Yeah that's fucked. If you are going to let people say "No Christians" or "No Muslims" then "No Zionists" ought to be allowed.
Zionism isn't even an actual religious belief. It is a political one. A desire for a specific outcome and policies to support it
My autistic ass is going to be nitpicky as well. Zionism deals directly with people who identify with a religion and where they ought to live. I mean it also vaguely alludes to aspects of jewish ethnicity's since zionism likely also is concerned with athiest but ethnically jewish people unless I am mistaken. There is a lot wrapped up in it.
Also religions have specific outcomes they desire as well.
Regardless, my point people should be allowed to be anti-zionist on Grindr if they can be anti-other-vaguely-equivalent-things.
Every single religion has extremists. Make a religion, you just made reliigious extremists. Support a religion, you support the same religion as religious extremists are supporting.
Religions support politics, and politicians, . They have to do that to achieve theocracy.
Every single religion tries to pull this bullshit. christians? Yep. muslims? Yep. jewish? Yep. hindu? Yep. It never ends. Keep religion very far away from everything, always. It ruins everything it touches.
zionism is not a religion though. it is a terrorist organization. can grindr allow you to say “no nazis”?
that's anisemitism please ban and arrest
I mean "No Jews" is allowed so its not even that they're worried about antisemitism.
No, no, antisemitism isn't about hating jews its about hating zionist. The military industrial complex tells me so. /sarcasm/
Though thats how alot of people treat it...
Just fyi, the slash in /s or /sarcasm isn't some weird bracket, it's meant as an XML style closing tag, meaning "end of sarcasm". In full it would look as follows:
But people drop the opening tag and the <> for convenience.
No, the / has nothing to do with xml. It's a fake IRC command.
They were all in the style of /commandname.
You know, people tend to use sarcasm more in chats than in XML documents.
not all Jews are zionists
Not all Zionists are Jews. Humanity really needs to stop our imperialistic ways. Every piece of land is accounted for and to get more you have to bury the people who reside on it.
The vast majority aren't
