    I wish more than like .1% of people still understood this.

      You're not allowed to advocate violence on saidit.

      Not advocating violence. I'm not telling people to go kill others. I'm simply praising the heroic actions of these warriors. Not any different than supporting Ukraine.

      You literally called murderers "heroes".

      [–]Gaslov 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

      It's not murder, it's self defense against an invader.

      That's a TV anchor, not someone trying to kill people. So what is there to defend against? The presence of someone you don't like? It's murder.

      With regard to the removal: the "no advocating violence" rule exists to appease authorities who could potentially shut saidit down. It has more freedom than reddit, but server hosts, domain registrars, CloudFlare, and even the government still wield the hammer. There was even a sub that one of saidit's companies forced it to ban. /s/Ice_Poseidon.

      I'm clarifying this because it seems you think I'm a "fag" who has a trans agenda. If that were the case I would have removed a lot more than this. I will also say that if it were up to me, I would not have removed anything.

        Well there it is - 4 responses to this post that show how much Saidit is like Pakistan. Nothing redeemable here or there.

        Those responses break the content policy.

        Everyone thinks I'm crazy but this is why I keep saying conservatives are going to mass-convert to Islam. They've really changed a lot since 2020, and Christianity is simply incompatible with their values now. Even now they think Jesus is a degenerate weakling. This doesn't mean Muslims are all evil, but Christianity is unique in how much emphasis it puts on love, not hating, not judging, not taking revenge, turning the other cheek, etc. so it's much more difficult to twist to such evil ends, at least when outright admitting to doing such things (and they now openly oppose all of Jesus's teachings). It's been done before, but that was back when the church was able to control all information. Now anyone can read the New Testament.

        Can't condone the assassination attempts, can't say I'm surprised by them though. It's Pakistan.

        They should just stop watching TV. That's what I do when I see shit I don't want to watch.

          Islam is right about faggots and women.

          I don't know why people in here assume Islam would deal with the gender trend differently. Iran has been one of the countries pushing this stuff. They see it as a great way to let rich gay men carry on without issue. Just groom and castrate a poor gay man and you can marry them and pretend you are straight.

          and that in a strict (?) muslim country. How's possible?

          Pakistan has a mixed legal system, which is partially Sharia (traditional Islamic law) and partially the 'rule of law', so there is a broad range of traditional and modern approaches in the country. Sadly, there are numerous religious extremists who cause an endless series of problems for this country, hampering investment, international trade &c. They control large regions of the country.
