Wouldn't want to confuse the national guard with federal agents
It's not that I can see the future. I just know a pig and I know what they do. They did this during Black Lives Matter in 2020, and they did it during Ferguson when Obama was in office. They love to do it. They hate when people sit on their front porches.
@InternetEh I learned a lot from the grandparents who raised me that could be considered, "old-fashioned", but it's so comforting to see folks last few years embracing similar values of the lessons imparted from my WW2 vet grandfather's experiences of living in McMinn County, Tennessee in the August of 1946.
@Thatonepersonwithaface I don't know what you're talking about
@InternetEh Battle of Athens, August of 1946, folks took on the police due to issues of police brutality, corruption, and intimidation. Many people continued to not like or trust police afterwards (or as my grandfather used to say, "If you got a problem, don't call the cops cause then you have two problems), and seeing those sentiments more openly embraced, like the person replying in your third image, is nice.

@InternetEh

Please do not compare racist murderers to pigs

Pig shouldn't be an insult, it just shows how little humans respect pigs that their species is equated with fascism and racism

I believe this is because humans hurt innocent pigs so much that they have come to hate all pigs because in pigs they see their own violence reflected back at them.

Its easier to hate pigs than to empathize

I'd rather be a pig than a fascist

See what the pigs go through:

When the opportunity came to show empathy to and stop violent language towards creatures who experience violence every day you chose to look the other way.

@ambiguous_yelp you have islamophobia written into your bio. That's a new one. At least you're honest.

@InternetEh

Just like christianity, islam has several anti woman and anti queer verses:

The bible has similar or worse verses to most of these but I assume you already agree with my dislike of christian texts since you didnt mention anything about it but apparently islamic texts are untouchable

If a man who is not married is seized committing sodomy, he will be stoned to death.
https://sunnah.com/abudawud:4463

Allah's Messenger (ο·Ί) cursed those men who are in the similitude (assume the manners) of women and those women who are in the similitude (assume the manners) of men
https://sunnah.com/bukhari:5885

Sunan Ibn Majah 3:9:1853
No woman can fulfill her duty towards Allah until she fulfills her duty towards her husband. If he asks her (for intimacy) even if she is on her camel saddle, she should not refuse.'

Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 3272,6547
When Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) was asked which woman was best he replied, "The one who pleases (her husband) when he looks at her, obeys him when he gives a (lawful) command, and does not go against his (lawful) wishes regarding her person or property by doing anything of which he disapproves."

surah 2:222
They ask you about menstruation. Say: β€œIt is a state of impurity; so keep away from women in the state of menstruation,238
and do not approach them until they are cleansed.

surah 2:223 (Sahih International)
Your wives are a place of sowing of seed for you, so come to your place of cultivation however you wish and put forth [righteousness] for yourselves.

surah 4:11 (Sahih International)
Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females.

surah 4:34 (Sahih International)
Men are in charge of women by [right of] what Allah has given one over the other and what they spend [for maintenance] from their wealth.

surah 5:6
Believers! When you stand up for Prayer wash your faces and your hands up to the elbows, and wipe your heads, and wash your feet up to the ankles. 24
And if you are in the state of ritual impurity, purify yourselves (by taking a bath). 25
But if you are either ill, travelling, have satisfied a want of nature or have had contact with women and find no water then have recourse to clean earth and wipe your faces and your hands therewith. 26

@ambiguous_yelp I'm not reading all that. Fix your shit.

@InternetEh

Muslim and Christian texts share a lot of the same hatred toward women and queer people. I have provided more than enough evidence from the islamic scriptures here with standard citation if you dont believe me

Anyone who claims these texts come from god should examine why they think its acceptable for the ultimate benevolent being to condone these hateful things

I cant make you read these quotes from islamic texts. I can't stop you being willfully ignorant of what it actually says.

#Chrisianity #Islam #Sexism #Queermisia #Muslim #Quran

@ambiguous_yelp I'd encourage you to examine how hateful attitudes toward Muslims benefit the imperialist slaughter of Arabs and Muslims at home and abroad

That shit doesn't happen in a vacuum, and dehumanizing Muslims leads directly to genocide, starvation via sanctions, indiscriminate violence, hate crimes and more

Saying you have an issue with Christianity is not the same thing at all, either

@InternetEh

Just like christians most muslims dont actually believe what is in the text, but they should read it and reject it. I don't say that most muslims are anti women or anti queer I say their infallible texts are.

#Christianity #Islam #Quran #Bible

@ambiguous_yelp @InternetEh Islam approaches textual authority in ways distinct from, say, protestant Christianity, which approaches textual authority in ways distinct from, say, Catholicism. All of these approach textual authority differently from Judaism, and all of these in turn are distinct from the way texts are considered in what we'd call "other religions," which are distinct from one another as well. You aren't a Mary Douglas reader, I take it.
@ambiguous_yelp @InternetEh Tho to you, it seems Christianity and Islam are the same entity, playing the exact same rhetorical role. "Islam" is a term-swapped Christianity, in fact you opened your defense of Islam with "just like Christianity" (Sid didn't mention it) and went from there, similarly flattening all that might be read as against queers & women into the same apparently coherent and timeless ideological project.

@petergriffinkinnie

As exemplified above the texts are anti woman and anti queer, anyone that raises these quotes to the state of divinity is promoting these message even if theyve never once read them.

"Fundamentalists" are often the most honest religious people

@petergriffinkinnie

The only position on the "textural authority" of the antiwoman antiqueer positions expressed above are that they have 0 authority. Which it isnt a common position to say that the quran has 0 authority

@ambiguous_yelp How are you to determine that the passages are just as you say and that they are representative and interpreted as such? The Quran is written in Arabic and famously its translations are *not* considered authoritative, so did you translate these surahs yourself? Then you declare that they have "0 authority" without specifying a context. 0 authority to whom? To you? You have already established that you believe these *are* binding for Muslims & "fundamentalists" have it right.
@ambiguous_yelp Surely you do not mean to say that the texts have "0 authority" internally. You are quite willing to declare that they *are* authoritative *and* you know as much or more about how authoritative they are than do Muslims, to the point of suggesting they either haven't read or selectively ignored them, which you consider dishonest and unwarranted, leaving it to "fundamentalists," whomever that may be. Presumably you mean they simply have "0 authority" in an ultimate moral sense.
@ambiguous_yelp I for my part will do no work to convince you that these texts are anything different, as I am neither Christian nor Muslim (nor do I voluntarily eat meat, as it happens), but this treatment of Islam as a palette-swapped Christianity is ironically a particularly Christian view of other faiths. There is a presumption that the text is to be accessed and interpreted as if it is the protestant Bible, and with the same underlying theory regarding authority.

@petergriffinkinnie

As I've said in another comment if you promote or venerate a text that says to stone gay people to death then you are promoting that message

#Quran #Islam #Queermisia

@ambiguous_yelp In order to know what a text says... you must... interpret it... yes? Basic hermeneutics...?

@petergriffinkinnie

If you want to argue you have a better translation than what sunnah.com presents then you can address any of the numerous citations I made earlier

#Quran #Islam

@ambiguous_yelp distinction without a difference, dipshit

Your bigoted attitudes enable mass killing and you should fix them or shut the fuck up

#ShuttingUp #FuckingOff #BeingADumbShit

@InternetEh

Its not bigoted to call out scripture that calls for killing gay people. There is no excuse for that but it doesn't mean that we should kill muslims either

#Islam #Quran

@ambiguous_yelp you can't split that hair. Furthering islamophobia contributes to war crimes and death, and you're acting like it doesn't

I am queer. No Muslim ever gave me shit for it, and even if they did, it wouldn't make me hateful to them or their religion.

@InternetEh I am queer and no muslim has ever given me shit for it, but that doesnt excuse the verse saying to stone gay people to death. Thats all I'm saying, and venerating or promoting a text that says to do that indirectly promotes violence towards gay people

Edit I just realised I have been given shit for it by conservative muslims online that use their scripture as justification

#Queermisia #Quran #Islam

@ambiguous_yelp you're a useful idiot for the genocidal colonial project. And as other people have said, this is white supremacist nonsense to barge into this thread with your dipshit pig cartoons

@InternetEh

There is never an excuse to use speciesist language that targets victims of daily violence and torture. You wouldnt condone ableist slurs against the police, this is the same

#Ableism #Police #Speciesism #Language

@ambiguous_yelp copy-paste more horseshit. You sound like a fucking computer

@ambiguous_yelp the man who attacked representative ilhan omar with a syringe also does not like islam

@InternetEh

@thegarbagebird

Islamic texts are anti gay

Most muslims aren't fundamentalists and ignore or whitewash their own texts

Conservative Islam is a product of western imperialism

Progressive muslims can be allies to queer people

Nonetheless they still venerate and promote a horrifically violent text

Nothing justifies violence against random muslims

People are complicated all of these things are true at the same time

#Islam #Queermisia #Quran

@ambiguous_yelp

you don't seem like you are going to attack a follower of the islamic faith with a syringe, but it is important to be sure.

i am becoming as wary around anti-religious fundamentalism as i am around religious fundamentalism. there are a lot of quite prominent hashtag atheists with some pretty appalling views with regards to queer people.

@InternetEh I never thought I'd live to see the day that the national guard supports leftist protesters instead of terrorizing them. Good lord next i'm going to hear AOC passed the new green deal finally.
@Crafting_Fiend agents of state violence remain agents of state violence regardless of how they approach you. You're this easily impressed by a box of donuts?

@InternetEh
Oh I 100% agree, i don't trust a pig no matter what kind of uniform they're wearing.

I'm just used to seeing at least a couple times a year news stories about the national guard inciting violence and mowing down protestors with "non-lethal" weapons that leave protestors seriously injured, so its very jarring seeing them do the exact opposite. Kinda like seeing heath ledger's the joker volunteer at a children's hospital. With the current state of politics you kinda have to wonder what on earth could possibly happen next.

@Crafting_Fiend

how are these ideologically leftist protests?

@InternetEh

@InternetEh I know they probably didn't, but I wouldn't trust them not to poison that shit.
