Fuck. We’re the baddies.
All the so called christians that voted for this. They should be ashamed, but I’m not sure they can even feel shame.
That’s the beauty of Christianity.
It can be exploited to make you feel correct no matter your worldview.
One of the biggest reasons it spread so far.
Correct. Even the four gospels themselves don’t agree on the character of Jesus, so it’s a simple matter to pick-and-choose the bits that support your particular worldview.
Also all the genocide.
Isn’t Christianity the religion where it doesn’t really matter how bad you are? In the end the love for Jesus fills up you entirely and before your final moments you become good.
I vaguely remember learning something like that.
All ya gotta do is believe in Jesus and ask for forgiveness right before you die and you get into heaven, no matter what you’ve done lol.
Not if you kill yourself.
Maybe you can almost kill yourself and then ask for forgiveness before you die of internal bleeding.
In Catholicism, the act of taking one’s life is considered the ultimate sin, and dying due to it excludes one from heaven.
New Testament God Hates This One Trick!!!
That’s not told a punishment, but a disincentive from people doing such.
Depends on your type of Christianity. The debate between salvation through faith and good works or salvation through faith alone is as old as the Reformation.
This is not about 2025 American politics. Think in terms of game theory, pure logic, drop your morals. If you’re you the baddest dude in the hood, why would you let weaker men trap you into binding agreements that might bite your ass down the road? All risk, no reward, foolish.
America won’t be a real member of the international community until we are militarily and economically forced into the role.
See the gathering of generals and the warlike speech yesterday? They know we’re slipping economically. Only way to counter, for a fascist, is military might. Once you’ve built your power on a single man never being wrong, forging ahead no matter what, there is no turning back. Plus, our leader is a dementia addled old man. All he understands is kicking ass and lording power and money over others. God knows what he’ll do or say next, but you can count on that behavior.
It’s really funny that as an atheist, I have more faith in the teachings of Jesus(charity, don’t be a dick) than the so-called followers of Christ.
The saddest thing is that I’m not shocked in the slightest.
I am really sick of the US. It’s never been great, but I really hate this overtly celebrating evil regime today.
The US is a shithole country.
Also the only country where children don’t have rights.
Also they don’t recognize International Court of War Crimes.
Are we the baddies?
we aren’t. they are. “they” being the fascist fuckwads in washington
Well if you listen to the people here, we’re also bad for being victims of it and not killing people
I like this plan.
It isnt people we’ d be killing. Those creatures ceased being people a long time ago
No. Just… don’t. I don’t know if you are trying to absolve humanity from their sins, or if you are just participating in the great tradition of declaring your enemies as inhuman so that you can kill them guilt-free - but either way, don’t.
Then sit your ass back on your couch and wait for them to come for you because they absolutely will
In DC. My state has been fighting harder against this stuff than almost anyone else.
Well at least we know who the bad guys are.
The concept of voting food as a human right is already weird to me but yeah, of course this would be the result.
This vote makes no difference whatsoever. The UN can’t truly bind any state to any action. Why would the US participate when we’re the biggest bully on the block? We’re only in it for public perception, and most importantly, the veto.
If it doesn’t do anything then it doesn’t cost anything to vote for it. The US opposition to it was weirdly that it both is just symbolical and doesn’t have concrete steps and that it forces bad things on the US (companies)
Of course they did. You know what else should be a human right ?
Internet (We are not talking about social media)
Internet should be treated as a utility some 15 years ago.
Job searches, paying bills, medical portals and more. It’s a requirement today even more so.
And it’s even easier to implement than food. Many countries already have free access to computers with internet in public libraries.
I don’t know, people keep saying it’s nice to disconnect from the Internet. People who’ve lived without it long term and have a good real life community is probably doing ok. It’s not a need to thrive as a human being. Seems like a detriment in the long run.
They mean social media & it’s only said by people who are narrow-minded. The kind of people that honestly Should be gatekept away from internet because they’re a net negative.
Plus it’s already been said by actual govts. (Look up Kerala high court)
I suppose porn can be gotten in magazine form.
What a disgusting country I live in.
If Life is an inalienable right, and food is an undeniable necessity for human life, then it should be self-evident that food is a human right.
We’re dealing with a society that doesn’t understand what inalienable means, and especially the leaders.
You’d think Americans would be on board considering how much they eat
Americans who have any political voice (right wingers these days) have plenty to eat and hate the poor. They prefer them hungry as some sort of punishment for ending up needing the help. We have Ayn Rand capitalism in our blood.
Ayn Rand, who died impoverished eating through public assistance hated the poor and made it morally acceptable for Americans to hate their poor. She thought altruism was evil. She was also a zionist who thought Arabs were “primatives” https://mondoweiss.net/2012/08/ryan-said-to-be-meeting-with-adelson/
I bet all the other problems in your life are exclusively other people’s fault too?
its not a problem in my life. I’m at retirement age and I have enough money. I grew up in a different era and my life wasnt all that difficult.
The biggest problem I have these days are people like yourself bringing my community down and being whiney fascist nitwits. So in a way, yea my problems are other peoples fault, yours.
Yes but they only want themselves to eat, not others.
They’d love to starve a bunch of their fellow americans, too
I mean the majority of the citizens certainly are on board
Capitalism is massively dependent on coercing labor through the deprivation of basic human needs.
The capitalism demands payment for food. The capitalism reminds you that it’s easier to pull yourself up by the bootstraps if you weigh less.
Every economic system requires money for food. Unless you want to grow your own? Been gardening for 35-years, it would be hell to feed my tiny wife and my tiny self on 2 acres.
It’s not capitalism, you’re just seeing the end stages. No reason we couldn’t have continued to tax the snot out the wealthy and continued to collectively bargain via unions. No reason we couldn’t have continued to disallow and bust monopolies.
Any economic system will eventually funnel the money upstream. We have to have the morals and education to fight against that. Every economic system is rise and fall, rinse and repeat.
I don’t have the ultimate answer. Education? But how do you fund that, and keep everyone singing from the same hymn book, when the money starts trickling up and the rich fight for their own best interests?
The UN declaration of Human Rights already declared “freedom from want” a human right, which includes food, shelter, and clothing.
Food is already a human right, according to the UN.
freedom from want
That goes against the very foundations of capitalism!
The UN is lucky no one in the USA government can read, or they’d’ve already been liberated with extreme prejudice!
Didn’t you read? Trump just signed an executive order that claims anticapitalist actions are terrorism.
I wish I was being sarcastic…
Man I want a 5090
