@durably465 because it’s haram

@The Free Penguin then the kitten was executed with an anti-aircraft gun

@Frogmanfromlake [none/use name] How does that work?

@kromida It’s possible, they’re just keeping it fairly quiet, because journalists and social media influencers are not allowed in.

@rainpizza This just gets weirder and weirder. I really wanna watch this movie.

@rainpizza I think it was just that the site was down/slow for a bit.

Anyway, now that I can see this, my mind is kind of blown. This is like nothing that the DPRK has put out before. Are we certain it’s from there? The state being an antagonist is absolutely wild.

@rainpizza Your video links aren’t working

@Protestation idealism

@comrade_sverdlov Definitely not legit from DPRK.

@TrippyFocus Which is, again, extremely recent, and also fraught with contradiction among its voting populace. It has an amazing constitution, but it only barely squeezed through (and is still only that — a constitution).

Russia is not at all stable, nor is the rest of the Soviet bloc. It moved straight from the ossified and besieged socialism of the 70s and 80s into fascism, immediately embracing capitalism in crisis, and that’s where it’s remained.

@harc A state being bourgeois is not the only material condition of that state. The west in the 90s saw immense growth and stability, which meant that it could afford more rights to the groups that it had previously marginalized. We’re now seeing that rolled back as said stability comes crashing down.

China, meanwhile, is quite new to stability, so we’re only now seeing rights there increased. The USSR, one could argue, never really saw stability due to constant sanctions and external threat.

@harc almost like material conditions of countries on opposite ends of the globe or literal decades apart make a difference

@HiddenLayer555 I have more respect for you than to believe that you can’t imagine how organized religion whose institutions had a great deal of power might get it into their heads to reshape their religion’s theology in order to say that one must follow that religion to be secure in the afterlife.

Jesus’s whole cult was about, yes, salvation through his sacrifice. This is Christianity 101.

@HiddenLayer555 Which does not require following Jesus, yes. That is a comparatively novel implementation. But hey, congrats on being able to CTRL+F the bible for “hell” and then acting like you know anything about Christian theology.

@HiddenLayer555 Golly, look at all those verses that say you go to hell if you don’t follow Jesus in specific.

@HiddenLayer555 sighhhh.

He’s not.

Liberation theology would disagree.

The idea that the guy who literally started…

No, he didn’t. That didn’t come about until Dante in the 13th century.

Have you ever actually read the bible? I have

No, you clearly have not lmao

[everything else]

Who gives a shit. “Opium of the masses” doesn’t mean what you think it means. Stop dividing the working class; militant atheism died on Reddit a decade ago for very good reason. These days, Marxists support religious freedom.

@rainpizza I’m amused by OG Starcraft. That was huge in the RoK.

@Moidialectica [he/him, comrade/them] It’s almost definitely on their own intranet. Not LAN, but not connected to the internet that most other countries access.

@☆ Yσɠƚԋσʂ ☆ Just look at all those European Marxist countries

@Protestation A strangely reactionary sentiment.
