  • Yeah, that stems from the original sense of the word. The story goes a bit like this:

    In Genesis 19, Sodom is visited by 2 angels and they were pressured by the men of Sodom to have sex with them. This lead to the interpretation of homosexual activities being an original sin, but there are accounts in the bible that it was not meant that way. Mainly Ezekiel 16:49 which reads

    Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.

    So, the sexual advances were likely meant to serve as an example of decadence rather than a stipulation that homosexual activities are sins. But it was simply easier to hate on a marginalized group rather than undergoing the onerous task of actually becoming a better human being.










  • An apartheid-loving nazi calls for the nazi party to be the savior of Germany? Never would I have guessed.

    The information, I as a not very politically interested German (understatement) have: We are holding re-elections on Feburary 23rd because the current government imploded. Basically, the rich guys’ party doesn’t want to make rich guys pay taxes and being children about it, most other parties seem desperate at this point, else they wouldn’t have challenged that much. They have never cared that much, so I have no idea what changed. The populist nazi party Musk cheers for has a lot traction because people are beyond stupid and self-centered and I fear that they will get a significant amount of votes. Maybe they don’t win outright, but they will realistically take second place. I regard everyone that considers to vote for AfD as a nazi.
