It’s politics. I’m super surprised Rimu does this. It’s super grey area. It’s constant war between people all around the world. It’s very diffcult to have absolute truths here.
For starters, there islam symbol right in the face. You say its some country flag? How average user would know that? They will think islam immediately. Many people would argue that islam religion and islam countries are kind of authoritarian as well, not like China authoritarian, but different kind of. Women in islamic countries have very limited rights compared to men. What about that? Are we condemning that? Are we condemning commie-like state authoritarism and Israel or also other kind of oppression? If so, why? Why not also show flags of social groups like LGBT who claim that they are also oppressed? There are plenty of social groups around the world who claim they are oppressed by other groups, by country they live in etc. And if rimu wants show love to all of them it will quickly turn into shitshow because many of them are actually also against each other and contradict each other, Like for example LGBT is banned in islam states like Palestine. They might walk next to each other in some protest here and there but thats jsut temporary, as soon as protest ends and they achieve their goals, they are on opposite sides because they don’t agree on fundamental level.
Ha, so Albania is authoritarian? And Kyrgyzstan? Or East Turkestan, actually?
Kyrgyzstan is known for having a strong democracy by the standards of Ex-USSR countries.
The Christians in Egypt or Lebanon are not really less authoritarian than the Muslims there.
But okay: You are telling that women in Albania and Kyrgyzstan have very limited rights compared to men. I would like you to give some examples of how that shows there, because that was not my impression in either country. I mean, yeah, women have worse rights than men, but is it worse in Albania than in, say, Armenia, which is the oldest Christian country on this planet.
BTW, currently the logo is the rainbow flag. Funny reading your comment complaining about it not being there when it actually is. Now.
You are arguing that LGBT being banned in the Russia and Palestine means that Christianity and Islam are religions against LGBT. I would like you to elaborate on that view, please!
I bet all the people who were happy yesterday cause because they saw symbol of their religion are also very happy today because they see symbol of homosexuals who are sentenced to death in some islamic countries because it’s what that very same religion tells them to do.
Maybe the idea is that people will eventually accept this. Wrong. Only atheist / agnostic could come up with this idea. Well, majority of the world is not like that and it won’t change soon. This approach will attract people with similar mindset, so those for whom “it doesnt matter” but will repell those for whom it matters. Christians, Muslims, homosexuals are fundamentally in conflict with each other, whether you like or not. It’s because the books they are reading today are the same books they read 1000 years ago. No word is added and will ever be added. It’s beacuse humans don’t evolve that quickly like some maybe would want. Our genitals looks the same as 10000 years ago. Our cerebellum similarly. It’s not like we can make those conflicts disappear as much as we want to. You cannot force world peace by just grouping people with different beliefs together and tell them there is no conflict.
That’s why the best strategy is for services and products to stay neutral, if they want for people to be using them. Unless of course you want to sell your services to specific group of likeminded people.
Where would you say the slippery slope is leading to?
