Islam is the single biggest and most misogynistic force in the world today, and it’s not even close

The big issue that I have is that muslims and Western leftists ALWAYS try to conflate criticism of islam with bigotry against muslims no matter how wrong that is. It doesn’t matter to them how valid, well thought, and factual criticism is, the label of bigotry is more often than not used as tool to censor criticism of islam rather than call out genuine bigotry. I already have people replying to me doing exactly this.

I also find it annoying just how far leftist in the West are willing to deepthroat the boot of islam, even it explicitly against them and everything they stand for. They can’t resist but defend it for whatever reason, and if they don’t defend it, then try to downplay it by trying to bring in other religions into the conversation. You’re not allowed to criticize islam on it own by its own merits, you will ALWAYS get people that try to whatabout with Christainity and Judaism, as if that changes anything about islam. Other religions have their shitty elements and those should be discussed under posts about them, but when we have posts about islam, we need to criticize it, by itself, for what it is.

I’m literally Arab and ex muslims, calling me a racist for criticizing islam doesn’t make me racist, it makes you a complete idiot.

I find it very frustrating how islam, and only islam, gets excused for all the shit it has. There will always be someone rushing in to defend it with type of pointless nonsense. islam is bad on its own merits, you don’t need to defend on meaningless generalizations. Just because other religions have their own shitty verses that does NOT excuse, justify, or negate what’s in islam. People can and should criticize it on its own for what it is.

I’m pretty sure there was research done that showed that people who are hypothetically transported back in time, won’t be able to make any meaningful contributions to the era they go to. They will just end up integrating in that the society of that era.

Basically if you go back in time to medieval Europe, you could introduce something like paperclips to society, but you won’t be able to introduce things like computers even if you know how they work and how to use them.

As an exmuslim, I’m disappointed in this comment section.

islam is NOT your friend. Simping for it just shows that you’re either ignorant or you’re hypocrite with not prinicples. islam, as an ideology is so unbelievably vile that it’s a very strong contender for being the worst ideology in history. Pedophilia, sex slavery, rape, misogyny, wife beatings, normal slavery, genocide, terrorism, homophobia, violent colonialism, apartheid governance, censorship, intentional discrimination and hatred, and barbaric capital punishment are all explicitly allowed and encouraged in the islamic scriptures.

This is not just me making things up, I can literally show you either verses from the quran, sahih hadiths, or both explicitly allow and encourage every single one of these. I’m against bigotry and bigots, however, I am also against those who cover for them. In this case, islam is just as bigoted, if not more bigoted, than the person in the post, and the people covering for islam aren’t any better. I will always stand tall and proud on the side of people who exercise their right to free speech to criticize islam, and expose the religion for what it is, despite the dangers of doing so.

What I said doesn’t just apply to this conflict, it applies to everything political these days, and this mentality is so prevalent that it’s actually starting degenerate our societies.

I find these bullshit false dichotomies to be beyond annoying. Stop trying to kill nuance, it’s not either or. Two things can be bad at the same time with different extents. Acknowledging this fact allows you to take in more context and actually form a principled point of view rather than a reactionary one. Lemmy is filled to the brim with pissing matches that boil down to “WhAt aBoUt ThIs GuY?!?!” because everything is oversimplified and reactionary.

Case in point lmao

I’m gonna keep it real with you. You’re going to see the same problems no matter which instance you end up on.

I have no idea who you are, and I don’t care. However, purely looking at your account history and modlog, you seem like a generally unpleasant person. You come off as someone who picks fights and can’t take criticism. The way you act is rude, hostile, and annoying. You also seem to be into some weird conspiracies, which makes you look unhinged. That’s probably why you keep getting banned. You’re not being banned for being a woman or a feminist, but because you break a lot of rules, at least according to the modlog.

My point is that it doesn’t matter which instance or platform you go to. You’re the common denominator. Obviously, that doesn’t mean people should harass you, but it does mean you’re at least partly responsible for how people interact with you. Lemmy is usually a chill place if you avoid politics, and even then, most people are nice as long as you’re civil. From what I see people are just treating you the way you treat them, so there’s a good chance that your problems might follow you on a new instance.

Damn, she got exposed lmao. You’re doing the lord’s work be sharing this with the community, thank you.

This is why I and most other users on this site actively avoid interacting with you. You’re an illiterate moron who painfully ignorant with a stick up his ass. I’m done wasting my time on you, you’re going to be ignored again.

The very first “real” water war is going to break out in Central Asia within the next few years. Iran, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Pakistan, and Turkmenistan are ALL having major water scarcity issues, they all rely on water intensive crops and industries to fuel their economies, they’re all trying to ramp up production despite being on the brink, they’ve all had decades of mismanagement, and a lot of their water sources are shared. In other words, these countries are so authoritarian, so corrupt, and their water resources are so horribly mismanaged that things are actually looking really bleak over there. If I was a betting man I would bet that the next major war is going to start there.

I usually avoid commenting on your replies in other posts because it’s a waste of time, but I’ll make an exception here to demonstrate your complete lack of moral integrity.

sorry whatever is happening in Tibet is certainly awful

You should’ve stopped your comment here. This would’ve been a very principled position against genocides that would’ve demonstrated that you understood the point that I was making and you would’ve demonstrated that you have moral integrity. But then you decided to continue…

but it’s not carpet bombing civilians.

Now, your position is less principled because you’re trying to turn genocides into some sort of competition. Instead of condemning them all outright out of principle, you’re trying to determine which genocides better or worse than the others which not only demonstrates that you didn’t understand my point, but it also shows that you care more about pushing your ideology than the actual genocides themselves. As bad as this is, at least you admit that what’s happening in Tibet is still awful, you should’ve really stopped here, but of course you didn’t…

Beside that whole Ukraine shit is instigated by the oligarchs from both side. Yeltsin was in Washington 3 days before the ussr coup. Putin is a corrupted capitalist cunt like von der leyen is a corrupted capitalist cunt

Why? Why would you say something so mind numbingly ignorant? If you are adamant about what Israel is doing in Gaza is a genocide regardless of nuance or context, one would think you would apply this standard consistently to other conflicts out of principle… yet you don’t. If you wanted to argue that Gaza is worse than Tibet for the sake agenda pushing, fine, whatever, but this? This just shows that you have no principles, no morals, no values, no consistency, nothing.

The Ukraine war is the clearest and most clear cut example of genocide in the world today. Ukraine was attacked by Russia completely unprovoked, Russia has explicitly stated their goal is to erase Ukraine, they kidnapped over 700k children, they killed tens of thousands of civilians, they systematically razed a quarter of the country, and they have been intentionally trying to destroying civilian infrastructure for almost 4 years now. This is despite the West doing their best to buddy up to Russia even after they illegally invaded Georgia in 2008 and illegally annexed Crimea in 2014. One would think you would apply the same standard you have for Israel on Russia, but you don’t. Now it’s suddenly “both sides” and the fault isn’t with the aggressor but with “capitalism”, “Washington”, “oligarchs”… even though there’s less nuance and context necessary to understand this conflict. You’re so slimy its gross.

You come back to this post after 4 months for whatever reason just to write this? Wow, whatever education system you went through failed you because your level of ignorance is genuinely painful.

I’ll explain in the simplest way that I can. Ethnic purity as a concept has existed long before Nazi Germany. There have been countless ideologies before Nazism about getting rid of ethnic minorities to achieve this goal, and a lot of them have been enacted. Want examples? Look at the Armenian genocide or the Circarssian genocide or Holodomor or the Assyrian genocide or the endless of racially motivated genocides before the Nazis. The point is that the Nazis were NOT the first to commit genocide with the explicit goal of ethnic purity.

You got your other account banned, eh? Not surprising, but ban evasion is against the rules here

You’re literally brain dead lmao

I mean that’s a completely fair point of view. If we make the assumption that humanity will continue to progress with time, even if there are periods of regression, then I could see where you’re coming from. Humanity did evolve from being nomadic tribes to creating settlements of tribes to creating nations from settlements to creating empires from nations to today where we’re forming unions of empires and nations. It’s logical to think that with time we’ll have these unions merge and create a higher authority, and if we follow this trajectory it should eventually lead to a global government. I just hope we don’t go extinct before that happens.

A global government at it’s core is a form of imperialism. The idea is going to pushed by specific regions who stand to gain the most and it’ll opposed by region who stand to gain the least. No matter what shape the global government takes on, it will always be dominated by a select number of regions. Where the seats of government are going to be, who enforces its laws, who makes up the government, what ideals it would embody, how the voting system is set up, what degree of autonomy can be granted and who grants it, and so on these are things that have to be forced upon people by an authority that seeks to monopolize violence. Imperialism as a concept of where a nation spreads expanding it’s influence and power isn’t inherently bad, but based on human history this is an idea that can get bad pretty quick. I don’t think a global government can be implemented without a great deal of push back, resistance, and force to squash it all.

This is the dumbest thing I’ve read all day lmao.

Idk how historically illiterate you are, but direct democracy HAS been used plenty of times throughout history. Native American tribes like Muscogee, Swiss Cantons, and even early colonial New England towns all used direct democracy. There are plenty of examples of it being used, however, it’s only ever been implemented successfully on small scales. Technology isn’t a limiting factor and never was, it’s only a limiting factor when it’s implemented on really large scales due to the logistics, however, the issues of logistics go BEYOND just technological limitations. You would think that this is just common knowledge, but apparently not.

But if you’re genuinely incapable of comprehending any of the points that I made then you’re not qualified for this conversation.
