How do these folks not realize they are making the point that the Satanic Temple wants to be made when they do these things?
If they wanted the Satanic Temple to go away, the best thing to do would be ignore it. As I understand it, much of its mission would be done, then.
Instead it's like this constant slow-roll Streisand Effect - we keep seeing them win against these idiots, either legally or by making their opponents look like dumbasses. Sometimes both.
Trying to land on the sun sounds like a GREAT way to spend the money that you could be using to fix the social ills in your country.
Way to go India!!!
A Palestinian toddler was killed by mistake after Israeli police opened fire at a pair of suspected attackers at a checkpoint in the occupied West Bank.
Where are everyone's pitchforks? Where are all the pro-lifers crying foal?
At some point you have to just beat on these authoritarians. The only thing they know is violence. Sure, try peaceful protests first, but don't stop there if it's not getting the job done.
The paradox of tolerance -- those who break the 'social contract' deserve no tolerance from the otherwise tolerant, otherwise they'll just run roughshod over everyone. I hate violence as well and have no stomach for it, but it does seem there may be no other way to stop regimes like this.
First you would.do well to read up on the history of Iran, especially the involvement of the US in basically creating Iran as it is today.
Once you got that down, you have got to understand how religion and culture works there. Simply saying "kill the masters" won't work, we did that with Saddam Hussein and after wars and deaths, shit was and is worse.
A LOT more will be needed to change counties like these for the better, and simply talking about breaking the paradox of tolerance won't do.
No, you're totally right -- there's no easy way out of this. But how does one work towards a peaceful solution, and overcome multi-generational, cultural, 'religion'-based attitudes shaping foreign policies (I place 'religion' in quotes because I believe that religion is just used, by all sides, as justification for intolerance and abuse of power) that insists on conflict? BTW I'm referring to both Iran and the 'Western Powers' here.
Simply trying to 'kill the masters' would only create a vacuum for whomever is waiting in the wings to take their place, and just perpetuate the cycle.. sigh. I dunno.
Fuck their religion. And they wonder why the US wants to spread western values.
Their values have no place in this world. None. It's not "culture" it's exerting control over other people who have no recourse. It's an invalid way to live
