dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

I don't think your actual point is "opposing religious oppression is racist" so could you clarify?

[–] la_tasalana_intissari_mata@hexbear.net 21 points 6 days ago (2 children)

he's not talking about religious oppression, he's talking about not having religions at all, the protestors in Iran are not opposing religious oppression, they're mossad agents and monarchists. My point is that if your reaction to anything happening in the middle east is "this because of religion" you're a racist, just like if you said "this is because of judaism" when talking about the zionist entity you'd be an anti-semite.

Funny how this kind of NuAtheism "all religions must be abolished right now" stuff exclusively seems to focus on how Islam as a religion is especially bad and needs to be eradicated. I'm reminded of the liberal "Actually I hate both China and the US, two things can be true at once" thing.

I wanna see Reddit atheists apply "all religions must be abolished right now" to Judaism, an Abrahamic religion that worships the same god as Islam.

Okay yeah that's fair. Thanks for clarifying!
