Alright
Most of the problems in the middle east are caused by western interference - not to say they wouldn’t have done a fine job of making problems of their own had we not gone in there to mess things up, we’ll never know.
Democracy is a very corruptible system that needs a good deal of vigilance to maintain and my observation of English speaking countries is that we aren’t really doing that maintenance.
The evidence shows us that under capitalism wealth accumulates in the hands of the wealthy at a faster than wealth is created, and therefore the end state of capitalism is some kind of neo-feudalism. We need to address this problem rather than continuing to allow a small number of people to amass power.
Christianity… how many people are answering yes to this one? It sounds like a caricature of those who observe that the English speaking world obnoxiously pushes Christian cultural traditions on everybody.
I don’t see why disrespect towards Muslims as a group should be regarded any higher than the same kind of disrespect towards Christians or Jews would be. “Penalized” is a word that appears to be intentionally broad, so that I might say “yes” because I wouldn’t want to spend time with someone who carries on about the bad Muslims, but then that “yes” could be interpreted as meaning I am calling for criminal penalties.
But in the end I’m pretty sure I’m not a fit candidate for joining any group that thinks war is a good way to advance its agenda. That much more than any of these other issues is what joins the people portrayed in the comic with violent expansionists from the middle east.
