    To cause hate and violence by christian fundamentalists? Taking turns until we have religious wars and crusades again? Why are you all so horny for violence that you promote incitement all the time. This is crazy!

      To cause hate and violence by christian fundamentalists?

      But that doesn’t happen in Western Europe. At least not since the Good Friday Agreement. Bible burnings and other sacrilegious/blasphemic stuff is done frequently here and occasionally you’ll read about some resentful remarks from church officials, but all in all that group reacts a lot calmer.

      Black metal fanatics literally burned down medieval churches. Yet I’m not aware ideology motivated Christian attacks on metal fans.

      I’m not saying burning books is a polite thing to do, but the ridiculous reaction to it is what worries me.

        Did you hear of colonialism yet? History of the last centuries is full of massacres and genocide by fanatical Christians happening all over the world, so what tf are you talking about?

          As you said: That’s history. I’m just describing the world in the 21st century. If I were talking about the 11th century I’d likely be saying similar stuff but with reversed roles.

            On he contrary, they just refined the system of exploitation, or why do you think the “west” is rich while most “former” colonies and are still poor in 2023? The over average wealth of the west (which has been and still is strongly based on oil) is not just materializing from thin air but is taken from elsewhere -where it´s missing then- most of the time by malicious foreign politics and economic exploitation and often with military force, pretty similar to how the west did it during the age of classic colonialism.

            If you feel like learning something about Neo-colonialism you might start with:

              Those are a couple opinions opinion pieces made by laypeople, not trustworthy sources.

              Besides, it’s simply disgusting to compare the colonialism and the horrors that accompanied it with the economic issues of current international trade relations. You’re belittling victims of actual gencoides here. It’s reminds me a bit of the people who needed to talk about “tyranny” when we had rules against Covid.

        That is a lie, I never did that. I am simply able to take a meta perspective and therefore to understand what is going on on both sides. Something you guys are obviously not able to do …
