@charliebrownau @lonestarr @sickburnbro people need religion. It unites people beyond tribalism and it reinforces cultural values.
the trick is to have a religion that promotes and reinforces your values and not have an outside religion with opposite values imposed on you.
Sadly, if you try the atheist route, you're guaranteed to have an outside religion imposed on you because, again, people need religion.
So just bite the bullet and go with one that aligns with your values with good folks.
@BigDuck The Republicans aren't the opposition, they're just there to create the illusion of choice.
This is why they're trying to redirect anger against Jews towards themselves, because it will cause disillusioned Democrat youth who are currently pissed at Biden for his support of Israel to vote for him anyway because the Republicans are fascists who shut down their protests (also because of their support of Israel).
They're not cowards, they're traitors.
There is a small chance that one of the following things will happen:
Japan will start buying oil in Yen from Russia OR
Japan will convert their assets worth 3 trillion USD to buy the oil OR
US government will weaken USD
