The restrictions are much lighter now than a while ago, but yes, they’re still there.
Christianity is one of the PRC’s five government-protected religions, however.
Buddhism, Taoism, Islam and something else.
Don’t remember.
China has a high Islamic population in its Xinjiang Autonomous Region, in the West.
It’s home to the Uyghurs, a primarily Turkic people.
It’s mostly Eurasian steppe and desert.
Not too many people live out there.
It’s similar to Tibet, in that there’s been a lot of separatist sentiment in the area because it’s ethnic people and culture are very different to the ruling Han Chinese.
Thus the reason it gets a lot of autonomy.
However, while Islam itself is a gov’t-protected religion, Native Islamic Uyghurs in Xinjiang so face a lot of persecution by the non-Uyghurs living there.
Mainly because they’ve been a pain in the PRC’s side since the late 40’s when they annexed the then independent Xinjiang warlord state, the last warlord state of the Chinese Civil War to be reintegrated into a unified China.
There are still very Christian countries in the West that cling onto the religion quite firmly, most of them being Mediterranean counties like Italy, Spain and Greece, along with the vast majority of Latin American states as well.
America’s a mixed bag. Atheism is popular in large metropolitan areas while religion holds strong in the countryside, very similarly to the Democrat/Republican divide.
In the UK, it’s just dying everywhere.
Yep.
Islam.
I mean, I’m an atheist myself, but I just find it... sad, to say the least.
It’s the tradition of the West we’re losing.
I probably wouldn’t care if the entire world abandoned religion, but abandoning Christianity in the west just leaves other religions with the opportunity to take its place.
Like the aforementioned Islam.
That’s why so many are still religious, yeah.
What I find even more frustrating is that people here in the west claim that they’re “against all religion”, but only beat up on Christianity because they don’t want to hurt some poor Arab or Indian’s feelings.
I’m indifferent.
There’s also the feminists that campaign for the women’s rights that they already have here in the West while the Middle East isn’t even touched despite the fuckload of human rights violations against woman they have there.
It’s almost sickening how hypocritical we are.
“muh crusades, muh kkk, muh westboro baptist church”
The crusades part especially pisses me off.
Ex
Fucking
actly
On top of that, most people don’t even know shit about the Crusades other than “Christians murdered a bunch of poor Arabs”.
Heeeeell no.
The crusades were wars of reconquest, retaliatory invasions after hundreds of years of Islamic aggression
The 4th Crusade, as much as it makes my inner Greek salty as hell, wasn’t even against Islamic powers.
? Yes it was
It escalated into a war against the Byzantines, the head of the Eastern Orthodox Church, which is fucking Christian.
It changed partway through
It did, yeah.
But it was a call against Islamic aggression by the Pope
Don't know enough about it to know why they went to Byzantium though
By the orders of the Pope it was, however the Venetians steered it into a land grab by dropping the Crusaders off the coast of Croatia and later Constantinople, the latter without giving the Crusaders a ride to anywhere else.
Therefore the Crusaders pillaged the shit out of Constantinople, effectively killing off the Byzantines and leaving the door wide open for the Ottomans to take over 200 years later.
And even then, the main theater of the Crusades wasn’t the Levant and Anatolia all the time.
The Reconquista and the multiple Baltic Crusades are a good example of that.
The Baltic Crusades even being about converting pagans on the South coast of the Baltic Sea, not about Islam.
Just sounds like another tragedy of history. I don't think anyone in the Anglosphere talks about the Northern Crusades (or the Reconquista really), so don't mind so much about people getting them wrong
Yeah, really does suck.
Such shallow nonsense
Blablabla history
Why am I in this group?
Asking for a friend.
No clue, pal.
Is firefly one of your mods or something?
Dunno.
Mr E talking to herself
Yikes

I do not believe communism is the superior economic and/or political theory.
Honestly anyone that believes any ideology in it's current, undeveloped stage is an idiot.
What will dRUMPf flip-flop on this time?
hmmmmmmmmmm
after careful consideration I think this might be edited
just a little bit
@DA GOMMIE JOO Fake news libtard.
oh shit I got owned epic style
@Mr. X good to see you are still imitating me
you just pinged yourself
Fuck
Fuck
Fuck
Fucking poser
@Mr. X kill yourself
Autist piece of shit
Commie trash
I mean the faker
@supermodel ruben @Mr. X So which is the real one?
Still no excuse for not thinking "How should we adapt our ideology to deal with X problem"
Almost every communist is still working off of communist theory for 1920s and the pre-Universal Sufferage capitolist system, Not the current system.
@nigel the proud semite#9400 oh shit I got owned epic style
note the irony in a capitalist complaining about how communists use dated theory
"competition is good"
keep telling yourself that
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coal_Wars
"the coal wars were a series of armed labor conflicts"
"Mining families lived under the terror of Baldwin-Felts detective agents who were professional strikebreakers under the hire of coal operators. During that dispute, agents drove a heavily armored train through a tent colony at night, opening fire on women, men, and children with a machine gun."
"professional strike breakers"
"drove an armored train through a tent colony"
capitalism in its purest form
done in the name of profit
oh you wanna play that game
bengali famines in british india resulted in over 100 million deaths
3 million people died in anti-communist purges in indonesia in just 4 years
the native american genocide's lowest estimate is 50 million deaths
world war 1 had at least 16 million casualties
the belgian congo saw 10 million killed in a genocide
I'd like to point out that the congo was ONE MAN'S PRIVATE PROPERTY
deaths directly caused by property rights
capitalism
and then there's the potato famine
belgian congo was in 1908
"hey guize my propaganda is correct but actual facts are stupid"
the 100 million number came from the black book of communism
it has exactly 0 basis in reality
seriously I read the black book of communism
it has no sources in it whatsoever
they just made shit up
you haven't even read the book
I read the book and it had no primary evidence in it
it just throws shitty claims around
because you haven't read it
you can't speak about a book you haven't even heard of
yes
because a fucking drought isn't communism's fault
and besides
I'm a trotskyist
I don't support stalin
even if stalin has killed 100 gorillion people, that doesn't affect me because I DON'T SUPPORT STALIN
listen to me
such as?
I don't support mao either
I'm a damn trotskyist
MLs hate people like me
nope
he's not even communist
he's juche
pol pot was overthrown by the actual communists (vietcong)
no
actually learn about what juche is
and the songun policy
juche was founded by kim il sung
just so I can see what you know, define communism for me
describe what a communist society looks like
okay
what does a communist economy look like?
looks to me like you're projecting
"rather shit for the working class but good for the rich government"
literally why people hate capitalism
oh really
is there a billboard by your house?
okay
well my point is that advertisements are propaganda
I mean think about it
seriously
the term PR was invented because the word "propaganda" was too negative
I'm not making this up I swear
they still use the techniques
> I haven't read this yet but I think it supports my claim.
@Mr. X No, that's not at all what it's like.
No, it isn't. That's an absurd analogy. You don't know how capitalism functions though so I can understand why you would believe that.
@Mr. X No, you are not a member of the capitalist class. Lel
No, you aren't.
Stay ignorant.
What a moron.
If you knew anything about capitalism, you'd realize that the first three are capitalist apologists. Two economists from the Austrian School and one Neoclassical economist from the Chicago School. Keep reading those comics in mommy's basement and pretending like you know what capitalism is. Turd
You should stay off the political servers and go to the Minecraft server you pleb.
Leave the political discussion to the adults that have actually read about the shit they speak of.
Probably because you posted hentai you cretinous basement-dwelling ignoramus.
You're a jack-off-all-cocks pretending to be a jack-of-all-trades.
> pussy commie
Says the idiotic liberal.
They're full of meaning, which is why you'll tighten the belt around your neck a little tighter later whenever you decide to pleasure your inchworm to hardcore anime porn.
He's so clueless about socioeconomic theory that he genuinely believes he isn't a liberal. Lel
He probably doesn't even know that there are various kinds of liberals.
Yeah, pretty sure you're a CLASSICAL LIBERAL. And an unread one at that.
Oh really? So you don't support the free market?
You're not in favor of civil liberties under the rule of law?
You don't understand capitalism. Or philosophy. Or world history. Or anything outside of the comfort of cognitive dissonance land.
You didn't know who Adam Smith was. You also claimed that pro-capitalist economists from the Austrian and Chicago schools were "trash" even though you claim to be in favor of free-market capitalism. You're a walking contradiction. You know nothing about the system in which we live. You are a buffoon of the highest order.
They are pro-capitalist economists, as I've said before. The fact that you didn't know as much is a major red flag. You're also a fool for not wanting to read Marx because he "attacks capitalism". His critique of the capitalist mode of production is rock-solid even today. Again, you're just a fool with a serious case of cognitive bias.
Which book? He has multiple books, not all of which deal with a scientific analysis of capitalism. He was much more than a political economist. And there are three volumes of Das Kapital, I highly doubt you would make it past the first chapter of the first one. Your ad hitlerum merely exposes you as the weak and irrational thinker you are.
And Marx was a master of the classics, this is made evident throughout his writings, which happen to be very poetic at times. The entertainment value is there if you can be bothered to challenge your pre-conceived notions that aren't even predicated upon a proper understanding of the side you claim to be on.
Engels disliked the Irish? Yeah, you really are an imbecilic little turd. Both Marx and Engels supported the struggle for Irish independence.
Engels also fell in love with an irishwoman.
Fucking moron
Really? How about you provide me with a source for your claim.
And Engels never got married. He was strongly against the very institution of marriage.
> 3 Irish wives
Lel
Lol
No, he didn't. Again, he was NEVER married. He was partnered with Mary and Lizzie Burns.
http://www.theirishstory.com/authors/john-dorney/#.Wt-mzZdG2Uk
the only person on that website is heavily biased and has never written a single book about marx
I read about half before concluding that it was pure tripe.
yeah but somebody who doesn't know anything about marx or engels might not be the best source for marx and engels
the IRA had a split over this actually
the provisionals weren't communist
however, the officials were often called the "red IRA" due to their marxism
the officials split further into the INLA and RIRA
the INLA was much more open about their socialism
and the RIRA became the TIRA IIRC
(IIRC isn't an IRA group)
the PIRA was just irish nationalist
they were never left-wing
if I recall correctly
and the PIRA split away from the OIRA specifically because they WEREN'T left wing
No one does
Only do so
So people are forced to use it in response
Because you are mentally challenged
Yeah, the OIRA was Marxist.
I just said that they split off because they weren't left-wing
I literally just said that they weren't
you're not reading what I'm posting
I literally just explained why they weren't
<:troll:312064734113431553>
"wikisource - the free online library"
the wiki page literally cites itself
look at the citation given for the left-wing nationalism
it's citing itself
the PIRA constitution never uses the phrase "left wing"
they never use the term "socialism" either
they aren't left wing
I just read the constitution (it's not very long)
one mention counts as "left wing" now
they state that they support left wing groups but they themselves aren't left wing
dignitas yourself
Mr E is a liberal
fight me
mr e is a liberal

You can be on the right side of history, or continue being a cuck. Your choice. @vogeL_

Sounds like Shitler.
