someone: prohibition in the united states was largely ineffective, cost millions, tried to force a religious belief on the entire country, only ever resulted in the increase in consumption of alcohol, as well as the increase in police violence, and ultimately failed

people: okay yeah that’s true

someone: the war on drugs is the exact same thing except this time because of the militarization of the police and private prison interests, is much, much more deadly and specifically exists to justify and widely reinstate slavery within the united states

people: what? but drugs are #bad, and we can’t let people use them. obviously this is the only way to deal with this situation

Actually full disclosure until like a couple months ago I thought that Severance and Succession were the same thing. They're both three-syllable titles that start with S and from the scattered posts I saw on my dash appeared to involve mostly people looking very distraught in business-y environments. Eventually I started to pick up on the sci-fi stuff but for a while I was just like "Man, this family is even more fucked up than I thought!"

I have an opinion that i don't know how to articulate well yet but the corr idea is that i think that heavy criticism of islam from within a mostly-muslim community is required and productive but the same criticism from elsewhere, europe for example, especially from non-muslims, is a justification for further targeting and oppression of the muslim minority, while in mostly-muslim countries the religious institution should have indeed their powers dismantled and their rhetoric torn to pieces. Likewise, in a mostly-muslim country almost all criticism of christianity, especially when coming from muslims, are justifications of further targeting and oppression of the christian minority..

criticisms of religions can be progressive and can also be reactionary, depending on the time and place, context.. etc
