The religion is poison, because of course something that tells you to stone adulterers is ****ing poison, but can't we really blame the middle east on conservatism? Their government? American meddling consistently halting progress?

That's ultimately the problem with OH singling out Islam as toxic. It coincides with the conspiracy theory that Muslims are coming here to force Sharia Law on us when they're really trying to escape it.

Kenosha sure looked like it.



Sometimes the cringe is captured by historians. Like the original Jamestown colonists hardly included anybody with medical and agricultural skills.

And Salem gets a laugh.

The civil war in Rwanda... World War One is often correctly portrayed as a big stupid war over nothing


But there are other acts of incredible idiocy that still get good reviews like the nuclear arms race. The entire Reagan administration. The denial of the toxic nature of Islam. The American Revolution.

and today endless dedication to the constitution capitalism and democracy despite mountains and mountains of evidence that it’s the most horrendous threat to humanity ever known... it looks good on paper but the proof is in the pudding and we’re drowning in pudding
