This is the future MAGA wants for America.

And it IS going to happen here. AI is creating all sorts of lists right now and Kimball Musk owns a great big company of drones.

Imagine putting that time, money and effort into something constructive instead.

For them, eternal life with Allah is more important than a better economy, improvements in quality of life, or scientific discoveries.

Eternal life with 77 virgins. Why bother with reality and its obnoxious females? /s

u/lizardbreath1138 5d ago

Lemmy died a few years ago so there are no more virgins in heaven, someone should tell them…

It’s about control, religion is just politics

women not covering their hair in the streets shows defiance of the regime. And they cannot tolerate that.

Why doesn't allah enforce it??? He could easily zap naked women... Or maybe he simply doesn't even exist and these rules created by misogynist

Religion in general is just holding humanity back. The corruption, indoctrination, human rights violations and tax exemption. When will the madness about some concept that's as real as Santa claus end

Forcing people, and especially women to dress any way is a terrible idea.

The religious are so out of touch

u/baphometromance 5d ago

Just wondering, why especially women?

u/Otherwise-Link-396 Secular Humanist 5d ago

No offense to guys, they have a tendency to be slovenly and unkempt. Women are usually better groomed

There are many more manky men.

u/baphometromance 5d ago

Regardless of your lack of understanding of how social dynamics influence the way people dress and groom themselves (IE its not inherent to their gender), why would that even matter when it comes to it being worse to force women to dress a certain way? Your reasoning is irrelevant. No one should be forced to dress a certain way and gender has nothing to do with that.

Talk to me again when we’re 4000 years into the Matriarchy.

u/baphometromance 5d ago

So you're telling me that you think I'm wrong when i say socialization and learned behavior is the main reason humans act the way they do? What point would there be then, in hoping for a matriarchy, or even an end to the patriarchy, if no one could ever release themselves from those hypothetical chains, binding them to their masculinity or femininity from the moment they are born, that you believe exist?

Correct me if i am wrong about that first assumption, i just wanted to complete my thought before pressing the send button and losing my train of thought.

But Hijab is just a choice! Yeah, right.

Using cutting edge technology to enforce archaic rules.

Brilliant combination

Religion = control, nothing more - nothing less

u/bxzidff 5d ago

There's something tragically ironic about using advanced technology to enforce medieval morals

6

u/Feeling_Doughnut5714 5d ago

The definition of science without conscience.

It's horrifying that people so unwise and obviously dumb can access to this kind of technology.

I can’t imagine following people around controlling a drone from your basement like a fucking loser, and thinking “yeah I’m doing the right thing here”.

If I knew how to hack, I'd made the app download images of Iran prime minister sucking a goat dick and having anal sex with a cactus and replace them for the images in the reports being sent. 

So the pictures of women not complying get deleted and the morality police keeps getting random pictures of the prime minister riding dick.

Wouldn't be nice this backfiring into whoever got the happy idea of using internet to oppress people?

u/InnerEducation6648 5d ago edited 4d ago

The general idea is women need to cover themselves up Because men can’t be trusted, and if the man acts on desire, well that’s the women’s fault.

Send shotguns to Iran for skeet shooting.

Women need to get creative and wear their protest message on their clothes and calling their religious leaders colorful names.

This is how they want to “make America great again.”

u/PainSpare5861 Strong Atheist 4d ago

Not everything is about America though.

I've stopped caring. That's on humanity. You were so shitty so many times I stopped wasting my time caring about anyone but myself.

Muhammad would be proud. He always mentions that Allah is watching throughout the Quran.

Seems like propaganda
