So we’re ahead of schedule at Idiocracy

Idk man once the US stops fucking with other countries economies they tend to start doing well.

As for one party states, try and defy the two headed snake we call democracy here. The a totalitarian state dressed up as a sham republic. Think of all the things everyone agrees on but the federal government vehemently opposes or vice versa

I agree with you on the use of public funds. But a ban goes beyond that.

And it’s not that the religion enables evil deeds. Evil deeds exist independent of religion. Because some people use it as a thin veil over their actions doesn’t mean it’s the root cause

Antisemitism without religion is called racism. And because a corrupt caste of people use religion as a pretext to control and funnel wealth. Doesn’t mean the underlying religion itself calls for that.

As for having a population supporting conquest independent from religion look at the east India company, both world wars, and many others.

I’m not saying religious organizations are a benefit or arguing for or against that.

But how is the world a better place because the banned prayer rooms in universities?

Whether some of those people follow a good religious leader or not. Their religion generally calls for overall good.

Religions do call for a lot of violence don’t get me wrong. I’d even make the claim that most evil acts that we attribute to religion tend to have it as a pretense. The crusades for instance each had a main goal that was there independent of religion.

But then you have the good that religions mandate. Sikhism with IRS community meals for instance. Zakat in Islam is another good example.

Peer pressure will exist regardless though. This provides as space for people to pray in private.

Why not make the prayer rooms individual rooms? Would that not solve the edge case you describe?

Great harm had been done in the name it religion but you’re overlooking the good that’s been done.

But I thought European countries were too weak to be useful in a fight?

And also if European countries weren’t willing to deploy troops to the Ukrainian theater why would they to this one

It would be sensible. But what’s the benefit?

Sounds like zelensky has the upper hand. I blow up Russian oil and gas or you give me more weapons to blow up Russian positions and tanks

It’s being taken to an extreme though. These impacts can likely be seen via satellite akin to the impacts on US bases. And I assume the Russians and Chinese are supporting them with said intel

Under what right does the US flagrantly refuse to adhere to the ICJ yet file this claim

Nah. Centrists didn’t like her either

I agree but if they win against steam they’d have an open shut case against every other online store

Also if valve looses this apple, google, and Microsoft would get sued for the same thing so I expect them to not have to fight very hard

Why does the headline leave room for interpretation instead of naming who fired those missiles?

Would be hilarious if Israel bombed something and went “what do you mean it’s an American bomb. Wasn’t us”

Also fuck zionists

Most people already fled. So it’s pretty sparsely populated right now

I swapped it out for it.

Hopefully the mods are OK with that

So he’s a sellout
