This isn't really new though, it's just saying the quite part out loud. always-has-been.gif.

Neoliberalism is the cause of the decay and paved the way for fascism. If you let large conglomerates own everything including news media and social media and then sell access to spew vile hate speech and disinformation to people, the current result is to be expected. It's actually kind of refreshing that they actually come out and say it.

These people also don't believe in equality, they believe inequality of humans is fundamentally morally correct. Neoliberals believe in inequality based on class/wealth, fascists believe in inequality based on identity like race or gender.

The true sin is ignorance and neglect.

Cowards fear empathy and maim their own capacity for it, because experiencing the pain of others hurts. Being surrounded by extreme, intolerable pain is the most difficult part of being vegan.

probably because he's echoing what Elon said about empathy

I find it more than a little humorous that their defining attribute for the last hundred years is so easily abandoned

appreciate the message, but God can we please not share pizza cake comics on Lemmy, none of them were funny on Reddit and they're not funny here.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 6 days ago

Look, on many things, we probably agree. Maybe even more important things.

And I don't even love this comic, its just, fine, its whatever.

That said I upvoted this comic to spite you and your comment here, because I don't like your sentiment that people can't like and share things that they like because your hipster instinct kicked in.

To be fair this is on comic strips not funny - there is no commitment to this being funny.

Humor is fairly subjective. You don't want content because you don't like it? That's fundamentally against the concept of what Lemmy represents. This isn't a website to cater to your whims.

"apparently a right-wing [person] said this" is low-quality content, gets my downvote. Such an unspecific comment serves only to outgroup people.

Cmiiw but isn’t the irony in the right also deeming Trump too dumb to be a threat to democracy? The thought of an articulate Trump that doesn’t make these sloppy mistakes paired with a steroids version of the dizzying policy reform this admin shells out…. 🏳️

Evangelicals Are Now Rejecting 'Liberal' Teachings of Jesus

"Multiple pastors tell me, essentially, the same story about quoting the Sermon on the Mount, parenthetically, in their preaching'turn the other cheek'[and] to have someone come up after to say, 'Where did you get those liberal talking points?'" Moore said.

"When the pastor would say, 'I'm literally quoting Jesus Christ' ... The response would be, 'Yes, but that doesn't work anymore. That's weak," he added. "When we get to the point where the teachings of Jesus himself are seen as subversive to us, then we're in a crisis."

And people dont understand why I say the orange clown is an Antichrist and may be the Antichrist.

The doomed by a perfect circle is very disturbing accurate.

Every time I see that I'm so skeeved out. Like I understand needing to close your heart's empathy to deceivers. It's something I've had to do with abusers who play on pity. But this is language that you use to prepare people to do evil

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

Notably, I don't think folks would consider Christian teaching would not explicitly declare that you should hate (that part is usually just implied).

Generally what they say is that while you shouldn't just yield and let "bad" people walk all over you and society, you shouldn't "hate" them either.

This sounds like Warhammer 40K flavour text. How can anyone write this and think that they are the good guy?

"I hate you guys, kill yourself" said Jesus probably during daylight saving time because he didn't sleep enough.
