Reddit is embracing the new christofascist dictatorship.

    "God": Based. Cool. Trad. The foundation of Western Civilization. Protected by the first amendment. Maybe we'd all be a little better of we honored him more.

    "God" but in Arabic: Extremist. Scary. Woke. A corrupting influence on the global politics. Clear and present danger. We need to expunge it from our nation and the world.

    The funniest part of this is they’re literally the same god.

    It’s all different forms of YHWH, Judaism, Islam, Christianity.

    It’s all the same god with the fanfic changed up a little.

    Wanna know something even funnier? Look up the word for "God" in Aramaic, the language Jesus spoke.

    Jesud called God in a way similar to "Allah".

    it gets a pass everywhere, the decades of propaganda against arabic people via, bush's wars had a generational effect. but criticism against christianity, is where they draw the line.

    No, more just anti-authoritarian like an ACAB teen. Racism would have been easy to spot if you'd called the mods a racial slur .

    Remove it so they unban you.

    Post it again, and add all this history too.

    Immediately unsubscribe from their shit sub.

    To be fair, only one of your examples exist in real life, why would media constantly try and ruin the image of Vikings? Ie. Roman republic and empire, loved by western culture, were basically ancient nazis.

    This is one of the hardest things to realize after a lifetime of indoctrination, but it explains sooo much about white-supremacist (aka western) "culture".

    Not even a new thing either, just much worse now. I know a mod who got banned for making a post about boycotting Israel in his own sub of very obvious anti Israel supporters.

    Admin banned <1 hour, wiped his post with almost a hundred comments, and then threatened the other two or three mods to fall in line or face the entire sub getting banned or mod replaced.

    About 4 years ago, left reddit shortly afterwards when a similar situation happened to r/dankvideos where the admin team nuked ~6 months worth of posts and banned the mod for not moderating content to their agenda.

    The most incredible thing was that the guy got a reply from a mod. That never happened to me when I got banned from subs.

    One thing I learned from reddit is that if you breathe wrong, you will get permabanned and accused of racism and if you try and argue your case, you will be ignored.

    I don't miss that site.

Got a little chuckle out of the wolf head eating putin's head xD The little punk duck pendant 🤌 I love how he does so many different things and you can clearly see he's just having fun with his craft and challenging himself. His recreations of old jewelry is super fascinating. I hope he never stops making these little works of art 🤗

    Lemmy is pretty much there now. Been banned from a few and you either get back a hostile explanation or none at all. Hurt feelings gets you banned. IMO Lemmy shouldn’t have a ban option for mods, let the downvotes do the talking

    Disgusting and such a clear example of the damage we do to another when we accept the all encompassing conditions of corporate social media without resistance.

    When a social media website is being run for profit, this kind of shockingly ugly simplification of "foreign" ideas (Islam is NOT foreign to the US) is inveitable. In order to monetize at scale, the system demands this degree of ignorance, it is not optional nor an unintended side effect it is rather how "we" ensure the "right" history is recorded as a racist, xenophobic society choking to death on its own bigotry.

    It is the same situation with mainstream corporate news. The more money you add, the more practiced and willful ignorance you get.

    This smells strongly of “brown religion bad”.

    Jesus was a brown, middle eastern, palestinian jew.

    It’s not a name. It’s literally just the word “God” in Arabic.

    Yes, this is ridiculous, we aren't even talking about an especially specific word or concept, you might as well call the word for "love" in arabic inherently extremist, threatening and violent.

    Ask 1000 Christians what "god" means to them and get 1000 different answers, why would it be any different for Islam?

    Lots of overlap between ‘viking enthusiasts’ and white supremacists unfortunately. This specifically seems more christofascist but obviously lots of overlap there too.

    Such hypocrites. If it was about God or Jesus, no problem. Reddit hates people having different opinions. They prefer bots instead.

    Allah is known in Christianity as God the Father, part of Trinity. Being an Abrahamic religion, Islam simply expands on Christianity, while describing much the same characters.

    Except Muslims do not recognize the Trinity as a thing; God the Holy Spirit is to them Archangel Gabriel, and Jesus (Isa) is a prophet, not a Son of God.

    A shitty mod that should lose their mod status and/or have the sub suspended temporarily.

    1. Doesn't give a warning, just goes straight to a ban. Lazy mod.
    2. Says the words "for allah" promotes terrorism. I'm critical of Islam but even I wouldn't make such an obviously bigoted claim.

    Some of us Atheists unironically wear religious stuff because it looks stylish, because the words sound cool, or because we like and appreciate the fandom of a particular story, even if we realize people made it all up. I can wear Dr Who swag for the same reasons.

    What are the odds that a Viking raider wore this ring ironically?

  • source
  • parent
  • hideshow 1 child comment
  • More likely it was because the Vikings worked as mercenaries around Europe and for the Byzantines. There is a railing in the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul with runes carved into it by bored Vikings. They would've picked up items from all over the world in the process. They've also found Islamic coins in hoards found in Scandinavia.

    The owner of this ring probably didn't even know what was carved on it, it just looked nice.
