some of my BOILING takes

tw / politics, social stuff, etc

okay so if u disagree with some of these that is perfectly fine and normal these are hot takes for a reason

OKAY SO STARTING OFF:

Any country that operates using sharia law (or really any religious law) does not deserve to exist. As a country in 2024, suppressing rights and using religion as an excuse is disgusting and an extremely dated and dangerous way of ruling. I believe nations wishing to achieve progress need to conform to what the rest of the world has deemed as human rights. A specific example I can give is Iran. Iran was lost to the Islamic revolution in 1979 and, since then, women have completely lost their rights. It's a disgusting and cruel nation.

Communism has done more to damage Europe than anything else. 
My original blogpost on this topic -> Communism sucks ass and here's why [bulletin post] - ❥ antwke's Blog | SpaceHey

"it's their culture" is not an excuse to be racist/homophobic/transphobic/etc. This kinda relates to the first one, but I will not excuse general bigotry just because it's the "culture" of the person spouting it. I get into a lot of arguments because I tend to have strong opinions on how Islam and Christianity are treated differently. For one, I dislike them both equally. They both are generally bad for progress and have some pretty hateful and bigoted followers. However, for some reason, whenever I criticize Islam publicly, I get a lot of hate! On the other hand, I do the same for Christianity and I'm perfectly fine? Why are we just giving Islam the pass? It's just as, if not MORE damaging to people right now since its being enforced as law in some countries. 

America is NOT as racist as you think. I know this may vary by ethnicity, but as a Mexican kid living in south, I have experienced little to no racism that actually affected me. I have been on the receiving end of some uneducated opinions, but I was usually able to teach them what they were actually saying, and they would switch up. I think the reason racism seems like such a pressing issue here is because we actually talk about it, as well as our other problems. The US has always been on the leading-edge change, so talking about our issues and rooting for a solution is exactly what we should be doing. I feel most other developed countries try to hide their issues in order to save their image. 

The modern-day version of the American Democratic Party is everything BUT democratic. As a former die-hard democrat, the shitshow this party has fallen into is appalling. I watched the DNC with some of my friends and it could be confused with a Trump fan meetup with how many times they brought him up. We got little to no actual plans on policy changes and goals. Not only that, but the nominee, Kamala Harris, was not picked by the delegates! She won ZERO primaries, and she has yet to release her full policy list. We are three months away from election and the only things she mentioned were the 25k for first time homeowners (which would do nothing as sellers will just add 25k to the price), a ban on fracking (which she walked back on the CNN interview), and her VP wants to ban "weapons of war that he saw in combat." He never saw combat.

Instead of elaborating on policy, they spent the entire DNC shitting on Trump and trying to keep protesters out of the building. Did I mention that? There was a goddamn protest outside of the DNC. Ironic that Kamala, someone who claims to want a ceasefire in Gaza, also helped approve a deal that sent over $20,000,000,000 to Israel during her campaign. 

The strategy that democrats are going for this election is just "Trump bad, don't vote him! Vote us!" and it's not working. They push trends on TikTok to people who aren't old enough to vote, they hold interviews with LEFT LEANING outlets and completely fuck them up, and they lie and manipulate their own voters into thinking they actually have their interests at heart. It would be some miracle of God for Kamala to win this election. With RFK endorsing Trump now? I am completely on the side of the Republicans, even though I normally am not.

You are allowed to disagree with people on the internet. This mostly applies to Spacehey itself, but I am seeing more and more add "DNI [insert common opinion here] or DNI [whole ass gender]" and it's so odd. Do people want to just live in an echo chamber their whole lives? I love talking to and debating people who have wildly different views than I as it helps me expand my knowledge on the topic at hand. You are never going to grow your database by just hearing the same shit over and over. It's boring and constitutes stupidity in my eyes as you don't want to step outside of your comfort zone to understand another perspective. 

ok thats all ily
