it was a general ed. course, only thing that fit my schedule for that module

2018-08-29 14:03:14 UTC  

but i had to take *something* on religion

2018-08-29 14:03:39 UTC  

what about Buddhism?

2018-08-29 14:03:49 UTC  

yeah but that was during a time I had other classes

2018-08-29 14:03:50 UTC  

all you do is chill all the time

2018-08-29 14:03:52 UTC  

but all religions were available

2018-08-29 14:04:09 UTC  

well damn..

2018-08-29 14:04:17 UTC  

my favorite part was that the Islam course was the only thing that fit the schedule for a lot of the Army ROTC

2018-08-29 14:04:27 UTC  

OOF

2018-08-29 14:04:32 UTC  

and half of those were prior service so they'd just walk in mighty pissed

2018-08-29 14:04:37 UTC  

except for a dude I'll call him jerry

2018-08-29 14:04:45 UTC  

who just kept drinking out of his flask in his seat by the door

2018-08-29 14:05:03 UTC  

lol

2018-08-29 14:05:11 UTC  

see the thing is

2018-08-29 14:05:18 UTC  

I learned a lot of cool stuff about Islam during that class

2018-08-29 14:05:50 UTC  

even did a research project on it and got an A

2018-08-29 14:07:39 UTC  

although one of the dudes, bless his soul, really pissed off the professor when he did his presentation on "Female Education in Islam" and the first picture in the slide was a wrecked girls' school he took on his first (and last) tour in afghanistan

2018-08-29 14:08:00 UTC  

the man has a point

2018-08-29 14:08:43 UTC  

the rest of hte presentation, surprisingly, was actually really positive

2018-08-29 14:09:03 UTC  

thing is
the class taught me that not all of them are horrible

2018-08-29 14:09:15 UTC  

but uncontrolled mass flooding of people anywhere is a bad idea

2018-08-29 14:09:56 UTC  

Yeah, its bringing in another culture that will take over the original

2018-08-29 14:10:22 UTC  

islam and judaism are not compatible with western society

2018-08-29 14:11:05 UTC  

it's a meme at this point but "it was just one radical" is used as the excuse for shit like the orlando nightclub massacre, but then they turn around and declare all guns owners are murders by proxy

2018-08-29 14:11:18 UTC  

i don't even care if they call me a murderer by proxy, but at least choose one narrative and stick to it y'know

2018-08-29 14:11:26 UTC  

its not even one lone wolf though

2018-08-29 14:11:47 UTC  

religion of peace does a shit ton of attacks

2018-08-29 15:33:09 UTC  

I get Islam, but not sure I understand why Judiasm isn't compatible with western society

2018-08-29 15:33:28 UTC  

(other than DA JOOZ)

2018-08-29 15:41:22 UTC  

it's all just power politics disguised as posturing which is why they only assign collective guilt to those they want to lord over, hence white privilege, toxicity masculinity, the dehumanization of gun owners, etc. its bourgeois power dynamics and it's the same bullshit they've been playing since the 60's

2018-08-29 15:41:47 UTC  

THE 60's :0

2018-08-29 15:42:15 UTC  

the 60's were a colossal set back for the west

2018-08-29 15:42:34 UTC  

Good

2018-08-29 15:44:06 UTC  

they didnt help you either

2018-08-29 15:44:29 UTC  

Yugoslavia in the 60's was very nice

2018-08-29 15:45:57 UTC  

my question is why Republicans, libertarians, conservatives, etc dont play the same game? the white nationalists and alt righters get it, albeit through a very one dimensional view. power politics and populism are the norm and we could be really screwed post trump.

2018-08-29 15:46:13 UTC  

COZ ITS DUMB

2018-08-29 15:47:12 UTC  

remember kids, always play by the rules of your enemy

2018-08-29 15:47:41 UTC  

if they play dirty, you play even more dirty
