Absurd, of course.
Nevertheless, their positions are quite understandable, given our current circumstances. USA (and Canada et al) are evil empires/dictatorships. That's a fact. All countries, I think, were founded on some form of genocide or violence, and thus historically illegitimate -- as if their moral illegitimacy wasn't enough. We don't respect free speech in any of our countries, so it is indeed hypocritical, to some extent, to condemn people like them for their censorship. And every single person who believes in absurd religions indirectly shares in the responsibility for encouring their slightly more absurd beliefs. |
