Not picking on you, but...for how little sense this makes to me, it's practically an inside joke. Between not having any idea who the participants are, and the horrid experience of reading Twitter (I presume the intended reading order is quoted tweet > tweet > text in picture?), I have absolutely no idea what the fuck is going on. Nor can I be bothered to care for something so irrelevant. Twitter "discourse" is like…

Twitter can be hard to parse, but it's not impossible to understand. If you're having trouble understanding it, you could ask or just not comment? This feels like the equivalent of replying to an argument with "you're"

> If you're having trouble understanding it, you could ask or just not comment?

Respectfully, I think the onus is on you to add some context. The tweet doesn't contribute much to the discussion otherwise.

I agree, religion offers simple ways to classify actions as good or bad. Following the church teachings or priest's guidance was enough to make an individual confident they are a good person, doing good things. Meanwhile, in real life, everything is complex, few things are clearly good or bad, everything has advantages and disadvantages. People need a simple compass to distinguish good and bad. It seems the "politica…

Simple like ‘love your enemies’

Religion never left - it merely have new names like "science" (actually "scientism" and not really science), political ideologies, activist movements, etc.

All are forms of religion in practice, value and effect though everyone is loath to admit it.

What is your definition of "religion"?

The AAPI hate crimes are not white-on-Asian, btw. In California, there generally isn’t much tension between the two groups

There isn't any tension between the black people and asian populations either. There isn't even much overlap between the two populations. People are trying to push a narrative that one riot in LA and one event in Crown Heights, both 30 years ago, are representative of a continent wide consensus, validated by individuals committing crimes now. Silly. Its so silly that it pretty much shows how segregated the two groups…

I thought (I just googled it to check) that was West Indians and Lubavitch Hasidim. Which are you calling Asians?

I don't know, were you reasoning about California based on NY, or is there a Crown Heights there too?

As it happens calling Jews Asians is an established form of race based animosity.

I’m aware of events there coming up when people rationalize the idea of organized race based animosity, lurking in the shadows amongst a fictionally amorphous group

Most of those numbers don't seem particularly high. The only one I thought was really surprising was: "A majority (59 percent) of Americans say that whether the person shares their views on having children is one of the most important or a very important consideration.", and that only because 59% seemed low.

The question I have is how independent each of these are. If every person has one political view that's a deal-breaker, then it doesn't matter that only 15% of the population has that particular deal-breaker.
