Can we make Bubba Bolsheviks a thing?

[-] dhork@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

The Bolsheviks were definitely anti-capitalist and generally rejected religion.

Today's Republican party is indistinguishable from Al-Qaeda and the Taliban, except for the religion they promote and their headwear. They all want to see their countries adopt a theocratic government with their beliefs as the beliefs of the country as a whole.

I'd like to see these guys run. A fifty yard dash, even.

I'd refer to the xtian Taliban a lot on certain forums and I'd get butthurt reactions (and people trying to get my comment deleted or me banned) from the magabrained - one claim was that xtianity and the Taliban/Islam are diametrically opposed (lol). The other was the usual whining over the shorthand of "xtian".

What the xtianists don't really seem to realize - or don't want to acknowledge - is that they and the extremist Muslim are only separated by the most minor of doctrinal things that a lot of people simple don't care about - whether Jesus is or is not the son of their god (the same god, by the way, since both are Abrahamic cults), or whether you eat bacon or not doesn't really fucking matter if you plan on doing the same kinds of things to at-risk groups - trans, gays, women, etc - all in the name of the same god as the other group - again, which is the same exact god - Jehovah, Yahweh, Allah, all the same thing.

Also, the shorthand of "xtian" comes from the xtians themselves, lol.

The xtianists absolutely fucking hate it when this is pointed out to them. Again, all factual, they cannot refute it. That's why they want it silenced.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
