I fucking despise religious reactionaries.

That's just a symptom of moral prescriptivism, which in turn is a symptom of otherwise impotent desire for control over a weird and scary world.

That doesn't mean they're making good choices, but it does explain why they're making them.

I’m gonna level with you, brother, immorality existed way before the internet.

[-] abbiistabbii 13 points 2 weeks ago

it's not about immorality, it's to limit the access to outside information in a country where most internet access is done through smartphones.

Seriously, nothing is new. It came from something else.

I read it as "to prevent immortality"

We did it Patrick! We ended immorality!

[-] Lupo@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago

I read the entire article incredibly confused because I thought it said immortality

[-] Mynameisallen@lemmy.zip 12 points 2 weeks ago

I misread this as immortality and was immediately curious what they knew that I don’t

I hope they don't find out about ethernet

At this point it seems hard to ban the internet. But especially impossible for the backwards Taliban that have lived in caves for the last 40 years.

I doubt that they know that they just started a whack-a-mole

Stop giving the GOP ideas.

They should denounce all the weapons from the US. Obviously, those are haram, and against the religion.

[-] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Least insane Taliban action

[-] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago
