I don’t think it’s just Anti-Islam, but anti-organized religion sentiment in general. These sentiments aren’t unfounded, either. Look deep within the pages of the Quran, the Bible or the Torah and you’ll find many examples of horrible and a

I wonder if they’ll teach about memes in history classes in 100 years. By then, anti-meme and anti-hate speech laws will have likely gripped the globe, and they’ll be learning about us Web 2.0 savages. /s

As much as I like Apple products, it looks like the privacy buck stops at China. The western world needs to desperately work on making their supply chains independent of the CCP, lest they'd like their supply chains to be poisoned at s
