World News@lemmy.world•Illiberalism Is Not Inevitable. If Viktor Orbán can lose, then his Russian and American admirers can lose too.English
151·10 days agoIdk man once the US stops fucking with other countries economies they tend to start doing well.
As for one party states, try and defy the two headed snake we call democracy here. The a totalitarian state dressed up as a sham republic. Think of all the things everyone agrees on but the federal government vehemently opposes or vice versa

World News@lemmy.world•Quebec passes secularism law banning street prayers and prayer rooms in universitiesEnglish
1·19 days agoI agree with you on the use of public funds. But a ban goes beyond that.
And it’s not that the religion enables evil deeds. Evil deeds exist independent of religion. Because some people use it as a thin veil over their actions doesn’t mean it’s the root cause

1·19 days agoAntisemitism without religion is called racism. And because a corrupt caste of people use religion as a pretext to control and funnel wealth. Doesn’t mean the underlying religion itself calls for that.
As for having a population supporting conquest independent from religion look at the east India company, both world wars, and many others.
I’m not saying religious organizations are a benefit or arguing for or against that.
But how is the world a better place because the banned prayer rooms in universities?
Whether some of those people follow a good religious leader or not. Their religion generally calls for overall good.

1·20 days agoReligions do call for a lot of violence don’t get me wrong. I’d even make the claim that most evil acts that we attribute to religion tend to have it as a pretense. The crusades for instance each had a main goal that was there independent of religion.
But then you have the good that religions mandate. Sikhism with IRS community meals for instance. Zakat in Islam is another good example.

41·21 days agoPeer pressure will exist regardless though. This provides as space for people to pray in private.
Why not make the prayer rooms individual rooms? Would that not solve the edge case you describe?

World News@lemmy.world•‘Our coverage is not truthful’: How Israel is censoring reporting on the warEnglish
1·1 month agoIt’s being taken to an extreme though. These impacts can likely be seen via satellite akin to the impacts on US bases. And I assume the Russians and Chinese are supporting them with said intel

Nice thing about graphene is that you can put Instagram and the like in a different user but for some reason I can’t figure out how to get my sim to work while I’m using the other user profiles
