الدبكة الفضائيّة (قصّة قصيرة) 🧵
(١)
"يا معشر البشر، لقد أتينا مسالمين. إن أطلقتم علينا النّار أطلقنا عليكم النّار، وأسلحتنا تهزم أسلحتكم. يا معشر البشر، لقد أتينا مسالمين، ونريد التحدث مع قائدكم."
هكذا كان الصّوت يأتي من جميع الاتجاهات، في أحد أيام الخميس، في كل مكان من الكرة الأرضية، وبلغات مختلفة واحدة تلو الأخرى. الصور على الأخبار تظهر السفينة الفضائية في السماء فوق نيو يورك.
OK let’s assume it’s not your fault to be rude. You’re still rude. Is that something you’re happy about?
It’s like you’re a victim of this tweet — somehow it magically corrupted your character and now you need outside help to cure you of your newly(?) founded rudeness.
Or — nobody forced you to write those words and you had a choice to do so or not and still you chose rudeness.
@MDSebach@_Zaraquin Why not just call them by what they are instead of insulting them? There is a lot to point out in their moral character but insulting them means they can insult you back and then both parties lose.
@JohnRad15@RockChartrand@Grok plot a graph (in the form of an image) of the global poverty rate from the year 0 till this year, and draw a vertical line marking where capitalism starts.
@BenBayer@Romantic_Artist This same person has supported Assad in the past.
No correction or apology has been issued (to my knowledge) after the new leadership in Syria proved to be much less cruel than Assad.
Unfortunately, Bashar al-Assad or other "corrupt" Arab leaders who have established the ideology of slavery and oppression are the only alternative to ISIS and Islamists. These societies, whose collective consciousness has been shaped by generations of religious superstition and sacred pre-Islamic traditions, will never be able to bring a normal person to power. Rather, their choice will always be ISIS. Therefore, as we stand torn between the hammer and the anvil, we find ourselves forced to stand with Bashar in the face of these terrorist groups that claim patriotism, while in reality they are fighting to support religion! Believe them when they say, "Allah is our goal... and Muhammad is our role model... and death in the way of Allah is our highest aspiration"! They are exactly like Hamas, which claims to defend the land while it is motivated by religious hatred for the Jews
@i2013ii وهذا ما نسميه بالكفر (وليس فقط الخطأ)، فهو محاولة صريحة لتغطية الحقيقة واستعمال العقل للوصول للباطل بدل الحق.
والكفر توبته صعبة… أغلب الكفار إن لم يكن جميعهم الذين رأيتهم في حياتي يبقون كفّارًا للأبد.
It's always "greed" when prices go up, but somehow never "generosity" when prices come down.
Prices aren't moral judgments. They're signals shaped by supply, demand, costs, and competition.
If high prices are proof of greed, then lower prices must be proof of charity. Or maybe neither is true, and "greed" is just the slogan people use whenever they don't like the price.
