“The dog attacked him, biting his chest and then his hand. Muhammed didn’t speak, only muttering ‘No, no, no.’ The dog bit his arm and the blood was shed. I wanted to get to him but I couldn’t. No-one could get to him, and he was patting the dog’s head saying, ‘enough my dear enough.’ In the end, he relaxed his hand, and the dog started tearing at him while he was bleeding.”
The fact that this was posted and there’s more than one comment that’s not just straight out hate is so refreshing. I switched here due to the supposed amount of bots on Reddit swaying opinions on products allegedly. But now I’m staying here because truly the bigger problem is how politics are inescapable on there. Thank you Lemmy for allowing people to actually speak and not argue constantly. Opinions are okay, have a discussion but the constant pitch forks being thrown on reddit for literally anything is insanity
Devils advocate for the heck of it. Gonna be submerged in bad rep for this.
This is comparative to people wearing “I can’t breathe” signs after Floyd or waving a pride flag to show solidarity. You just give them shit because you do t agree with them.
Sure they are all fucking stupid for not seeing the obvious flaws in their idol. But giving them shit for a pretty rational way of showing support to their idol is not the right use of your energy.
You are participating in the fragmentation of your nation by pouring your hate into simple stuff like this.

Laughing at idiots is never not the right use of my energy, thank you very much.

I’ll feel guilty about it when it isn’t fascists I’m fragmenting out of my country. If anything, I’m proud to make those fucks uncomfortable in my country.
Thank you for being willing to stick your neck out there and say what you feel and see.
On social media, especially sites where voting seems to happen in packs, it’s risky to have a counter opinion. Too many people just don’t say how they feel if it’s counter to the mainstream, and then their voices are completely drowned out.
Perhaps your idea is more mainstream than you know but those who share it don’t have a willingness to jump into the fire, leaving those with more extreme positions thinking they have agreement with most when they don’t.
There is a lot of truth to it. Just criticize or bring up one of the many objectively bad things Biden has done and then wait for the Blue MAGA individuals to come out of the woodwork telling you he’s “the most progressive president in modern history” and that he deserves our unwavering support just because he has a (D) next to his name.
I’m sure a lot of this is rooted in fear around him losing the election, but these people have their heads buried in the sand and can’t see that the Democrats are handing the election to Trump just like they did in 2016 because they’d rather maintain the status quo and push right wing candidates like Clinton and Biden than help the American people by allowing a real progressive into the office.
There’s a huge difference between saying someone is doing good, and literally praying to them in their absence. Like, have you seen the videos of people filming themselves praying to Donald trump to free them of <whatever>? They exist.
The left used their brain and all come to the conclusion that Trump is a shitty person all on their own, they didn’t get their words from Fox News or their Republican cult leader
sheep is led by a shepherd, people who make their thoughts on their own are the opposite of a sheep. You need to educate yourself more, at your current level of intelligence, you’ll swallow anything the Republican shit out
The method of showing support might be similar to something like the George Floyd demonstrations. But I’m not giving them shit for their method, I’m doing it because of who they’re showing support for. If somebody wore a bandage on their ear in solidarity with an innocent person who was shot in that spot by cops, I’d applaud them.
And as for fragmenting our nation, there is no tolerance available for fascists and their supporters. They choose to split us apart when they vote for someone like Trump who targets the vulnerable in our society.
Hear me out, showing solidarity to a slave owner attacked by his slave is different than showing solidarity to a slave who was just beaten. The power dynamic should not be ignored

i mean yeah, except if floyd was just, moderately bruised, and wasn’t killed.
Like it’s still bad, but he barely got hit, so it’s literally just a flesh wound.
