In the top panel they would complain about the Polish migrant

British racists still complain about the Polish migrant despite all the Indians and Pakistanis in the UK.

I love this comic and very much agree with the spirit of it. I am also fully in favor of diversity and immigration into the US.

It is also interesting to know that “non-Hispanic whites” are in fact expected to become a minority in 2045 according to demographic projections by the US Census Bureau.

I hate white panic in all its forms but as a matter of factual accuracy, we can’t lampoon it as freaking out over 2 people in 10 not being white. It’s further along than that, at least nationally. Granted, in any particular room, some white people will still freak out over 2 in 10.

True, yet in this specific instance this isn't about overall population, but specifically the muslim population, which if I recall correctly is under 1% of the population, far lower than the 10-20% in the comic.

Way sicker of watching evangelists take over North America personally. I try not to be a hateful person but I’m starting to have a hard time hiding my anger towards evangelists and Christian reform people.

That's because you're judging people based on their actions.

Instead of judging them based on the color of their skin, or what they chose to believe privately.

An altogether fair way to judge people.

[–] VieuxQueb@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 day ago

Thank you for rationalizing this, I was starting to wonder how I could be so frustrated with some people. But it's always their actions that trigger me not who they are.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 34 points 2 days ago

More than zero = taking over

Because they're bigots.

[–] Humana@lemmy.world 31 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Maybe they're talking about how the Saudis have bribed their way into controlling Republicans?

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 17 points 1 day ago

That would require critical thought.

[–] Denjin@feddit.uk 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Can't be, because they've done that, and the other side as well, since the 70s.

[–] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

Trump did just move them up on his myspace friend list

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Idk "Muslim" is a lot of typos away from "Saudi."

[–] sturmblast@lemmy.world 31 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I mm tired of "Christians"

[–] jumperalex@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

Yup, I 100% have a problem with Muslims in political office. Same as I have a problem with Christians, religious-Jews, Hindu's, etc who identify by their magical thinking and uses it to govern.

I 100% have no problem with any humans in political office who use the best data available and reason to govern and elevate the human condition

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Agreed 1000000000000000%

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 8 points 10 hours ago

Conservatives cry.

It's what they do.

If they weren't living in fear of something, anything, then they wouldn't be conservatives.

Victimhood is a core tenet of the conservative ideology.

"But if I stop fueling their racism they'll realize I've been making their lives worse and abdicating my duties as an elected official"

[–] ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (3 children)

What would be the problem? They tend to be too brown? Nobody who spouts an overall negative opinion of Islam has ever read the Qur'an, and probably goes around talking ignorant nonsense in general. But 1) the West dislikes personal responsibility, so actually living in accordance with one's beliefs (that God exists and He will judge us all for our actions, so you better act right) is seen as extreme 2) the American war machine plus attack dogs have been pushing dehumanising and islamophobic narratives (going mega hard for about 3 decades at least but it has been in the Western European cultural background since at least the Crusades/Roman invasion of Judea) so they can better sell their murder and pillaging of the Middle East to those committing the atrocities and their loved ones at home. 🤷

[–] rapchee@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

not to say that any action is justified against muslims, but the quran is just as bad as any religious text. i don't need to learn everything about scientology to be able to dismiss it, why should it be different for islam? or any christian sect and the rest too

[–] Jumbie@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 day ago

I’ve read the Q’uran. Let’s not lie about its contents.

That being said, their instinctive hate for Muslims is another reason to despise conservatives.

[–] yeather@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Inversely anyone who has critically read the Qur’an also usually holds and overall negative opinion on Islam.

[–] ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world -4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah I'm sure the call for righteousness, self control and maturity that is constantly repeated throughout the Qur'an is something you personally dislike, lol.

[–] yeather@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Is righteousness the calling for the killing of ex-muslims and the enslavement of other people? Is self control the marriage of very young women to old men? Is maturity beating your wife and controlling every facet of her public life and dress? These things are not righteousness, self control, or maturity.

[–] ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Of course not, but the Qur'an only talks about killing in the background of a just war (and even then it says it's better to capture them and then release them if possible, in a time where Rome just came around and raped, murdered and pillaged without even the need for narratives, lol), makes no mention of old men marrying children (???) nor beating your wife! You're confusing the culture around the Qur'an made by horny and power hungry men (nothing new there, lol). Jesus never talked about pretty much everything done in his name for about 2000 years by Rome, the church and Western powers, yet his message remains true regardless, right?

[–] yeather@lemmy.ca 0 points 11 hours ago

Killing in the background of a just war

Surah 4 verses 89-90

Old men marrying children

Your “prophet” married a six year old at the age of about 53. The quaran is vague on “marrying age” mentioned in scripture but the actions of believers shows the number is low.

nor beating your wife

Quaran 4 verse 34

The teachings and actions of Jesus are pure, the institutions failed him. The teachings and actions of Muhammed are flawed, and the institutions that follow him are worse.

[–] DamnianWayne@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Well duh it can't be the group of pedos in pizza parlor basements injecting baby blood for eternal youth, because they actually are in charge now.

So the magats a new enemy, and Muslims aren't them so they're safe to attack.

[–] ghosthacked@lemmy.wtf 6 points 1 day ago

Same shit in the uk. Muslims are a fraction of the overall population but apparently they're taking over.

[–] absGeekNZ@lemmy.nz 5 points 1 day ago

Clearly they are worried about the ultra-efficient Muslims; who with such a tiny percentage of political power; are taking over.

They worship lies. The bigger the lie, the more they want it to be true.

[–] Yerbouti@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago

Canadian parties have been winning election on this for the past 25 years. But this time it's true, it's about to happen, trust me.

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I mean, I have never seen anyone walk up to the minimum wage Cashier and start yelling about how pork is against the "traditional Muslim values."

[–] scarabic@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

“Taking over” has to start somewhere LOL /s
