Where should we be putting our efforts? Where should we be putting our focus? I’ll tell you where our enemies are putting it. They’re putting it on the kids.
It’s no wonder, with that kind of intense training and discipling, that those young people are ready to kill themselves for the cause of Islam. I wanna see young people who are as committed to the cause of Jesus Christ as the young people are to the cause of Islam. I wanna see them as radically laying down their lives for the Gospel as they are over in Pakistan and Israel and Palestine and all those different places, you know, because we have… excuse me, but we have the truth!
It’s really interesting. In a real life they want the picture above, and in video games they want every woman to be a model and showing as much skin as possible.
Further widening the canyon between the two parties with this kind of cynical and dishonest takes isn’t just unproductive - it’s counterproductive. Fake internet points aren’t that valuable.
If material analysis wIdEns ThE cAnYoN then maybe it’s necessary - distancing logical discourse from lying scheming fascists that is. If you omit the similarities between right wingers you might as well join them.
I don’t see how that furthers your cause. Quite a few have already joined them, as you might’ve noticed - and this kind of rhetoric isn’t exactly helping with that.
Republicans widened the gap themselves by repealing roe vs wade. They literally are prosecuting women for seeking maternal healthcare. Get out of here with your “both sides” bullshit.
“An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.” Feeling wronged doesn’t give you a free pass to distort reality or attack people dishonestly. You can criticize Republicans all you want - but do it with integrity. You’d rightly call them out for misrepresenting your views, so maybe hold yourself to that same standard.
And let’s not throw around accusations of “both sides” when your own response jumped straight to whataboutism. If you care about the truth, it should apply consistently.
Oh sorry, how many planned parenthood’s have been bombed in the past decade? How’s that for “integrity.” When republicans don’t like something, they resort to actual terrorism. What regime does that remind you of? One that suppresses women’s voice. Stones them for infidelity. Ring any bells?
The courts have deemed a women’s life less important than their unborn child. What’s next?
I’m not defending Republican policies, and I’m not denying that there are real issues worth being angry about. What I’m calling out is the way you’re choosing to express that anger - by making exaggerated, tribalistic jabs that shut down conversation and treat an entire group as cartoon villains.
There’s only one side that’s tribalistic and that’s the right. If you break down politics enough, there’s only two ways really - for the vulnerable or for those in power. Each side has a multitude of different approaches, but people who chose the path to the right are ultimately all fighting against the weak, the powerless, the discriminated. If you don’t call that out, you’re complicit.
You can argue that one side is worse than the other all day long - but that’s not what I was talking about. I’m pointing out that reducing an entire group to caricatures and using that to justify dishonest or hostile behavior isn’t helpful. It shuts down conversation and feeds the same tribal mindset you claim to oppose.
Republicans drool at the thought of this.
The ultimate projection, this entire time, has been their hatred of Islam. They’re jealous of Sharia Law.
2026 will be the year of Levitical law.

Maybe we are not so different, in a warld where you are not so brown, we could even be friends

Crying for “civil discourse” neuters popular resistance. It has to be as clear as possible which side is the wrong side.
And you can make it clear without lies or misrepresentation.
