Not a lot is involved, it's just here there's such a lopsided progressive left demographic, I'd say 95% left to progressive left with only 5% centre or centre right, meaning for all intents and purposes... this is a left wing echo chamber.
You guys react the same way to me saying Gretyl is dumb the same way right wingers react when I say Trump is a used car salesman and anyone who believes him should get their brain checked out for signs of life
S'all the same to me
Based af. If you don’t echo the call, you don’t get all the epic updoots and you piss off all the other mouth-breathers.
As a leftist, this shit is RAVAGING the fuckin’ leftist cause. Why the fuck would I care about any Islamic population when if they have power — they would kill me for apostasy?
You talk about islam as though it's a monolith, which is ignorant. Have you met any muslims? Do you know the difference between the Taliban & Hamas & the gov't of Iran? Shia vs Sunni?
I hate religion as much as the next edgy leftist, but believing the genocide of a people is somehow not noteworthy or should continue unabated is reprehensible
Yes, I’ve met muslims. Yes, I’m familiar with the differences between the Taliban and Hamas, and how Hamas is an even more violent offshoot of another violent Islamic terrorist the Muslim Brotherhood. I’m familiar with the differences between Shia and Sunni. My strong distaste for Islam is, unfortunately, backed by research into the faith, its origins, and the history of its effect on populations of the world.
Didn’t say it wasn’t noteworthy, nor did I say it should continue. I only said that if it were up to them I would be dead, apostasy is punishable by death under Sharia law and atheism counts as apostasy.
Further, this is only one of many genocides going on in the world at the moment, and while still sad and condemnable, is less “effective” than others — say the genocide of the Uyghurs in China, or the countless genocidal/humanitarian crises in Africa affecting Muslims and non-muslims alike on a scale that dwarfs Palestine/Israel. How/why should I give more than a second of thought to things I have no control over and don’t affect me or my loved ones on the other side of the world? Again, tragic stuff, but tf am I gonna do? Virtue signal for internet points? Nah, enough people doing it already and it’s inescapable.
