Imagine being on a planet that’s getting hotter and hotter day by day just to make some billionaires have some extra 0s in their bank account, and you get goaded into attacking a marginalised minority by the same billionaires who are killing the planet.

Imagine your entire worldview being controlled by unelected billionaires influencing your government and media.

I was at a pride event last month, and there were two guys spewing religious nonsense over a loudspeaker close enough that you could hear it from the event.

A few of the event supporters were there holding signs and blocking out the scripture duo's hate speech using their own loudspeaker.

At one point, the good guy started asking the religious nut job about why they aren't protesting against priests raping kids.

He kept asking that question until the Jesus freak, clearly irritated, yelled, "because it doesn't matter!"

That's all you have to know about these people.

Man if we could target 10% of the hate priests get for that towards teachers doing the same thing we might actually be able to protect most children from abuse.

I have an idea that could help these protesters. Surprising they never thought of this before, but they could always MIND THEIR OWN FUCKING BUSINESS AND STOP TRYING TO TELL OTHER PEOPLE WHAT TO DO!

Anti-LGBT protesters

Is that the "politically correct" term for fascists these days?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I think if anything fascist would be the politically correct term

I'd like to suggest a correctly define fascism or ban rule

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'm not sure what you mean.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

They're fascist protesters*

They might be fascists, but at least they're doing it through peaceful protest... Right? Right?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

Fuck these people.

I honestly didn't know if this would be the country or the state until I clicked these days.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Until I saw your comment I assumed it was the state.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That was my first thought too.

I was so confused when the article started mentioning the EU. Then it clicked.

We need to end all religion in the world.

Well hello there Stalin

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, it's not as if leaving religion completely in the hands of right-wingers has led to rather bad outcomes for the left, now has it?

Sigh, This is why Aliens haven't visited us yet.
