  • Marxists don't argue for a deonotological disallowing of markets, but believe that those who own the markets should not thereby own the rest of society. I'm sure even you would agree that it would be better is everyone had the comfortable position that you do -- and indeed we should move in that direction, even though we cannot simply decide that everyone will be wealthy tomorrow -- but we all must work with the conditions we find ourselves in, including to transform those conditions over time.

  • If you'd like to discuss the subject, there are many comms on a handful of instances where people would be happy to!

  • What are some commonly known facts that are too bizarre for you to believe to be true?

  • Everything is illegal in the DPRK except if you are the current Supreme Leader, in which case everything is legal.

  • Typical reply from an islamist that never left the muslim country where he lives.

    I'm an American atheist and you're a chauvinist troglodyte

    Even if 1 person benefits with the law then the law is worth it. Or do you think that the law needs to benefit everybody? The law needs to protect the most vunerable. In this case the muslim women.

    If all it did was marginally help people, that would be good. But it doesn't just do that, it also hurts people, and that's the only reason people here are arguing against it (we don't have "Haram Police" here decrying infidels). It is punishing children for adhering to a clearly mostly benign cultural practice. Yeah, we can criticize it, but that's different from indiscriminately outlawing it or framing every single girl wearing a baggy dress as a victim of child abuse, and this all fits within a larger framework of plainly anti-Muslim policy forcing people to either assimilate or have no place in public life.

  • Typical NuAtheist reactionary bullshit. Yes, mistreating someone and pressuring them to wear this or that is bad, but that includes using the law to force people who do themselves prefer to wear an abaya or whatever else to not do so. Insofar as we can even call this a legitimate issue, it is one with far greater complexity than can be solved with sledgehammer legislation, even if some people do benefit, because many do not.

    The sermon bit reminded me of Deen Squad.

  • This is like the democrats who applaud gun control even when it is used with surgical precision to prevent black communities from defending themselves from police violence. "I don't support police violence, I simply approve of gun control".

  • The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread.

  • "Just assimilate to Christian culture, Muslims. I'm anti-religion of all kinds, btw."

    You are too caught up in liberal abstraction to allow yourself to understand the material reality.

  • I'm an antitheist and, speaking as one, let me request that you pull your head out of whatever it is stuck in. France is notoriously Islamophobic and these are girls who are just wearing loose-fitting clothes because of a religious practice based on modesty. Is either the religion or the practice itself above critique? Certainly not, but forcing people not to do something so harmless is ridiculous religious discrimination.

  • There are opportunistic genocides around famines (not in this case, of course) where the attempt is taken because it is easy and not pursued further when it is difficult. Britain did this multiple times around the world.

    On the bright side, since you seemed to imagine that I was going there, you proved my point that the first claim ("why don't you move there?") is bad faith bullshit

  • For as much as the news talks about a declining birth rate, you are aware that people are still born in the west, right?

    "Move"

    You knowing moving isn't free and it isn't easy for most people to get a job in a country whose language they don't speak, right?

    Furthermore, even if someone does move, then you don't take it as proof they are a hypocrite but rather proof they are delusional, so your original claims is just bad faith bullshit.
