I don't believe for an instant that any of these people believe in any of their religions, just use them as means to justify their own vile sentiment and actions.

[-] remotelove@lemmy.ca 24 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It's worse. They completely believe their religions and it's their god that commands them to kill the sinners. It's a rationalization feedback loop: They are just doing what they are told to be proper religious folk.

That's not a valid excuse. We didn't accept it when the nazis said they were just following orders, and we won't accept it now.

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world -1 points 1 week ago

We totally accepted it when Americans said they were following orders, though.

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

........when did we do that?

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Probably would be easier to say when did we not?

The most notable example that comes to mind is the guy who perpetrated the My Lai massacre getting house arrest, that only happened because of leaked documents going public.

But it's not the only one. Our soldiers love to take selfies with human trophies, and nothing meaningful happens when they do.

[-] zigmus64@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Absolutely this… they believe it zealously, and the ends justify the means.

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

This shit is just self serving. They'll believe whatever is convenient to excuse their shitty behaviour.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

That's not what the religion they claim to follow teaches, so no, they don't believe in their religion. They believe in the insane ramblings of politically motivated scammers.

[-] khaleer@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 day ago

Did you ever read the bible texts?

So it's probably time for a review.

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Fascists are fascists. It doesn't matter what particular holy book they wave around.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

That's blatantly apparent by them not following literally any of the teachings of Jesus. These people are anti-christ.

[-] linkshandig@lemm.ee 34 points 1 week ago

Yes, the billionaires

[-] ChihuahuaOfDoom@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

There have to be exceptions to that rule, has anyone spoken to god lately to ask for clarification?

[-] dyathinkhesaurus@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Their god tells them whatever they most want to hear

[-] ChihuahuaOfDoom@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Their god tells them that they want to be queer.

I suppose I better start dating men, who am I to question god?

Godspeed 🫡

This is probably very shallow and naive but...

I just completely fail to comprehend how any non- white person could be a MAGA supporter, or just conservative in general.

It just seems like a complete failure to understand the fundamentals of the political divide.

As in... Trump would send you back to Africa if it turned out he couldn't enslave you.

[-] SeikoAlpinist@slrpnk.net 9 points 1 week ago

Colonized minds only see power in the behavior of their oppressor. So to become powerful like them, mimic their behavior and you will gain acceptance.

[-] Brickhead92@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Until you aren't anymore.

[-] hanrahan@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 week ago

I don't understand how anyone is, how callous to your fellow humans do you have to be?

That aside, even white woman are in on the hate... Even of other woman ffs

That said, most people don't think at all. They just go along with it

Susan Sontag was asked what she had learned from the Holocaust, and she said that 10% of any population is cruel, no matter what, and that 10% is merciful, no matter what, and that the remaining 80% could be moved in either direction” —Kurt Vonnegut

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I don't understand how any person regardless of color could be a maga supporter. They're openly hostile to everything that benefits ordinary people, and also very open about taking any money saved from cutting programs and giving it to the 0.1%. How can someone support that? How can someone go "hell yes! Poison the planet and steal my social security so that Musk can have even more money! Fuck yeah, brother!"? It makes zero sense.

As in... Trump would send you back to Africa if it turned out he couldn't enslave you.

You can't send someone "back" to somewhere they've never been. African Americans have been here almost as long as Caucasians.

The "send back to africa" part was sarcasm.

In Australia "go back to where you came from" is the catch cry of xenophobes. There was a hate group in the 00's that literally wanted to deport anyone of Asian descent, regardless of their migration status.

[-] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 week ago

They gonna find out that the left isn't exactly unarmed.

[-] PunnyName@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Those armed leftists need to start working on the fucking Heritage Foundation.

[-] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 week ago

Good luck getting anyone in the left to act first. Hell, I'm crazy as a shithouse rat, and I wouldn't start a war until there's no other choice.

Sadly, I think it will take active violence to stir resistance among the armed left to actually fight. It'll be reactionary rather than revolutionary.

[-] PunnyName@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Might be too late then. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

There's never a single catalyst, a shining moment where they've clearly crossed the line. It's a 1000 baby steps over the line, until gassing Jews seems like just another tiny change in a long line of changes.

[-] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

A man gets a bit of recognition in his tiny corner of the universe and starts believing he is god.

[-] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

For once, I agree with the message.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Isn't this illegal? Inciting violence is a crime afaik.

[-] hanrahan@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 week ago

Unless you're white and in the GOP, then it's any other day of the week

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Race has nothing to do with it. The guy is black anyways...

[-] taanegl@beehaw.org 1 points 1 week ago

Some folks need firing practice... for when these fucks show up.
