      That's exactly what the original is. It's been around Facebook and other brain-melting places forever.

        So you're saying that the original is "good person (an American), vs bad person (not American)"?

        Hmm...

    If you only showed me the good/bad Muslim part and told me to guess who the libs were calling a good Muslim I think my brain would explode. Most liberals I know think something along the lines of “Malcolm X was trying to be good but he was just too mean :(”

      because dipshits making money off saying dumb shit ruined the word on youtube a decade ago or something, it's hard to tell but people really react negatively towards 'atheist' these days

        Nah, people here and in some specific parts of reddit react negatively. The rest of the world rightfully doesn't give a shit.

          Something I've noticed on left spaces the last few years if you are open about being an atheist or say something that makes it obvious you're an atheist, they'll respond smugly like "tips fedora" or something. Kind of annoying, like god damn sorry for not being religious.

          People irl don't give a shit and I live in the Bible Belt.

        Nah, It's probably because a lot of "New Atheists" define Atheism as a lack of faith in god (mostly for dumb semantic purposes) and this looks to me like something made by a "new atheist" in the late 2000s

        any of those people can be agnostic though, and most religious people are. Though some people use agnostic as slang for like, atheist who doesn't want to be harassed

        Ex-catholic here, you're completely right, catholicism is extremely far from what Jesus stood for.

        In Europe it's a business + a safe space for pedophiles and fascists.

        It might be a bit better in South America I dunno, liberation theology is alright I guess.

          Yeah that's true, but have you seen American protestantism? It's literally the opposite of Christianity

        He praised Christianity to his conservative base, but the way he lived was secular. He thought Christianity was eventually going to have to be eliminated from Germany, and favored Germanic Paganism. He wasn't exactly not a Christian, and wasn't an atheist, but it's not very cut-and-dry. IDK why someone would go with him for this meme and not the Spanish Inquisition or something. Calling him an "evil Christian" and placing him as opposite to MLK implies that Christianity was as important to his beliefs and actions as it was for MLK, who was a minister, and that's just not the case.

            He wasn't really trying to be a christian, most of the most deeply ideological nazis weren't. They were into weird Germanic pagan shit, also see Himmler and his weird occultism. They preached christianity to their base because they knew their audience. Golden Dawn recently is another example, their leadership is into weird dodekatheist nonsense and paganism but they started pretending to be orthodox because that's what all their base was into.

                After reading the Bible, I give it 12:1 odds that Jesus wasn't running a sex cult

                But the Catholics have always been more into Peter and Paul than that carpenter guy from Bethlehem talking shit about all the Pharisees.

      spoiler

      one of the main characters tries to ask Bin Laden to form a crack team of atomic bomb suicide space pilots so they can kill the invading aliens, but Bin Laden tells him that ever since the aliens forced Earth to unite, al Qaeda no longer wants to fight, and in fact welcome the destruction of Earth, since it would mean the destruction of America.

              Rey Diaz had basically the same plan of "I will hold the earth hostage" like 1/3 through the book, and that more or less ends up being the solution in the end, if with a different implementation.

              I'm only partway through the sequel and it has some more weird sexism, with

              spoiler

              the Trisolarans instantly attacking earth the moment that a woman is put in charge of the deterrence system because they know that she won't be willing to follow through, and all the future people (described as extremely feminine) being portrayed as weak and utterly incapable of functioning in a crisis.

    But now idealism was driven from its last refuge, the philosophy of history; now a materialistic treatment of history was propounded, and a method found of explaining man's "knowing" by his "being", instead of, as heretofore, his "being" by his "knowing".
