If you agree with something I said and are looking at this, then hey like-minded person. If you disagree and are looking at this, then you lost the argument.
@tfzno_aughhhhh@rahulkatl@OptimoPrincipi If you think this film is just about an ancient Greek epic, you need to think harder. Might give you some insight into the interpretive choices made.
@ifindfvckt4rds@esjesjesj - The US was founded by people who were Christians
- The US Constitution explicitly:
~ bans religious tests for public office
~ guarantees the free exercise of religion
~ prohibits government from establishing a religion
All of the above is true
Hope that helps๐
@davpol8112@MichaelRosenYes How interesting that you would:
1. Falsely conflate "Muslim" with "Israeli"
2. Choose Muslim as your example religion for other imperialistic states
Meanwhile Christianity is like . . .
@DisDiscourse@tonywalker1@pewresearch Even within the right,hence the fracture in the American right between the populist right (distrusts elites, foreign policy lobbying and concentration of power) and the religious right (cultural/ religious affinity with Israel). This is what the America First vs MAGA is about.
@GermanEmbassy What if showing it every year *is* the joke, and every year it's shown the joke becomes more and more absurd, which is the whole point! ๐
@MikeRouah@samaabouha@FranceskAlbs For anyone interested in useful information (rather than pro-Israeli slop trying to conflate being Jewish with Zionism) here's an eloquent summary of:
1) why Jewish =/= Zionist
2) the issue with Zionist ideology
@RobertFreundLaw@aphysicist Can't see any direct incitements to commit violence.
So if passages from the Bible and sermons from his local pastor were identified as the "inspiration" for his violent actions, would that constitute a failing by local religious leaders in its duties to the public? If not, why?
@1DigitalC@RobertFreundLaw@armor123123 No difference between this and people "communicating" with a super being who exists outside of space and time, but has "revealed" how they should live, which they try to follow to the letter, and they're willing to kill people who say that *their* super being is much better.
@camkasky@TBallKnower Take the jacket off. Roll your shirt sleeves up.
Still smart, and becoming of a future member of Congress, but makes you approachable with a "let's get to work" vibe ๐
Shouldn't matter, but it does.
Good luck.
@JonesHowDareYou@ChrisMinnsMP Religious groups can start collating data right now, e.g:

Want to arming Jewish groups because of anti-Jewish hate crimes. Cool, then you need to create armed Muslim groups too for the same reason.
Call their bluff.
@JonesHowDareYou@ChrisMinnsMP Force local and national government into a position where they :
1) have to do the same for everyone (impractical)
2) don't do it for anyone (job done)
3) openly admit they're only willing to do it for Jewish groups (kindling for an even bigger political firestorm)
@peanut_astro@DrHWazir@jimmycarr - Numbers matter, but demand is driven *more* by ageing and multimorbidity, not headcount, and net migration fell to 204k in YE Jun 2025 (from 649k).
- Emigration of under 35s is a concern, but "have more babies" won't affect staffing for 20+ years. There's a capacity issue now.
