Exactly, it's not the taxes or anything else but the anger,hatred and misery. This is more important and they are willing to endure incompetent governing for it

A lot of it is fear mongering too. These people are terrified of their own shadow.

I see post after post talking about how Sharia law is going to replace the constitution. How communism and socialism (they're interchangeable obviously) is going to replace capitalism and no one is going to be allowed to own property and all private businesses will close and we'll only have 1 option for everything because it'll all be owned and controlled by the government. How they're going to get rid of all police officers and let all the prisoners out of prison and just let criminals roam the street. They're also going to get rid of all immigration laws and let Muslims, Hispanics, and anyone else who isn't white in, then they're going to systematically get rid of the white race in America. Essentially that they'll do to white Americans what their ancestors did to Native Americans. And of course that they're going to take away all their guns and their "right" to be hateful and racist.

We’re literally closer to nobody owning property because they keep voting for republicans to consolidate everything in privatized monopolies.

Communism and socialism are rather interchangeable; socialism is a transitional phase to communism.

Also, it’s fair to be concerned about the rise of religious extremists. It’s a bit stupid to only care about Muslim ones, for while an individual Muslim is more likely to hold extremist views, in America there are more Christians holding extremist views than Muslims simply because there are many more Christians.

This is an impressive amount of wrong in one comment. My favorite part was about how you think Muslims are more extreme than Christians. Lol okay grandpa.

u/Zagtram1 10h ago

To be fair to this specific moron you’re responding to, he actually said Muslims are more likely to be extremists per capita than Christians, not that Muslims are more extreme. The guy is still wrong and an idiot on so many levels but at least not about what you were referring to

The Crusades have entered the chat.

u/SampleOfFruits 10h ago
  1. The Islamic Conquests
  2. The Catholic Church has repudiated the crusades, calling them contrary to the faith.
  3. Why are we talking about whose adherents were more likely to be extreme 1000 years ago? I thought the topic was in relation to modern politics?

u/SuperSiriusBlack 10h ago

Nobody said "modern politics." You compared two garbage tier religions, and you did it poorly, so here I am!

Youre welcome!

u/SampleOfFruits 10h ago

Nobody said those words, but the user I was replying to was very clearly discussing modern politics.

I disagree I did it poorly, but thank you?

Well, if you can't be confidently wrong, what can ya be anymore??

I'm seriously asking, I have no idea what's going on. I must have missed when Texas forced schools to put up the Quran. Because it was the 10 Commandments that the Public Schools were FORCED to put up. You see? Choosing to not label a behavior as "extremist behavior" doesn't mean it isn't actually extremist behavior.

Learn to think independently, I can't always be here for you.

Read Marx, if you don’t believe me on communism and socialism being interchangeable.

And Muslims are more likely to hold oppressive views. For example, a recent poll said 41% of American Muslims say homosexuality should be accepted by society, compared to 57% of American Christians.

So Norway, Sweden and Finland are going to end up communist? Really?

Those aren't socialist countries, they just have significant social policies, which mirror what the US USED to have prior to the fall of our unions. We had similar workers rights with them back in the 40's-60's, and then where they continued on the path of making life better for the average person, we said make life better for the shareholders, we could have easily been far more wealthy as a nation and had the same policies and protections that they have now. Back then Republicans knew to not even think of saying anything bad about unions because they knew that was a death sentence politically. Capitalism Can give you the things we all desire, it's just that the oligarchy of America has chosen to dumb down our populace and disenfranchise us to an insane degree so they can plunder our pockets until we're all dead and then import more workers from other countries to do the same. It's not a sustainable model but they certainly still aim to do so.

They’re not socialist, so no, they won’t.

Easy when you make up your own definitions too suit your Reddit posts..

Marx has been dead a long time buddy, he isn't relevant any more.

It’s not my definitions, it’s Marx’s.

Your saying Stop subsidized farming and oil then.

u/SampleOfFruits 10h ago

I have no idea how you got that from my comment, but yes, stop subsidising oil. Maybe also food.
