Literally cant have a "holy war" or jihad in the name of something not holy or inspired by divinity.

If that's the case, then your original statement:

Never seen a jihad in the name of secularism.

was utterly meaningless.

"Never seen a jihad in the name of a group of people who are incapable of jihad".

I took it in the only possible way it could be applied-- a secular group of people literally slaughtering those of all religions to impose state atheism. A secular war against religion.

It's a trite and stupid discussion anyway.

One of the most controversial aspects of the Reign of Terror was the dechristianization campaign.

This was a series of measures designed to eradicate Christianity from France. Churches were closed, religious symbols were destroyed, and priests were forced to flee the country.

Religion is power. It's an authority.

If you're looking for ultimate power, you must dismantle any authority structures.

That can include intellectuals, Religion, Family structure. Hell, even comedy can be a threat if it's able to speak truth to power. Same with journalism.

The lie of freeing people of oppression by removing authority structures only really results in centralizing power that has the ability to oppress without challenge.

God lol I never would. I know for a fact that my best friend since 4th grade (we use to swing on the swing and try to spit all the way do the school wall. And we would bring toys from home and try to throw them up on the road when semis were coming) wears one of these..

It's weird ngl, but it hard to speak up but it's like when someone with a super ugly feature, like a bad crooked eye or something is talking to you and it's like an elephant in the room. I wanna say I think he even wore it in his wedding pictures. Probably untrue but kinda not in a way.

[EDIT] WAIT! I had a roommate, we worked at the same place too. HE wore one. And this guy was to the 9s with that meme-able brilliant, snide, refined Dos XX shit. Like "What??..50 Shades of Grey is actually good literature. You're just too immature" kinda shit

To me that kind isn’t as bad, because it hasn’t been memed into irreverence like the other kind has

The type of dudes to wear the other kind are fairly plugged into the internet and have to know by now that people have been meme’ing them for the past decade. I can’t see any of them still wearing one other than as an attempt at self-deprecating humor….

Now this sparked my train of thought and I'm tryna think of other well known instances of some perfectly innocuous item that is now inescapably paired with some ridiculous new meaning behind it.. I mean, maybe not say-well yeah, like "Aunt Jemima" now I guess.. something like that, like the fedora like look at these two pictures. Uh-huh, dude..
