@thedistinction Yeah, it's definitely a complicated history. But I get the sense now that conservatives didn't pull the idea from thin air.
-
@thedistinction in the implications for the political system, even though there have been Christian theocracies.
-
@thedistinction I'm definitely against the fear mongering, as I think there's a 0% chance of shariah in the west.
-
@thedistinction On the contrary, I started researching the topic due to an interest in internal Arab politics due to the Syrian civil war.

@thedistinction this thread has examples of both pro and anti secular views https://www.reddit.com/5raloy
-
@thedistinction I know /r/islam may not be the best source, but it was the first place I thought to look. I'm not drawing conclusions yet.
-
@thedistinction I also saw some discussion of whether Islam is compatible with anarchism, which interested me.
-
-
I'm starting to understand what conservatives mean when describing Islam as inherently theocratic, by reading what devout Muslims believe.
-
Of course, there are many Muslims that prefer secularism. Albania and Turkey are examples. I am not ignoring the existence of these people.

I believe: ocean acidification; overfishing, global bioldiversity reduction are massive, existential problems.
-
@moonman Overfishing is definitely a problem. It's not just about the quantity of fish, but the careless practices that are used. When they scrape the sea floor with those big trauler nets, it destroys the habitat and the ecosystem. So not only are they catching too many fish, but they're also hurting the ability for the stocks to repopulate.
-
@cc Yeah, absolutely. I am hesitant to say "too many people" but I would say that we are treating ecological commons like a fat guy at an all you can eat buffet.

@hardbass2k8 It shows the weakness of spectra-based things like this.

@takePotato Knishesakenji yeah it's better than simple left/right, but my economic views are bit more complex than "centrist"

@efi @oceangrunge most republican, democrats, libertarians, and greens are liberal in a broad sense
-
@efi @oceangrunge Liberals believe in a right to life, liberty, and property. And advocate representative democracy. That's the basic idea.
