that nazi trash got what he deserved
Progressive Politics
Welcome to Progressive Politics! A place for news updates and political discussion from a left perspective. Conservatives and centrists are welcome just try and keep it civil :)
(Sidebar still a work in progress post recommendations if you have them such as reading lists)
Promoting hate just to get rich. Conservatives are ugly on the inside & the outside.
it's not to just get rich. They hate you, and want you to die. Things like that make them happy. Your suffering, pain, and those of your family. You're either them, or you deserve to die for not being them. That's how nazis work. The religion doesn't matter, but we've all seen how catholic nazis work in nazi Italy, and how christian nazis work in nazi Germany. All nazis fully supported by their hate churches, of course.
Except that one guy, who was fine with the hate against communists, labor unions, romani, jews, and disabled people. Until they came for him, and then he was really upset that nobody stood up for him. He was a church person too, but eventually became the wrong type of church person. Many such cases.
Just one of thousands of hate preachers indoctrinating the local population (and children) with the exact same extremist religious propaganda. Only religious extremists do this, and there are only religious extremists of religions that exist. Stop supporting religions. ALL of them.
Not really sure what you are trying to say, but it sounds like you are way too focused on religion being a source for extremism in the world. Yeah there are religious extremists, but every movement has them, or at least has potential for extremists who indoctrinate kids or even advocate for violence against the detractors or enemies of the movement. Always has been and always will be.
I think the reason it looks like religion motivates violent extremism is because the demography of the people most vulnerable to extremist propaganda are also more likely (statistically) to be more religious.
What about the demography makes them more vulnerable? I assume you are referring to a study of some kind.

There are numerous analyses which show the same link between economic vulnerability, high birth rate, and extremism. Which is why the right wing are always chopping away at support programs, economic development, and birth control.
I was only allowed to read the first page, but it was really focused on poor Islamic countries. But hold on, are you suggesting that the right wing policies are intentional, with the goal of making extremists? Seems really simplistic and narrow in scope.
Oftentimes the simplest answer is the right one
"Too focused" on the original Us vs. Them indoctrination machine? Are you high, naive, or just that stupid? ("All of the above" is also an option, of course.)
Well op said all of the extremists were religious. Since that isn't true and there are many examples to the contrary throughout history, I think it's safe to say that he was too focused on religion.
De mortuis nil nisi bonum. But still...
Not as strong as it should be. Some speech should be exterminated. Divisive lies for hatred and anticonstitutional genocide makes democracy dysfunctional. Trump having been jailed during last Presidency was both deserved and more democratic. Reaction to the shooting that is criticism of Kirk has an extermination movement ranging from cancel/firings to calls for civil war and genocide of everyone threatened by Kirk. There will be no political retributions for Americans cheering Putin's death, and establishment would get ultra aggressive if in Hitler's death someone pointed out his love of dogs. Discussion of a person's political views should never be exterminated.
2 specific areas of speech that need extermination:
-
Replacement theory. If you have/are allowed to have children, then you will challenge the "ultimate deserved ethnic supremacist" power to control democracy. Structural or individual violent repression of undesirables is validated. GOP establishment must go along with this, as voter suppression has always been a requirement of their corruption.
-
Christofascist justification of ZIonazi first rule over America. Zionazi supremacist speech is establishment speech. DNC (Zionazi) "donor pressure" is against criticizing Christofascism because it is subservient ally to Zionism. Kirk was always granted establishment cred because Israel supremacy was the actual centeral purpose of his platform. Just as Chuck Schumer views his job as to "gaslight the left into being pro Israel" Kirk was gaslighting the right into doing the same. Nick Fuentes, whose speech is said to have inspired the murder, gaslights the right into thinking "Trump is not the most Zionazi supporting US demon in history". Christofascism's demonization of Islam, and "godless abomination freedom", in addition to bribing pastors to emphasize bible passages/revelations, both support genocide, and demonize those most likely to dislike genocide.
Opposing Zionist supremacist rule over America is the actual speech that establishment exterminates from America. It is fundamentally treasonous and inhuman to protect and normalize genocide, and supremacy of another nation. Another 9/11 would only strenghten our loyalty/committment to Israel's blame for the next 9/11. They will once again "only hate us for our freedom".
When establishment speech is the one that should be exterminated, it obviously complicates exterminating anti-constitutional and demonic evil speech.
Some speech should be exterminated. Divisive lies for hatred and anticonstitutional genocide makes democracy dysfunctional.
Ok, but who defines what these divisive lies are? Allowing for any sort of speech to be systematically exterminated is allowing every sort of speech to be systematically exterminated.
This is crazy. It's like when people say "let's eliminate a whole swath of the population because they are impure" and "please don't murder us" are phrases that carry equal weight.
Divisive lies for hatred and anticonstitutional genocide
who defines what these divisive lies are?
its one of those "I don't know where the line is but I know it when I see it" things, but with some easy math. Given our rights should stop only when it can risk someone else's life or liberty, does the speech in question go past that?
How do we adjust our thinking for hundreds of million people; for resources and concerns that go beyond personal obligations under the social contract; for protecting things we need 3 generations from now?
It falls apart without handoff to some kind of ethical framework and a team of elders to review cases against it and evolve that framework -- and look how easy it was to subvert America's legal elders in just a decade.
But will even that decide whether there's a difference between a zygote and a tumour? Will it prioritize the person or what may one day become one? Will it take responsibility for dying in a controlled fashion when there is no future due to terminal illness, a non-viable body or an unredeemable crime?
It can't be establishment that decides. Current establishment requires disinformation to be protected speech. We have always had to say Eurasia is evil.
There needs to be a layer independent of establishment, and/or a much stronger constitution that protects truth/values from supremacist lies and direct abuses of constitution.
The 2 absolute evil examples I gave are absolute. OP spent too much energy on speech that is similar to "blacks can't swim and whites can't jump." As long as it doesn't lead to establishment policy that restricts sports team enlistment by race, it is just "relatively innocent" racism that may or may not have a grain of truth in stereotypes, and doesn't matter. Speech that doesn't matter is the only type that is allowed by establishment, but it would be overly broad to interfere with it. Speech/disinformation for antihuman establishment demonism shift is the critical speech, and whether establishment welcomes it or not, has no basis in whether it be permitted.
More on Christofascism.... religious organizations will typically purpose themselves for demonism. Using idealist principles to capture souls in order to sell them to the most demonic evil powers/establishment. The commonality between Christofascism and (Christo)Humanism is classifying production (children, work) as good. The humanist approach instead of punishing women for failing their 28 baby quota, is positive family planning decisions made easier by easier access to prosperity, which unfortunately for the christofascists, means much freer alternatives to the requirement of listening to demons' sermon for salvation before getting soup.
By embracing both Zionaziism and Replacement theory, Christofacsist "ambassadors" are also serving White fascism above Christianity. When Black Christians making positive family planning decisions are "acts of war" against US establishment, then the white part is necessarily more important to the fascists than the Christian demonism.
Charlie Kirk is dead. Oh well.
There is no such thing as original sin. The chaos of words spoken by those in power doesn't conjure evil; it merely exposes the darkness that already dwells within us all—darkness that is readily available, waiting to be awakened. The fear surrounding Kirk is nothing short of madness. We can’t allow ourselves to be crushed by the petty outrage over mere words and fleeting pixels. Instead, let's recognize that this fierce energy, this intense emotion, often stems from a deeper place—an unspoken pain or frustration rooted in a world that too easily dismisses genuine action and truth, especially when faced with the complacency of the indifferent. It’s time to wake up, to feel, to stand against the silence that enables the real injustice to flourish.
Nope. All Russia. One .gif like the one in Star Trek that made the Borg sleep, except this one made you all vote for Trump, except when it made you all vote for Biden.
