won’t question shit. Real men kill random people on the other side of the world!

I’m a Muslim man and I can tell you nobody cares, really. My MIL complains about the drug and booze culture, which are actual problems since you can’t go outside without seeing loud, sometimes aggressive groups of drunk/coked out white boys, or nonsense pushed by Western media. Non-Muslims eating pork is not even a topic I’ve ever talked about with any Muslim person.

But yes, Western leaders (not just them, ofc, but they’re the most relevant and identifiable group that does this, even between themselves [“freedom fries” and the concept of “whiteness” come to mind]) will find and push any reason/narrative to make their already brain-dead, heavily propagandised, truth-agnostic people hate others, simply because they can then manipulate this sentiment, maybe pushing it far enough to make the average man cheer for death and destruction, and profit from it.

That makes sense.

You don’t believe in free will, OP? Just curious.

Germany is the Western scapegoat, and Hitler is their Satan, but the reality of things is that a shit-ton of Western leaders have been worse to humanity than Mr. Funny Mustache (just not to other Europeans, of course, hence the difference in reaction) and Germany barely struck/invaded folks around the world. Considering Germany and Hitler, and not France or the UK (I’m French and I live comfortably in the UK, lol, but facts are facts) and their leaders, who murdered and pillaged to their hearts’ content and colonized entire continents, as the Western big baddies is a ridiculous take, one with at least tinges of white supremacy.

I might misunderstand things (but overall I don’t think I am, and I understand I’m in a Western online environment so disagreements are expected regardless), I’m not a professional political analyst nor am I God, but rest assured I’ve no “nefarious purposes”.

Yes, that’s what I was doing. And I’m a fascist now too. 🙄

I hope this is just another bot. 🙏

They weren’t particularly short to begin with so it’s not that big of a deal.

There’s not enough budget for spin anymore, so this is the era of naked imperialism. 🤷

I went through this/a similar rabbit hole in my preteen years and I found Raelism, lol. 😅

“Raëlism teaches that an extraterrestrial species known as the Elohim created humanity using their advanced technology. An atheistic religion, it holds that the Elohim have historically been mistaken for gods. It claims that throughout history the Elohim have created 40 Elohim/human hybrids who have served as prophets preparing humanity for news about their origins. Among them are The Buddha, Jesus, and Muhammad, with Raël himself the 40th and final prophet.” - Wikipedia
