Saturn devouring his son but nonchalantly

One time on Bluesky I made unfortunate contact with a psycho that genuinely believed bigotry could be a good thing “if applied correctly.” It’s basically liberal MAGA over there

This stupid new slang meaning for the word can fuck off.

This is how languages evolve regardless. It doesn’t really matter if you still use ‘gay’ to describe how happy you are, you’re still going to needlessly confuse people by using it like that nowadays.

The amount of control they exercise over their congregants and money they require to stay in good standing is astronomical compared to lost other christian denominations.

Wait til you hear about how greedy the Catholic Church was before & during the Reformation. New denomination, same religion. This is just how faiths inevitably evolve.

Also Mormonism—though I hate using this aphorism because it’s not even true—is as American as apple pie, there’s really no threat to be spoken of here in the usual sense of the word. It’s existed for more or less 200 years now, subsisting along with every other facet of its surrounding culture. Mormonism is American society, it wouldn’t have become so widespread without it.

Tragedy of the commons.

My point is that a large part of what led to Israel being the way it is are the western values and ideals it was established specifically in mind of, namely colonialism, imperialism, and western exceptionalism. Solely getting rid of them doesn’t handle any of the root causes like that.

Yep, I think I just tend to mentally clump them together with the west as a whole tbh. That’s on me tho

No, that’s very much a part of why it’s considered taboo. Obviously there’s a wide range of difference in cultural opinion of what’s considered “okay” to eat, but dogs have still been with humans for the longest out of any domesticated animal. They’ve literally evolved to eat diets more like our own. It’s completely intuitive that there would be such vehement opposition to eating an animal we’re so historically close to, even if it’s mostly on a cultural basis.

Israel and its citizens are mistakes, and it's high time we fix that mistake.

Bloodthirsty vibes from this aside, Israel and its warmonger culture is working exactly as it was intended from the start. At best it’s just a caricaturized version of the US, which makes sense considering both of those countries’ intimate ties since the beginning.

“Solve” Israel and all anyone is doing is cutting off a branch when the rot starts at the roots. It would pretty much be a textbook example of the scapegoat mechanism. Obviously they aren’t innocent of anything, but solely removing their influence out of the equation will never change anything substantial.
