He truly is one of the most evil figures from this time, though horrifyingly most people in Israel agree with his positions they just don’t like Netanyahu himself.

Anyone who has talked about religion with an evangelical Christian can tell you this. They have to shut off (or severely cripple) the critical thinking part of their psyche, otherwise their entire worldview falls apart. And they cannot let that happen at all costs.

This is not purely a result of religion or else everyone who is religious would be like this?

I appreciate you actually linking evidence but I think philosophically your point fails.

It is a mistake to think the most popular cults are religious, this is about a pattern of thinking not whether you believe or don’t believe in a floating deity in the sky.

Idiots are more likely to interpret religion literally, but outside of that we are talking metaphors and morality stories, which ok… I honestly don’t understand why the absolute reality of those things is actually relevant. Dissecting religion that way entirely misses the point for most people.

That is not proof, be specific and use your words.

Believing in god is not harmless

Where is your proof of that?

It is like dodging a ball right? Sounds easy.

It bears repeating. Pete Hegseth is terrible.

I have met an exhausting amount of conservative atheists who hate organized religion with a passion but don’t understand how they just replaced a blind worship of a silly god with a blind worship of hate and exclusion of others who aren’t like you.

I agree, the people in power know what they are doing, but in order for the attractiveness of edgey atheism to work it needs a constant influx of righteous formerly religious idiots to maintain the facade.

Rightwing atheism, and atheists overly hostile to religion are just as insufferable as religious extremists.

If you do not believe in God as I do not, here is how to see things.

The least compelling question about religion is whether God exists or not.

Any other question you want to hyperfocus on with religion, ok, fine, criticize it, research it, expose the hypocrises inherent… but whatever you do nobody gives a shit that you don’t think God exists or that you think people are stupid for believing in a God and a bunch of silly rules.

Organized religion OBVIOUSLY has done unbelievable amounts of evil, I am not defending it but rightwing Atheists completely miss the point by insisting on being helpless, idiotic and hateful sheep in wolves clothing.

My bad, the way you posted it felt like you were kind of trying to troll me by posting an AI response that disagreed with what I said in an annoying way lol and I did not get you were making that point.

True, but this isn’t an accident either. AI is most prevalent in places where authenticity and meaning have already been destroyed by late stage capitalism.

Email writing? There was no fucking humanity left in it before AI came along, it was already a mess of language forms that only complexified over time making a judgement of how to convey something short and simple an extended process of trying to guess what the correct social norms are to employ in that situation.

I hope email and job applications become hopelessly flooded with AI crap, they both deserve to die as a forms of humans communicating with humans as there is no reality, no meaning left to these mediums of interaction. AI is just an underlining of that pre-existing enshittification of communication which boths means blaming AI is missing the point and also that blaming AI IS the point because it is just the newest form of cancer in our society from a long, storied line of dangerous bullshitters and their tools of violence against meaning.

Edit what a perfect example of how fake and fluff filled AI writing is.

All of that could just have been said with “Don’t blame the tool, blame the person using it”

Hey I have an app called HegSaid which I made to support Pete where every speech he is made is translated into a language bros like me and you can actually understand, and not all military policy wonk, complicated stuff professionals like Pete Hegseth use which hurts your brain.

All you have to do is take a picture of a Coors Lite beer you have postmarked for the mail to Pete Hegseth’s office and in return the AI will translate a Hegseth speech for you into an approachable format even someone who isn’t a warfighter can understand.

Agreed

Palantir & Pals

A russian battalion commander who is so out of touch with their frontlines because they have blindly sent their troops to their deaths that they walk out waving at a literal Leopard thinking it is friendly right before it all ends… seems nearly the ultimate Leopards Ate My Face moment? We aren’t talking about some random grunt here, this is a kingpin piece being dismantled in an apparatus of terror.

‘Leopards Eating Faces’ is if nothing if not the idea of tonnes of consequences right?

Language is a wave, not a set of laws. There is no static thing you can identify as a law within a language, only a summary of how a language tends to be expressed by its speakers at any given moment.

The are no laws to language, this isn’t physics, you understood what was being communicated and yet you chose to make an issue out of it.

Apparently soon after it became the neglected responsibility of adults to parent billionaires.

Hey hey hey lets not talk about that!

Ooooh look a queer highschooler is trying to play sports! Panic!!!

It isn’t like creepy rightwing ultrawealthy men with shadowy connections to pedophiles and other criminals own those companies they are uploading the photos to!

Oh wait…
