  • Government running lotteries and using the money for something good for the masses is so much better than letting bookies run their businesses.

    Gambling has an appeal to some people. Others never feel the need to buy a ticket. Both are equally respected, valid members of society.

    Religious folks often have an objection to gambling for dogmatic reasons. They don’t get to ban the fun for everyone else just because they feel they have all the divine solutions to humanity’s problems. Regulate the crap out of it though.




  • than anybody is willing to admit.

    Only on the Left. They’ve convinced themselves pronouns and genders are the most important and fundamental issue in life. Tokenism is more important than tackling genuine issues related to the struggles of lgbt+. Pointing out homophobia in islam is “islamophobic” and “racist” by default. You’re not supposed to say that white supremacist gays and lesbians exist and they hide behind a rainbow flag to avoid scrutiny all the time.

    If you disagree then you’re a “fascist”.

    Left in USA can’t expect Republicans to tackle the issues of workers and poor. Left expects workers, poor, lgbt+ and non-white people to STFU and vote blue no matter who. “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.”

    It’s far easier to pretend everyone is evil if they don’t agree with the newest piece of fringe leftist progressiveism and purity tests.



  • The foreign relations are already fkd. Other countries aren’t sitting on their hands, waiting for Donald to throw another fit. Democrats have to decide if they’ll do something about the concerns of the workers.

    Poor, pissed off voters who felt like nothing ever changes were successfully duped by orange. They didn’t all gravitate towards the worst aspects of maga. It’s easier to write it all off as racism than to listen to their grievances.

    Is the Right going to help move things towards the Left? No. Of course no. The Left isn’t doing much other than neoliberal “free-market” crony-capitalism either. Their feet need to be held to fire and reminded they have a lot to lose as well if another Trump is elected again.




  • Those “islamic takeover of the west” assholes are just as repulsive to me.

    Muslim women getting targeted infuriates me as much as any normal person.

    What’s lost in political correctness sometimes is fundamentalists who make life difficult for muslim women who don’t want to wear the clerical mandated uniform.

    The call to prayer thing isn’t a big concern. Muslim conservatives keep trying to get permission to do the call to prayer and people push back against it. You often get accused of racism if you’re against it.

    They’re allowed to do it for themselves in mosque but they insist on doing it public and force everyone to listen to it whether they like it or not.



  • I’m not holding Christianity above any others I’m well aware of all the crap in Judeo-Christian traditions as well.

    Habit, miters, kippah, Anabaptist traditions are all respected then what’s the issue with Somalis or Sikhs wearing their turbans?.

    I’m also aware of women that got assaulted or killed by religious fundamentalists for not covering up properly. I’m not pushing racist ideas. There’s still gotta be room to air out religious laundry without being a racist bigot.




  • You gotta read into religious scriptures and their weird rituals. Nothing racist, it’s a thing in every religion, culture, ethnicity… not limited to any race.

    Women were forced to go live away in a segregated spot during menstruation and it’s still happening in some places today.

    It’s possible to not be racist and still highlight or mock the absurdity of those things
