Иконы постмодернизма отвернулись от него 😱
@kino Why would you want that in the first place? Google is your best friend now 😏

Religion, but not real faith, often becomes a weapon in political fight or in strive for staying in power. Populism is now on the rise throughout the world and politicians will always fish in these muddy waters to polarize society. The best we can do, I think, is maintaining level head and not making enemies of each other.

I've seen this process in reverse in Russia, where the standards of living have been declining for quite a while and Orthodox Christianity is on the rise. With support from the state of course. Only a few years ago TaTu girls came out of this country, and they _were_ popular domestically, now people get arrested for shooting video, where cathedral is seen in the background — because it offends someone. That's just bullshit!
@alyx
Yeah, I think I misunderstood you, sorry. Like I said, provoking some community just for kicks is wrong, but self-censorship to keep everyone happy is wrong too, proper balance should be found. I think we agree here.
But I don't think the West should _make_ Muslims be more secular. It's a natural process that happens as standards of living rise. Radical Islam most often comes from war-torn countries where people live in poverty.
@alyx
Burqas and preventing women from making music may be tradition, but it has nothing to do with faith or core values and while doing something to provoke some community to "troll" them is wrong, resurrecting some medieval traditions in your own community to outdo them is wrong on whole other level. I don't want to got back to the times of crusades and I don't think it's the path we should be taking.

@alyx
Should it not be the other way round — Islam should be made more secular, not Christianity more strict?
It is often radicalized on purpose. Muslims can be just as "tame" and tolerant as Christians in developed countries, here is a great movie on this subject: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Path
Core value of Christianity is exactly turning the other cheek — being tolerant, core value of Islam is about self dignity, being a worthy person.

Ooh! I still have a few questions like why Pascal is harder than C, while Go is easier, but is makes much more sense now 😅

Just in case: DMs/PMs simply don't exist on this instance as concept — don't use them, use the other instance if you absolutely have to, or send an email to any address at m0xEE.Net or .Com or .Org, but I prefer keep most communication public.
