Best news I've heard today.

I mean, if we're gonna talk politics then on the other hand we have literally the entire history of China and the Soviet Union. I mean you have an explicitly anti-religious genocide going on in China right now.

I don’t know how you expect a quantification of this answer.

Exactly, which would make the initial claim unfalsifiable. To put it another way, how would you respond if a Christian made the opposite claim, that Christians are more moral than atheists? If they said that in a Christian community, would that not be a plain circlejerk?

But examples of atheists committing hate crimes are very far and few between, while Christians, specifically Evangelicals (who are the ones with the tracts) are shockingly common.

How do you know that? Most hate crime cases make no mention of the religion of the perpetrator. Atheists are probably less likely to commit hate crimes on religious grounds for obvious reasons, but most hate crimes in America aren't religious in nature so again, citation needed.

Is this... is this your idea of a strawman? I didn't say that, but more importantly I don't even care if that's true or not; I simply don't like circlejerking and self-fellating, so if you're going to say "we're better than them y'all!" you better back that up with evidence.

That is literally not how that works. You said "a lot of atheists" and "most Christians". You're gonna need numbers to back that up, otherwise don't make unfalsifiable claims.

That is deeply, fundamentally fucked up. Canadians, consider this a warning: At this rate you won't get to say "I didn't see this coming" when you follow your neighbors down south.

Why would they ever do that? Buying a new Tesla is one thing, but using one they've already paid for doesn't benefit Musk. Why would there be a threshold for them to get rid of their perfectly fine car?

Uh... I guess that just happened. Insert that meme whre the ninja says "c'mon, do something".

Wanna flip a coin on whether it'll be Muslims or the Jews? And gays, obviously.

I think I lost a a few braincells looking at this.

"I'm not getting bought by your anti-leopard face shields! Long live leopards!"

 

You can't quite beat "gulags were paid bro," but here's more stupidity from the same thread. Apparently Nazis killed all the good communists in 1933. Like holy fuck I thought only Zionists could be this dumb.

Top: TFW when Nazi Germany wasn't Nazi.

Bottom: This mod just removed a rhetorical question because "nobody said that"???

Thread in case y'all wanna see the context. Everything below the first paragraph was added after my response.

 
 
 
 
 

One thing Trump tried to do after getting inaugurated was considering Mexican cartels terrorist organizations, and for that he was attacked by Sheinbaum for violating Mexico's sovereignty. But, at least as far as I've read on the topic (whcih is not a lot to be fair), nobody actually explains why that's the case. I mean at a glance you'd think the Mexican government would benefit from such an action, or at least I did. It's pretty obvious to me I'm missing a piece of the puzzle, so does anyone here have it?

Edit: Thanks for the answers. Now it makes sense.
