@SupremeOverlo13@hassjsb13990 To say “all the revolutionary groups that rally around religion are fundamentally stunted as such” as a person living in the United States with the recent(last 50 years) history of the Middle East in mind is so hilariously audacious and out of touch with reality.
@EcompVideo@deathslamnt@_mangrub@Shack_Rat IJBOL the history of resistance in the region is mostly one of Islamist groups succeeding and growing where secular ones fail and shrink.
But yeah bro if you were there you’d totally be climbing Merkavas it’s just geography. Not overly flip of you at all.
@EcompVideo@deathslamnt@_mangrub@Shack_Rat The stance maybe not but the practice (i.e. actually fighting against Israel and for Palestine) is an overwhelmingly Muslim phenomenon.
@Prometeo1926@Vladislava237 1. Yes
2. The limited ways a turn of the century Russian peasant could interact with religion are incomparable to like a 20 something today becoming an adult convert and infinitely more exploitative.
These people all lived pre-secular age it was obviously different back then
@bowneuroaner@AbuGangy@Kadusar@Shack_Rat The thing is, whether you subscribe to materialism or not, unless you’re a total midwit you would know it’s not a self-evident claim to make without evidence and that the alternative is not something to hand-wave. And yet you are so you reveal yourself to be stupid.
@ComieComiecomie@tovarischrex@Enbyyrevived “Movement” doesn’t just mean a literal physical war effort. Like do you know the international anti-apartheid movement in the case of South Africa? It took years and years to actually end apartheid doesn’t mean the movement didn’t exist.
