America is a deeply unserious country.
The government dumped a bunch of hallucinogens in the water supply back in the 50's and then scared everyone into a bad trip. We really never recovered from that.
Throwing a bunch of LSD at our lead-damaged neurons like kicking the side of a box fan to make the hum go away.
Hey man that works though.
Can't wait to learn Tyler's family voiced their concerns that Tyler was practicing witchcraft (evolutionary biology) and listening to the devil's music (jazz and/or rock n roll).
witchcraft (evolutionary biology)
I'm serious when I say that I expect a Scopes Monkey Trial 2.0. Except - this time the fundies/creationists. Creationism rebranded with some fancy new marketing term name is taught in schools across the U-S-A.
Intelligent design?
Maybe something even newer with - I dunno - techbro flavor or something.
Artisanal manufacturing
poor poor christians and all the persecution they receive daily. how do they ever make it through the day!?
I'm looking forward to being in public, standing in line next to some fundie on his phone whining about "anti-Christian hate crimes", and I laugh then say "Give me a fucking break." He turns looks at me, calls 911, and I'm soon arrested for something like a "verbal assault anti-Christian hate crime".
easy with that lathe, I hope you know what you're doing.
Charlie was a Christian hate crime so this one might have some legs.
Lmao let’s legally define being an anti-abortion misogynist blabber mouth as Christian, rip the fuckin band aid
mormon on evangelical hate crime
it was a hate crime against the anti-christ
“Lion got chased away by a lamb. This is clearly a lamb-on-lion instance of predation!”
Not reading the article but do they mean because "Thou shall not kill" is one of the commandments or is that putting even more thought into it than the guys that came up with the law?

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:
The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.
-
Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
-
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
-
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.
-
Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.
-
Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.
-
Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.
-
American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
-
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.
-
AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
