I didn’t read the article, but I watched the “rally.”
It’s been a while since all this shit gave me the chills. That is, or rather should be, legitimately very, very concerning language…
History doesn’t repeat, but it rhymes. Let’s punch it in the throat before it can finish this bar.
History only repeats itself when people forget about it:
Yeah that’s what the Catholic Church told us in Québec during the great darkness. (La Grande Noirceur) That if we didn’t vote for the then leader of the Union Nationale party, Maurice Duplessis, we would go to hell.
The Catholic Church was promptly kicked out when the boomer generation finally reached voting age and the silent revolution began.
Until every Catholic school is removed from public funding, I’m gonna continue to be pissed at the Canadian government for giving those fucks my tax money.
Amen brother.
Is this irony?
Hahahahaha
Aren’t Boomers usually more Protestant? I’m only like half joking
In Quebec?
boomers are a generation not a religion
Yeah but they’re all in on all the “work and die by the sweat of ur brow”, “no help, no hand”, “suffer alone and pull yourself up by your bootstraps”, “you’re responsible for everything and you get nothing and ai get everything” etc.
Not in Quebec. It’s a French thing I suppose?
This is more of an outside Quebec thing prolly aha, Quebec is/was bery Catholique
I don’t know why I read catholique in French with an English accent.
We all do it
There’s no way either outcome in the 2024 election will resolve without at least some sort of attacks from the far-right, and I can’t imagine what would happen after a Trump victory. The fate of the nation hangs by a silver thread.
And next time, project 2025 will ensure there are no more threads for our democracy to hang from, in addition to helping Putin to destabilize the cis region and boost his ussr resurrection dream, catapulting us ever closer to wwiii
May we stop living in interesting times…
civil war either way. not even being hyperbolic
Oh really? So why hasn’t God smote the Democrats already? Why is retribution always an in-the-future threat?
God is up there doing his Goku powerup.
"Next time on:HumanitZ AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! “Tune in next week for more AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”
God commanded us to smite the infidels! How do I know? I feel it in my heart! If you don’t believe it, you’re obviously an infidel.
I hate my country, the UK, for its crimes against humanity. We’ve done some shitty, shitty stuff; stuff that makes you sick. But nothing, nothing makes me more embarrassed than the thought that the USA was our mistake. We created the worst mistake in history.
In your country’s defense, you didn’t create it. You did everything in your power to stop it, and failed miserably. All the rest… yes.
Yeah, we got France to thank for that. They’re not blameless in this.
All right. We’ll dial back the British responsibility to 98/100.
That’s generous
Clever jibe. Consider me tickled.

I agree am American. What is this shit
God could come down from the Heavens and say that to my face and I’d still flip him off. Fuck Trump.
Trump fits all the definitions of the antichrist
“And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast.”
— Revelation 13:3What if the mortal wound doesn’t mean the death of a person? Donald Trump’s loss in 2020 could be seen as a mortal wound to his presidency or his power. If he wins in 2024, wouldn’t he have recovered from the wound? And certainly a bunch of people would be marveling and following him.
Yes, this is indeed how retrofitting narratives works. i e Backwards.
You have to admit, there’s a ridiculous amount of stuff that lines up here.
Showing this to fundamentalist MAGA’s might be an interesting exercise.
I mean, a whole bunch of that could be true about a LOT of people who go out and profess they WANT TO BE CROWNED DICTATOR but it’s still amusing.
That could also be the scalp wound he got for his failed hair lift.
If god was real he would have smote every last republican by now.
I think if Satan was real he’d do the same. Those people are coming for his throne.
If there was a god, i am sure that he wouldbe with a cheater, grifter, liar, misogynistic, adulterer, idiot like the mango mussolini
I mean the Christian god is a yuge egotistical asshole so would be right up his alley.
He is way more of an asshole in the old testament
I’m particularly fond of Cheeto Benito (as in the moniker, not the individual)
The “pastor” commanding everyone to worship the golden calf is worried about “demonic forces.” Look in the mirror.
it’s a pet peeve when religious folk make claims that are in fact testable hypotheses. Like we could measure various metrics of “god’s wrath” in relation to regions of voting preference. Poverty, famine, disease, mortality, natural disasters.
Same feeling when they talk about prayers healing the sick. That’s neat, but apparently the effect isn’t statistically significant.
Oh yeah? Well remember that one time he flooded New Orleans and that other time he sent a hurricane to New York and those fires in California and literally nowhere else on the planet has ever had catastrophic weather in the history of ever?
Atheistmate, lib!
He usually doesn’t get any of the flak but Jesus himself said “it is written: do not test the lord thy god” Matthew 4:7, they will quote that back to you
I’m always confused on this. Is god supposed to be directly effecting people and their lives or is it supposed to be free will?
A lot of these super crazy religious people are Calvinists. There are different levels of Calvinism, but as you go higher it means that there is no free will. All humans are “on rails” essentially, just completing the design of God. Even to the point that all humans who exist have been pre-sorted into going to heaven or hell before they are even born. Individual actions don’t matter, and if you’re going to hell there’s nothing you can do to change it. It’s the will of God.
I’m not sure that’s true. I think they’re much more likely to be mainline evangelicals or Baptists (like the SBC) - more the dominionist types.
something something mysterious ways…
Weirdos worship the government, but not the current government?
Just a heads-up: The site linked here just bombarded me with porn ads.
It’s probably targeted advertising 😂
I got worse. I had some kind of sports ad or something.
I mean, it is called “boing boing”
We ain’t talking Al Jazeera here
I didn’t know that site was still around. That was my reddit before reddit.
For real?
Yea no porn ads here. You sure you don’t just watch a lot of porn and the ads were for their target audience?
As long as they rely on God to do it, I’m ok with that. If the almighty smiter has the need to break its divine silence to punish me, not much I can do.
However, if they try the whole “God is working through my human hands” bullshit, I’m calling swat
I’m calling swat
They are the ones that work forces tho.
Right? Arm up, comrade.
FBI, open up!
Oh I know. Just play the game since they are so easily manipulated. In other regimes, the extra-judicial killings were done with paramilitary, not established forces. They would use established forces, but play to their policies.
So you set them uo against eachother.
Results not guaranteed if you are non white.
I’m pretty sure the implication is the latter. No one will come out and directly say it but there are certainly nuts in the crowd interpreting as a call to arms. Unfortunately I’ve lost three friends to this trump shit and I’ve heard the way they twist what is said to fit their beliefs.
The MO for every exalted leader in history. No, no, I’m not saying I am God, I’m just his go to guy.
