Christmas is canceled in Bethlehem because of the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Y'know, for the sake of comparison.

Look, I’m personally pro-Palestine but don’t you think this is a bit much, dropping into a completely off topic conversation to bring it up?

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 20 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

Whatever. The phrase "Christmas is cancelled" forced me to remember the fact that Christmas is literally cancelled in Bethlehem, with the articles about it often directly saying the phrase "Christmas is cancelled"

I was struck by how petty and small this whiney video is when compared to places where Christmas is literally cancelled.

[–] library_napper@monyet.cc 8 points 10 months ago

This. I assumed this video was a reference to the atrocities going on in the West Bank, the region which is where Christmas is about.

Okay, looked it up, have seen the articles now. Seems like the dumbest Christian-centric country’s media reporting I’ve seen in a while. Wake me up when Israel inevitably causes Eid al-Fitr to be cancelled again due to bombings.

Right? Crazy people says things like "we're going to kill all of you".

Clickbait bad

There are a number of browser extensions I consider myself unable to live without.

The speed control extension that adds keybinds for changing speed and allows me to go beyond 2x still tops the list, but DeArrow is a very, very close second.

Changing speed of your mouse pointer? I don't really get it.

Guy sits in front of a mic, reading 9 year old uninventive internet trolling comments.

At least it isn't plagiarism, I guess 🙄

God damn it. People really get offended by everything. But if I as Christian wants to ban Halloween then I am the fascist.

[–] synae@lemmy.sdf.org 47 points 10 months ago

Consider "not celebrating" instead of "banning" and maybe you'll be less of a fascist. Maybe.

Samhain was co-opted (into all hallows eve) by Christians to convince more celts to convert, wasn't it?

Edit: I just realized I "well actually'd"... Sorry about that. LOL

[–] guillem@aussie.zone 5 points 10 months ago

That's an actually interesting read, thank you.

[–] librecat@lemmy.basedcount.com 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Banning either is fascist, although I assume/hope you were joking.

[–] Apollo2323@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 months ago

Yes I was joking lol
