Agree with the sentiment but this is slop.

    Sure, but I think I’ll make that sign and use it anyways, because the statement itself goes pretty fucking hard.

    i want to see this too! i'll suggest the following simplification

    MUSLIMS ≠ aL-QAEDA

    JUDAISM ≠ ZIONISM

    CHRISTIANS ≠ KKK

    I don't like this simplification. It doesn't provide the same thought. They seem like independent statements, where the OP implies they're equivalent to each other. A Christian could see this and agree with the KKK part, but then not apply the same logic to the other groups.

    It does not go hard. It's rather depressing.

    I'd appreciate if people would add some explanation to calling it out.

    I think I can see it now, but it would be better if I wouldn't need it to be pointed out to me.

    One tell that I think is obvious is the font. It's made to emulate being painted, but it obviously isn't (the artifacts on the first 'F' for example don't make sense for a brush, and many others). I would think maybe it's printed using a font that's supposed to look painted, but the letters are unique (each 'K' in "KKK" is totally different), so it isn't a print. That leaves either generative AI, a weird digital edit that manually did things incorrectly, or a very slim chance that it's real with a strange artistic choice. AI seems the most likely by far.

    How totalitarian of you. Assuming stewardship of how people are allowed to express themselves politically and creatively. You must be like the enlightened block warden of the super duper ethical state of extra liberty. And who cares about truth anymore anyway when you can cut society into tiny pieces and shit hate all day.

    I don't think this is real.

    But the KKK still isn't recognised as a terror org, interesting.

    The Nazis were also Christian.

    so... that's a no.

    I mean, can you separate those things? Like I'm not saying all Christians are KKK or anything of the sort, but there seems to be a common thread among religious extremism, and that's faith in the divine authority to justify any act of violence or malice.

    Any Abrahamist who is progressive and liberal has to ignore large swaths of the religious scripture and do mental gymnastics to justify why their moral compass goes against what their religion says. If a person seriously believes everything the Book (doesn’t matter which one) says than they are by definition a fundamentalist.

    Yeah but can you separate Hamas from the struggle of people for liberation from imperialist oppression?

    Can you?

    People still can't imagine it yet, because "muh 911 never forget" but Islam isn't even the driving force behind this struggle, because that too is a political struggle for liberation from imperialist oppression. It's the religion or ideology that glues these people together as brothers and gives them the mental fortitude (or delusion) to pull this off. I say this as an atheist who isn't especially fond of Muslims. But they rightfully want the US empire out of their region, and the natural resources like oil working for the people, not the US (like it does in Iran, or it did in Venezuela before the recent economic warfare and plundering). Of course drone strike them enough and they become more and more extreme. A thousand 911s and "interventions" and psyops visited on the middle east will lead to some bad shit. Now they found an extremist for Syria that can be bought. Worst of both worlds. US Empire and Al-Qaeda, now inseparable lol.

    So while you think this is progressive politics, this actually cuts pretty close to the kerfuffle about voting democrat or third party or not at all. Which is a psyop that those people are your enemies, not the plutocrats who buy votes in bulk. But even you ultra progressive slogans are pro US empire. Not even in your wildest dreams can you imagine a just world.

    Its easier to just ban religions, all of them. They serve no purpose other than evil shit. Since its all make believe, all of it, its not even real.

    Just ban the crap already and resolve half the world's problems

    No.

    All of the moderate/liberal Jews/Christians/Muslims provide a veneer of respectability for their monstrous Abrahamic faiths, a mask.

    However, the Tanakh/Bible/Koran are all fundamentally fundamentalist. All three frequently take delight in the murder of others, all three provide justification for a horrifying amount of violence and injustice, and, most importantly, all three teach their followers that they are morally, spiritually, and intellectually superior to non-believers.

    They will always produce the same fanatical acts from their fundamentalist followers who are inspired by their Holy books and do as directed by God (including Zionism, Al-Qaeda, and the KKK).

    They can't be eliminated, unfortunately (fundies love martyrs). But... the least we could do is tax them. As it is now, we (everyone else) are funding faiths that despise us all, these religions that say that we are all shit should not be supported in any way.

    Well, I don’t think any of those things can be separated.
