Just ignore the fact Christians are doing the same thing. It's not an Islamic issue. It's a conservative issue. Muslims in America are predominantly left leaning and their views reflect it. I'm more worried about Christians in America trying to kill me than Muslims. They are more accepting of me here than Christians. My local mosque has a big trans rights flag in protest of our local politicians, and guess who were the ones to get upset about that. I'll give you a hint. It wasn't the people who were worshiping under the trans rights flag.

As a subject of hate born from essentialization, it's bad. Don't do it. Regardless of who you're essentializing. Systemic oppression can only happen with underlying dehumanization that comes from this thinking. Before you say "what about Nazis?", still no. It removes responsibility from them. That was the immediate and obvious excuse the people under Nazi Germany used to absolve themselves when the war ended. It was what was used to excuse the people brought to Western nations under programs like paper clip. They are people. They are just like you. You are capable of becoming just like them. Unless you're willing to accept that, you're much more susceptible to becoming like them.

Nah. Definitely an introvert. The persecution complex on this thread is hilarious though so I'm poking the bees nest some. Y'all talking about being an introvert like being a black person in the American deep south in the 40s lmao

Ah yes, the very comparable NYT and USSR. Brilliant analysis I must say.

And people scoff at me when I say the NYT isn't left wing

They got right of center-left. This is the same as AP news which is a bulletin that includes moderate and conservative journalists. That site puts basically exclusively local news stations that primarily cover human interest and feel good stories in dead center. Getting just short of least bias in that site is as close to centrist as you can get while still hosting political thought. Not trashing the site, btw. It's really the best way to quickly check the validity of an article from a source you're unfamiliar with.

If you make the argument that this is honestly true bias, you're forfeiting the idea that right wing thought has any credibility. You're accepting the idea that "reality has left wing bias".

You use linux because you think it's objectively better. I use linux because I like doing nifty shit. We are not the same.

"You don't have it any better. You don't have it any worse. We are each our own irreplaceable, human soul with our own understanding of what it means to suffer. And that's a huuuuuuuuuuge bummerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"

Really upsetting that people think it's acceptable to advocate for an ethnostate in a queer space.
