„The climate crisis is here already.“

No. A crisis is a temporary event that you enter and exit, strengthened by many lessons learned and challenges overcome, if you’re lucky.

The climate catastrophe, on the other hand, will inexorably and irreversibly turn our world upside down forever, will kill a vast amount of people and destroy trillions of material value.

The only question is whether we will manage to contain it to an extent that our civilization is not being destroyed to the ground. Every day we go on ignoring this fact is rising the risk of fucking this up completely.

Well, it sounds as if your ideology is definitely one of hate, just like the ideology of some (!) Christians. Are you American?

So in your view a person, identifying as Hindu, who feels that their religious duty is to spread love and understanding instead of hate and division has no chance, right? They are accountable for this pogroms and there’s no way out of that because you have already made your mind up that Hinduism is a brutally inhuman ideology.

Are you aware that that’s true for every religion?

How would you refer to a Hindu (or a Christian) who sees it as their religious duty to help their Christian (or Jewish) neighbor against Hindus (or Christians) committing a pogrom?

Well, let’s assume the ancestors of these Christians had been forced into Christianity like it happened in Spain after the Reconquista. They were threatened by death in case they continued practicing their original religion. Their children were indoctrinated with Christian beliefs. Tens of thousands who weren’t able to let go off their own beliefs were killed publicly. Many have been falsely accused of secretly performing their old rites only to rob their fortunes. So eventually the kids of their had forgotten about their old religion and were Christians from the heart. Which according to you makes them a perfect victim for revenge loving people like you.

But of course, that was never the case in India. There lower cast Hindus made an informed decision to become Christians in order to get rid of the oppression by high cast Hindus. Which again, according to you, makes them a perfect victim for revenge loving people like you.

You really must be a wise human being with a deep sense of justice.

This is a very fine comment.

You need less space when you can park backwards. Considering parking in a lane parallel to the traffic.

“Someone always looks like someone else.”

That’s so true. In Berlin, Germany, a boar became breaking news and public warning by looking like a lion!

How about Sean Connery?

That’s one of the purposes of a cover, you could achieve it without any design effort.

But that’s not the point, not the main purpose of a book cover. Your previous poster is right, the cover is advertising the book.

But it’s not that easy. If this rando dev’s creation never catches the public’s attention how can they love it, hate it, forgive it and love it again. So this positive-quality-creature can’t be a star.

And how about acting? You don’t think that acting is an art. That actors actually create a character, that’s either boring for the audience or catching it’s empathy. If there’s no actor creating this character, than the rando dev has to create them.

And to make a movie they have to create a lot of different characters and some will turn out to be better in creating characters than others. So they will be famous for doing it great. The public will admire them and they will have their moments on the red carpet and get the chance to make a racist remark or slap someone in the face.

You know, Mark Twain was such a rando dev. And he got a lot of fame. And now the fame will be coming back to the authors…

How do you know they committed a crime. After reading the article I don’t know. It looks totally as if it’s possible that she just had a miscarriage.

Maybe there’s just a prosecutor eager for convictions.

Maybe she was trying do avoid exactly this kind of trouble.

We don’t even know if she had an abortion. May she had a miscarriage and was just trying to avoid what’s happening now, being accused of having had an abortion.

Now that sounds a lot like theocratic hellscape…
