        How about religion in politics needs to be fucking snuffed out? Stop cherry picking which religious theocracy you’re willing to oppose for the feel goods.

            My country isn’t stoning women and gay men to death in the street in the name of our religion. Religious and theocratic just the same but not in equal measure. Fuck Iran.

              From what I can tell, Iran executed about 2 people per year for being LGBT (exact stats are hard to find). The USA killed 32 trans people alone last year. Was that not because of religion?

              Do you live in America? Because that doesn’t sound like the America I live in.

      Assuming you are opposed to all theocracy equally, may I sugest the vatican as a starting point, they have the weakest armys and they have the least area to control l, agian, assuming you are being consistant.

      Just to be clear, you are advocating invading any foreign countries with theocratic tendencies to replace their governments with one of your choosing? Does this also include Christian countries? Or just Muslims? Animists? Pagans?

        See this is where folks like yourself fuck up. Yes that includes Christian countries. ANY regime pushing theocracy needs a beat down. All of them. Get religion out of politics. Matter of fact, get religion out of Earth. I just don’t pick and choose which religions and theocracies I’m willing to oppose.

          No, I think I understand you clearly. You want to dictate internal policies to any country that disagrees with your world view by sending in the tanks to cause murder and destruction.

          And I don’t believe for a second that you would be in favour of someone doing it to the USA, because the USA is clearly not theocratic in any way, right?

              Do you realise how unhinged you are? I’m not a fan of Theocracies either, but I’m not about to condone invading and murdering them to get my way. I think you might have read too much propaganda about this instance. We are not in favour of mass murder.

              It’s your exact logic that led to the colonisation of the Americas. The natives were a bunch of savages with primitive beliefs, so they needed to be conquered and forced to adopt Christianity. You’re taking it a step further, but it’s all still the same energy. You can’t go around conquering countries and murdering people because of their religion.

              The US has done this through its history, and all it’s done is destabilise the world, and cause millions of deaths. Iran’s current government was created in response to US meddling.

              If you have a difference of opinion with someone, your first thought can’t be to kill them. That’s psychotic.

                Not to mention millions of people are being killed, starved and otherwise oppressed around the world in the name of US civil religion.

      In a vacuum, this makes sense. As it turns out, theocracy is incredibly resilient to European infiltration. Theocracies will not die until the North Atlantic imperial regime is dismantled entirely.
