    Shoved down their throats makes it sound like a personal attack when it’s just people existing in certain places, and yes, it is bigoted to want to be free of Islam in the United States, like, hear yourself, you want an entire belief structure eliminated from your country.

      It’s not bigoted. Normalizing fully veiled women means normalizing suppression of women rights. Especially the left should be against that, or that’s what I thought.

        Yes, the normalisation of women wearing veils is messed up, I was talking about the “free of Islam in America” bit.

          I kind of think we should stop normalizing all death cults, including the abrahamic faiths.

          It’s not okay for grown adults to pretend magic is real. Superstition is killing us, magical thinking makes accountability impossible.

          Obviously zionism is wrong and harmful. But how do you tell that to the zionists, who have exactly as much evidence for their god as anyone else does? Deadly delusion is protected. We need to reevaluate our priorities. Truth can unite us. Religion encourages people to make up their own truth, sowing endless division with no discernable standards.

            It’s the belief that your delusion and only your delusion is correct thats the problem. If people want to believe in cmforting fairy tales let them. Republicans exist and we all need some comfort from that.

              Instead of placating ourselves with bullshit, instead of hiding like cowards, we need to take honest stock of the situation and do everything we can to fight back.

              They are killing us.

    I agree with Gad Saad, however, I would like to add that beyond just Islam there’s an even bigger religion haunting the First Nations as every small town across seems to have the presence of Christianity and Euro-Americans, even in places where you’d never expect it.
    First nations people have a right to not have Christianity shoved down their throats constantly or is it bigoted to want them to be free of Usonia and Canada?

    I find in most cases someone using the phrase “shoved down your throat”, whatever they’re complaining about is nonsense.

    Muslim people exist, and these fucks think that means their religion is being shoved down their throats.

    Meanwhile, we’ve got people like that preacher lady holding air passengers hostage as she spouts off about Christianity.

    I wish actual Nazis got that treatment. Unfortunately they seem to be becoming GOP staffers. Actual antisemitism seems to be largely ignored. That’s why the fasc of all stripes continues to need the boot in a more personal fashion.
